Chapter ５６

Rio unlocked a tablet computer and displayed its contents for Ellen to see. Pictured was a downtown Las Vegas storefront with a "for sale" sign in the window. As he browsed the exhibition, he saw a painting of an ItalMaple eatery with a huge "Brown's" sign in the window. He is planning to establish a branch in Pretoria. And now he wants me to be in charge of the kitchen.

Both Ellen's eyes and lips widened in shock.

Can you be serious? It was a question Carl posed. I'm sorry if this seems sly, but I'm following close behind. Yes, I did all I did only for you.

“Mad?” Ellen exclaimed in disbelief. You done this for me, and I can't even thank you!" Why should I become angry? Honestly, Carl, this is the nicest thing anybody has ever done for me.

When he finally glanced down at her, his eyes were shining with affection.

We have food, so come on! Doris bobbed his head, signaling for them to follow him.
