Kapitel 17: Chapter 15. Dinner is Served
When morning came, Jared awoke with a light sensation in his body. He stretched his arms before exiting the bedroom to prepare himself a breakfast.
[Ding!
Would you like to sign-in?]
The system rang and Jared didn't waste time and immediately replied through his mind.
'sign-in'.
[Ding!
Congratulations host. You have received, Linguistics Ability. Please choose 5 languages to master]
He was astonished for a moment. He could not believe the system had given him the ability to learn five languages.
"It may not be money, but this ability sure will come in handy" he smiled as he went through the long lists of foreign languages.
After making up his mind, he immediately responded to the system. "Prench, Zapanese, Hainese, Spaniz, Corean"
As soon as he replied, the system immediately rang.
[Ding!
Congratulations host. You have obtained the ability to speak five different languages.
Warning: Please bear the headache for a few seconds.
Initializing content...]
Jared, who had been standing in the kitchen, dropped down and kneeled on the ground as soon as the pain shot through his brain. He groped his head in tremendous pain.
The pain fades in a matter of seconds, but the throbbing lasts for several minutes. To keep his balance, he leaned against the countertop. He shook his head, adjusting his eyesight.
"The f*ck! This is the second in my pain list" he uttered in weak voice while leaning on the countertop.
After a few moments of settling himself. He stretched his arms and body before heading directly to the gym. He did not forget his daily objective to keep his physique.
After working out, he went outside to get a new drink and sat by the pool, watching the scenery in front of him.
[Ding!
Another day has come, and so as the mission.
Mission 1: Please people by your cooking and attain positive and honest praises.
Mission 2: Invite someone and cook for them until they are satisfied.
Reward/Rewards: Ownership of the Property+Random Roulette.
Mission Failure: The system will deactivate for one month.
Mission Limit: 48 hours]
Jared's eyebrows wrinkled into a straight line. Two missions, one reward, and a 48-hour time limitation. Jared believes the system has another dubious objective, but he eventually shrugs his shoulders, "Cooking for someone, how hard can it be?"
He shook off the negative thoughts and continued drinking while trying to speak many languages he had mastered. It feels new but familiar. He only learnt each language for a few seconds, yet Jared felt like he was born with it.
"I hope i can use these languages to communicate tonight"
After finishing the prep work, Jared rode his bike outside. The security guards were astonished when they saw him riding a bicycle, but they didn't dare to say anything. As he passed by and turned into the sidewalk lane, the guard instantly approached his partner.
"Rich people are weird. I saw several rich people flaunting their wealth, but this one is different. He has a car but he chose to ride a bicycle" he commented while shaking his head. His colleague tapped his shoulder and added a reply to what he said. "Yes people are weird. He is not like those second-rich generation kids out there. He is much more simple compared to them, at least not some rude disrespectful guy like the one living in the 11th Villa"
They exchanged glances before shaking their heads and let out a deep sigh, but the sound of the car approaching made them turn their heads.
"Speaking of which..."
The shiny Royce R. stopped and a head slip through the window door, followed by an anger tone. "Hey! Can you just open the gate! You should open the gates when you see my car from afar! How hard could it be! That's yoyr only job but you couldn't even get it right! F*ck!"
The two guards just shook their heads while opening the gates.
"We are sorry, sir"
The guy inside the car just clicked his tongue. The guards noticed the woman beside the guy and knew it wasn't the same woman they had seen before. It wasn't the first time they'd been yelled at, but they didn't respond because they were merely guards and their life constitutions differed from theirs. They will lose when they fight back.
"Tsk!"
The two of them immediately heaved a sigh of relief when the car passed by. They couldn't utter a word of disrespect, but they cursed the guy in their heads.
After spending his time outside, Jared immediately went straight to his apartment to take a bath. It was already 4 p.m but time waits for no one. He quickly rode his bicycle and head straight to the restaurant. It was only a family-close friends dinner but the restaurant was closed for them.
There was a long table already decorated with gold and white fabric, with green and white leaves in the centre. There are roughly thirty or forty seats. The old man's birthday was yesterday, and people from various industries had already celebrated with him, but the old man wanted to have a close relationship dinner for his family and old close friends, so the old man's family decided to rent the entire restaurant because the Apricot Maine was owned by the old man's close friend.
"Jared, can i trouble you to make large portions of your dish yesterday?
He wouldn't mind, but the unexpected mission came in and he needed to complete the task since he only had 24 hours. "Sure, but i saw the decorations on the table. Can we add some effects? Like a little bit of candlelight and smoke effect?"
Sandra was dazed for a moment. She also felt compelled to embellish the table because foreigners had been invited and she did not want to disgrace the owner with a plain design, but who knew Jared felt the same way?
"I agree. Let's get to work"
When the light of day gradually dissipate and darkness invade the entire sky. The restaurant was in full throttle.
"Keep up! The dishes that was already done, get them out immediately!"
Sandra's voice was echoing inside the kitchen. Everyone's hands was in full, doing multi-tasking. Jared was also doing the same, though it was only natural for him thanks to the system.
He made several batches of 4 large portions of three different kinds of dishes because the other staff are already making the rest of the dishes on the list and he wouldn't want to take their job since it would be an insult for the staff and he doesn't want to be hated by them who was working in the restaurant for a long time.
After preparing the dishes, Jared went outside to place the dishes in an orderly manner and pour a little dry ice in the middle of the table to make a smoke effect.
Soon after, the guests came in one after another wearing luxury suits and dresses then sat by their designated seats. After the toast, the table filled with noises and laughter. Jared peeked at them and he recognized some of the guests. Some of them are big shots in the industry like the group of blonde people on the other side. They are from the famous jewellers and expensive fabrics owners from Franz. Some of them are conglomerates. This was not simply a late birthday dinner celebration, but a gatherings of the wealthy and influencial figures.
"Hey. Let's eat first"
Jared turned his back and scoops a portions of the foods they reserved for themselves.
"I think i'm dying"
"Kitchen is a battlefield too. Get use to it!"
The kitchen soon filled with laughter even though all of them are exhausted from moving their bodies. The dishes they served are large since the guests number are more.
After eating, Jared went backdoor to take a quick smoke. Watching the night sky filled with stars, his mind immediately went back to past, occupying by the memories he had when the adoptive old man was still alive.
He remembered the last phrase the old man left behind.
'if i die, i will be the star to guide you so you won't get lost. No matter how tough life will be, make sure to never...never ever do anything that will take away your humanity. Remember that, Jared'
'sigh!'
'you are a star now, so that means you are one of them who was looking at me from above? Gramps, i miss you'
He took a deep breath and stomped the cigarette under his shoe. He picked a ginger mint candy in his pocket and played it inside his mouth then went back inside.
"He's here!"
Jared instantly lifted his gaze to the kitchen personnel. A blonde young woman stood in front of Sandra, while behind her stood a woman with eyeglasses.
"Jared, she was looking for you"
He immediately walked towards them and faced the girl. She's demure and her face looks innocent.
"Je veux apprendre les plats que tu as cuisinés. Ma mère les aimait bien, alors j'ai voulu apprendre à les préparer pour pouvoir les servir. ( I-i want to learn the dishes you cooked. My mother liked it, so i wanted to learn how to do it so that I could serve her )"
Her tone of speaking was gentle and soothing, paired with her blushing doll-like face. She keeps on avoiding his eyes. Her behavior reminds him of Monica.
The woman from behind her immediately speak but Jared stopped her.
"Je peux parler, merci. ( I can speak, thank you )"
All of them was stunned when Jared speak like a native. The girl also surprised like the translator behind her.
The way he speaks was like he was born in Franz and grew up to know Prench like it was his mother tongue.
The woman was in dazed when she heard him speak. He was handsome and a talented cook and he also speak their language fluently so she couldn't help but admire him.
'amazing'
