Hearing the cheer in the joint owner’s voice, Patrick couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. That guy must felt like he’d truly hit the jackpot.
“No need for anything fancy. Just get a chef from the five–star hotel next door to whip up a ten–course meal. As long as your diner is spotless, we’re golden. My boss is a bit of a germaphobe.”
