Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 54

54 /630

Ariana glanced at the menu and said, "Please serve me one of each dish featured on your signboard."

The server was slightly taken aback. Just the desserts on the feature board were enough to serve six people. If Ariana wanted all of them, it was certain she wouldn't be able to finish them all.

The server, feeling concerned, gently reminded her, "Miss, that's quite a lot of food. There might be some left over."

Ariana curled her lips into a light smile and glanced at the person before her, Lambert, "That's okay, I have him."

Lambert's eyes darkened slightly as he tried to guess what Ariana was planning.

Once the desserts arrived, Ariana neatly arranged them all together.

She looked at Lambert with a light smile, asking, "Mr. Stone, let's play a game."

"What kind of game?"

Lambert knew this woman was probably trying to set him up somehow but he played along.

"A game with penalties for those who lose." Ariana mused.

Lambert looked at her blankly, showing an evident interest in her proposed game.

Seeing that he agreed, Ariana looked at the array of desserts on the table and asked, "Mr. Stone, do you think there's any difference in the value of these desserts?"

"Depending on their popularity. The more popular they are, the higher their value, even if the cost is more or less the same." Lambert's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he answered seriously.

She looked out of the glass window at the constant stream of people, explaining, "Take a look, the customer flow of this store is constant every day. Even if they only sell these few featured desserts, they can probably sell several hundred servings each day. If you calculate it carefully, the owner must make quite a profit.

For the customers, the exquisite desserts can relax their mood and put them in a better working state. So, the inherent value of these desserts has far exceeded their cost."

The people around them, who were listening in on the conversation, agreed entirely with Ariana's statements. Indeed, the sweets in this restaurant were not only exquisite and tasty, but although slightly costly, they offered excellent service.

Lambert gave a slight nod, "Well said."

Ariana smiled lightly, "So, Mr. Stone, what do you think of these deserts?"

"…"

Lambert was left speechless by her question and suddenly realized that this woman was making fun of him indirectly.

He looked at her with a smile, and said leisurely: "I am willing to admit defeat."

Hearing him say this, Ariana stood up with a light smile, speaking to the people in the restaurant, "Everyone, he lost a bet to me, and as a result, he has agreed to fulfill one of my requests."

"Wow…"

People in the restaurant cheered enviously at Ariana's words.

She quickly scanned the sweets on the table and told them, "As punishment, he will foot the bill for everyone today. Eat to your heart's content."

"Awesome…" Hearing the man was treating, the girls in the restaurant expressed their excitement and cheerfulness.

Ariana's move benefited many, and quite a few people even changed their view of her because of it.

She began to enjoy the desserts on the table. Though sweets didn't carry much nutritional value, their tastiness and appealing appearance were sure to lift the mood, which was why so many people adored them.

Even after realizing he was being used, Lambert was not upset. He asked, "Do you like it?"

Hearing this, Ariana looked up at Lambert, whose eyes were looking at her tenderly. His beautiful eyes seemed to contain a spell, mysteriously captivating.

She slightly avoided the gaze of Lambert, passed him another offering, and asked: "Want to give it a try?"
