Chapter 105 - 104: Celeste Noir
The sun hung high overhead, casting a golden sheen across Beverly Hills.
Rex sat at a quiet corner table with a view of the skyline in one of LA’s most exclusive rooftop restaurants, Celeste Noir. It was known for its private terraces, celebrity sightings, and a menu curated by Michelin-starred chefs.
After shopping around, especially after an impromptu mini fashion show, he was a bit tired and hungry. So, he chose one of the top nearby restaurants: Celeste Noir.
From his location, he could see the breathtaking skyline of LA, dotted with tall skyscrapers, luxury mansions hanging in the sky, and, of course, the iconic Beverly Hills—the place that houses almost half of Hollywood’s elites.
Just as he was admiring the view, a waiter in a neat uniform arrived with the menu.
"Good day, sir. The weather is really nice today, sunny and breezy, perfect for dining outdoors," the waiter greeted with a gentle smile.
Rex smiled and nodded. He didn’t touch the menu handed to him and instead asked, "What are the recommended dishes?"
The waiter smiled again and said in a gentle tone, "Sir, we have Kobe Rib Eye Beef Steak that just arrived this morning. I would definitely recommend trying it. Besides that, we have Fresh Fried Cod with Lemon, Lobster with Seasonal Vegetables, Puff Pastry Black Truffle Soup, and Cheese Dessert on the menu today. How about a citrus sorbet to finish?"
"Okay, let’s go with all of these," Rex replied without dawdling. He didn’t overthink it. You can’t go wrong with the waiter’s recommendations.
"Very well, sir. The meal will be delivered soon." With that, the waiter hurried off.
Rex couldn’t help thinking that rich people really knew how to enjoy life. The Wagyu beef he had just ordered came directly from Japan.
