Chapter 5 Outing

• "Can I get two cups of coffee?" Andrea asked.
• "Sure, sir, sure, we'll get to you in a short time," she replied.
• Andrea noticed she wasn't paying attention to him while answering; instead, she was enormously staring at Rex in admiration, who was busy admiring the gorgeous interior of the hotel.
• The receptionist looks like she has been captivated by the prince charming.
• "Sir, what do we offer you, too?" she asked, knowing he came with Andrea. She desperately wants to exchange even a greeting with him.
• Rex turned; the question brought back a memory lost in his imagination and admiration of the hotel's interior designs. With his hand shoved in his pocket out of shyness, like a middle school boy trying to get his first love. The way the female receptionist stared at him in admiration made him shy.
• "No, I came with him," he replied, pointing at Andrea, who patiently awaited the end of their drama.
• He rushed to Andrea, and they were escorted by an attendant who helped them get into a position where they could sit and relax.
• "Wait, so you mean as big as this hotel; there's no chance for new guests that came late?" as big as it is?
• "That's it; we are even lucky there was a vacant room for us; if not, we would have to go back and look for a random hotel," Andrea enunciated. Just then, they saw a beautiful brown-colored lady that wore the waitress uniform with an apron and walked majestically to their table.
• The Range Global JD Hotel was the most famous in Bloomsbury, where the university is located, and not everyone could afford to buy a bottle of water from them. Specifically, it is meant for celebrities. The hotel was lovely, with a well-furnished interior and exterior. The lowest-ranked worker in the Range Global JD hotel can afford to buy a typical flat in a West African country's capital city. That is to say, the lowest-ranked worker in the Range Global JD hotel earns a minimum of what a business tycoon in Pretoria, South Africa, makes in a month. In Nigeria, among the prominent men in Lagos, Nigeria.
• She dropped the glittering cups of coffee on the table.
• "Sir, is there anything else you need to request?" she asked, facing Rex's direction. Did she even think Rex was the boss while Andrea was his employee?
• "Yes, sir, I'm asking you, and pardon me if I got on your nerve," she added, staring at Rex with a cheerful expression.
• "Sorry, I'm... I'm not the...
• "Oh yeah, that's my boss; he doesn't like being addressed as a highly reputable person; that's why he didn't respond to you. On our way here, he asked me to act as the boss in disguise while he acted like a low-profile individual." Andrea interrupted Rex; he was grinning after he said those words. He covered Rex, who nearly exposed himself; he didn't want him to tell them he was poor here again by his actions and words.
• Rex was dismayed about who Andrea was referring to him as. Out of shame, he couldn't stop gazing at the coffee cup he was holding.
• "Oh, ok, sir, so does he need anything else?" the waitress asked.
• "Yes, also get him a bottle of champagne," Andrea added as Rex almost shouted excitedly.
• "We have three brands, sir: Alumia Champagne, which costs $1,000.
• We also have...
• "It's ok! Get him Elon Musk brand," Andrea cuts in, preventing the waitress from the long talks.
• "That's the most costly brand on board, sir, which costs $3,000."
• "Just go in there and get me what I ordered," Andrea enunciated.
• "Consider it done, sir," the waitress nodded and left to get what Andrea sent her.
• Rex was paralyzed on hearing those prizes: "Just for a drink?" he wondered. He could not believe someone would want to use his total income for five months to get him a drink.
• "Bro, what the f*ck is the meaning of what you just displayed now?"
• Andrea laughed and said, "Must you embarrass yourself everywhere to be seen as humble or loyal?" A phrase says, "How you address yourself is how the people will treat you." So always make it your aim to hide your identity in some places; it would not cost you anything to refer the waitress to me without any explanation. She doesn't need a f*ckin' reason; that is not her work here," Andrea said calmly, to which Rex nodded in affirmation.
• The waitress appeared with the bottle of champagne, as requested by Andrea; she placed it on the table in front of Rex and left.
• Rex was terrified of seeing the champagne; it had been ages since he had taken champagne. He could remember their final day in college, which was hosted by the head of the school, who hosted a party for all the students passing out. According to him, he did that after they made him proud by bringing home the best school in Birmingham city after they won in the yearly contest sponsored by the UK government. And also in remembrance of him. That was the first and last time he tasted champagne. He knew Andrea was financially stable, but he never imagined Andrea could afford to buy what those who live extravagant lifestyles buy, not even for himself or his girlfriend but for another person, which is him, Rex.
• Andrea was among the top-rated bestsellers in graphic design, rated in the top three on Upwork, with hundreds of stable clients. Andrea was not just a bossy person like Kanye West, who overrated himself as the wealthiest student at the University of London. No wonder he always supports Rex when he is urgently in need, mainly regarding food.
• They were still discussing when an attendant approached them and handed Rex an envelope, which they utilized for delivering messages to their existing customers and saying that their session had expired. They should kindly go to the receptionist and renew it or leave so others can use the spot.
• "Please, sir, I'm sorry for interrupting your discussions; this is to inform you that your time has been exhausted. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. There are tons of our clients out there that are patiently waiting for their turn; however, you can renew your session and enjoy your moment with us," Rex read.
• "Relax, man, chill yourself; maybe we can renew that. You know, I've been planning for a day like this, but my schedule was too tight. Especially the school; being a freelance graphic designer and a student, too, it's all in my head. The stressful projects, the assignments, and attending lectures "It's stressful, bro," he said, pausing as they heard the continuous corpse siren.
• Immediately, Rex saw corpses with pistols in their hands, followed by Kanye West.
