Find Me in 1000 Years

Ramires Restaurant

"I'll give you two days to think about it. The day after we meet at nine to see the results." The rich man ended the conversation. Ken then went home.

Days change. After meetings and several meetings, the name of the new food is then collected and made. Ramires then tasted it, after which it was decided the name of the new food to be included in the menu.

One of the new foods chosen is Ken's food. That means he'll be one of the cooks at the restaurant. Of course the old clerks looked envious of Ken, because they knew it would take a long time to become a cook and Ken jumped at him.

The restaurant reopened with an opening party. Ramires, who knew the Japanese man's risky position, eventually took an outside chef to become the head cook there. He introduces the Chef to his colleague at the restaurant's opening party, but still, Ken is bullied for being considered up for being close to Ramires.

"Ken, someone ordered two chicken steaks" Chef Romero said.

"Oh, well, Chef." Ken then prepares his cooking.

"Jeans and Louis, one each?"

"Okay, Chef." Both answered simultaneously.

His busy life as a cook, made the Japanese man no longer think about how fellow cooks do not care about him. He just focused on cooking, and thought about what else he wanted to do after this.

"Ken, the customer's looking for you." A waiter delivering the Japanese man's food came back in a hurry.

Everyone who was in the kitchen glanced at the waiter. There were even those who looked at each other and smiled, hoping for the man to fall.

"What's wrong? Is the food in trouble?" Ken looks worried.

The lady's servant shook his head. "I don't know.

"Let me ask," said Chef Romero, taking off his apron.

The waiter returned. "She asked to see Ken. He mentioned your name, Ken." Describes.

Ken's surprised. "He knows me?" He immediately opened his apron. "Who? A female? A male?"

"Women but I don't know."

The Japanese man then stepped out of the kitchen. He thought it might be Min Shi or Irene, his co-workers at the restaurant first, but he did not find them at the diner. He kept looking until he saw a girl waving at him.

Ken still couldn't believe the girl was waving at him so he looked for someone else behind him. But there is only one himself. The man then pointed at himself and was taken in by the girl.

Really, he did not know who the beautiful girl was until he approached the girl. Looking at the food on the table, it was indeed the girl who ordered it. Strangely he ordered two portions when he was alone.

"Sorry, is Miss looking for me?" ask Ken to be polite.

"Eh, yes. Don't you remember me?"

Ken examined the girl's face and he didn't remember it. "Sorry, Miss. Is Miss not wrong?"

"You're Ken, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"That makes this chicken steak, right?"

"How did Miss know?"

"I'm Mr. Ramires' son."

Ken rounded his eyes in surprise and nodded his head apologizing. "Oh, sorry, Miss. Excuse me. I don't know."

"Aren't you ever looking at me?"

Ken tried to remember. "I just seem to see you ride but I don't see your face." He rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry."

"It's okay. 'Now you know."

"Eh, yes, Miss. What's up, huh?" The man saw the girl had not touched her food.

"Eh, can you sit down first?"

A little confused, Ken passed the girl's request. "Eh, yes."

"Eh, I actually really like the chicken steak you made. You're good at cooking like that." The girl praised Ken's cooking.

"Eh, thank you, Miss."

"What?" Ken looks confused. "Eh, sorry, Miss. I'm still working."

"Just a moment .. Just time can't," the girl asked again. He began to snort at the man. Her thin face and beautiful eyeballs left Ken confused as to Millea's intentions and purpose in coming there.

He was also confused about how to reject it because the girl was the son of Ramires. Finally, the man moved his hand to touch the knife and fork beside the dinner plate. The girl looked happy, but ....

"Millea? What the hell are you here for?"

Both looking. The girl looked confused and panicked. Ken was also confused.

"D-dad?" said the girl.

Ramires looked at the two.

"I-I'm just a prank, Dad. I heard Dad opened a new restaurant, so I tried to come here. I want to eat the chicken steak, Dad. Didn't I ever try?" Millea showed a row of clean teeth, trying to smile.

The rich man looked back at the two. Ken looks not wrinkled because he does not know what to say, while the girl is looking for a way how to escape from the place. He did not expect his father would come to that place, given his busyness.

"Where do you know this place?"

His father's question is enough to confuse the girl and trap her. He was caught finding out the place even though his father never talked about the problem of work at home.

Ramires glanced at Ken. It seems he knows what's going on.

"How about chicken steak?" said someone beside sounded like ordering food.

The rich man looked at the Japanese man. "You seem to have a buyer."

Ken knew immediately and got out of the chair. "Eh, yes, sir." He's coming to the kitchen right away.

Ramires then replaced Ken sitting there. He glanced at his beautiful daughter. "Are you waiting for me? I also want to eat this chicken steak for lunch" he said.

"Eh, yes, Dad." The girl was finally able to relieve her heart that had been pounding.

Suddenly ... "You lied, huh? Do you have a crush on him?" The man pointed in which direction Ken was going.

The girl only scowled because Ramires could guess it, but from the motion of her eyes it was seen once that she confirmed.

Ramires touched the little nose of his daughter. "Mmh, playgirl. Cedric want you to kill him?"

"Cedric is boring" said Millea disparagingly.

"Then you can't get close to Ken. He's the serious type."

"I'm serious!" The girl was convincing.

"You are unfaithful" said Ramires with a smile. He started cutting his chicken.

"Father ...," whine Millea.

"No. Go with Cedric first or finish it. Don't add any new problems, playgirl!" The rich man had his son's nose back.

"Dad ...," whined the girl back.

The familiarity of the father and son was obvious because Millea could tell her father anything. Ramires is the type of man who wants to listen to the complaints of his children and his wife on the sidelines of busyness, so that the family is always close to him.

----------+++-----------

In the afternoon, the restaurant was a little quiet. The area was an office area so crowded at lunchtime, but after that it was quiet. There were only people relaxing the afternoon who came to the restaurant. Ken took a long walk around the restaurant.

While looking at what offices were there, he stood in front of the headquarters of a bank. Mmh, it seems like I can melt the gold coins and keep them here.

Suddenly there was a commotion. Ken sees a poor old woman being surrounded by thugs. The old beggar was bullied even the wagon he was carrying was toyed with.

The Japanese man certainly did not have the heart to go to the thugs. "Hey, you guys aren't shy about playing with old grannies like that!" annoyed screams.
