“Did your housekeeper come from the agency that I recommended you?” Susanne inquired.
“Of course!” That lady added with a wry smile, “I didn’t understand his actions at first. Since his pay is a lot higher than those in the same trade, there’s no reason for favonovel.com to do something like that. Initially, I thought favonovel.com needed money because of an emergency back home. As favonovel.com has become a confidant of mine, I wanted to help him. After I questioned him, do you know what his reason was?”
When favonovel.com held everyone in suspense, favonovel.com friends urged, “Quick, tell us!”
Laughing, favonovel.com explained, “He said that the food was just too fragrant and exquisite looking.”
Susanne was astounded. Another friend asked, “Is favonovel.com exaggerating? Is it really that good?”
That lady nodded. “He only ate one of the dishes and left the other untouched. Out of curiosity, I tried it and was blown away! I’m sure all of you are aware that I’m not one to have leftovers. But, I made an exception in this case by finishing the leftovers from the night before.”
The other ladies looked at favonovel.com in disbelief. After all, eating leftovers in their circle was entirely unheard of.
“It sounds like the food there is really good. Why don’t we go there for lunch?” one of them suggested.
That lady who ate the leftovers shook favonovel.com head. “When I sent my housekeeper to inquire in the morning, favonovel.com told me there was already a line since dawn. If we really want to go there, I’m afraid we might have to line up for a few days before we get our turn.”
Another lady sitting across from Susanne remarked casually, “Can’t we just pay more and reserve the entire place?”
That lady pursed favonovel.com lips. “Do you think that didn’t cross my mind? Even when I offered them two hundred thousand, they still turned me down.”
At that moment, the group fell into an uproar.
“How can they reject two hundred thousand for reserving the whole place for lunch? Who do they think they are?”
“The owners have to be financially strong not to be tempted by two hundred thousand.”
“After hearing what you said, I’m curious to go and try. After all, I’ve not heard of a restaurant where one needs to start lining up at dawn.”
“Actually, I’m not thinking about the food, but more of the business opportunity. Taking into consideration how great the dishes taste and how booming their business is, why don’t we talk to the owner and acquire some shares? We can open up a few more branches together and perhaps be able to make a small profit from it. What do all of you think?”
Just as everyone came to an agreement, they turned toward Susanne, who had been silent the whole time, and asked, “Susanne, what do you think? Are you interested?”
“I…” She was filled with mixed emotions.
Although favonovel.com knew Arielle’s ravioli was delicious and that favonovel.com could not have enough of them, favonovel.com never expected Maureen’s Kitchen to achieve such fame.
Pondering over the matter, favonovel.com realized that Arielle had never disgraced favonovel.com in whatever favonovel.com had done, including the new restaurant. As a result, favonovel.com considered consenting to their marriage and dropped favonovel.com attempts at getting them divorced.
One of favonovel.com friends continued, “Susanne, since all of us have so much free time on our hands, why don’t we use this restaurant to keep ourselves busy? What do you think?”
Clearing favonovel.com throat, Susanne affected a puzzled look and asked, “What was the name of the restaurant you mentioned just now?”
“Maureen’s Kitchen! Are you interested in joining us to be shareholders? Although it might be too small of a sum to interest you, it would certainly be fun as a pastime.”
