Chapter 945 Hey Uncle, I Think You“ve Got The Wrong Person?
The customers quickly found out that Mamy Restaurant had changed its service staff. The regulars liked Sally, who was stern yet efficient and elegant. They were a little sad to hear that she had left her position.
However, the new service staff member Shirley had caused quite a stir. It wasn’t easy to find another elf as beautiful as her in the entire Chaos City, yet she became Mamy Restaurant’s server. It could be considered as a consolation that she took over Sally’s job.
Harrison got close to Mag, giving him a thumbs-up, and said, “I’m really impressed with you, Boss Mag. Could you tell me where you recruit your staff from secretly? I would like to recruit a secretary.”
“I usually just go with the flow when it comes to staff recruitment.” Mag smiled before he turned and walked to the kitchen.
He couldn’t say that he picked up Yabemiya; Babla had fallen from the sky; Firis was found in the Wind Forest; and Shirley was recommended by Sally, right?
This sort of recruitment process was simply… too far-fetched. It was too embarrassing for him to even bring it up.
“Boss Mag is perfect, except he speaks too philosophically…” Harrison sighed. He was so envious of the beautiful staff that worked in the restaurant.
“Help me up. I want to see if Shirley’s still so heartless to reject me today. I’m so love-sick because I can’t be with my love,” a pale Constantine said weakly in a luxurious horse-drawn carriage.
“Why are you doing this to yourself, Master?” A middle-aged man, who seemed to be a butler, extended his arms and helped him up. He said with a hint of helplessness, “Miss Shirley doesn’t even know that you have been going to Mamy Restaurant daily to wait for her. You can’t blame her for being heartless. This is a one-sided love, she doesn’t have any feelings for you.”
Constantine’s expressions froze momentarily, and he turned to look at the butler. He said with a vibrato, “You… You… are sprouting nonsense! Even though I have only seen Miss Shirley twice, I’m sure that she is the only woman for me in this life. No matter what, I’m going to find her and express my love for her. Otherwise, I would rather die!”
“What if she turned you down?” the butler asked rhetorically.
“I…” Constantine’s face flushed instantaneously, and he angrily said, “Nonsense! W-why would she turn me down! I love her reverently with all of my heart. I would even give up my life for her. Why would she turn me down? This would absolutely not happen. She will definitely fall in love with me!”
“This isn’t how love works.” The butler sighed. He helped Constantine out of the carriage with a resigned expression.
“There would be no meaning in me living if I couldn’t see Miss Shirley again. I would rather die and be reborn as a butterfly that follows her around so I could see her daily,” Constantine said sadly.
Just as he looked up, he saw a woman in a white top and red dress in the midst of clearing a table behind the glass.
“Miss Shirley!” Constantine’s eyes lit up immediately, but he blinked shortly after. He tagged the butler, and said with a tinge of nervous happiness, “Did you see Miss Shirley? Or am I hallucinating? Why is Miss Shirley working in Mamy Restaurant as a server?”
The butler looked into the restaurant, and then nodded. “If that beautiful lady elf is indeed Miss Shirley, then you are right, Master.”
“Excellent! Let’s go in…” Constantine beamed. He felt that strength had returned to his legs, and swiftly walked toward the restaurant’s entrance.
“Calm down, Master. This is Mamy Restaurant. We need to queue to enter.” The butler quickly grabbed Constantine. He pouted his lips at the queue to emphasize his point.
Constantine looked at the people in the queue who were staring at them in an unfriendly manner, and calmed down immediately. He almost forgot he was at Mamy Restaurant. If he cut the queue, he would be blacklisted and banned from the restaurant in the future.
Although he didn’t know why Shirley was working in Mamy Restaurant as a service staff member, Constantine was exhilarated. If this was real, then he would be able to see Miss Shirley every day. This was euphoria.
He walked all the way to the back of the queue and joined in. Constantine, who seemed to be very feeble in the beginning, was very energetic now, just as if he just had a booster. He didn’t require the butler to prop him up anymore. He stared at Shirley with his bloodshot eyes, and his heart felt as sweet as if it had fallen into a pot of honey.
Miss Shirley must have remembered me, right?
No, she should be as lovesick for me as I am for her. Otherwise, why would she become a server, given her beauty and status? She has gone to such lengths just to see me. It’s so hard on her.
It must be this. I haven’t expected Miss Shirley to be such an attentive lady. I’m deeply touched, and I have to make my feelings known to her today. I have to tell her that I love her too!
Don’t worry, Miss Shirley. I know all about your feelings for me, Constantine thought in his heart. His face became increasingly flushed, and he began to take in deeper breaths.
The queue moved forward slowly. Finally, it was Constantine’s turn.
He straightened his clothes and took a deep breath. Constantine tried his best to calm down before he pulled open the door. Bang! The door crashed into his forehead.
“Ouch!”
Constantine covered the bump on his forehead. He was seeing stars in front of him.
The customers still in the queue tried to hide their laughter by covering their mouths with their hands, while those in the restaurant looked over curiously, trying to see who was the idiot that managed to crash into the door in such a manner.
“Someone’s here to cause trouble?” Shirley was also sizing up Constantine at the door. Apart from taking over Sally’s job, she also promised to protect the restaurant. Did she have to act so soon?
“Miss Shirley is looking at you, Master,” the butler reminded him softly.
Constantine straightened up instantly. He felt the pain had disappeared in that instant, and the stars were gone. He blinked and happened to gaze straight into the face that occupied his mind day and night.
Constantine took two steps forward with a lovestruck gaze, and said to Shirley, “Miss Shirley, I know all about your feelings. I didn’t expect that you miss me as much as I miss you. I feel your pain. Let me protect you!”
The restaurant was silent. Everyone was staring at the two people standing at the entrance and guessing about their relationships and possible grievances. It got many of the customers’ fiery gossipy souls burning wildly.
Shirley looked at Constantine, who sported a bump on his forehead, and frowned. She calmly said, “Hey Uncle, I think you’ve got the wrong person. I don’t know you.”
