Showbiz 38-Secret Garden

Tedo drove Lux and his friends to the promised place with a luxury car like a limousine. During the ride, they discussed the incident in the dining room earlier.

"Oh my God, I was so scared. I know that your relationship with the mayor is not good, but... I really didn't expect it to be like that. He is very hard on you, Lux," said Senia still looking tense.

"Don't spread this to anyone. Actually, I don't want to fight him, but every time I see Heidi and Serena, I feel like eating them," Lux replied irritably.

"Your relationship with your older sisters is not good, Lux. We have known that for a long time. Therefore, when we saw the two of them, I expected something like this to happen," said Enzo, surprising Gian.

"However, you're great for standing up to them. I forgot to breathe because of your conversation. I was scared, but happy when you managed to keep them quiet. You are indeed a brave man, Lux," said Apollo which made Gian smile.

"Alright, just forget about what happened earlier. You guys already know, so there's no need to spread it. OK?" asked Lux with his signature style.

"OK!" replied Senia and Thalia with their coquettish style.

Enzo chuckled because for him, that style was not cool at all. Meanwhile, Apollo and Rocco, tried to imitate that style to look cool like Lux. Until suddenly, Senia pointed at the window and screeched. Practically, Lux and the others immediately turned their heads towards the window.

"It's him! Oh my God, I idolize that guy so much!" squealed Senia hysterically like Lux's fans when they met him.

"Eh, he's right...," muttered Lux as he recognized the guy.

"Who is he?" asked Enzo curiously.

"He's one of the legendary fashion designers. When he was just a dozen years old, he was already getting awards for his work because it was considered the most phenomenal. His style of clothing is worn almost all over the world!" Senia explained.

"Really? But... he looks like an ordinary person. Maybe a look-alike, but not really him. If he was that famous, he would have been guarded by many bodyguards. But, look. That person is walking alone and doesn't have the aura of an artist," Rocco said, which Enzo confirmed.

"But... I'm pretty sure it's Mr. Serevan Yogez," Senia replied listlessly and sat down with a frown.

'I wonder, is what Senia said true? I'll prove it later,' Gian thought as he watched Senia's face closely.

"We've arrived, ladies and gentlemen," said Tedo who was greeted with a big smile by everyone.

"Wow, what is this place? I've never been here before," asked Apollo with a sparkling face.

"If so, great. Let's go," Tedo invited, to which everyone nodded.

Gian looked amazed at the restaurant. From the outside, the walls were covered with vines. However, many cars were parked outside. There was no signboard indicating that it was a restaurant. There was only one wooden entrance.

As they walked inside, they saw a large courtyard with green grass that had been trimmed. Around it, beautiful flowers grew that were a feast for the eyes. Several fishponds with artificial waterfalls made the restaurant look beautiful.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" exclaimed Thalia when she saw many tree houses that had been filled by customers.

"Look at that!" exclaimed Rocco pointing.

Lux and his friends saw how to deliver food to the top of the tree house using a pulley like drawing water in the old days. Similarly, when the food runs out, a board has been provided. Customers at the top will lower it using a pulley.

If customers want to order food, they can simply place an order on the tablet provided. When customers need help, they ring a bell that is loud enough to be heard. The waiter will come and use the phone connected to the tree house up there.

A wooden ladder is provided for those who want to climb up. It is also interesting to see that when customers are finished, they descend using a rope like they are playing flying fox.

"Unique. Who owns this restaurant?" asked Enzo in awe.

However, Tedo didn't answer and just smiled. "Oh, it seems that our dining place has been reserved. Come," Tedo invited which was followed by Lux and his friends.

"Welcome, Young master Lux. We have prepared a place for you and your friends," said a beautiful woman who looked like a tree fairy.

"Did you see her outfit? Unique," whispered Senia who was nodded by her friends.

"Are we going to cross by boat?" asked Apollo surprised when their steps stopped because there was a river with rowboats waiting on the bank.

"Yes, you're right, Young Master Apollo. Unfortunately, the tree house is full so we're giving you a place in the water park. It's no less beautiful. Please, the boat is ready to take you," said the elf-clad servant.

Senia and the others were careful when boarding the boat. A man rowed the boat carefully along the winding river until they came to a large pond. There are several huts on the surface of the pond and a rope bridge connecting the huts.

"Wahhh ...." Rocco couldn't hide his amazement until his head looked up.

The boat docked under one of the hut houses whose legs were quite high. A waiter in a white tuxedo invited his guests to climb up the wooden stairs to the hut house that had been reserved.

"Please," said the waiter as he showed the hut house that would be used by Lux and his friends.

"It's so spacious!" exclaimed Thalia happily as she entered the house with wooden plank floors.

"Tedo will help you all to place your orders. Excuse me. Enjoy the beauty of the Secret Garden with the uniqueness of our restaurant. Good afternoon."

"Thank you," Lux said to which the man nodded.

"I've never been here before. Is this place new?" asked Enzo curiously as he walked towards the wooden window.

"It's old, but it's been remodeled to make it more attractive. So, what would you like to order, ladies and gentlemen?" asked Tedo politely as he showed the restaurant's menu on a tablet set up on a wooden table.

"Order everything! I'm really curious about the food in this restaurant," Lux answered which made Senia and the others stunned.

"Will we be able to finish it all?" asked Apollo anxiously as he rubbed his flat stomach.

"We can take the rest home," Lux answered which made people's frowns.

"Do you often do that? Bringing leftovers home?" asked Enzo squinting.

Lux smiled. "It would be a pity if delicious food is thrown away. We will wrap the uneaten food. So, the food is still fit for consumption. If you guys don't want it, it's just me. I can give those foods to people in need," Lux replied casually, but his words made his friends look at each other.

"You mean... giving it to the poor?" asked Rocco reassuringly.

"Yes. Tedo must know who those people are. Right, Tedo?" asked Lux looking at the butler of the Osiris residence.

"Yes. I know the right place to deliver those foods, Young master Lux," Tedo replied calmly.

"Good. So, let's order everything! If this place is so good, the food must be delicious too," Lux said excitedly.

"Yes, Young master," replied Tedo who then placed the order on the tablet that had been provided.

"This place is very cozy. I can feel at home in this hut," said Senia as she rested her body on a large crescent-shaped pillow.

"Yes, there is even paper, stationery, drawing tools, table lamps, tables and chairs. It looks like it's deliberately provided for studying or working," said Thalia, who was sitting in a wooden chair with a table filled with writing utensils.

"You guys are right. The concept offered is unique and interesting. What is this place, Tedo?" Lux asked curiously.
