"There are so many people in the restaurant, and I've also hired helpers."

Only then did Minerva look at the restaurant's decoration. It seemed that some European elements were added. The lights intertwined with each other, giving people a feeling of being in Europe. After inspecting the restaurant, Minerva felt that by having food in this restaurant, no matter whether the food was delicious or not, she could feel like she was in a foreign and exotic place. "The decorations..."

"Mommy, Daddy, you're here too?"

A childish voice suddenly sounded.

Minerva was interrupted and she looked in the direction of the source of the voice.

Beanie was carrying a small plate of food in his hand as he stood rooted to the spot and watched them in surprise. She was also stunned. She saw that he was not wearing his usual clothes, but a work outfit instead.

However, his work clothes were adorable, which made him look particularly small, yet delicate and cute.

Seeing him in this apparel, Minerva felt her heart soften owing to his cute appearance. She wanted to scream out loud, then hug him in her arms and squeeze his face!

That was because he was way too cute!

However, there were too many customers in the shop, and this was Vera's restaurant. Such behavior was really inappropriate!

Therefore, she had no choice but to refrain herself.

"What do you think? I've ordered a special outfit for Beanie. Isn't it cute?" Vera and Minerva had known each other for so many years. Naturally, she could read Minerva's emotions and see the excitement on her face. When Vera first saw Beanie dressed like this, she was also very excited. Then, she had him take a lot of pictures together with all kinds of poses.

She didn't stop until he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yup!" Minerva continuously nodded in agreement with Vera's thoughts. "It's really adorable!"

Beanie, who was still holding a food tray in his hands, walked outside while saying, "Daddy, Mommy, please wait for me here for a while. I am going to serve the food." "No problem!" Minerva waved at him and said softly, "Be careful."

Then, everyone stared at him. After he finished delivering the dishes, the three girls at one of the tables saw him and instantly exclaimed.

"Oh my god, what a lovely boy! Are you working here?"

"Oh my god, this boy is so cute and handsome, and he works here? This is so unfair!"

"Little cutie, can we take a picture?"

Beanie politely refused them, "I'm sorry, beautiful ladies. My mommy will be jealous."

One of the girls replied, "Ouch, I've actually been rejected by such a handsome little boy. I want to cry into my pasta, and none of you are allowed to stop me."

"It's okay, we won't stop you. After seeing such a handsome and cute boy, we won't blame you!"

"What a bad friend! You really hurt me since you don't appreciate a good friend like me!"

The group of the girls at that table were still students. They were lively and particularly energetic, and most of them were making fun of each other when they talked. Looking at them from a distance, Minerva thought of the days when she was still in school and also when she was with Sylvia.

Back then... All these things had not happened.

She and Sylvia used to be... best friends.

She didn't expect that everything would change owing to the passage of time.

Just as she was feeling sad alone, a cold and oppressive voice sounded behind her. "He's going to work here for you?"

When they heard the voice, they all instantly turned to the person who was speaking.

It was Maddox. He had no expression on his face and his tone was so apathetic that no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.

Who would dare to conjecture the

mind of the boss of Yardley Corporation? At the very least, no one else dared to do so other than Minerva. Furthermore, Vera had worked in the Yardley Corporation before. Even if she had been good friends with Minerva for so many years, the trauma that he had

caused her would never vanish.

No matter how gentle and affectionate he was when he was with Minerva, it was only limited to her.

They, who were the outsiders, wouldn't have such treatment at all.

Therefore, after hearing Maddox's words, everyone who was present, except for Minerva and Sam, were startled.

This was especially so for Vera, and she spoke in a panic.

"No, no, he just thought it was fun. I just opened a restaurant and he came here to play for two or three days. Young Master Yardley, you are joking... How could I let Beanie work here? This kind of place... is not suitable for him."

Minerva came back to her senses and frowned. She looked at Maddox unhappily.

He had only asked casually and had no other intention. However, it was probably due to his aura that made others be subconsciously afraid of bes him. Now that Vera had spoken so softly and nervously, Minerva as her friend, was naturally displeased.

Under her glare, Maddox felt helpless in his heart. He could only sigh. "I was just asking. Don't be so nervous."

Everyone stayed silent.

David and Mabie looked at each other and did not speak.

After Minerva was done glaring at Maddox, she hugged Vera's arm with a smile. "It's alright. I think it's good to let Beanie train here. Let him help you here."

Vera's lips twitched and said awkwardly, "No way,

Minerva. Even if you agree, I wouldn't. Beanie will only stay here for a few days. Later, he will have to go back to school. I don't dare to obstruct his future, and using child labor is against the law." Everyone knew this, but they didn't say it out loud.

"Well, that's fine too. Then let him stay with you for a few more days. We'll let him go back to school a bit later. There's no need to rush." Minerva patted Vera's hand, indicating for her not to be nervous or worried.

Vera was indeed frightened earlier, but when she saw that Minerva was able to handle Maddox so quickly, she heaved a sigh of relief. "Minerva, thank you."

Vera whispered into her ear. Minerva wanted to say something, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of Sam, who was standing beside her.

He had been here for a long time, but he did not say a word to Vera. Furthermore, at this moment, he kept staring at Vera.

If she didn't do anything, would she seem too heartless?

After all, Sam had helped her and Maddox a lot in recent years. Thinking of this, she said, "You don't have to be so polite to me. The gifts from me and Maddox are on the table. I'm going to look around your restaurant. There are seats on the second en.Narugis.net

floor, right?"

Speaking of this, she tugged Maddox's sleeve before saying, "Let's go to the second floor and have a look."

Naturally, he would agree to her requests. "Okay."

Thus, they went to the second floor. David and Mabie kept looking at them until...

"Sam? You're here too?"

In fact, Vera had noticed him long ago. When she saw him, she naturally remembered the last time they met. The words she said at that time were still vivid in her mind. She didn't know whether her words had hurt him.
