The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 466 An Enjoyable Dinner

"This way, please." A tall and slender attendant wearing a long red cheongsam gestured for Zhou Jingren and Lily to follow her into the private room that they have reserved in advance. She smiled and bowed as she opened the door for them.

"This is a VIP room. As you can see, it is carpeted and the walls have a noise cancellation feature. One of its features is a high-quality plush sofa in the living room that is perfect for parties and celebrations." She said as she followed them inside the 20,000 sq feet space. The woman gave the couple a polite smile. Booking such a room in less than twenty-four hours rarely happened before. The woman couldn’t help but wonder what kind of influence the couple has to be able to contact the executive chef and owner of this restaurant.

"Our floor to ceiling windows offer a 360-degree view of the whole city, that includes the Marina Bay. We also have an outdoor terrace with the perfect lighting and seating arrangements to enjoy the view. As you can see, we are on the 45th floor of the building. The view from up here is quite spectacular, especially during the night. You can also request for a live performance from our entertainer or a DJ. We would gladly provide whatever you need."

"Good." Lily smiled. "This is perfect. What kind of wines do you have?" she asked, eyeing the alcohol cabinet in the bar.

"We have a collection of champagne and aged wine as well as spirits." The woman answered. "The executive chef told us to give a complimentary Dom Perignon Rose 1998 Magnum. We will serve it later on when the guests arrived. If this does not suit your taste, we will gladly provide you with the most expensive wine that we have."

"Perfect," Lily said she pulled Zhou Jingren towards the terraces. Both of them started looking at the sunset on the horizon. "Thank you. Please take care of our guests once they arrived." She uttered, a mysterious smile plastered on her face as she leaned against her husband’s shoulders.

The woman quickly excused herself and leave both Zhou Jingren and Lily to themselves. According to her superior, she only needed to listen to Lily’s words and she will be all right. The woman knew that only the elite can book the VIP room like this and treat it as if their own for the night. In fact, she had seen a lot of rich people spend their nights here, partying with their friends and family.

However, this was the first time that someone would book this place for a dinner with less than ten people. What kind of person would book twenty thousand sq. ft. place just to have a luxurious dinner?

"Maybe they just wanted to show off?" she mumbled to herself as she pressed the down button of the room’s private elevator. But who would spend thousands just to show off? Maybe there will be a big deal happening in the room? "Never mind," she said. This is none of her business. All she needed to do now is listen to Miss Lily’s words and do her job.

When Isaac Lee arrived at the restaurant, he was already scowling. He had been to all kinds of restaurants in Singapore. He had been to the most luxurious and expensive ones. However, he had never heard of a person booking the whole floor just to themselves. He never expected that Lily and Zhou Jingren would do such a thing.

To Isaac, this does not make any sense at all. Wasn’t this just dinner?

"This way, please." Once again, the woman who led Zhou Jingren and Lily earlier led the group towards its private elevator.

"This is not the most expensive restaurant in Singapore. I was expecting more from that man." Adrian Lee sneered as he watched the number of the elevator go up. "What a cheap man."

"They booked the whole floor," Samantha answered meekly. She was standing just next to Adrian. "I say that is better than a room that can only cater eight people."

"Well, that is too wasteful and extravagant." Displeasure flashed on Adrian’s face as he glared at his woman. "Including Lily and Zhou Jingren there will be a total of eight people attending this dinner. He should have just booked the most expensive restaurant in the City."

In response, Samantha lowered her head, masking the disgust in her eyes.

*DING*

The elevator door opened, revealing a beautifully lit living room with a big Swarovski chandelier.

"Please follow me," the woman smiled at everyone and led them towards the dining room. "Please take your seats, I will go inform Miss Lily and you have arrived." Her words immediately made Isaac irritated, however, before he could open his mouth to say something, Lily’s voice echoed inside the room.

"You are late." She smiled as she walked alongside Zhou Jingren.

"Excuse me?" Thomas knitted his brows. This should be the first time that he met Lily. However, he could already feel his blood boil at the woman. He stared at her face as her lips lifted into a mocking smile.

"You are ten minutes late." It was Zhou Jingren. He pulled out a chair for Lily before sitting next to her on the big circular rosewood table.

An awkward silence descended the room as they watched Lily thanked her man before smiling at them. "Not a very good start for a family dinner." Lily eyed everyone before her gaze landed on Demi and her uncle. "My mistake. I guess this is not a family dinner, after all." She gave the duo a knowing smile.

Isaac cleared her throat to lighten the room. He ignored Lily and instead directed his gaze at Zhou Jingren. "I am sure you remember your uncle Thomas and Demi Liang. You already met them at the airport. Let me introduce you to Adrian Lee, he is your cousin, Thomas Lee’s only son. This is Adrian’s fiance, Samantha. I’m sure you have seen her in a few billboards here." He then gestured towards his secretary. "And this is my assistant and the man that I trust the most. Ron Liang. He is Demi’s paternal uncle."

"I hope we will have an enjoyable dinner," Isaac added as he smiled at his grandson.
