"So, you want to build a cafe, in my understanding, right?" Shawn look very confuse with my suggestion on what I want to do.
The solution that I thinking is to make a café similar to Japan Café that is butler and maid café. I think with my knowledge we can make a stir on this world cuisine.
"So you want to ask me and Isaac to give you money to make this, ugh... I don't know what to say, uhmm... butler café?"
"Yep. Rather than give me money, I want you to give fund and when this project is successful, I can return the money back to you. The right term is becoming a shareholder in this little company. So what do think?"
"Oh, I get it but the shareholder things, what's that?"
"In a company, there is an executive's board which consist of several shareholders that hold power. They can share ideas about the future of the company and also have power to select new president for the company. Do you understand about that?"
"Wow, that's the first I have heard about that."
"Yeah, me too. Even though I have heard about company but I never heard about this shareholder things." Mom looks curios about this board that I have been telling them.
"There are also other things that I want to tell but maybe next time. So, my idea about the café... how about it?"
"I think, maybe I will give it a go... how about you guys?" Yes, mom had given her green light; I hope both of them willing to help me.
"If Maria thinks that this business can be successful, may it doesn't hurt to give it a try." Shawn look interested and for Isaac,
"You know what, I will help you" and this is the start of my little company, Red Moon Company.
______________
Since then, the Red Moon Café project has been done and situated near the hectic plaza. During the construction of it, we had advertise about the new café and how different it from other places. The main aim is to attract the nobles for new things and it quite successful because mom's friends are asking about the café.
With help from Isaac and Shawn, I have done dealing with worker's problem. Mom helps creating the menu and also advertising the cafe among her friends during tea party.
"Are you guys ready about tomorrow opening day?" I am happy with the good movement of the project
"Yes, miss Maria."
"You guys can rest for now because tomorrow we are gonna busy for the whole day." And my premonition is damn right because right now, this place is full of customer.
Most of the words I hear are;
'I never see any place like this',
'The service is so good that I want to come again',
'This place is different from any place that I ever visit',
'The foods is so good that I want to eat it every day' and so on. For the first day, we had a good start. I hope for the upcoming days, it will be as good as the first day.
________________
I think that I might underestimate this world's people. Not because the café don't have customer but it was vice versa. The café is full of people that might cause a little stir of commotion.
Because of list of foods is new to people and the price is affordable, the civilian always argued with the nobles about how they, the nobles got more attention than the civilian. So, they request to us to make a second restaurant. And we did it.
The second café is not so café because by mom proposal, we make it as restaurant.
"Thank goodness they make other café. Right now, we can eat peacefully without the nobles" is what they say in the first café and
"Oh my goodness, finally we can eat without the bothering of bunch of smelly citizen" is what the nobles said after the second restaurant is finish built.
_______________
"Mom, I don't think it's good to differentiate the status between the citizen and nobles. I really don't like to create any more bad rift between them."
"I know, I also don't like to this but I think its better rather than having a fight in the café right."
"Okay, I understand." And since that there is no quarrel happening. The news about the first wife of the prime minister creating a new foods haven is spread throughout the empire and because of that, we receive unpleasant news.
During the rush hour at the second restaurant, me and mom have to handle something about the management of it and that's when,
"Knock, knock... Madam Angeline and Miss Maria, are you there?" A worker suddenly came knocking the office door. It is quite shock because it have been busy during this time
"Yes, comes in." mom let the worker in and ask him what's the need for him to come to the office.
"The prime minister is here with his family. Is what he say and yeah, it is very shock as I wondering, he had time to come here huh... ughhhh... *( - _ - )
"Okay, thanks for the information. Jack, do we have extra space for them?"
"About that, that's the reason why I came here. The place is full and the kitchen staff's hand is full from preparing the order from the customer. And also for the next two hour, we are so full that we really don't have any empty seating. I really don't know how to handle it." Rion or the manager for the second restaurant is having a mild breakdown because of the sudden arrival of that asshole father.
"You don't have to worry 'bout it. I will handle them. Right now you focus on helping other staff, can you do it?"
"Yes, I can miss. I will leave for now."
"Btw, thanks for the info Jack."
"You are welcome." Jack was heading back to help others and I and mom had other plans to handle that jerk.
When we head to the ground level, which is when I saw my father and his beloved family. But I don't see my elder brother and twin brother. Maybe they just left them.
"Wow, such a beautiful interior for the restaurant." The concubine is giving praises when she saw the inside of the restaurant.
"Oh my, thanks for the praises. My daughter had created the design for this... " Mom was quite bewildered but she managed it when Catherine interrupt
"Why we can't already enter the restaurant?" The beloved daughter has start to brawl because she can't stand the heat from the outside
"I am sorry, even though you find time to come here, but the place is full until the next four hour, so do you want to wait or what?" mom
"What? Daddy, I want to enter right now, I don't care about other people,"
"Can't you make space for us?" Father seems like begging but I think he was instructing us to do that...
"I am sincerely sorry but there is no way I will let people leave just to make space for you. Right now, please go back home and make other appointment, okay."
People had already watching us argument and this is not a good sign...
"How dare you try making us leave? You built the restaurant using father money, making this also the family restaurant and father as the owner of it. You dare to do that?" Catherine really loves to make other people mad huh...
"What the heck do you say? This restaurant is DO NOT BELONG TO YOU, OKAY. This is mine and mom business and we are using our money not father's money, do you understand that, you sheltered princess."
"You..." is what she want to say but,
"ENOUGH!!!" Wow, he uses his dominance to stop upcoming fight between me and the heroine.
"But father..." like usual, the begging of the heroine has start but
"We can go other days when there is less people, isn't that right Angeline?" He glared at mother but she looks like she doesn't care about it.
"Yes, that true but I am sorry. I have confirmed the booking slots and our place is full till few weeks, so really, I don't know when it is less people..."
"Urghh, then when will be..." father look so obliviously frustrated and it him harder when I said...
"Next month. Next month is quite free so you came when the time arrive okay." When I said that, all of them look a little bit furious but do I care...NOPE
After the commotion, they just left the place. They look so furious but I am feeling so good that I had a little announcement for every customer,
"Today, each table got a special dessert for free as the way we want to apologize for the commotion that happen." I must handle the situation with care to avoid any bad rumours lingering the restaurant.
The customer looks happy when they got the special services from us. Well that's important to set a good impression to them.
Now, I have handled the first ending well. Right now, I have to think about the second and third ending as well. Less than four years to go before entering the magic academy.
