After taking his shower and putting on his PJs, Hutton came back to the living room and said.
"Although I don't know how you into my house, it's generally good you are here since I wanted to have a serious discussion with you"
"About what boss?" Veronica asked as she put off the TV. After taking a seat and sitting down opposite Veronica, Hutton finally answered...
"I would like you to give me a detailed report about the restaurant"
Based on the memories Hutton got from the previous one, although he was the owner of the restaurant, but he gave Veronica the right to fully manage it which made him to just know a few things about the restaurant.
But unfortunately, this wasn't enough for Hutton to plan on how to take the restaurant to the next level. So what he first needed to do is to know everything about the restaurant from Veronica which he is doing now.
"Can we talk about this after you have eaten. I don't think you have taking dinner" Veronica said with a light smile on her face.
"You don't have to worry about that, I don't feel hungry anyway" Hutton said in a dismissive manner. But as soon as he said that, a sound came out within him.
Right then, an awkward silence reigned all over the living room as both Hutton and Veronica stared at each other. After a few seconds, Veronica finally breaked the silence as she asked...
"Can I get something for you to eat?"
"....Yes..." Hutton said in an embarrassed tone. When Veronica saw this, she secretly chuckled as she got into the kitchen. After a few minutes, she got out with a plate of spaghetti.
"Here, have this" Veronica said as she handed him the plate of spaghetti.
"Thank you" Hutton said as he received the plate of spaghetti. After devouring everything on the plate, he then turned his attention back to the patiently waiting Veronica and said.
"Now that I have taken my dinner, I can you give me the report now?"
"Gladly" Veronica answered as a serious expression suddenly appeared on her face before explaining.
"Currently, due to the suppression of the Thomas family and us going out of business for a while, many of our workers have resigned to the extent that we only have 5 waiters, a security guard and two chefs. Not only that but we are severely lacking in funds for the ingredients of the main dishes not even to talk of the budget we would need to renovate the building"
"Hmm..." After getting a detailed report on the restaurant, Hutton quickly fell deep in thoughts. From the previous Hutton's memories, the main dishes for his restaurant are the crab deluxe, sweetened rice and the one that made the one that made the restaurant famous which is called the 'Heavenly Combo'.
"How much do we currently have?" Hutton asked after being deep in thoughts for a minute.
"Umm... Just 1 thousand bucks" Veronica said with a bitter smile on her charming face.
"We are lacking by this much!?" Hutton hurriedly asked with an astonished expression on his face.
"We have been out of business for almost a month now and we have been paying the remaining workers through our reserved funds" Veronica explained with a helpless expression now on her face.
"Ok I understand what you are trying to say, you don't have to worry. I will think of something before tomorrow" Hutton said as he slowly got up from his chair with a slight frown on his face.
"Ok boss" Veronica said with a worried look on her face as Hutton approached the entrance of his room. But before he got in, he suddenly paused in his tracks.
"Boss, is there something you need?" Veronica asked after she noticed Hutton halting on his steps.
"You should go into the room and get some sleep. I will stay here throughout the night" Hutton suddenly said as he changed his tracks and walked towards a long sofa in the living room.
"Oh no boss! You don't have to do that, I will be fine here" Veronica hurriedly said with a touched expression on her face. But Hutton didn't budge from her reply as he said.
"I'm not taking no for an answer, quickly go in and get some sleep" Latest content publıshed on novｅlfire.net
"Ugh..." Although Veronica was rendered speechless by Hutton, she still quietly got into the room and shut the doors.
"What business do you have here?" As soon as Veronica shut the doors, Hutton said with a calm look on his as he relaxed on the sofa.
"It seems Master Kenneth wasn't mistaken" a voice suddenly rang out in the living room as a silhouette appeared close to a window in the living room.
"Don't doesn't answer my question" Hutton said as he started to slowly lead out his aura. When the silhouette felt this aura, he visibly panicked as he hurriedly said.
"Master Kenneth sent me here to tell you that there is a competition going on in the city among the youths in there 20s and asked if you would like to attend"
"Am not interested, now leave" Hutton calmly said without even looking at the silhouette.
"But he also told me to tell you that the winner of this competition will get a cash prize of 2 million bucks"
"...." Although Hutton wanted to dismiss the silhouette, he quickly paused after he heard the cash prize.
'Looks like he knows what's my biggest problem now' Hutton thought with a wry smile on his face. Right now, Hutton honestly doesn't have any idea on how to get funds for the restaurant quickly and the funds the restaurant currently have couldn't fulfill his plan he has in mind.
During his previous life, due to the long term missions and the roles he took during some mission, Hutton could be compared to 5 star head chef purely in cooking skills. Not only that, but he might even know low cost delicacies more than these chefs.
But unfortunately, the funds the restaurant have could not even cover three meals of these low cost delicacies which made him to pause on his plan for now while he thinks of a way to get quick money.
'Looks like I don't have any other choice but to participate in this contest' Hutton thought with helpless smile on his face.
"Where is this competition going to be held?" Hutton asked after taking a deep breath.
"It's being held at the open fields right next to the Mayor's office" The silhouette said after silently sighing in relief.
"State the day the time" Hutton said as he completely concealed back his aura.
"It will hold tomorrow at 9 am" The silhouette said now in a respectful tone.
"Good. Now that you have relayed your message, you can leave my apartment now" Hutton said after silently taking note of what the silhouette said in his mind.
"Yes sir" The silhouette respectfully said before going out of the window and quickly vanishing. As for Hutton, he was currently looking at his right hand with a bitter smile as he thought.
'I can't believe I almost forgot about this fragile body. I will need to go to the gym before going to that competition'
After saying that in his mind, Hutton quietly rested on the sofa to take some sleep. As early as 7 in the morning, Hutton can already be located at the gym that is the closest to where he lives.
'I think I will start with the basics so that this body can adapt' Hutton thought as he got into the gym. When he got into the gym, he could see a few body builders doing various training in the gym, but Hutton wasn't fazed by them as he calmly walked towards the running mill.
But as soon as he activated the running mill, he heard a commotion at the gym's entrance.
"Oh my G*d, am I dreaming right now?"
"Isn't the Mayor most favored daughter!?"
"What is she doing in a backwater gym ?"
When Hutton heard the gasped of the few people in the gym and saw a great beauty coming towards the running mill next to him, he had an astonished expression on his face as he thought to himself.
'What is the daughter of the Mayor doing in a gym at the outer area of the city!?'
