"That man was really scary. But did you know him?" Sanna remembered Naria mention the guy's name.
"I didn't personally know him, but I had some information on his family" Ember made sure to get an extensive data regarding the important families in Dewe. She never missed out even on small families as long as their influence is pretty significant.
"He's probably from a small family. But do you think he'll retaliate. There's a possibility that he also attends Corvin" worry was still drawn on Sanna's face. Just the thought of that guy's face having an interest in her made her cringe.
"I don't think he will. Although he is also a student of Corvin but based on his personality, after he calmed down, he'll stay away from us. In fact, his family cannot afford to offend any of us" Ember stated.
She's sure she already scared the hell out of the guy. And even if he tried to get revenge, he'll be the one on the losing end.
Both girls eventually calmed down after they heard Ember. They didn't know why but somehow, they felt that they can trust whatever Ember is saying and that they're secure with her.
Eventually they relaxed and chat normally. They didn't try to mention again what happened. Ember was still thinking on how she would accomplish her mission when the waiter involved in the incident approached them.
"I hope you don't mind my intrusion ladies, I'm Henrick Rosse, owner of this establishment. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for mitigating the situation earlier. It's not an everyday occurrence to our store but you just happened to chance upon that on your first visit!" looking at Henrick, he really felt bad about their experience. At the same time, he felt awed every time he think about how the youngest lady in the group handled the incident. The way the lady did it is truly effecient.
"No worries, things like that makes life interesting" Ember smiled faintly. The truth is, even without her intervention, things would still not blown out of hand. But she wanted to test the waters with the nobles of this country; surprisingly, she got more than what she expected. She eyed the owner discreetly.
Henrick chuckled when he heard her response.
"It really does make life interesting. Anyway, to show my gratitude and apology, your bill this time is on us. Let me also present to you my latest creation. It hasn't been launched yet but I'm sure the taste will to your satifaction" With mirth in his eyes, he signalled another waiter to place the dessert plates in their table.
What was presented was an open savoury crepe with caramelized banana bits and jackfruit floss on top.
Others might find the odor of jackfruit a bit offensive but no trace of such can be smelled from the dessert.
The richness of the meat with its salty taste in contrast to the sweetness of the caramelized fruit really fulfills the requirement of her tongue. The citrusy flavor eliminated the greasiness of the meat and the texture of the food is really an enjoyment. One will not feel tired of eating this food even for a long time.
Ember can't help but reevaluate Henrick. Even if it's just for the food, it would be worthwhile to befriend this person.
Seeing the satisfied looks on the ladies, Henrick can't help but feel proud of his creation and relieved that he didn't disappoint them.
A "ping" sounded in Ember's mind while eating.
Cindy: Congratulations on your mission accomplishment! You can now access the storage space.
Ehh!! it can actually be done this way?! She didn't do anything at all and the pie just fell to her lap, hehe.
"Say Cindy, how can I access the storage space?"
Cindy: With a thought.
"That's awesome. Isn't it just like in wuxia novels? Even if this is somehow scientific, but the way you do things really is still supernatural. Could it be that you are a fan of wuxia novels yourself?"
Cindy: You thought too much.
"Heh"
The exchange between her and the system happened in just a moment without anyone noticing.
"I really don't mind going through the same type of ordeal in exchange for this delicious food!" Alyna happily blurted. This girl adapted too well in this situation.
"Big Sis, are you sure you wanted to face a man like Jardin again?" Ember teased.
"Hehe, not really. But owner, this food that you made is so tasteful that this lady will probably crave for everyday. I might die of hunger if I can't eat your food now" Alyna put on an exaggerated face.
"Owner, this food is really good. Thank you" Sanna also fell in love with the food but still managed to keep her bearing and produced a polite but sincere smile.
"Say owner, is it possibe for you to deliver in the academy?" Ember suddenly had a thought.
"That's good idea. Owner can you?" Alyna beamed.
Although Sanna didn't say anything but she also looked at Henrick with an expecting face.
Henrick didn't expect such idea from them. He felt flattered.
"Delivery is not yet a mainstream thing in our country but that is a good way to expand the business. As I have received a good idea from you then please receive this VIP card and you can also call me any time you crave for our foods and desserts. I will exit myself now, please continue with your meal and enjoy the rest of your stay" Henrick handed Ember the card, made a gentleman bow and resumed his business.
Ember kept the card without checking it. The two girls also didn't fuss with the ownership of the card.
"The owner is not a simple person" Sanna commented once Henrick was out of sight.
"Ohh, what made you say that?" Of course Ember knew that the owner is not simple but she wanted to hear why they think so.
"Corvin Academy houses a lot of noble and royalties so it is needless to say that the security is strict. The Academy has layers of security measures and scrutinizes every item that is delivered from the outside to eliminate threat but the owner made it sound so simple to deliver food with just a call. I don't believe that he's not aware of such things" Sanna analyzed.
"Anyone who's able to establish a business in the heart of a city even if it's like this small cafe is surely someone with wide connections" Alyna seconded.
"No matter what the case is we lucked out this time and receivesd a treat" Ember smiled mysteriously and didn't comment further.
