A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1290: Miss Shirley, Do You Still Remember Me?

Stunned, Rena stared at Mag’s outstretched hand for a while before she asked Mag in disbelief, “Y-you mean that I am hired?”

“Yes. Your specialty amazes me.” Mag nodded smilingly. “If it is alright with you, we could sign a contract for the probation period. The salary for the probation period is 3,500 copper coins. You will become a formal employee after the one-month probation. Your formal salary will be decided by your actual work scope, but it will definitely be more than the probationary salary. Furthermore, the restaurant will provide you with three meals and living quarters.”

Rena covered her gaping mouth with her hand as she continued to stare at Mag with disbelief. Was she really going to be Mamy Restaurant’s employee? She only managed to identify some spices.

Moreover, the 3,500 copper coins probationary salary was already 1,000 copper coins higher than her current salary, and it would increase further after she became a formal employee. In this case, she would be able to purchase better medicine for her mother.

“Rena, have you decided?” Mag asked.

“Yes, I do.” Rena swiftly nodded and reached out to shake Mag’s hand with tears glistening in her eyes. She could finally get rid of that awful job, and provide her mother with better conditions.

“We welcome you to join Mamy Restaurant, this big family,” Mag said smilingly before releasing Rena’s hand like a gentleman.

“Nice to meet you, Rena. I am Miya.” Yabemiya went forward to greet her.

“Hi, I am Gina.” Gina could already use the common tongue to introduce herself fluently.

Everyone began to go up to say hi to Rena and introduce themselves.

Everyone pretty much agreed with Mag hiring Rena as the new staff member. It was already very impressive that she could pick up all the condiments and spices using the hot pot with her sense of smell only.

“Could you please tell me why you selected me?” Rena asked Mag curiously when they were signing the contract.

“Your talent at differentiating the smells amazes me, but what moves me is your character,” Mag said to Rena smilingly. “If your talent at cooking is equally outstanding, I could have already found a very good sous chef.”

“I… I may not be good enough…” Rena said, feeling rather unconfident. Although she had been imitating food from some restaurants, she only cooked them for her mother and friends.

“We will know after the test.” Mag shook his head smilingly as he watched Rena sign the contract. Taking a look at the time, he said, “When would you be able to quit your current job?”

“I will go back to resign today, and I can start working in the restaurant tomorrow,” Rena said immediately.

“Okay. Leave your measurements behind, and I will prepare a set of uniforms for you. Report to the restaurant tomorrow at 7.30 am.” Mag nodded.

“Yes.” Rena nodded, and wrote down her clothing measurements on a piece of paper before taking her leave.

Rena pushed open the door, jumped out, clenched her fist, and happily exclaimed, “Great! I finally joined Mamy Restaurant!”

Then, she raised her head, and her gaze landed on the rows of customers who were staring at her.

Rena froze, and a blush quickly rose up on her cheeks. She slowly straightened her outstretched legs and smiled awkwardly at the crowd. Then she swiftly lowered her head and strode off.

My heavens! Why are there so many people here? This is so embarrassing… Rena screamed in her heart.

“Is this Mamy Restaurant’s new service staff member? She looks very energetic.”

“Yes, and she is rather cute.”

“I really envy this sister for joining the ultimate staff meals team!!!”

The customers began to talk curiously while watching Rena’s back. The news of Mamy Restaurant’s recruitment had attracted a lot of attention in the past two days. After all, all the service staff in Mamy Restaurant were beautiful women[1], so everyone was curious what kind of person would join them.

In the crowd, Constantine, who was wearing a long new robe, was arranging his clothes nervously, and then smoothed his neatly combed and oiled hair. He held up and lowered the bouquet of flowers in his hands repeatedly.

“Bro, can you help take a look if my clothes and hair are messy?” he said to Harrison, who was standing behind him, nervously.

Harrison began to look Constantine up and down, and then shook his head, and said, “You look okay. No problems at all.”

“Thanks.” Constantine heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face again. He was about to turn back again.

“Bro, you are really dressed up for a meal. May I ask, are you going to confess to Boss Mag?” Harrison asked, feeling very gossipy.

“Does Boss Mag like that kind of relationship?” Gjerj, who was standing next to them, poked his head over curiously.

The surrounding customers began to turn and size up Constantine curiously.

This young chap was rather handsome, so why did he have a fetish like this?

“N-nonsense. I like women. I don’t like men!” Constantine said righteously. He looked toward Mamy Restaurant with flowers in his hands, and expectantly said, “Today, I am going to confess my feelings to that beautiful maiden. I am not going to miss it this time round.”

“Which maiden is that? Which beautiful server is so unlucky to be noticed by you?” Harrison was even more curious now.

The customers were all looking at Constantine curiously. No one had ever confessed their feelings to Mamy Restaurant’s servers before. This was an excellent chitchat topic right before dinner.

“You will find out soon enough.” Constantine didn’t want to expose his cards. He smoothed his clothes out and stood up even straighter. He used deep breathing to regulate his heartbeat.

Harrison shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and continued to wait for the restaurant to open its door.

Ding!

The restaurant’s door opened outward, and Mag, wearing his chef’s suit, was standing at the entrance and welcoming everyone as usual.

Constantine’s gaze quickly landed on Shirley in the restaurant, and his eyes moistened instantly. This was the maiden that he had been pining for day and night, and she was right here in front of him again.

The customers greeted Mag and filed in.

Constantine’s steps were shaky as he followed the crowd in. He skipped over Mag and went to stand in front of Shirley straight away. He swallowed his saliva nervously before saying, “Miss Shirley, do you remember me?”

Shirley took a look at Constantine, and calmly replied, “No, I don’t.”

The fire in Constantine’s chest and all the words he wanted to confess were all “extinguished by a pail of icy water” suddenly. It was so cold…
