Chapter 27
When she arrived at their house, she quickly got out of the taxi. Until now, she is still very annoyed when she thinks about who she was with in that condo.
When she entered their house, she immediately went straight to her room to take a bath and get dressed but before that she went first to her son’s room to peek at it and saw that he was still sound asleep. She immediately closed the door of the child’s room.
After she tidied herself up it went down, she found her parents eating so she immediately sat down to share with them.
“Good morning Jewel, where were you last night? Why didn’t you come home?” her mother asked
“Good morning mom, dad! I was with Calleigh last night. We just bonded, you know we haven’t seen each other for a long time, she said I’ll just spend the night there. I’m sorry if I didn’t call right away to let you know. ” she explained
Her parents immediately nodded at what she said.
As she was eating she noticed her father staring at her. “Why dad? Do you want to say something?” she asked
“About what you said yesterday, are you really sure about it? Your mom and I talked about it and we decided that Storm will be studying here.” her father said directly
She suddenly felt strange sadness. She was just thinking that leaving her child here was as if someone had flicked something in her chest. She wanted to protest but someone seemed to be holding her back.
“If that’s what you want, then it’s fine with me.” She answer
Her parents quickly looked at each other, obviously surprised by her answer.
They finished their breakfast and Jewel immediately stood up and went upstairs. She re -entered in her son’s room, who was still asleep.
She sat on the side of her bed and remained just staring at the child. The son knew what really happened between her and his father Thunder, his son was smart so he easily understood everything. A few more minutes passed before Jewel decided to go out, she picked up her laptop and carried it to the swimming pool area.
She wanted to look at the sales of the restaurant that she owned in Canada. She spent almost how many hours working and did not realize that it’s already two o’clock in the afternoon. She put away her belongings when suddenly a small hand gripped her hand.
“Mom, this is for you.” her child once handed her a bowl of cookies.
“Grandma help me bake that, she said you love cookies.” he added
“Thank you for this Storm, did you eat your lunch already?” She asked
“Yes mom, I already finished eating.”
“That’s good. Always don’t skip your meal, okay?”
The boy immediately nodded. “Eat that cookie mom, Don’t stress yourself too much especially at work. I love you mom.” He said and turned around to go back in the house
She just looked at her son and smiled.
While she was eating the cookies her cellphone rang, she immediately took it and answered.
“Hello, what is it Julie?” she asked
Julie is one of the managers in her restaurant. She is also a Filipina so she trusted her so much.
“I’ve been calling you since yesterday Ma’am, but you are not answering it. We have a client, it looks like the bride is rich because our restaurant is the one they want to cater for their wedding, they want to talk to you in person. “Julie explained.
“Do they know that the main branch of our restaurant is in Canada? No one will fix that there because I haven’t been back yet. I can’t talk to them in person.” She said
“Don’t worry about it Ma’am the client is from the Philippines and I’m sure you can meet and talk to them.”
“Them? And why did they choose our restaurant, when they know we’re based in Canada and just planning to build a branch here soon.” I asked
“Yes ma’am she’s with her fiancee. That’s probably what the bride wants so even though we’re in Canada they want our restaurant to cater and they’re willing to pay no matter how much.”
“That’s weird. Anyway, just schedule the meeting tomorrow if they are free so I can talk to them.” I commanded
The next day Jewel woke up early because she had a meeting with a client. Until now, she still can’t understand why they chose them even though there are many good restaurants here in the Philippines. Well, it’s not hidden from his knowledge that her restaurant is also well-known, almost exclusively professional chefs also work here so she won’t be surprised if even here in the Philippines they know about her restaurant.
She just dressed simply and wore a peach sleeveless dress and covered it with a blazer. She also wore black heels. And when she made sure she was ready to go, she took her bag and a folder containing their sample menus that the bride and groom could choose from.
He also soon arrived at a cafe where they would meet a client. He went straight to where the reservation Julie had told him was.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
When he got to the room he saw a beautiful woman sitting there as if waiting for someone, he immediately approached her.
“Hi Ms. Suarez goodmorning. I’m Jewel, the owner of Storm Fancy Restaurant.” he greeted her with a smile
“Goodmorning, it’s nice to finally meet you. Have a seat. Let’s order first before we talk.” back greetings from the woman
Jewel sat down and immediately someone approached their waiter. They ordered something to eat and just waited for it to arrive.
“I heard too much about your restaurant. My mom used to be in Canada for business and she said that your dishes and desserts are the best.” introduction of his client
“I think your mom is one of the VIPs there. Just yesterday my manager slash my secretary called me about you and I never thought you were here in the Philippines. So I was overwhelmed that you want us to cater for the wedding. You, I’m thinking because there are more well -known and famous restaurants here but you still prefer us, knowing that it’s in Canada. ” Jewel’s promise
“Well, I want my wedding to be the best. So I really researched good restaurants and it happened that mom recommended your restaurant to me.” anas of the woman.
Here’s the folder where our best sellers’ foods and desserts are there for you to choose from.
“Oh that’s nice. Is it okay if we wait for my fiancee for a while? He will be here any minute.” the girl said.
“Sure no problem Ms. Suarez.” Jewel replied with a smile
Later, their order arrived so they decided to eat first while waiting for the girl’s fiancee.
As they ate they continued to talk about the foods.
“Ahm, Jewel can you choose me about the foods and desserts? You know, I trust you more because you are the owner of it. I know you will recommend best dishes to us.” asking the maiden’s favor
“Sure, I’ll show you our best desserts that you and your guests know you’ll like.” its smiling response
They were in the middle of a conversation when suddenly someone spoke behind Jewel.
“Am I late?” a man’s voice.
Jewel almost swallowed a few times when she heard that voice.
“Babyyyy, it’s good and you’re here.” Celine smiled
“Jewel this is Thunder, my fiance and soon to be husband.” its introduction to him
He wanted to be embarrassed because of what he saw in the two
Thunder sat in the empty seat next to Celine and almost smoked his nose because of the flirting of the two in front of him.
Why are you affected there? You’re mad Jewel, you’re mad. “
