Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

CELINE’S POV

“This restaurant has earned a reputation for having oxcollent food…” Blade

remarked as he sat down and handed me the menu with an excited smile on

his face.

As I took the menu from his hand, I nervously bit the lower part of my lip. My

scowl deepened as I looked over the list of the foods that were on the menu.

Each individual dish cost not lower than forty–five dollars to purchase. It was

too terrifying to order cuisine of this kind in this establishment.

“A penny for your thoughts?” The guy asked me, undoubtedly realizing that I

was hesitating to order. “Is there something that’s not quite right?”

“No way, not even close…” I smiled awkwardly as I handed back the menu to

him. This guy is here to swindle a lunch out of me, isn’t he? How did he even

find a place this remote? My wallet was already crying at the prices on this

menu.

Blade took the menu from me and proceeded to place an order for some of

the restaurant’s most well–known and pricey meals, which resulted in several

hundred dollars in charges,

I also asked the walter if he might assist me In charging my phone, telling

him that I needed to get in touch with somebody really important.

When everything that Blade ordered had finally been delivered, he began to

dig in and I just stayed there watching him, unable to touch any dish.

“This taste is to die for. Come on, help yourself to it…” Blade gave me a

friendly smile and offered me to try one of the dishes that was sitting in front

of me.

“Indeed, it is…” the corner of my mouth twitched and I tried the wild salmon

that he pushed in front of me, and I nodded in agreement that it was really

good before tears started to well up in my eyes.

In the past… Jenny and I have shared meals, spending only about two to

three dollars, but this meal…

“Hey, are you okay…?” he asked when he noticed my unpleasant face after

tasting the wild salmon.

“Yeah… It’s just that…” I heaved a sigh, forcing a smllo at him. “Oh, forget

about it. Just go on, eating…”

Blade wiped his lips with the table napkin, and then he turned his attention to

me with a smile on his face. “What’s your name?” he asked, pushing the

plates away from him making me narrow my brows.

Is that all he did–tasted one or two spoonful of each of the dishes, and then

he’s done?

“My name is Celine…” I spoke in a low voice. “Are you done eating?”

“I’m full…” he casually said before leaning back against his seat.

“Excuse me… what?” A rich person again. He’s wasting food and money, and I couldn’t take it. I couldn’t believe it! For a poor person like me and Jenny, I

don’t think she will be happy with such a man who has a habit of being

extravagant and wasteful.

“Bald I’m full, how about you?” He repeated, and I couldn’t stop myself from

alamming my hand down on the table, which caused him to flinch, and his

eyes widened as he gazed at me.

“If I hadn’t picked you up at the airport, I probably would have assumed that

you were just any random person searching for something to eat. Are you

aware that a single meal in this restaurant can cost several hundred

dollars?” I waited for him to respond, but his face remained expressionless,

so I went on with what I was saying. “You took at most two bites before

declaring that you are full. If I’m being completely honest, I don’t think Jenny

has the money to support you, so if you’d do me a favor and walk out her life,

you could save her from a lot of pain in the future that you’re going to cause

her!”

I took a moment to compose myself before picking up my spoon and started

to eat, and trying to finish everything he ordered.

you don’t want to eat, then I will!” I crammed a large piece of steak into my

mouth and made the statement while doing so. “I should at least get my

money’s worth!”

My blood even boiled in fury when he just watched me with amusement in

his eyes before he laughed out aloud. I gave him a condescending look while

I shoved a piece of chicken further into my mouth.

“You know what, there’s nothing funny here, and I’m telling you this… you

can’t have everything go your way just because you’re aesthetically

pleasing. Three hundred dollars for a lunch? My God! This is nothing more

than an insult to individuals who have worked very hard for their money!”

I shoved the last piece of steak into my mouth before waving a hand in the

air to get the waiter’s attention.

“Excuse me, but is my phone done charging?” I asked before I drank the

water from the glass,

“I’ll check for it, Miss…” he said before he left again to check my phone.

grin that was plastered on his lips remained there the entire time. What the

hell was wrong with this guy?

“Here’s your phone, Miss, the battery is already full…” After the walter had

brought me my phone and I had thanked him for it, I turned it on, and

immediately saw Jenny’s name appear on the screen, indicating that she

was calling me.

“Hello, Jenny… I’m already with

“Celine, I’m really sorry!” she cut me off and I frowned, wondering why she’s

apologizing to me.

“What’s the matter again?”

“My boyfriend was supposed to be there today but he couldn’t make it. I’m

extremely sorry to bother you with this, Celine, but his flight is scheduled for tomorrow… Because my hand was slowly making its way down, putting the

phone on the table as I stared at the man in front of me with my mouth

agape and my eyes wide open, I was unable to hear what she was telling me

over the phone.

“Who are you?” I whispered it between clenched teeth, and he laughed as he

extended his hand for another handshake.

“My name is Jake Harvey… It’s nice to meet you, Celine…”
