Find Me in 1000 Years

Question

Of course Lucas remembered his mistake several times which often made the man nag and Balto defended him by letting the man go without paying a penny.

The man stared intently at Balto. This time he had other thoughts after trying to eat at that restaurant. He folded his hands on his chest while leaning against the man. "I've been suspicious for a long time but you're still denying it. You never cook for me, do you? I can feel and feel because different hands taste different."

"Mr Ramires, I always uniform my cooking with my men. It must feel the same."

The man smiled broadly. "I know, chefs of your caliber are unlikely to slip over unripe or raw cooks. Didn't I ask from the beginning, you're the cook, but you seem to hide your skills and always tell others to cook them. Why don't you always listen to my requests, Chef Balto?"

Balto smiled thinly. He knew the man in front of him was very rich, and dared to pay the expensive staff he liked and he would not stop until he got the officer. That is why he never cooked whole. Sometimes there are ingredients cooked by others or he cooks ingredients to be cooked by others such as broth sauce for example.

After a long time of hiding this, he finally admitted it. That's because, Ken's broth is different and hard for me to own. "This is the hallmark of my restaurant. Working with a team."

"Mmh, you finally confessed too. I've tried this food." He encourages eating that has been cooked with Ken's broth. "You have a new employee? Because it's impossible for you to cook like this."

"This is my cooking."

The man scrunched his forehead. "But the fuel is different. Who's concocting it?"

The middle-aged Chef bule straightened his head. "It's a company secret. Surely this can't be spread. Are you not satisfied with that?"

The dapper-clothed man took out something from his shirt pocket. A business card. "Please give this to your new employee and oh yes, your old employee who often cooks food for me, you'd better fire it. He's not even talented at cooking at all."

Balto took the card and tore it to a small cut in front of the Latin American man. "I or my employees won't want to join you, so you'll have to think 100 times before filing this with us again."

Mr. Ramires just looked at it, he didn't seem to care. "Ok, I'll be back later. Please bill."

Balto's back in the kitchen. "Irene, she wants to pay" he said, then to Irene.

"What?" The waiter was surprised.

Ken also gawked along with other employees.

"What's the truth, sir?" ask Irene again. He rubbed his hair beside his ears to ensure his hearing.

The middle-aged man flipped his body. "Yes, hurry. He's waiting for the bill!" emphatically.

The reddish-brown woman looked for the order paper she had written in order to make the bill. After that he rushed out. Lucas is back.

"Come, Ken. We take a short walk outside while drinking," Min Shi persuaded by wrapping his hand around the sturdy arm of the Japanese man.

"Ah, I don't want to drink. Tomorrow we have to work. I don't want to work in such a less fit state." Ken tried to avoid.

"It's a night of familiarity. Everyone's coming along. Look, Irene and Lucas are coming too, you didn't?"

Dead-end evasion. The Japanese man did not know what to say. "Can't it be next time? I don't want to go this time," she pleaded.

Min Shi laughed out. "Aren't you lucky this time? Lots of people try your broth and they love it. Why don't we just celebrate this time with drinks at the bar? Coincidentally we are also used to work and want to chat for a while to be closer to fellow coworkers. How's it?"

"But ...." Ken was still looking for reproach to dodge but Min Shi had pulled his hand to leave immediately.

"Come ... Don't be so stiff as a man. Lucas will give you the keys, so don't be afraid if you come home late."

"Yes, this." The bule man immediately gave Ken the key in his hand so that he would come along. This was indeed all his ideas for the Japanese man to go to the bar with them.

Arriving at the bar, they find a place in a corner that is not crowded. Ken flanked Min Shi and Lucas. While Irene ordered a drink, the Chinese woman invited Ken to talk. "Ken, where do you live?"

"Eh, I'm staying above the restaurant" replied the Japanese man.

The woman laughed while shaking her head. His ponytail hair was freely flicked to and fro following the direction of his head. "That's not what I mean .. Where are you?"

"Far away," Ken replied briefly. He no longer knows how to answer.

"Oh, you live in Japan? But your French is very fluent."

"Thank you."

The beer immediately came with a snack on a plate served on the table. Just as Ken wanted to grab a snack, Lucas distanced the food and pushed the beer towards him.

"Woman is chatty. You'd better drink a lot to answer the question" whispered the bule man.

The Japanese man looked at him with a confused face.

"Eh, do you have a brother or sister?" The woman asked Ken. Apparently Min Shi was interested in Ken, and it wasn't just a joke.

"Oh, I'm an only child."

"really? Oh, well worth it," murmured the woman.

"What?"

"Lack of getting along."

"Times?"

"Eh, like." Min Shi was surprised the Japanese man was interested in his original remark.

"I don't think I'm."

"But at work you are so much."

Back Ken didn't know what to answer. He is indeed under severe stress and by working, the stress is gradually reduced. That was why he focused on working, but he could not tell this to Min Shi. Soon he brought the beer closer to his mouth and started drinking it. It feels fresh in the mouth even though it tastes bad.

"Eh ...." He rubbed the mouth of the beer foam and took the chips on the plate and ate them.

"When we go, yuk! Both, to the city center. Restaurant on Monday."

Ken poked the tip of his lips up. As Lucas said, the woman did not stop talking so the man was forced to drink more beer because he was lazy to answer his chatter. Irene occasionally chatted to Lucas but the two looked funny at the couple Min Shi and Ken.

Lucas knows, Min Shi really likes the Japanese man, therefore he gives Ken the key so that the woman can sleep with Ken. It seemed like it was just a matter of time because the Asian man had started getting drunk. Ken started to fall asleep on the table.

"You can drive Ken, right, Min Shi? I'll take Irene home."

"Eh, but it's not too late yet" Irene protested. "I haven't spent the beer yet." He looked towards his beer which had only half finished. Ken spent 2 big glasses of beer one of them got from Lucas.

"How about we go to karaoke? You want to not?" talk that bule guy to Irene.
