A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 616

"Jack, what kind of job did you land to suddenly become so loaded? Hook us up too!" Queenie pressed eagerly.

Joshua quickly cut her off, saying, "That job's not for me or you. Just enjoy the meal."

"Oh!"

Misreading the hint, Queenie assumed that Jack's new gig might be less than respectable.

She giggled and teased, "Well, thanks for this feast, Jack! This must've cost thousands of dollars, maybe even 10 thousand dollars, right? Once Joshua makes it to the CBA, we'll treat you all too. His autograph will be worth a fortune by then. We'll all get rich!"

Isaac, Joshua, and the rest of the men looked at Queenie with odd expressions.

Joshua flushed in embarrassment. Even if he did make it to the CBA, would Jack need his signature? If anything, he'd want Jack's autograph.

Queenie was clearly clueless. She said that the meal had to have cost thousands of dollars or maybe even 10 thousand dollars? She clearly didn't know about the two bottles of vintage Lafite at their table.

Sure, she'd dabbled in elite social circles but never the real inner circle—the kind where a single sip of wine cost more than her monthly rent.

For the first time, Joshua felt a pang of embarrassment. He reminded Queenie, "Stop talking nonsense. This meal cost over 100 thousand dollars. Just eat, okay?"

Queenie was stunned. Seeing Joshua's strained expression, she realized her blunder and immediately stayed silent.

Luckily, Jack wasn't the type to hold grudges over a careless remark.

As the night wore on and bottles emptied, the group grew pleasantly buzzed.
