Chapter 1164

"Did your housekeeper come from the agency that I recommended you?" Susanne inquired.

"Of course!"

That lady added with a wry smile, "I didn't understand his actions at first.Since his pay is a lot higher
than those in the same trade, there's no reason for him to do something like that.

Initially, I thought he needed money because of an emergency back home.

As he has become a confidant of mine, I wanted to help him.

After I questioned him, do you know what his reason was?"

When she held everyone in suspense, her friends urged, "Quick, tell us!"

Laughing, she explained, "He said that the food was just too fragrant and exquisite looking." Susanne
was astounded.

Another friend asked, "Is he exaggerating? Is it really that good?"

That lady nodded.

"He only ate one of the dishes and left the other untouched.Out of curiosity, I tried it and was blown
away! I'm sure all of you are aware that I'm not one to have leftovers.But, I made an exception in this
case by finishing the leftovers from the night before"

The other ladies looked at her in disbelief.

After all, eating leftovers in their circle was entirely unheard of.



"It sounds like the food there is really good.Why don't we go there for lunch?" one of them suggested.

That lady who ate the leftovers shook her head.

"When I sent my housekeeper to inquire in the morning, he told me there was already a line since
dawn.If we really want to go there, I'm afraid we might have to line up for a few days before we get our
turn."

Another lady sitting across from Susanne remarked casually, "Can't we just pay more and reserve the
entire place?"

That lady pursed her lips.

"Do you think that didn't cross my mind? Even when I offered them two hundred thousand, they still
turned me down."

At that moment, the group fell into an uproar.

"How can they reject two hundred thousand for reserving the whole place for lunch? Who do they think
they are?"

"The owners have to be financially strong not to be tempted by two hundred thousand."

"After hearing what you said, I'm curious to go and try.After all, I've not heard of a restaurant where one
needs to start lining up at dawn."

"Actually, I'm not thinking about the food, but more of the business opportunity.Taking into consideration
how great the dishes taste and how booming their business is, why don't we talk to the owner and
acquire some shares? We can open up a few more branches together and perhaps be able to make a
small profit from it.What do all of you think?"



Just as everyone came to an agreement, they turned toward Susanne, who had been silent the whole
time, and asked, "Susanne, what do you think? Are you interested?"

"I..."

She was filled with mixed emotions.

Although she knew Ariclle's ravioli was delicious and that she could not have enough of them, she
never expected Maureen's Kitchen to achieve such fame.

Pondering over the matter, she realized that Arielle had never disgraced her in whatever she had done,
including the new restaurant.

As a result, she considered consenting to their marriage and dropped her attempts at getting them
divorced.

One of her friends continued, "Susanne, since all of us have so much free time on our hands, why don't
we use this restaurant to keep ourselves busy? What do you think?"

Clearing her throat, Susanne affected a puzzled look and asked, "What was the name of the restaurant
you mentioned just now?"

"Maureen's Kitchen! Are you interested in joining us to be shareholders? Although it might be too small
of a sum to interest you, it would certainly be fun as a pastime."
