Chapter 530: 184: Average, third in the world_3
Just as Flora sat down, she ordered two coffees with three-digit price tags and two desserts.
At that moment, Rachel felt like she didn’t belong in that cafe.
Yesterday, she bought four sets of clothes for her family, spending less than a thousand yuan in total.
Yet Flora had spent nearly eight hundred yuan on just two cups of coffee and dessert.
Not long after the two of them sat down, Viola Thompson arrived.
“Vio, over here!” Flora was very excited to see Viola and immediately waved her over, “I’ve got to tell you, the roasted milk tea at this place is super delicious! I just ordered one for you, and by the way, here’s the dessert menu if you want to add anything.”
Viola took the dessert menu and smiled, “Do you and Rachel want to add anything?”
Rachel replied, “We’ve already ordered.”
Flora nodded, “Right.”
Viola ordered a matcha mille crepe cake.
Rachel looked at Viola.
Suddenly, she felt that the distance between her and Viola had become much greater.
When she got the dessert menu, she started calculating the prices, thinking about how many days it would take to earn back the money spent.
But Viola didn’t hesitate at all to order a more than three hundred yuan matcha mille crepe cake.
The sense of disparity was too strong.
So strong that it made her feel inferior unconsciously.
Rachel lowered her head, picked up the silver spoon beside her, and started stirring her coffee.
At that moment, Flora continued, “The ice cream here is also good, Vio, Rachel, do you want to try?”
Ice cream?
Rachel hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to say it.
Now, she was not in a suitable condition to eat ice cream.
Before Rachel could speak, Viola said, “I’m not feeling well today, so I won’t have any cold food.”
“Alright,” Flora turned to Rachel, “How about you, Rachel?”
Rachel shook her head, “I can’t have it either during this special period.”
Flora laughed, “Then I’ll enjoy it all by myself!”
She loved the Hokkaido-style ice cream and would always have it every time she came here.
“Sure,” Rachel nodded, “You go ahead.”
Halfway through their meal, Rachel took the opportunity of going to the restroom to pay at the cashier, “Hello, how much is the bill for table 69?”
“One moment,” the cashier gave a customary smile, “In total, it’s one thousand three hundred yuan.”
One thousand three hundred yuan.
It was the amount of money Rachel could only earn in nearly half a month.
Rachel glanced at Viola and Flora who were chatting with each other.
There was an indescribable look in her eyes.
It felt like a huge gap had suddenly opened up between her and Viola.
“Would you like to pay with cash or Paypal?” the cashier asked her.
Rachel came back to her senses and smiled, “Cash.”
Just as Rachel took out her phone, the cashier smiled and said, “I’m sorry, miss, but your friend has already settled the bill.”
“Already settled?” Rachel was surprised.
“Yes,” the cashier nodded, “It’s already settled.”
Rachel glanced over her shoulder.
Was it Viola?
Just now, only Viola had left her seat halfway through the meal.
Rachel turned her gaze back and said to the cashier, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Rachel returned to her seat.
“Vio, which school are you planning to apply to?” Flora asked.
Viola thought for a moment, “Well, if everything goes as planned, it should be Capital University.”
Capital University!?
Hearing that, Flora’s face was full of surprise.
“Vio, have you received an offer from Capital University?” Flora quickly asked.
Capital University was a world-class institution.
Located at the pinnacle of the Nine Continent.
There was only one such school worldwide!
Capital University had no admission criteria known to the public, but one thing was certain – those who could enter Capital University all had unique talents!
They were truly the chosen ones!
Viola nodded slightly, “Yes.”
Her expression was so nonchalant, as if being accepted to Capital University wasn’t something worth boasting about.
Hearing this, Rachel was also surprised.
She knew that Viola scored full marks in the College Entrance Examination, but she didn’t know that Viola had received an invitation from Capital University.
Seeing the two of them look so surprised, Viola looked up with a faint smile in her eyes, “Didn’t you see it on Facebook?”
“What Facebook post?” Flora asked.
Viola’s red lips opened slightly, “When I received the invitation from Capital University, my second brother posted it on Facebook.”
So it wasn’t a secret.
Viola just didn’t bring it up.
Flora immediately took out her phone.
Rachel also took out her phone.
Looking at Samuel Thompson’s Facebook post, Flora exclaimed in amazement, “So this is what an invitation from Capital University looks like! Vio, you’re amazing!”</p
