Chapter 1164 Buying Shares
“Did your housekeeper come from the agency that I recommended you?” Susanne inquired.
“Of course!” That lady added with a wry smile, “I didn’t understand his actions at first. Since his pay is a lot higher than those in the same trade, there’s no reason for him to do something like that. Initially, I thought he needed money because of an emergency back home. As he has become a confidant of mine, I wanted to help him. After I questioned him, do you know what his reason was?”
When she held everyone in suspense, her friends urged, “Quick, tell us!”
Laughing, she explained, “He said that the food was just too fragrant and exquisite looking.”
Susanne was astounded. Another friend asked, “Is he exaggerating? Is it really that good?”
That lady nodded. “He only ate one of the dishes and left the other untouched. Out of curiosity, I tried it and was blown away! I’m sure all of you are aware that I’m not one to have leftovers. But, I made an exception in this case by finishing the leftovers from the night before.”
The other ladies looked at her in disbelief.
After all, eating leftovers in their circle was entirely unheard of.
“It sounds like the food there is really good. Why don’t we go there for lunch?” one of them suggested.
That lady who ate the leftovers shook her head. “When I sent my housekeeper to inquire in the morning, he told me there was already a line since dawn. If we really want to go there, I’m afraid we might have to line up for a few days before we get our turn.”
Another lady sitting across from Susanne remarked casually, “Can’t we just pay more and reserve the entire place?”
That lady pursed her lips. “Do you think that didn’t cross my mind? Even when I offered them two hundred thousand, they still turned me down.”
