It's already evening, the moon and stars filled the dark cloudy sky, people went to the restaurant but left after they knew what the price was.
Liam and his family visited the restaurant and chatted with Apollo in the counter, Kate and co felt weird seeing unfamiliar faces, but didn't mind it, it is a restaurant after all.
The regulars sat on other tables and talked among themselves while thinking what to order, there are only a few dishes but they all taste godly so they don't know what to pick.
Suddenly, a realization dawned on them as they chatted about food-related stuff, Noah's eyes went wide as sudden enlightenment befall upon him, he repeatedly poked Kate with his mouth agape, "K-kate? This is a restaurant, right?"
Kate who is busy playing with her phone chuckled, "Yes... It is, why?"
"Then we could order multiple dishes, right?"
Kate realized what Noah is getting at, her eyes also widen at the sudden realization, Abbie and Levi also overheard their conversation and became speechless. Although they only eat egg fried rice or noodles, that doesn't mean they could only eat one dish for each meal.
Levi facepalmed as he realized his stupidity, they were so used to eating only one dish that they didn't know that they could order multiple dishes at a time. It is a restaurant after all.
While they were dumbfounded at the sudden enlightenment Noah shared to them, a cute voice suddenly permitted the air, "Brother, can you cook me french fries again? Cake too, pleasee."
They looked at where the voice came from in unison, what they saw is a small little girl, sitting on a chair with her small feet hovering, her hands intertwined, and her mouth pouting, as if trying to beg Apollo to cook her fries.
The trios heart melted at the cute scene, meanwhile, Levi's heart started to soften a little.
Apollo smiled at her, "Okay, what else do you want?"
The regulars, Kate, Abbie, Noah, and Levi, they haven't seen Apollo smile so this is a new thing to them, they saw Apollo smile for a bit but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared so it isn't as captivating as this.
Kate's heartbeat grew faster as she stared at Apollo, her eyes didn't blink once to not miss Apollo's smile for even a second, her mouth agape 'I-is this... love...?'. Noah noticed this and had a grin on his face, he placed his hands under Kate's chin and closed her mouth shut, "I think that's enough staring for now. Think of the food, not the chef!"
Kate realized this and covered her face in embarrassment, all she wants now is to dig a hole and bury herself to escape the embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Levi went outside and smoked with his left hand in his pocket, as the moonlight shone on him, looking serene as the smoke began to dissipate. Abigail looked at his silhouette, mesmerized at the scene.
...
Anne requested a lot of food, Liam and Cristine felt embarrassed and hope Apollo would understand.
Apollo didn't actually mind Anne's ridiculous requests, it's as easy as snapping a finger for him. Anne requested a bunch of food, French fries, Pizza, Burgers, and Fried chicken. To sum it up, she requested a lot of junk food. Although they are junk food when bought in stores, the food Apollo buys from Atlas won't even cause a stomach ache.
Kate and co watched as Apollo brought Anne lots of food, one thing on their mind right now isn't 'Who is she to the boss?', it is 'I wonder how delicious those dishes taste.".
They watched Anne stuff her face with food, her face filled with grease and crumbs, looking like a bonified foodie loli.
*Grglrlgr*
They looked at Anne and looked at their stomachs, and looked back at Anne. A bunch of thoughts rushed to their heads, 'Can I steal her food?', 'I'm gonna befriend her so I could eat too.', 'I wanna steal it so bad, ugh.'. They aren't as shameless as their thoughts though if they were, they would've done it long ago and not just stare at her.
Noah stood up from his seat, he remembered that they hadn't ordered yet. He walked towards the counter and leaned in, looking side to side, trying to feel mysterious. Noah looked at Apollo and signalled him to come to him, when Apollo got close, he signalled him that he wants to whisper something, still trying to be mysterious, he placed his hands on Apollo's ear and whispered, "Boss, can you hook me up too? I want to impress Abbie, can you help me just this once?"
Apollo returned to his normal posture and sighed as he looked at Noah's pitiful begging pose with his try-hard puppy eyes and his hand intertwined, trying to imitate Anne, he shook his head and chuckled, he crossed his arms, indicating that he's now serious and willing to listen, "Okay, what do you want?"
Noah's eyes beamed as he heard the words he can only dream hearing from Apollo, he thought up what Abbie would like and said them slowly, afraid that Apollo would mess up, "She likes Steak Grade A5 if you have those, Pizza, she isn't choosy so be crazy and put some A5 meat there too..."
Noah requested a lot, Steak, Pizza, Fries, Truffles, to list a few, for drinks, he only requested cranberry juice because she seems to like that.
...
The food is already finished while Noah was just listing them but Apollo intended to delay time to not be suspicious. Noah sat in his chair anxiously as he waited, he looked at Abbie from time to time with an awkward yet expecting gaze.
Apollo looked at his phone to check the time, 'An hour has passed, this should be enough.', he got the food from Atlas and placed each and everyone of them to plates of all sizes, he walked out of the kitchen inside the house and not the open kitchen.
Noah faintly saw a silhouette of a man holding two plates, he got so excited that he wanted to scream "Yes!" on the top of his lungs but suppressed it.
Apollo delivered all of the food to their table, the beef he bought may not be Grade A5 but it came from Imperial Cows that came from the immortal realm, Atlas gave them a strict diet of grass grown with water from the fountain of life and the water itself.
The other food, he doesn't know where it comes from because Atlas doesn't say where they come from.
Kate, Abbie stared nonplussed at the amount of food in their table, "B-boss? Are you sure this is for our table?" Kate asked, not removing her gaze from the food.
Abbie wanted to also ask something but she is so hungry that she couldn't even speak.
Noah looked at them with a smug face, he ignored Kate and looked at Abbie with sincere eyes, "What do you think? Is this good enough?" he asked.
Abbie looked at him, expressionless but a barely visible smile could be seen in the tip of her lips, she crossed her arms, "Hmph! Is this all you can afford?"
Noah didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't even know how much all of the food costs. He took a slice of pizza and ate it silently in a corner, sounds of weeping could be heard from time to time.
