Suddenly, the car stopped which made Adele suprised because she rembered this place but she never thought they would be visiting it right after his arrival.
" Sami, you.." Adele wanted to ask but she was cut off before she could say anything.
" Aren't you guys hungry? because I am starving. Let's go and get sothing to eat." He said with a smile on his face.
They were in front of the pub run by Kate and Bella. He thought about what happened and wanted to nip the problem in the bud beside he didn't have any reason to hide anything from them.
Kate might be surprised for a second but he knew how fragile she was on the inside. From their talk he knew she didn't think she was right to associate to with and was perfectly happy to be on the sidelines which was embarrassing.
He never wanted to do any of it and treated everyone the sa. There was no need for her to be affected by her past experience thinking it was okay for her to self doubt herself. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Adele did have so interactions with Kate in his absence but because they were too busy, it's hard for them to et.
Kate was under a lot of pressure worrying about external influence affecting her business much like what happened when the Green family was targetting her.
She had genuine business with a lot of loyal custors but the rumours could be fatal leaving them doubting the authenticity of ehat was write and what was wrong.
Samuel did intervene and solved her problem but the root cause was still there. If not for her, he wouldn't mind just going straight back to the states.
He already had a plan to what needed to be done to teach both Green family and their eldest son who tornted Kate in the past. But the problem was because they had so connections with thr Royal family, he needed to be mindful so as to not arise their suspicion.
After all, he knew about the knighthood that was imparted on the current head of the Green family. If he was excessive it would look bad on the Queen's image.
He didn't really have much interactions with other mbers of the Royal family but he was in a cooperative relationship with the Queen who too was trying to help him find out about the mysterious organization with the six crown symbols.
There was a lot to be taken into consideration so that his handywork would remain hidden even of the Queen sent her best n to investigate. If that didn't work he could make so deal with her outright, he only needed to teach the eldest son the lesson and didn't really care about the whole Green family.
There were a lot of shady things in their past but now a days most of these elite family were the sa. There people would pay the price sooner or later because the truth couldn't be hidden for too long.
He parked the car and took both of their hand and lead them toward the pub which seed deserted for now. He knew there must be few patrons but this ti of the day, most people would be at work.
" I want you guys to et soone especially Robyn. You have already learned a lot from Adele but I have to say that most of the thing that she said about my past is not true."
" Especially the part where she told how she chased down. I was the first one interested in her and the part about saving her life was exaggerated so don't pay attention to it." He said with a chuckle. Adele blushed which made Robyn amused especially her expression.
" This shop is run by Kate. I don't think I ever told you how I t her. It all happened when I first went to the bar and t Dhia..." He began telling them about his experience.
Even now he couldn't really believe a drunken night with friends would lead to such unexpected encounter. There were many ups and downs in the story making not only Robyn but also Adele imrsed.
It's been a lot of ti since he contacted Dhia, he didn't know of she was back from Malaysia but considering her status, he wouldn't be surprised if she was only here to experience life like most wealthy people children's do.
" The situation with Bella is complicated. I don't know how to explain it but I am sure you will like her. She is one of the most talented chefs I know, well versed in many cuisines. With her around maybe you guys would stop pestering to make food all the ti." He said with a laugh.
Adele didn't really know much about the mysterious Bella, he never really told her. The reason was he himself didn't know much about her except for the fact she was best friends with Kate and she cared about her a lot.
Maybe that's why she was thrust into such a strange relationship but he did vividly rember one night that they spent together. It was quite awkward to say the least, after that she disappeared the next morning.
They walked inside the pub, most of the people knew who Samuel was after the Green family incident. Even if he wasn't here for few weeks, how could they ever forget his face? It was too damn charming!
They enthusiastically welcod him and even provided him with the best seat in the house. Samuel wanted to go find Bella in the kitchen but he restrain himself for the mont. His hastiness could ruin the surprise!
" Sir." The waiter who was familiar with him ca to interrupt his thoughts.
" Do you want to inform the boss lady?"
" No, please don't anyone that we are here. There is no need to disturb her, I will talk to her later." He reacted and told them not to tell Kate about their arrival.
She would usually work upstairs, busy with paperwork. He had seen her workload and knew why she was so busy. She was essentially the only one in the purchasing departnt and was responsible for procurent of supplies while Bella was the main chef in the kitchen. After all it was a joint venture both invested in.
It would be a but boring to announce his presence so he wanted to surprise the two of them.
" This guy must be thinking about sothing evil." Adele shook her head. She was aware of his naughty sides but Robyn was unfamiliar with it.
" Why don't we order sothing first?" He asked them.
There were a variety of choices. The thing he liked about the small pub was the care they would put into their food variety.
Bella was learning new things constantly and with Kate at the helm, they would change ingredients leading to many specialities in food.
People mostly ca to drink but the reason why this place was famous and they could afford to rent in such a prominent place was because of their good food.
Drinks were common but the snacks and food that went along with it were made with special care making people feel that it was worth the price. In recent months many of such stores were shut down due to the worsening economy which still hadn't recovered from the financial crisis.
Kate's pub manage to weather the storm entirely because of their good reputation. Although people didn't have much money to spend, they would occasionally co here to foot the bill after all they didn't want their favorite place to shut down.
Kate never really asked for help, her saving were enough to fill the holes and keep the paychecks coming which made her employee satisfied with the treatnt. She was a good boss and took care of her people, even of they weren't paid on ti they would protest knowing what the store was going through.
Samuel would like to help but he didn't want to co off as forceful. He would intervene if she was on her last leg but for now, he just wanted to support her from afar. After all, he knew her troubles and her thoughts of not wanting to take advantage of him due to their relationship.
It was a show of mutual respect which was essential in any relationship.
Soon the food was served, Robyn was pleasantly surprised by the spread. British food were notorious for being tasteless and didn't have a good reputation.
It was ironic, considering at one point of ti they controlled most of the supplies of spices but for so reason they never seed to integrate such things into their cuisine. Bella was different, she had experinted with different cuisines and had tailor made signature dishes to fit the patrons taste buds.
Even soone like Robyn who was little picky with food enjoyed the spread. In the middle of eating, Samuel called the waiter and asked him to call the chef because the food was unsatisfactory.
The other party was surprised at first but when he saw the girls smiling while Samuel winking at her, she understood what these people were upto. She hurriedly went to the kitchen and caled herself down before dawnioa worried face, a natural born actor wanting to see what Bella's reaction would be like!
