When Eugene agreed, Lara instantly became elated and shouted to the bartender, ”20 more bottles of Dom Perignon!”
Then Lara looked smugly at Lyla.
Lyla ordered one more Dom Perignon than Lara, meaning she had made 1,500 dollars more.
Now, Lara ordered 20 bottles of Dom Perignon in one sitting, instantly surpassing Lyla by a wide margin.
Lyla panicked immediately and looked back at Mandra.
Benita could not stand it anymore. He had been letting Lyla do whatever she wanted, but there had to be a limit.
The competition was going to get them anywhere.
Therefore, Benita stood up, looked at Lara and Eugene, and said loudly, “I’ll book the entire place tonight. Everyone’s bill is on me!”
Once he said that, the large nightclub went up in turmoil. Everyone cheered!
Screams and shouts even rang one after another.
Lara’s face instantly turned pale. Eugene was visibly relieved.
Eugene also wanted to help Lara, but the cost was too great if he forced it.
Now that Benita said everyone’s bill was on him, now he did not have to pay a single cent tonight. He would not let go of such a good opportunity, of course.
Although his father was a leather merchant and his family was rich, it was his father’s money, not his.
Eugene’s pocket money was only about 100,000 dollars a month.
He was already having a headache when Lara kept ordering Dom Pérignon. Now, he would not continue the competition no matter what.
Eugene drunkenly got up and nodded to Benita with a chuckle.
“Mr. Mill, wait. Wait for me…” Lara glared at Lyla and Benita before running after Eugene.
Benita went to settle the bill around 11 pm.
Tonight’s bill was more than 500,000 dollars. Luckily, the cash Sandra had brought could handle it.
Sandra was smoking a cigarette while Benita looked disapprovingly at Lyla in front of the nightclub.
“There’s a total of half a million dollars. You’ll get 10% as commission, which is 50,000 dollars. Once you get the money, you can quit. Don’t work here anymore.” Benita said earnestly.
What could Lyla say but nod?
Benita turned to look at Sandra and said, “We should get back.”
“Yeah, let’s go back to the hotel. Let’s go back to the hotel.” Sandra nodded with a chuckle.
Benita and Sandra walked off into the distance together, but Lyla suddenly caught up with them and said sheepishly, “Dr. Lennon, give me your contact information so you can get in touch with me if you need me.”
“I’d rather not,” Benita said as he shook his head.
Benita and Lyla did not have much to do with each other, and he would not do too much for this girl. After all, the two hardly know each other.
He had done enough by giving her so much tonight. It would be best if he could get this girl on the right track.
Benita would not force her if she refused to take his advice and still wanted to work in a nightclub and live such a debauched and degrading life.
