Instead of a restaurant, we end up in front of his hotel. He says it's fine and it would only be a moment. So, I get out and walk with him inside. We walk to the hallway and I stay there but little Joe and Joe himself invites me inside to sit down so I'm not standing in a hallway myself, so I do. Again, I'm assuming he doesn't have bad intentions and didn't want to be that person that says "Hey are you trying to sleep with me? I have a boyfriend you know!" when he was just being nice, so I just stay quiet and say sure. I'm just standing around and he ends up taking a shower and asking me to join him, I laugh and say "You're funny" and he replied along the lines of saying he knew and the offer was on the table if I decided he wasn't joking. I stay standing and keep pacing, He eventually comes out dressed but invited me to sit next to him and I'm like okay, so I sit at the foot of the bed and he keeps asking if I'm nervous and I said yes, I thought we were going to leave and it is a bit weird. He says "there's nothing weird, I'm just waiting until they get the table!" to put me at ease. He starts asking me about how I started streaming and just small talk then starts showing me pictures of his car and other things, but he does so in a way where I have to get close enough that I'm pretty much next to him on the bed. He then said "Say cheese" and snapped a picture of me next to him on the bed and i laughed nervously but asked if we could go. He said yep, got up, called little joe to tell him we are leaving and we went downstairs and got in a cab.
I'm in this cab and he's telling me how I'll like this place. At this point, I don't care how much it costs or where it is, I'm just glad someone else will be there. I bring out my phone and Joe tells me to put it away and to enjoy the time with him, so I do, assuming that he finds it rude so I try to respect that. we finally get to this restaurant and joe starts telling me how expensive it is and how hard it is to get a table. I'm a bit nervous again because I didn't have much money, but I keep that to myself because I agreed to come and I'm not going to expect anyone to pay for my food. As we are walking inside, Joe turns to me and says "I have to tell them you're my girl" and I look at him like I didn't understand because I assumed we were just meeting YouTubers. He repeats it and just said "go along with it" then dragged me in.
Once inside, he starts shaking people's hands and I don't recognize ANYONE. He introduces me as his girl and doesn't mention my name once. I sit down and try to see if maybe I can remember who they were but can't. Joe starts talking about YouTube and his account. I quickly realize he's talking to someone who manages his account and everyone else at the table are executives or people who specifically deal with AngryJoe. I had absolutely no business being at this lunch. I stare at my plate the whole time and only look up when Joe feels the need to include me in a conversation or to nudge me. I attempt to contact Allen or my boyfriend but Joe pushed my phone away and said "It's rude to do that" so I put it away so he wouldn't get mad. Eventually one of the execs asks me what my YouTube channel was and asked for my business card. I told him I don't have a business card and don't really do YouTube, he said I should start and when I do, to let him know. He hands me his business card. Eventually, Joe gets up and says he has a party he has to go to. He motions for me to get up and the executives all stand up and tell joe bye and wave goodbye to me. Joe then turned to me and said "Wasn't that nice?" then we get into a cab that little Joe is sitting in too.
