Restaurant Opening I

Saturday, September 19th, Elffire City.

With the heavy advertising, the social circles of the city were aware that a new restaurant was opening in town.

Theo invited all the employees of his company. Sam, Sayuri, the baristas, the cooks, and the rest of the employees of the Fuji Company.

He expected a full house today and he was looking forward to the opening.

Inside a mansion of Elffire City, a couple could be seen hugging.

"I missed you so much, honey. Are you okay? Did something happen at the sea?" a middle-aged man with purple hair said with worry as he looked towards his wife as if to see if she was really okay.

"I am okay, dear. Nothing would happen with me with the crew you hired watching the boat." the woman giggled as she caressed her husband's cheek. She was a beautiful woman with golden hair and mesmerizing golden eyes.

The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. The ocean of this planet was too big, and accidents often happened to unprepared sailors.

"Thank goodness. Tell me about the trip then?" Ezume asked.

Yamada Ezume was curious about the adventures his wife experienced at the sea.

The two talked as Hazel Lionheart narrated her adventure to her husband.

When she finished narrating, she asked.

"Where are our daughters?" Hazel was missing her little babies.

"One of them is here at Elffire City but she is playing at the city as always. The other is taking care of the other. And the last is at Sakura City." Ezume said while shaking his head.

They had three daughters and all of them had unusual personalities.

"At least I can see two of them today then" Hazel smiled.

"Do you want to go to an event with and father tonight?" Ezume asked.

"Father-in-law is going to an event? That's rare." Hazel asked.

"It is a long story. It all began when wanted to the Central Market to look at the people..." Ezume then began to explain how Theo saved Grandpa Takeo and they became friends.

"Such a promising young man. It is not a surprise that father-in-law appreciates this young man." Hazel said.

"Yeah, young Theo is opening his own restaurant and he invited us." Ezume said.

"Count me in. I want to meet this young man that made father-in-law like him so much." Hazel said with shining eyes.

Back at the restaurant, during the past three days, the whole staff was in tenterhooks as they prepared for the opening.

The salon staff trained for the service and the kitchen staff practiced the menus repeatedly.

Theo wanted everything to be perfect. Even Ayia was much less playful these last few days.

It was the first time she experienced an opening of a restaurant as an employee, and she wanted to perform well.

The four cooks became full-fledged professional cooks during the last days. They could cook much faster and with quality.

Theo was proud of how far they came.

Aurora also came to help with the opening. She asked Theo if she could help June with the operations of the restaurant. He thought that it wouldn't hurt so he allowed it.

Surprisingly, Aurora was talented, and June appreciated her help.

At 5pm, one hour before the opening, Theo called all the employees to the staff lounge room.

"Guys, that is it. We are about to open. And I don't have much to say. Only that I hope all of you give all your efforts. I am counting on you." Theo smiled as he looked at his employees.

These last few days he already could feel that they became familiar with each other.

"Let's go!" Theo said with excitement.

"Yes, boss!!" they shouted.

Then they dispersed to take their positions.

Theo called the greeter for a talk.

"Caio, if any of these people arrive. I want someone to warn me that they arrive, okay?" Theo said to Caio, the greeter.

"Yes, boss!" Caio exclaimed.

Soon the opening arrived, and The Spark restaurant opened officially.

Lisa Gardner was a graduate student of Bluecorn University and she wanted to go out with her friends on Saturday night. They wanted to go to a club to dance but they wanted first to go to a restaurant to eat something.

It was then that they heard that a new restaurant in town. So, they decided to go to the restaurant early and after they would go to the club.

They were in a taxi going to the restaurant when Lisa said.

"I heard this new restaurant is really beautiful from outside." she said.

"We can take some pictures to post on social media then." Laura said; she was Lisa's friend.

"Yes, we can do that." Monica said; she was also their friend.

They all looked stunning when they exited the taxi at the front of the restaurant.

When they looked at the restaurant, they had to admit that it was a beautiful building.

They entered the building and arrived at the greeter counter.

"Hello, I have a reservation with the name 'Lisa Gardner'" Lisa said with a smile.

"Wait a moment, please." Caio said as he looked at the restaurant system.

"I can see here. Please if you follow our employee, he will show you your table." Caio smiled at the three pretty ladies.

"Thank you" Lisa said with a smile.

When they arrived at the salon, the three girls stopped at the same time.

They never such a beautiful scene.

The saloon looked so romantic.

With the flowers at the ceiling and the stars in the sky and with a warm light that made it look like it was candlelight.

"Oh my gosh, are you guys seeing this?" Lisa asked her friends.

"Oh yes" they both replied.

Then they followed the employee to their table as they continued to admire the salon.

When they sat at their table, a waiter arrived and handed over three menus for them to look at.

"Hmm I never heard some of these dishes." Lisa said as she looked at the menu.

"Miss, most of the dishes of our restaurant are an original recipe from our head chef.

So, you won't find anywhere else." the waiter said.

"What do you recommend?" Monica asked the writer.

"If you ladies don't want to eat heavy food. The Vegetarian Menu is a must. If you want delicate dishes, I recommend the Ocean Menu. But if you guys want something different and with more taste. I recommend the Red Menu." the waiter said.

"How about we order each menu, and we share with the other?" Laura suggested.

"I am okay with that" Lisa said.

"Me too." Monica also replied.

"Okay, ladies, do you want something to drink?"

"We have a large variety of drinks if you girls see the Drink Menu." the waiter said.

They looked at the Drink Menu, and they must admit that they had great drinks. Especially wines.

They selected a bottle of wine, and the waiter went away.
