"If you have a company, then I'm the restaurant owner! The older woman, you're ridiculous. Stop fantasizing and pay your bill immediately! If you don't pay now, don't blame me for calling the police!" The waitress said impatiently and threatened to show her cell phone.
The older adult looked annoyed and pursed her pouting lips but still looked arrogant. "I can pay! I just forgot my wallet!"
"Then call your family! Tell them to come and pay for your meal."
"I don't have a cell phone."
"Old woman, don't mess with me. Admit you don't have any money! Don't tell me you also stole those clothes to look like a classy person?! Why are there so many swindlers and beggars roaming the premises." The waitress grumbled with a contemptuous look at the older adult.
"I'm not a beggar!" the old woman looked offended and stomped her foot in annoyance.
Danera, who saw the argument between the older adult and the waitress, could not remain silent. Although the woman looked arrogant and her clothes looked somewhat classy despite being eccentric, she still had no money, not even a cell phone. Danera had a conscience that couldn't bear to see an old lady being yelled at and insulted in public.
She cleared her throat to attract the attention of the waitress and the older adult. The grandmother
"How much is this lady's bill? Let me pay the bill."
The older adult turned her gaze to Danera. Her facial expression turned happy as if she was seeing Danera for the first time.
"My daughter, when are you coming home?" She grabbed Danera's hand affectionately as if she was her daughter who hadn't come home in years. "Why don't you tell me you're coming home? Did your studies abroad go very well?"
Danera was silent and puzzled at the old lady's change in demeanor, but she smiled nonetheless. "Madam, you have the wrong person. I'm not your daughter."
The grandmother looked angry and hit Danera on the arm. "Silly child! Of course, you're my daughter; your face and nose are so similar to mine!" Then she stretched out her hand to grope Danera's face with sadness and confusion. "When did you grow so tall? I remember you being 15 years old."
The look in her eyes as she looked at Danera was full of confusion and sadness.
Looking at her figure like she was in her seventies, she couldn't possibly have a 15-year-old child. She even misrecognized Danera.
"Emily, why are you looking at mom like that? Do you still hate your mom? You're angry that mom didn't spend more time with you and neglected you. Honey, I'm sorry, my work is really busy."
The older adult continued to ramble on with confusing sentences.
Danera was worried and felt that the old lady seemed to be ill. She probably had Alzheimer's.
"Hah! What the heck? Don't tell me the old lady is sick. No wonder she's so strange! She's already ordered a lot of expensive food and not paid! This makes me angry and upset!" The waitress grumbled in annoyance.
Danera looked at him with narrowed eyes. "I'll pay this woman's bill."
"Huh, really? Do you know how much that woman's bill is?"
Danera looked doubtful. "How much is this grandmother's bill?"
"800 dollars!"
Danera was speechless, and her mouth agape when she heard the amount.
"8... 800 dollars?"
Seriously, is that lady buying eating gold, or is the restaurant that expensive?
The waitress folded her arms in front of her chest as she gave Danera a haughty look.
"Do you have the money to pay that old lady's bill? Don't tell me you don't have money either?" She stared at Danera's shabby clothes and looked at her with a scornful expression.
Danera gritted her teeth and glared at the arrogant waitress.
"Yes, I can pay, but you must return the watch you stole from this woman. It was her daughter's precious watch."
"I didn't steal her watch. This is my watch! I bought it last month." The waitress dodged angrily.
Danera looked at the watch the waitress was wearing and was surprised to see that it was from a famous brand that was quite expensive. She knew the brand because her mother had one of the same watches. There was no way the waitress could afford the watch, which cost almost millions.
"We'll know after calling the restaurant manager and checking the CCTV. Where's your manager?" Danera faced the waiter and wanted to enter the restaurant.
The waitress panicked and blocked Danera. "What did you call the manager for? Please don't mess with me. Pay up and get out of here before I call the police!"
Danera smiled at the waiter's threat. "Alright, let's call the police to investigate this matter. I won't leave until I see the matter clearly."
The maid could fool a sick older adult but couldn't fool her. Did she think Danera wouldn't dare report her?
The waitress's face immediately turned pale, and she hurriedly removed the watch from her hand.
"This is indeed that woman's watch. Please don't report to the manager and the police, I beg you...." She begrudgingly handed the watch to Danera.
Danera took the watch from the waitress and reprimanded her sternly.
"You shouldn't cheat a sick old woman. If this happens again, I will report you to your manager." Danera said seriously, warning the waitress.
The waitress's face took on a sullen look. "So you'll still pay the woman's bill?"
"Yes, I'll still pay the bill."
"Then come with me to pay the bill." The waitress snorted and turned around to go inside the restaurant.
Danera faced the older adult and handed her a watch.
"Madam, this is your watch, right?"
The older adult took the watch in confusion, and then suddenly, her face changed strangely.
"Ah, that's right. Thank you, young lady." She said with dignity and coldness, as if she was sober and not like a person who has Alzheimer's.
"Madam, do you remember what happened?" Danera looked at her carefully.
Alisha raised her chin with a haughty expression.
"Of course, I remember. Do you think I have senile dementia? I'm not that old."
Danera could only smile in understanding. "Alright, Madam. Let's go inside and pay your bill."
The woman's expression was sullen. "That waitress was very rude and stole my watch. This restaurant shouldn't have hired her. Young lady, it's not that I don't have money, but no, I didn't bring my wallet."
Alisha paused for a moment before continuing her sentence with dignity and pride. "Say whatever you want. I can give you whatever you ask for after my driver comes. A luxury bag or an apartment? Think of it as a favor from me."
Danera could only smile half-heartedly. The woman said it as if she was doing Danera a favor and not asking for one.
"I don't want a fancy bag or an apartment. Just return the 800 dollars if you have it. If you don't, it's fine."
"Young lady, don't underestimate me. I can really get you a fancy bag and an apartment. I have a very handsome grandson. He's the CEO of a big company. I can even marry you off to my grandson." Alisha said half-heartedly at the end of her sentence as if it was hard to match her precious grandson.
"Unfortunately, my grandson has a useless and evil lover. I must separate them. Since you look good enough, I will match you with my grandson."
