Chapter 8

Javier wasn’t bitter about the disparity in their wealth, but he was rather self-conscious about his clothes. In one of their past conversations, Justin had let it slip about the estimated, reported net worth of some of the wealthiest people in the nation, and at nine hundred million dollars and counting, Hugo was definitely rich. Javier shook off any negative thoughts inside his mind when he and Hugo reached the steakhouse. He wasn’t surprised to discover that it was full, but he was grateful when one of the servers promised him and Hugo that one of the tables was being cleared at the moment. It should be available within the next five minutes or so.

“The food smells delicious,” Hugo whispered at Javier as the two of them were led to an empty table.

“Yeah. Absolutely.”

After that, it took them both less than five minutes to order what they wanted. Hugo glanced around the steakhouse for a moment before returning his focus on Javier.
