"Anyways, I get off my shift at 6. Text me if you want to hang out, cutie." The waitress leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "I'll show you what university students do on dates."

She giggled at his blush from the implication of her words and hot breath on his ear.

'Teasing a younger man is fun too.'

Erin was in the engineering faculty of her university, and so she was usually surrounded by men in the male-dominated discipline. Because of that, she received plenty of attention from men as one of the few attractive women in the school of engineering.

She had her pick of the men in her school, so Erin had confidence in spades. But Daniel was like a forbidden fruit, the ethics of fooling around with him was questionable, which made her even more excited. Not to mention he was way more handsome than the mostly nerdy engineering students she usually interacted with.

While he was feeling flustered from the close proximity of their bodies and sweet smell of Erin's perfume, this was the scene Brooke walked back to when she returned.

Her eyes narrowed at the waitress. In her mind, Daniel was too nice to be flirting with another girl behind her back so it had to be the bold waitress that was being sneaky.

"Ahem, shall we get going, oppa?" Brooke spoke up loudly, throwing Daniel off balance while Erin looked unaffected by her sudden intrusion.

The waitress was confident in her appearance, and compared to the plainer looking Brooke, she was indeed objectively better looking.

Erin wasn't even clear why Daniel was on a date with the plain looking girl. The difference in looks between the two was leagues apart. If Daniel was a 10/10, Erin was confident as an 8, where as Brooke was barely a 7. The difference between a 10 and a 7 wasn't just a mere 3 units…

Daniel wasn't aware of the tension between the two girls and just smiled, "Sure. Shall we split the bill?"

"Don't worry about it, it's on me." Brooke insisted. This was one area which she wouldn't lose out to the girl who still needed to work a part time job!

She pulled out her purse and handed Erin a credit card, "Bill please."

The waitress didn't like the haughty look in the younger girl's face but her thoughts changed when she saw the card.

'A black KDB credit card… isn't that the one reserved for extreme high net worth account holders!? I heard it is by invitation only, and there are only like a few hundred that exists in the entire world!'

Erin's fixed her jaw that was slightly ajar, and she had to hold herself back from giving a venomous sneer at the girl that she now looked at in a new light.

'Now I understand why they are dating… she is a pampered rich girl. Probably hasn't worked even a day in her life. This bitch, just watch me steal your boyfriend.'

Brooke didn't usually like taking out this credit card that her dad gave her. It drew a lot of attention from people who were aware of how exclusive the card was. Which was why although she came to this cafe rather often, she always paid with cash.

While her family didn't necessarily belong in the upper echelons of extreme high net worth account holders that usually received the exclusive KDB Black Card that was invitation-only, her dad had one because he was a director in the bank.

Although Brooke usually didn't like to flaunt her family status, she had to admit she felt very satisfied with how the waitress had to force a pleasant smile from her previously look of disbelief.

"Very good miss, please hold for a moment." The waitress said through a gritted smile, and went to the POS system.

The clueless Daniel naturally did not recognise the exclusive credit card, but he was more concerned that Brooke had insisted on paying.

"I'm not complaining but why are you treating me to lunch?"

"Well I was the one who asked you out after all. So isn't it normal that I am the one paying?"

"Is that how it is…?" Daniel wasn't familiar with the standard procedures for dating, so he didn't doubt Brooke's words. Naively, he started to think that the person who asked someone out on a date was naturally the person who had to pay.

"Yep! So everything today is my treat, oppa!" Brooke remarked, taking the opportunity to hold his arm again.

"I feel bad but if that's how it is, then I won't say anything more." Daniel felt like he really needed to start working so that he had some disposable income to spend. Otherwise he would never be able to ask a girl out on a date.

"Oh and have we decided where we are going after this?" He asked.

Brooke perked up, "Oh I did some research yesterday. There are movie showings for two films at 1.30pm and 1.45pm respectively. Or we could also go to the arcade if you aren't in the mood for a movie. There is also a pretty nice Bingsu shop near by if we want to get dessert. Ah, but these are just a few options, so if you have anywhere else you want to go, we can do that too!"

"How diligent. I'm starting to better understand what you are like, Brooke." Daniel chuckled in amusement at the rapid-fire date ideas from her.

She blushed and shyly replied, "W-well, that's what a date is for, right?"

Daniel nodded in agreement. When he first agreed to meet the girls on the weekend, he had initially thought that they were just hanging out. But it was starting to dawn on him that he was and would be going on dates. As in, between a boy and a girl… romantically.

"I'm pretty much down for whatever, so I don't mind watching a movie, going to the arcade or getting some dessert." Daniel remarked. She was the one paying anyways, so he didn't mind letting her choose where to go.

Brooke glanced at her phone and smiled, "Well we have plenty of time anyways, we can do all three! Unless you have something on later?"

"Nope, I'm all yours today. All three sounds great! Let's just cut loose for today."

Brooke smiled sweetly at his declaration. "Mmh, let's have fun today, oppa!"
