บท 16: UNBELIEVABLE

"Veronica, Are you at the restaurant now?" Hutton asked after operating on his phone for a few moments.

"Yeah, and the remaining workers are here with me too" A pleasant and charming voice came out from the phone that Hutton currently placed close to left ear.

"Ok wait for me, am coming" Hutton said as he began to move from the spot he was in.

Apparently, Hutton have previously contacted Veronica while he was on his way to the Venice estate to gather the remaining workers in the restaurant and go there.

So after confirming that they were currently waiting in the restaurant, Hutton who was still standing in front of the house he just bought in the estate quickly began to walk hurriedly towards the estate entrance.

'Although a walk like this is good for my body, I still need a car for the situation am currently in' Hutton thought with a wry smile on his face.

After walking hurriedly for a good 30 minutes, Hutton finally arrived at the estate entrance where he saw the scar faced guard he encountered while coming into the estate standing there.

"H-Hope you have a safe journey revered sir!" As soon as this guard caught sight of Hutton approaching the exit of the estate, he immediately exclaimed in a highly respectful tone while making a rather clumsy military salute.

Although he found the clumsy military salute amusing, Hutton still have a good impression of him. Even if he knew that the guard was behaving like this due to the event he caused at the administration building, he still had a good impression of him.

The reason is because of how he handled the situation during when he arrived at the entrance of the estate. Other guards would have immediately chased him away but instead, this guard didn't judged the book by the cover and allowed him in.

"What's your name?" Hutton suddenly asked after approaching the guard. Although the guard was surprised by the sudden question directed at him, he still answered normally.

"My name is Jake sir"

"Mmm.. what a good name" Hutton calmly said as he left the estate entrance calmly.

'Why did he ask me for my name?'

'I hope I didn't offend him unknowingly?'

After saying these this things in his mind, he began to feel nervous while Hutton quickly took a cab which was nearby.

....

In a rather lively area at the outer region of the Cornerstone city, a group of people could be waiting in front of a rather old looking two storey building.

"Huh? Why is a group of people gathered there?"

"Is something happening at the Green Clover restaurant?"

"Let's go check it out, maybe we can benefit from the situation"

"Are you dumb, can't you see we have work to do, move quickly or else I will report you!"

"Ah Timmy, you don't to be mean to your best friend"

While whispers could faintly be heard from different passer-by, the group that is actually standing in front of the restaurant were whispering among themselves.

Among these people, a particular woman stood out with her bold purple colored hair and bright purple lipstick which stick on a face that was so beautiful that it could a war between two great countries!

This beauty is none other than Veronica who Hutton has contacted earlier to gather the remaining workers and wait for him at the front of the restaurant.

Unlike the lazy and relaxing Veronica that was in Hutton old apartment, this Veronica looked totally dignified and solemn with her black colored female suit which brought out a unique charm within her and the devilish shape she have.

"Please be patient for a bit longer, he will soon be here" Veronica said to the group with an apologetic look in her eyes.

"Am sorry Mrs. Veronica but we can't be patient much longer" A man in the group said with an annoyed looked on his face. Based on the clothes he is wearing, he seems to be a chef.

"He hasn't paid us for a month now and he still bold enough to make us wait for him. It seems my time working in the restaurant is up" a lady in the group spoke up with a furious expression on her face.

"Maybe he wants to settle you guys before he renovates the restaurant that's why he wants you guys to wait for him" Veronica explained as she started to feel anxious.

"Can't he just settle us by visiting us one by one. What's the need of making us wait here for him?" another chef that is apparently a lady asked with a confused expression on her face. But before any one else could answer what the lady said, they suddenly heard a calm and indifferent voice from the distance.

"If you feel like resigning from your job in the restaurant, after I pay you your debt, quickly get out of this vicinity"

"He is finally here!" Veronica said as she sighed in relief while staring at Hutton who just came out from a taxi and approached the group.

"So is there anyone?" Hutton asked calmly after approaching the group.

"I would like to resign"

"Me also"

"Me too"

Not too long after Hutton asked that question, three people voluntarily raised up there hands. These three people are two female waiters and the male chef.

"Anyone else?" Hutton asked again as he looked a the remaining people who haven't raised up there hands. He knew he was at fault or to be precise the first Hutton is at fault for not giving these people there pay for last month, but that doesn't mean he will keep the people that have an intention of resigning so as not to mess things up.

Instead he will make them leave and hire fresh new people who are enthusiastic in the job given to them.

After seeing that apart from the three people who hurriedly raised up there hands, no one else joined them, he calmly chuckled before saying.

"To be honest, I never believed I will still have some workers in the group who are still willing to work for me. But since you decided to do so, I promise you that you won't ever regret it"

"Now then, I am going to be paying each and everyone of you now and the ones that wants to resign should quickly leave these place after I pay you"

The pay for this group are 10,000 bucks for the waiters, 15 thousand for the security and 20,000 for the chefs. After giving out their payment and making the three people who want to resign leave the area, he quickly brought out his phone and began to dial a number.

"Boss, who are you planning on calling?" Veronica suddenly asked as she approached Hutton.

"Actually, am calling some people I met some time to come and renovate the building" Hutton answered with a light smile on his face.

In the memories he acquired from the first Hutton, he find out that he actually have contacted and met someone who wants to renovate the restaurant but unfortunately, he died before he could even gather enough money to pay the person for the renovation.

"Huh? Didn't you tell me before that you will need 200,000 bucks to renovate the building? Where are we gonna get that kind of money?" Veronica quickly asked with a confused expression on her face. Although she knew that he might have gotten some money from someone to make the restaurant operational, but now she is completely confused by what he just said.

"Actually I'm planning on making the restaurant a three storey building which will bring the price to 300,000 bucks. But you don't have to worry because I have the funds to do so" Hutton explained with a light chuckle.

"Can I ask how much you have now?" Veronica quickly asked as she began to feel that something is wrong.

"Do you really wanna know?"

"Yes"

After getting a confirmation from her, Hutton calmly whispered to her with a light smile on his face.

"I have 600,000 bucks with me now"

"What!? Why did you get that kind of money?" Veronica exclaimed with a disbelieving expression on her divine looking face.

"Well let's say someone gave it to me as a reward" Hutton said with a mysterious smile on his face. But Veronica currently have a dazed expression on her face as she thought.

'Unbelievable'
