In the heart of the last floor of the Green Clover restaurant where the executive suit is located, Hutton, Bu Ling and Everlyn could be seen seated at a round table.
"So tell me what exactly is going on around here and how you are here?" Hutton said while he looked at Everlyn with a calm look on his face.
"Well I think I should start with how I started working here" Everlyn answered as she brought out a phone from one of the pockets in her suit.
"The lady in this photowas the one who told me to work here while she pays me" Everlyn said again as she showed Hutton and Bu Ling a photo on her phone.
"Isn’t this the second young mistress of the Ling family?" Bu Ling suddenly spoke up with a surprised look on his face.
’Ling Fei?’ Hutton thought with a surprised look on his face for only a moment before he quickly came back to normal.
"Ok so one of the questions have been answered, what about the other one?" Hutton asked in a calm tone after coming back to normal.
"Ok so this is the situation right now" Everlyn said as he took in a deep breath before she began to explain.
"When your personal manager went missing, there was no one else capable enough of running the business so it was closed prematurely while all your workers were picked up by other restaurants to work for them at a much higher price. It was only your head chef Hamilton who refused all their offers and decided to wait till you return"
"When I got hired by this woman to manage this restaurant, I tried to tell Chef Hamilton to come back but he refused and said that it was only you who could bring him back. Be cause of this, I had to use other average chefs to helo me in running the restaurant"
"But due to them not knowing the signature dish of the restaurant, the popularity of the restaurant began to fall slowly yet steadily until we get only five new customers every month"
"Not only that, but nowadays some of the big customers have begun to put their eyes on the ownership of this business but I will always refuse every offer they send to me which will make to try and force me to do otherwise. An example of what I mean is the incident you saw when you first came into the restaurant".
Crack!!!
Not too long after Everlyn finished speaking, the cup which Hutton was using to take some tea suddenly cracked as Hutton’s expression quickly became ice cold.
’It seems like I need to begin showing my dominance in this backwater city’ Hutton thought while he asked Everlyn in a calm yet ominous tone.
"How much have been made since when I left?"
"Well it’s approximately 10 million bucks in total but in pure profit is just 2 million" Everlyn answered with a worried look on her face.
When Hutton heard what she said, he first took in a deep breath before he suddenly stood up from his chair which stunned both Everlyn and Bu Ling.
"You both should get up, we are going to visit Hamilton" While walking out of the executive suit, Hutton said in a calm tone.
’It seems like the Green Clover restaurant is coming back to it’s peak’ Everlyn thought with an excited look on her face as she stood up with Bu Ling and followed Hutton.
And so, Hutton, Bu Ling and Everlyn began to walk across the Green Clover restaurant till they came out of it. After waiting for a taxi for a few minutes, they finally got one which immediately began to take them towards a street named the ’Faradays Street’
"So Sir–"
"Just call me boss or Mr. Hutton" While still being in the taxi while it takes them to Faradays Street, Hutton suddenly cut what Everlyn wanted ti say short.
"Ok Mr. Hutton" Everlyn replied with a wry smile on her face before she continued "So Mr. Hutton, how was your personal manager like, I heard that she is one of the greatest uprising managers in the US"
"Oh really?" Hutton suddenly asked back with a surprised look on his face while he stared at Everlyn.

But Everlyn didn’t back away as she continued with a her bright looking eyes and her glowing face.
"Yes Mr. Hutton, she even go an award for the title I just said. But unfortunately, as soon as she got the title, she just disappeared and no one knows about her whereabouts till date."
’Is the reason she got missing related to the award she received?’ Hutton thought with a pondering look on his face. But not too long after, he was immediately brought back to his senses by the voice of the taxi driver.
"We have arrived"
"Oh" Hutton remarked in a surprising tone before he began to observe the area outside the car window.
Right now what Hutton, Bu Ling and Everlyn is looking at is Chef Hamilton’s bungalow which stands as a testament to timeless elegance amidst the urban landscape. Its exterior is a blend of classic charm and modern sophistication, boasting a symmetrical façade framed by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. A welcoming front porch, adorned with tasteful décor, invites guests to linger and soak in the ambiance.
The bungalow’s architecture exudes craftsmanship, with detailed trim work, large windows adorned with decorative shutters, and a sloping roof topped with clay tiles. The warm hues of the exterior paint complement the surrounding environment, while architectural accents add depth and character to the home’s facade.
A well-maintained driveway leads to the bungalow’s entrance, bordered by manicured lawns and neatly trimmed hedges. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, creating a sense of seclusion within the bustling cityscape.
At night, the bungalow is aglow with soft lighting, casting a warm and inviting glow across the exterior. The ambiance is one of tranquility and refinement, a sanctuary in the heart of the city, where Chef Hamilton’s culinary talents are sure to be celebrated.
"What a peaceful house" Bu Ling suddenly remarked with a comfortable look on his face while he walked out of the taxi along with Everlyn.
Even Hutton have a relaxed look on his face as he paid the taxi driver and got of the taxi. After arriving right in front of Hamilton’s entrance door, Hutton suddenly spoke up.
"Let’s go greet my good friend"
Ding Dong!!
Right after, Hutton pressed the doorbell button and began to wait patiently for someone or Hamilton to be precise to open the door.
A few minutes later, As the door creaked open on rusty hinges, revealing the silhouette of a teenage girl with obsidian-black hair cascading in glossy waves around her shoulders, a sense of mystery hung in the air. Her eyes, pools of darkness flecked with hints of hidden depths, held a captivating allure as she greeted the unexpected trio standing before her.
For the young man named Hutton, she offered a tentative smile, her lips curving into a shy yet welcoming gesture. Her gaze lingered on him, curiosity dancing in the depths of her dark eyes, as if she were silently unraveling the layers of his soul with each passing moment.
Turning her attention to the middle-aged man named Bu Ling, her demeanor shifted subtly, her posture straightening imperceptibly as she extended a polite nod of acknowledgment. There was a hint of respect in her gaze, tempered with a touch of wariness, as if she were assessing him with the keen intuition of someone wise beyond her years.
And finally, as her eyes met those of the young lady called Everlyn, a spark of recognition flickered in the depths of her gaze, igniting a sense of camaraderie between them. There was an unspoken understanding that passed between them, a shared bond forged in the fires of their shared experiences.
Though her name remained unknown, this teenage girl with black hair and eyes held a quiet strength and undeniable presence that left an indelible impression on those who crossed her path. As she ushered the trio into the warmth of her home, the mystery surrounding her only deepened, leaving them to wonder about the secrets she held within the depths of her soul.
’Who is this girl?’ Hutton thought with a curious look on his face while he observed the teenage girl.
"Cabella! Who is at the door" But before Hutton could think of what to say, he suddenly heard a voice before a person came into his line of sight. When he saw this person, he suddenly gave out a small smirk.
As for the other person that just appeared, when he saw that it was Hutton that was standing at the door, he was first stunned before he began to grow ecstatic as he asked in a trembling tone.
"It’s that you Mr. Hutton?"
While still having a light smile on his face, Hutton replied calmly.
"Yes it’s me Hamilton"
