Chapter 19: Seven Hundred Thousand as Consultancy Fee

In the soft light of the suite's small dining room, a waiter dressed in evening attire brought food for two. After pouring the accompanying red wine into their glasses with a decanter, he politely bowed:

"Please enjoy your meal, both of you."

For Tommy, it was best to fill up on some food before attending the party. Otherwise, everyone would be drinking merrily, and he would be the only one fixating on food like a starving ghost—a truly scene-ruining behavior. So after both had showered, Tommy called the hotel to arrange a meal for them.

Noticing that the waiter bowed but didn't leave, Tommy reached for his trouser pocket, then realized he was dressed in a shirt and tie up top but only wore boxer shorts below. He pointed towards the bathroom: "Fetch my trousers for me, so I can get some change to tip you."
