Unbeatable Chef Xenon
Chapter 37
"What's wrong babe, let them have access to the camera," Enzo told Natalia when he noticed her sudden discomfort, and at that moment a customer walked in.
He didn't look like an ordinary customer as everyone bowed their head down in respect to his presence and Xenon gasped at him.
What was he doing here?
"Oh my Goodness, Mr Vlad how can we help? Should we order anything for you?" Enzo asked the man whose gaze was only fixed on Xenon and he smiled.
"Don't fret Mr Enzo, I only came to see Xenon." He told Enzo who sneered in shock and disgust. He wondered what sort of relationship they had for him to come from the hospital.
"Oh…" that was the only thing that left his lips and he felt so embarrassed not to say a word as he was watching Everyone and waiting for Xenon who was still in the middle of their little argument.
"Xenon here would be arrested for the unprofessional act he caused. I'm afraid your meeting with him might be postponed.." He said and Xenon flared up.
"Can you tell your wife or the new boss to show the the CCTV camera, I need to watch how a large bone miraculously crawled his way into the food I had single-handedly prepared?" He spat out and everyone became quiet, all attention was now focused on Natalia who was now fidgeting.
"I think that it's rude to keep Mr Vlad waiting, can you guys come over some other time, we'll present the evidence by then. We need to serve our customers first." She told the policeman who looked disappointed at their wasted time and effort but for the respect they had for these two powerful men, they swallowed their anger and nodded.
"Alright ma'am, if you say so." They told her and walked out and Enzo had never felt embarrassed, Xenon knew she was hiding something and he was going to find out as this wouldn't be the end. She had successfully made the president choke out blood and even if she didn't arrest him, the media or Presidential team might come for him later.
"Meet with Mr Vlad and don't keep him waiting.."
Enzo told him and left with his wife and other colleagues went back to their respective work.
"Is there a problem Mr Vlad?" Xenon asked the man as he made him sit.
"No, I'm just hungry…"
This made Xenon chuckle and he thought the old man was cracking jokes
"Then you would have eaten at home instead of-"
"Cook for me Xenon, I want to eat your meal instead, again. I missed it." He said desperately and Xenon frowned.
"Okay? Do you want it Here?"
He asked and he shook his head, "I'll eat at the new restaurant. Just prepare and come over, and I'll ask Enzo to let you go." he took Xenon who found his request so weird, he wondered why he suddenly wanted to eat from him.
"Don't worry about that, I'll come over and get you something."
"Alright, see you."
The man told Xenon whose head was now swirled in thoughts as he watched him leave. He turned to check on Natalia but she wasn't there and headed back to the kitchen.
The loud buzz of gossiping about him and his incompetence was hot.
"I pity the poor boy, he's too greedy and careless. A simple 'no' from Miss Natalia could have saved him the trouble but he still wanted to show off and did the formidable."
One of the apprentices who had known Xenon for a long time said and Lucas snorted.
"That serves him right, I wonder what Rossetti was seeing in the good-for-nothing to be suddenly scared like a cockroach each time she sees him." He said and the rest burst out in laughter.
"I think he's put bone somewhere in her throat too, can't you all see that she's not willing to say anything?" The announcer on the first day of Enzo's wedding added that she was now hired as one of the workers.
"That's enough you all, I know Xenon is useless but I think it's an insult to rub it on my face."
"But you're acting like–"
Luca swallowed his word at the sight of Xenon and the whole place became quiet Instantly.
They were not expecting to see him since the police were here to take him.
Without saying a word, Xenon's eyes landed on Aliya who instantly shrieked at his presence and dropped the dish she was cleaning.
"Oh my goodness! Are you still here? I was so worried and I thought something bad was going to happen."
Xenon took a few bold steps to meet her and ignored the prying eyes of the person him, the room was quiet and every heave of breath they all too were in anticipation of what he was going to do next as his countenance looked extremely angry.
"Tell me, Aliya." He growled at her.."Who sent you?"
Aliya swallowed nervously and stuttered.
"I…d.. don't know what you.. you're talking about."
"Really? You think I don't know that you did that? The bone fixing in my meal to please Natalia, you deliberately came with a façade to help when you had your mission."
"Xenon, what -"
"You all are just worse, you're all the same with some silly, shabby, and disgusting attitude. If she promised you money, you could have just said it and it would have saved me the humiliation I just received!"
"Xenon.."
"It's okay, I've learned my lesson, and don't you ever in your life cross paths with me again. I'm trying to do too much shit, you don't want to be a Victim of what I can do to you!" He spat out harshly on the lady who had hot tears rolling down her face.
"You talk as if you have anything to give to her if she was offered money, if I were to be in her shoes, I would do whatever you think she did for free Xenon, you're so wacky and tackless but you're still here. You should be out for the qualified one to be here." Rosetti fired at him and Xenon's anger flared and he forgot that he was among humans who had not seen such strange eyes before in reality.
His eyes blazed green as he stared at her, "You have just thirty Minutes to report yourself to Lucas and Natalia for what you did to them."
Her eyes bulged out like sockets and she shook her head repeatedly as if she was being controlled.
"You're saying nonsense Xenon!" She screamed. "I did nothing wrong to them and I won't report myself either, stop forcing me!" She cried out as if she was struggling with something but Xenon left her and everyone in heavy confusion.
Thirty minutes late, Rossetti found herself going to meet Natalia.
