Chapter 80
"Vicky, are you trying to say that this restaurant isn't open for people like us? ■
Vicky nodded. "Why else would they implement a rule to prioritize members? The membership system
is meant to filter customers so that people who failed to fulfill certain requirements would stop coming
here.
"This restaurant targets not only wealthy people but customers of high status as well. They might anger
some people during this process, but
most of their customers would appreciate this. If you're a prince, will you be happy if they let a
commoner dine in the same restaurant as you do?”
Cece finally came to a realization. "I get it. Different social circles don't blend...and to dine with people
of lower status would disconcert them.”
"The higher their status, the more need they'd feel to distinguish themselves from others, and people

when they buy something, but when rich people buy brand-named products, they do so to emphasize
their status." 1
Vicky glanced around her and said, "The so-called 'customer service standards' that we know are
limited by our own experience, and rich people might find this pleasant because this separates them
from commoners." i
The dishes were served swiftly.
The two proceeded with their lunch, and neither Tyler nor Maria was seen walking out of the private
room even after Vicky was done eating, i
When she paid the bill, the manager apologized to her once again and offered her a membership card
as compensation, which she accepted with a smile.
As they walked out of the restaurant, Cece whispered, "We're not coming back to this place again,
Vicky, so why would you accept the card? You should've tossed it into the trash can."
"Don't be so reckless. We might need this somewhere in the future.’
A few days passed, and Vicky received another request for tailor-made services.
Ever since what happened with Jason, Vicky had established a rule to not accept requests from
anonymous customers as she learned from her previous experience that anonymity would give people
the opportunity to hurt her if they wished so.
The customer this time was a high-status lady who was supposed to be handled by Cece, but Vicky
took over out of concern that Cece might not be able to handle it.
The meeting was arranged to be held at the famed Eden Resort.
As soon as she informed the servant her purpose of visit, she was guided into the living room.
"Please take a seat, Miss Shaw. I'll get Miss Simmons to come down here," said the servant.
"Alright,” replied Vicky politely.
Once the servant left, Vicky sat on the couch and studied her surroundings when— i
"Woof, woof!’

Vicky looked down and spotted a gigantic white dog that was half her size, and since she did not know
much about dogs, she could not tell its breed.
The dog seemed to be extremely wary of strangers and would not stop barking and growling at her.
She scowled but did not chase it away or move since she knew that the dog was the pet of the house
owner.
"Woof! Woof!" The dog grew increasingly vicious as, all of a sudden, it leaped into the air.
Before she could react, it bit her, and she instinctively shoved the dog aside at the sharp pain on the
back of her hand.
The dog relentlessly tried to launch itself at her.
She looked down at the wound on her hand and narrowed her eyes dangerously, before kicking the
dog in the stomach as hard as she could.
