Chapter 15

On Sunday morning, Rio started his day with a rigorous workout session, pushing his body to its limits and breaking a sweat. The exercise helped him feel energized and ready to tackle the day ahead. After his workout, he headed to the bathroom to freshen up, taking a refreshing shower to cool down his muscles.

Just as he was about to enjoy his post-workout breakfast, his phone rang. It was Sarah, the talented F&B manager he had hired. She wanted to confirm if tomorrow morning at 10am would be a suitable time to meet and interview the staff members she had found. Rio agreed without hesitation, appreciating Sarah's efficiency and dedication.

After finishing his breakfast, Rio grabbed his grocery list and headed out to restock the kitchen supplies. He made his way to the local grocery store, carefully selecting fresh produce, premium meats, and pantry staples. He took his time to choose the finest ingredients, ensuring that his meals would be of the highest quality.

With the groceries in hand, Rio decided to indulge himself and visit Louis Vuitton, a renowned luxury brand. He strolled through the elegant displays, browsing the latest collections. Eventually, he settled on a few items that caught his eye. He chose a stylish casual shirt made from premium cotton, a pair of tailored jeans that fit him perfectly, and a sleek belt adorned with a tasteful logo. The total price of his purchases at Louis Vuitton came to $2,500, reflecting the premium craftsmanship and impeccable design.

With his shopping done, Rio couldn't resist the temptation to speed on the open road as he drove back home. The thrill of the wind in his hair and the power of his car gave him an exhilarating feeling. He thoroughly enjoyed the adrenaline rush that came with driving at high speeds.

Arriving back home, Rio arranged the items he bought from Louis Vuitton in his closet, ensuring everything was neatly organized. He then proceeded to prepare dinner, opting for a mouthwatering grilled salmon with roasted vegetables and a side of quinoa. The aroma filled his kitchen as he skillfully cooked the meal.

After enjoying his delicious dinner, Rio ended the day by relaxing and unwinding, knowing that he had accomplished much and was ready to tackle the upcoming week with enthusiasm.

Monday morning arrived with a sense of purpose and energy for Rio. He followed his daily workout routine, feeling his muscles awaken as he pushed his body to its limits. The shower that followed was invigorating, cleansing both his body and mind. Rio then prepared a nutritious breakfast, savoring each bite as he fueled himself for the day ahead.

At 10am, Rio found himself in a meeting room, ready to interview the potential staff members for his café. The candidates walked in, their nerves evident, but Rio's warm and friendly demeanor put them at ease.

Rio: Good morning! Please have a seat. I'm Rio, and I'll be conducting your interview today. Tell me a bit about yourself and why you're interested in joining my café.

Emily: Good morning, Rio. Thank you for the opportunity. My name is Emily, and I've always had a passion for creating delicious pastries. I believe your café would be the perfect platform for me to showcase my skills and bring joy to customers through my baked creations.

Rio: That's wonderful, Emily. Baking is an art, and I appreciate your dedication. Can you share some of your notable achievements or experiences in the culinary field?

Emily: Certainly! I've worked as a pastry chef at a reputable bakery, where I received accolades for my innovative recipes and attention to detail. I've also participated in local baking competitions, winning first place in several categories. I'm constantly seeking new techniques and flavors to elevate my craft.

Rio: Impressive, Emily. How do you handle working in a fast-paced environment and collaborating with a team?

Emily: I thrive in fast-paced settings. I believe effective communication and teamwork are crucial for success. I'm adaptable, calm under pressure, and always ready to lend a helping hand to my colleagues. I believe in fostering a positive work environment to bring out the best in everyone.

The interviews continued throughout the morning, with Rio engaging in insightful conversations with each candidate, exploring their experiences, skills, and aspirations. He made mental notes, envisioning how each individual could contribute to his café's success.

Once the interviews concluded, Rio's attention turned to Sarah, the talented and reliable person he entrusted with the task of hiring staff. They sat down, their conversation flowing effortlessly, as if they were old friends catching up.

With the staff interviews and discussions concluded, Rio's mind turned to other matters. He had recently developed an interest in playing the piano, believing it would be a beautiful addition to his home. Determined to find the perfect instrument, he visited a reputable piano shop that boasted a wide selection of renowned brands.

After careful consideration and guidance from the knowledgeable staff, Rio chose a grand piano from a famous brand. Its ebony finish and resonant tones captivated him. The grand piano Rio purchased from the renowned brand was $50,000. Its exquisite craftsmanship, superior sound quality, and reputation as a cherished instrument justified the investment. Rio saw it not just as a musical instrument but also as a symbol of his dedication to pursuing beauty and artistic expression in his life. He instructed the delivery team on the ideal placement of the piano in his living space, envisioning the music that would fill his home.

As the clock struck 5pm, Rio felt a pang of hunger. He swiftly made his way to the kitchen to prepare a quick snack. He indulged in a plate of freshly sliced fruits, relishing the vibrant colors and natural sweetness.

With his appetite satisfied, Rio returned to the piano, eager to continue practicing. As his fingers danced across the keys, he noticed an intriguing phenomenon. His memory and comprehension seemed to sharpen, as if his transmigration to this world had unlocked hidden abilities within him.

As the evening progressed, Rio glanced at the clock, which displayed 7pm. He decided it was time to prepare dinner. Inspired by his recent trip to the market, he decided to create a savory pasta dish. He expertly cooked al dente pasta, tossed it with a flavorful tomato and basil sauce, and garnished it with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

With the delicious aroma filling the air, Rio savored his culinary creation, appreciating the artistry of a well-prepared meal. The day drew to a close, leaving Rio with a profound sense of satisfaction and anticipation for the adventures that awaited him in the days to come.
