20 Fame
For four hours, he cooked the dishes, Dianna and Tiffa offered to help, but he refused, he wants to do this by himself it was his way of paying back for everything the four did for him. Even though he knows that Tiffa and the rest don't expect anything in return. He still felt a little guilty about it, so he didn't accept their offer to help.
And besides, He enjoys cooking. Back then, cooking is his way to escape the burden he was carrying, He forgets all that when he cooks.
"Hmm smells good, big sis Tiffa what do you think big bro is cooking? Said, Amy with an excited look on her face.
"I have no idea he chased us out from the kitchen, but you're right, it smells good," answered Tiffa
Grrr, they all look in the direction of Wedge, they saw him scratching his head, and they all laugh at the same time. They've been playing board games for the past 4 hours while waiting for Arc to finish his cooking.
"Alright, guys come over the food is ready" Arc's voice rang from the kitchen
All of them stood up and rushed to the kitchen when they got there, the table is full of food, and the smells are so good they all start drooling.
Arc saw their face and laugh,
"Alright, wash your hands and pick a seat, so we can start eating." Said Arc with a smile
They woke up from their stupor, rushed to the sink, and picked a seat at the table. Anne says a little prayer and started eating.
"Big bro, your cooking is getting godly," said Amy while stuffing her mount with food.
"Yeah," said Anne with an agreeing nod,
"Boss, your food is better than any restaurant I've been through," said Tiffa agreeing
"That's right, boss," said Diana approving
As for Biggs and Wedge, they are busy stuffing their face with food, and the only regret they have is they only have two hands.
Arc laughs at the sight of them eating.
"By the way Anne, Amy, we're moving house tomorrow" Arc drop a bombshell
"eh, what?" Anne and Amy stop eating and look at Arc
Anne and Amy look at him with surprised looks on their faces.
Tiffa and the rest kept quiet, they are not surprised since they already know about it.
They just continue eating, albeit a little slower, even Biggs and Wedge slow down their pace so that Arc can talk to his sister without distraction.
"Why are you guys surprised I already talked about it to you two before" Arc tried to play it down he didn't even stop eating.
"I know, but we didn't think it will be this fast," said Anne still a little shocked
"yeah" reply Amy agreeing
"well, the business is booming we got to take advantage of it so the closer we are to the center of the city the better, besides I want to be closer to mom and dad as soon as possible, that's why I hastened the procedure. I already have everything arranged, we can move there today if you guys are ready" Arc still continue to eat, not even looking at his sister so that they won't find the worried look on his face.
Anne looked at Amy and said, ok, we also want to be closer to Mom and Dad, but what about our things?
"Just bring a few clothes, we'll leave everything behind here beside it's not like we won't be back here again, just leave most of your things here, so we can come back here any time we want." Arc knows his sisters already calm down and accepted it, so he just quietly smiles.
When Anne and Amy heard that, all their worries disappeared because even though they know they were leaving soon, they are reluctant to leave this place, after all, it was their home, and a lot of their memories are attached to this place. So when they heard that they could come back here anytime they want, they were relieved.
"Oh yeah, I plan to fix this place while we're not here, there's a lot of stuff that needs fixing but don't worry about your things I promise it won't be damaged or anything ok" Arc said reassuringly
" ok," said Amy with a smile
"Sure, no problem," Anne gives him a thumbs up
Now that all the serious talk is over, they become noisy again, and they began to joke around again. After dinner, Tiffa and the rest of the girls take care of the aftermath of the battlefield.
As for Arc, Biggs, and Wedge, they were in the living room drinking tea and watching TV.
The next day Diana left early with Biggs, they need to bring the first batch of product to the UQCO to be tested and certified as for Arc and the rest they're moving house. Arc only brought a small bag of clothes, he's leaving the rest here, as for Anne and Amy they brought one big suitcase each.
Arc look at them and said,
"Why bring so many? I told you to only bring minimum clothes, we'll buy everything else there"
Amy and Anne looked at him with a pouting faces and said, "this is a minimum." Tiffa giggles.
Arc can only shake his head and said. "Well, whatever, let's get going"
Wedge carried the suitcase of Anne and Amy he carries them like there were nothing in it, Anne and Amy are used to seeing it, they still remember the first time they saw Wedge lift the sofa with one hand like it's made of a carton they were so surprised, but now they're used to it.
Arc rides in the back, with his sister while wedge is in the driver seat and Tiffa beside him.
A few days ago, Arc asked Biggs and Wedge to fix the security of their old house, and that's including replacing all locks and any potential security breaches. He asks that, as a preparation for when they leave, he doesn't want his home to be burgled when they are gone.
On the way to their new house, Anne and Amy asked all kinds of questions about their new home.
And Arc's answer was? "Find out for your self"
That makes Tiffa giggle and Wedge smile it didn't take long, just an hour or so, and they are already in the parking area of their new home and as they take the elevator Anne and Amy can't keep their mouths shut they're so surprised by everything they see.
They fantasized about all kinds of scenarios, but nothing prepared them for what they saw when they saw the condo unit.
"Ahhhh! Are we living here? Is this really our new home?" Anne and Amy Shouted while running all over the place.
Even Arc was surprised when he saw it. The simple design he chose actually enhanced the elegance of the place. He went to the living room with an excellent view of the surrounding metropolis he was entranced, a few minutes later Tiffa sat beside him and said, "it's not bad right boss?"
"Yeah, not bad indeed, have you guys settled down? Do mind accompanying my sisters to do some shopping for what they need?" Asked Arc
"No problem Boss, what about you?" said Tiffa
"I'll stay here for now and wait for Diana to bring news about our products, and bring Wedge with you," said Arc
"ok, Boss." Tiffa replied
After that, Tiffa stood up, and went to find the girls who are still running around excitedly after a few reminders, they left to do some shopping.
Now Arc is alone in the house, he asks Eve to give suggestions for the next step of the plan.
A few days ago, he asked Eve for an evaluation of the market, so he can decide what new product he needs to introduce into the market,
He knows he can't just simply introduce any item without thinking about it; after all, anything produced by the system is beyond anything the current Earth technology. So he needs to be careful.
Finally, they pick the item they want to produce, and it will be presented in just a few days.
