"Boss!" Suddenly the office room door opened. An asian woman, who is not very tall, has chubby cheeks then gets into it. She is Lin.
She stopped in her tracks when she saw Amanda and Arthur sitting on the couch. She had heard news about Arthur here, but seeing him with Amanda in her office, she couldn't help but think something strange and suspicious.
Amanda looked at her, she asked, "is there something?"
Asked by Amanda, Lin continued on her way. She replied, "boss, Vera University has suddenly increased their demand..."
Lin had not finished her words when Amanda suddenly raised her hand to stop her. "No need to continue, tell them that we will not work with them anymore. Break all contracts and pay the compensation."
"What?" Lin's eyes widened in surprise.
"Boss, are you sure?" Kaiya, who had just entered there, also asked.
"Don't ask anything just yet, come back!" Amanda waved her hand and added, "tell the directors that we are changing the business plan, wait until I contact them."
Kaiya and Lin looked at each other with their mouths open, they still wanted to ask but Amanda's orders made them have to hold back.
In the end, they glanced at Arthur suspiciously before exiting the room.
As soon as the door closed, Amanda said, "let's talk about other products so I can setup things like the production machine. And if possible, please make me an example."
"Sure, let's start with coffee." Arthur stood up, walked over to the next table where there was a coffee machine on it. There are also several packets of coffee beans, milk, sugar, and fruits.
"Isn't coffee too common?" Amanda asked as she followed him.
"The coffee I make, if it sells cheaply, people won't buy any other coffee anymore," Arthur replied.
"Oh, how about that compared to civet coffee?"
"Don't compare my work to something out of a weasel's ass, of course my coffee is much better." Arthur shook his head, belittling Amanda's ignorance.
The latter pouting slightly, she replied, "okay, let's see how good it is! By the way, do you need any additional ingredients?"
"This is enough!" Arthur refuses.
The first thing he picked up was a bright looking lemon, he sliced it open in a swift motion with his finger, making the aroma emit suddenly.
"Arthur, you will be making coffee, not juice." Amanda quickly knit her brows.
However, Arthur ignored her. He squeezed the lemon juice, and put it in the cup. His skillful movement made Amanda who still wanted to talk finally cancel her intention.
After the lemon, Arthur took the grapes. This time, he said, "the point is measure, when the measure is right, the taste can be very different or even produce a new taste."
He then poured some milk before placing the cup under the coffee machine's faucet.
"Of course, this is just one recipe, later I will give you ten recipes of different types."
A few moments later, the coffee he made was finally ready.
To Amanda's surprise, the coffee suddenly emitted quite a bit of smoke, like when butter is placed on a hot grill.
However, compared to how the smoke appeared, she was more attracted by its sweet fragrance, giving her a refreshing sensation instantly.
Arthur chilled the coffee slightly with ice magic so it was easy to drink and then handed it to Amanda.
"Please try it," he said.
Amanda immediately took it, and slowly, brought it to her mouth.
The first thing she did was inhale the scent, it made her eyes close spontaneously. Then, she stuck out her long, sexy tongue.
"Mm..." Her expression seemed to change when her tongue touched the coffee. Her eyes looked pensive, as if she had fallen into a certain situation.
"I can't believe this," she said before starting to drink it.
The way she drank was quite calm, but after one gulp, her mouth made a slurping sound.
After that, she pushed the cup higher so that more of the coffee flowed into her mouth.
In less than a minute, she finished the entire coffee.
"Ahhh..." She sighed softly, taking a tissue to wipe her lips.
"What do you think?" asked Arthur.
Amanda looked at him again, her eyes shining as if a fire had been lit in them.
"What is the name of this coffee?" She asked.
"You can name it yourself," Arthur replied.
"Well, I think I need some time to think about it. However, keeping the recipe safe may be more difficult than I expected."
Amanda paused to put down the cup in her hand before continuing, "I suggest you recruit some skilled people to keep our factory safe later."
"Do you have any good recommendations?"
"Sure." she smiled. "I know a few former special forces soldiers who occasionally work as mercenaries. I once tried to recruit them and offered very high wages, but they refused, I'm sure you can convince them."
Judging from her expression, it seemed that she was holding a grudge for being rejected and wanted him to avenge her. Perhaps she was rejected with contempt.
"They shouldn't live in Vera City, right?" asked Arthur.
Such people when not operating usually live in a rather disorderly city, full of dark things. The city of Vera may not be completely clean, but it is far from dark.
"They live on the island of Sicily, occasionally crossing over to Libya, Israel, Syria, even Iraq if they get a mission," Amanda answered.
"Sicily?" When hearing about the island, Arthur couldn't help but think about the mafia, the place where the name first came from.
He said "I've been interested in that place for a long time, I hear there are murder cases every day, when can you accompany me there?"
He thought he might find something interesting there, however, there is a lot of mafia, which means a lot of black business. Rumor has it that most of the ancient artefacts that made their way to Europe came through the island.
