Is There A Bun In The Oven
The following day, Sabrina brought Jaena back to Oceanic Estate.
“Mark? You’re here today? Is there anything?”
She was surprised to see Mark because he had not been showing up at the estate ever since Jonathan
retired.
Mark grinned. “Nothing much. I’m just here to accompany Old Mr. Jadeson for a hike.”
By hiking, he meant they were making a trip to Aquene Temple.
Tilting her head, Sabrina thought about her plan for the day. “Then, please bring her along.” She
pointed at the little munchkin who had run outside to the garden to play.
“Huh?” Mark was amused.
In the end, both Jonathan and Mark took the little girl along with them.
It had become Jonathan’s habit a year ago to take a trip to the mountains. Though Shin remained a
hermit, Jonathan would often pay him a visit.
Sometimes, they would have tea together. Other times, he felt contented just being able to stop by and
see Shin.
Now that Jaena was gone, Sabrina finally had some free time to herself.
“What are you up to, Sasha? I need a favor.”
“Hmm?” Sasha turned and asked. She was at the storeroom doing inventory and allocating goods for
to different parts of the house.
“What about, Sab?”
Considering how busy Sasha was, sweating profusely while having her hands full, Sabrina decided not
to bring up her question.
She pressed her lips. “Forget it, we’ll talk when you’re done. What are you doing? Are these things
going to The Ataraxy and Gossamer Creek?”
“Yup. It’s almost summer now. If we don’t find them some work to do, they would end up asking from
Oceanic Estate.”
Sasha got all worked up when she talked about them.
Since that dreadful incident, the people who remain in the Jadeson family are all too weak. Colton’s
family and Connor’s two children are the only ones left in The Ataraxy.
As for Gossamer Creek, it’s never been exceptional. When Lexi was still around, he would lead them in
some projects. Now, they are heavily relying on Oceanic Estate for assistance.
Sabrina knew that too. She was equally displeased with the current situation.
“What a bunch of rotten apples! I’ve got no idea why Grandpa insists on keeping them? Isn’t it better to
leave them to die?”
“He values family relationship, especially the root of the Jadesons. Well, he does have good
intentions.”
Sasha let out a huge sigh before continuing the work.
She had been terribly disturbed by this matter recently.
Ever since Sebastian took over the two military factories owned by the Jadesons, he managed to turn
things around successfully and quadrupled the revenues.
Unfortunately, there were still a group of useless peeps within the family, receiving and not contributing
at all. Sasha was very much affected by them.
“Hey, why don’t they go work at my bar? What do you think, Sasha? Why didn’t I think of this earlier?
I’m here today because I wanted to consult you about the poor business at my bar. I thought of picking
your brain for ideas. Let’s plan around this, create a couple more projects and expand the business.
Then, we can recruit these idling souls as manpower. What do you think?”
Folding her arms across her chest, Sabrina’s eyes lit up all of a sudden at the thought.
Sasha froze for a second.
That’s right! Why didn’t I think about this?
Instantly, she tossed the items in her hands away and exited the warehouse. The two ladies started
strategizing as they took a stroll in the garden.
Shortly after, Sasha texted the family chat group: Is everyone here? I’ve got something that I need to
seek your advice.
Sebastian: What is it?
It was everyone’s first time seeing him replying in a flash.
Sabrina: Well, we discussed this briefly at noon. There are way too many unwanted resources at the
Jadeson residence, so we’ve decided to find a better use for all of them.
Both Devin and Jonathan were left speechless.
What’s up with these two ladies and their baffling idea? Why should a reputable family like the
Jadesons do that?
In the end, Rufus chimed in to appease the situation.
Rufus:
Hold your horses and tell us more about what you have in mind.
Sabrina kept quiet.
Sasha: We’re trying to come up with something that benefits Sab’s bar. Currently, we have the intention
to venture into hotel management and the entertainment industries. Does anyone have anything else to
suggest?
Solomon: Hotel is better. Make it unique. You can look into food and beverage too, it comes in a
package. Additionally, you can create a themed restaurant, one that showcases local culture.
Ichika: Wow! Izakaya! Japanese cuisine!
Ichika suddenly appeared in the chat group and shared her two cents excitedly. Everyone could tell that
she was so thrilled.
Sabrina’s eyes gleamed.
Sabrina: Bingo! Why didn’t I think of that? That’s it, let’s do that. We can transform the bar into an
izakaya. Oh boy, I don’t think there’s one here yet. And the cuisine too! Hahaha…
Even through the screen, one could imagine how she chortled boisterously at her own message.
