At 7 pm, Theo's restaurant was fully operational with a lot of people enjoying their food and the ambient of the restaurant.
It was at that time that 3 people arrived at the door of the restaurant.
"It seems like young Theo has great taste." Ezume said as he looked at the building.
Grandpa Takeo didn't say anything, but he looked with an approving smile towards the building.
Hazel looked with shining eyes as she thought that maybe she would be surprised today.
The three of them had very high standards and often frequented renowned restaurants so they had the expertise to judge a refined restaurant.
They entered the building and went to the greeter table.
"Goodnight, I am Yamada Ezume, and this is Yamada Takeo and Theo invited us for the opening." Ezume said with a smile.
"Wait a moment." the greeter said as he looked at the list of invitations.
"Here, I found it. Mr. Yamada, Chef Theo told us to ask you if you want a private room or a table at the salon." the greeter said with a smile as he told an employee to tell that a guest has arrived.
"How about we take a table at the salon? I want to see the other people and their reactions." Hazel asked the two men.
"If you want it, my dear daughter, I am okay with it." Grandpa Takeo said dotingly to hazel.
"I am okay with it." Ezume said with a smile.
Normally, the two men preferred a private room, but they would do anything for Hazel.
"We will take a table at the salon." Ezume said to the greeter.
"Great, if you guys follow our employee, she will take you to your table." the greeter smiled.
They followed the girl, and like every client who saw for the first time the salon, their breath was taken away by such a scene.
Even their experienced eyes never saw something like this before.
Hazel's eyes were tranced by such a beautiful scene.
The girl employee who was used to such a scene with new clients, waited for them to wake up from the scene.
When the three of them noticed that they stopped and that the girl was waiting for them, they were embarrassed. This never happened before to any of them.
They arrived at their table and a waiter arrived with the menu.
They observed the menu and noticed that most of the dishes were unknown to them.
"What are these dishes?" Hazel asked as she looked at the menu.
"Miss, most of the dishes of the menus are original recipes of our Head Chef." the waiter said.
"Oh I see. I want this Red Menu then." Hazel said.
"I want the Ocean Menu." Ezume said. He had craving for seafood after hearing the stories of the sea that his wife told.
"I don't want something too strong, so give me the Vegetarian Menu." Grandpa Takeo said to the waiter.
They also ordered a bottle of wine and the waiter left.
"This is so beautiful. I never saw such a beautiful restaurant!" Hazel exclaimed.
"Indeed, this a first-class restaurant just by the looks." Ezume said.
Grandpa Takeo didn't say anything, but he looked around with shining eyes.
While they were talking, a person walked from the back of the restaurant.
He wasn't a waiter or any other salon staff.
He exuded confidence with the way he walked.
He was dressed in black-colored chef clothing that made his body look even more perfect. His silver hair that was tied as with a ponytail made him look like a casual person. And his silver eyes shined as he looked at the clients enjoying the food.
Theo was the center of attention as soon he entered the salon. He looked like a male model. But when the people saw what was written on his jacket, they were shocked.
'Chef Theodore'
They never thought this male god was the chef of the restaurant.
The females that were present started to become squirmy as they thought how this handsome man was the one making the delicious food they were eating.
The three people who were talking at their table noticed a commotion at the other tables who were looking at a particular side of the room.
They looked towards it and Ezume and grandpa Takeo instantly recognized Theo.
Hazel also was surprised that such a handsome boy existed.
"Grandpa Takeo, Ezume-san what a pleasure it is to have you in my restaurant." Theo said with a brilliant smile when he arrived at their table.
"Haha it is our pleasure to visit such a beautiful restaurant, my young boy." Grandpa Takeo laughed.
"Yes yes" Ezume said with a smile too.
Hazel was surprised as she didn't know they were so familiar with each other.
"Apologies for the late introduction. I am the Head Chef Theodore of The Spark Restaurant, but you can call me Theo." Theo said to Hazel with a smile as he extended his hand to handshake.
"Nothing to apologize. My name is Hazel Lionheart and Ezume is my husband." Hazel said as she shook his hand.
"Yes, this my wife." Ezume said with a proud smile.
"I see you guys make a great couple." Theo smiled.
"Did you guys make an order?" Theo asked.
"Yes, I hope it is as tasty as it sounds." Grandpa Takeo laughed.
"I am sure it will be." Theo smiled.
They talked for a few more minutes until Theo excused himself to go back to the kitchen.
As he went away, the girls who were in a trance when he smiled at the Yamada's table, woke up from their dreams.
'So handsome...' they all thought.
"He is such refined young man." Hazel commented.
"Yeah, I had the same impression when I met him for the first time." Ezume said.
They talked for a few more minutes when the appetizers arrived. And even though they had experienced multiple refined restaurants around the world.
They never experienced such an innovative and delicious meal. And that continued as the other dishes arrived with the main dish and dessert.
They were so focused on the plates that they didn't even notice when Theo came back to the salon to greet Sam and the employees of Umbrella Company and Sayuri and the employees of the Fuji Company.
"Sam, how is it? Do you like it?" Theo smiled at her.
"Boss, it is so beautiful. I guess all your work was worth it." Sam smiled too.
She knew that Theo spent days designing and experimenting on dishes in his office as she often went there to deliver reports of the company.
"Yes, it definitely was worth it. And by the way, today is my treat to all of you." he smiled and talked with the other employees of the Umbrella Company.
"Sayuri, today is my treat. I know all of you have been working hard with the projects I assigned so enjoy it." Theo said to Sayuri and the rest of the Fuji Company employees.
All the employees of the two companies celebrated their boss as they enjoyed the delicious food served.
