Chapter 1287: Meaty?
“Actually, you came to interview for the position of the lady boss?” Irina smiled at Hannah.
Mag stole a glance at Irina. He felt the threat hidden under that smile.
“I…” Hannah choked on her words. Although that was indeed what she was thinking, she didn’t expect to be found out. Her gaze fleeted to Mag, and she weakly said, “I just want to find a job that I like.”
“Alright. We have understood your situation, Miss Hannah. We will consider your application. We will be posting out the specific details later in the afternoon. You can take a look at it then.” Mag smiled. In order to ensure the personal safety of this succubus, he felt it was necessary to end this interview as soon as possible.
“Alright.” Hannah stood up and left. Under the gaze of that elf, she felt as if she had been seen through, and that feeling was horrible.
After Hannah got out of the restaurant, a cold breeze blew at her and she shuddered.
“Big Sister, your coat.” Anna passed Hannah the coat that she was holding.
“Thank you.” Hannah took it and put it on with a confident smile on her face again. She sashayed and left as if she had already gotten the job.
“Next…” Anna took out the list and called out the next interviewee.
“Hey, Mister, your powder isn’t evenly spread, your beard isn’t cleanly shaved, and a corner of the mantou[1] is showing. Isn’t this too much, trying to cheat us by dressing in drag when you look like this?” Mag said when he saw a drag queen who had a thick layer of white powder and two exaggerated fake eyelashes on her face, pinching her throat as she spoke in a hoarse voice, and sitting with her legs closed. He couldn’t help being sarcastic.
He snuck a glance at Shirley at the side. This was the perfect example of a drag queen, okay? She was so realistic.
“Are your fake eyelashes made of donkey hair?” Irina asked curiously.
“Y-you people are bullies… Boohoohoo…” That mister ran away, covering his face.
“Next,” Mag said calmly.
“Are you sure you have filled your information correctly?” Mag asked doubtfully as he looked at the information which stated height 165, weight 85, and then looked at a chubby maiden who resembled a little meat bun that was stuffed into the chair.
“Maybe the 1 in the weight box was written on the line, and you didn’t read it close enough…” that maiden weakly said.
Mag looked closer again. Indeed, at the weight box, a vertical stroke could be seen on the box. It was done so obviously that he couldn’t help but chuckle. “You are such an imp.”
“Although I don’t look very slender, I am only 18 years old, which is the age of youth and beauty in full bloom. You see, do I look like a flower?” The chubby maiden put her hands under her chin and shook her head left and right.
“Meaty?” Irina asked.
That maiden froze instantly. Although being meaty was rather cute, she was… still too round!
The restaurant fell into a silence instantly. The ladies all turned their heads around and tried to stifle their laughter.
The comments made by the combination of Boss and Princess Irina were so snarky that they couldn’t join in at all.
“Young lady, the work in Mamy Restaurant is very intense, so it may not be suitable for you now,” Mag said as he, too, tried to hold in his laughter.
The weight wasn’t a big issue, but Mag didn’t like the fact that she deliberately gave misleading information. Furthermore, judging from the way that she panted after walking those few steps from the door, her body condition obviously couldn’t match the restaurant’s work intensity, so he had already struck her off from the list.
“Next. Vansa… Hmm?” Mag was slightly taken aback when he read this familiar name. Is this the pseudonym of Princess Vanessa? Why did she register too?
This name list was screened by Anna according to his requirements. He didn’t take a closer look, as he was too busy yesterday, so he didn’t discover that Princess Vanessa had registered herself too.
Currently, Mamy Restaurant was already full of princesses. However, most of these princesses had fallen onto hard times, and were taken in by him. But this princess of Roth Empire was different, for she was highly favored by the king. If he found out that Vanessa was working in Mamy Restaurant, he would definitely conduct a thorough check on the restaurant immediately.
Mag was still in the midst of his thoughts when the door opened and Vanessa walked in. The door closed gradually, and kept Lola’s nervous expression out too.
“How do you do? I am Vansa.” Vanessa curtseyed elegantly as she lifted her skirts up. Her hands were grasping the skirts so tightly that they looked pale. She had only read about job interviews in books, and never thought she would be facing one herself one day. She was feeling so nervous that her heart was beating wildly.
She raised her head and her gaze landed on Irina. She blinked as she was startled. After she was sure that she didn’t make a mistake, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, “Big Sister Irina!”
“Isn’t this Little Sasa? What are you doing here?” Irina was stunned to see Vanessa too. This lass always went to play with her whenever she went to Rodu in the past, so she had sort of watched her grow up. She didn’t expect to meet her again in Chaos City.
“I…” Vanessa was a little hesitant. She didn’t want to expose her identity, but she didn’t know how to lie. She wasn’t very adept when it came to lying.
Irina seemed to have read Vanessa’s thoughts as she waved her hand, and casually said, “It’s fine. It’s not embarrassing if you are kicked out because you are ugly.”
“Mm-hm…” Vanessa nodded in slight exasperation. Only Big Sister Irina could come up with such a reason. However, when she saw Irina sitting next to Mag, she couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Then, why are you here, Big Sister Irina?”
“I came to eat and then decided to join in the fun,” Irina said nonchalantly.
“Oh, I see.” Vanessa nodded, enlightened. She didn’t suspect anything at all.
She believed her just like this? Mag raised his eyebrows. He was still pondering on how to explain why Irina was here.
“Miss Van… sa, did you come to be interviewed for joining the restaurant’s service staff?” Mag glanced through the information. Vanessa’s qualities did fit the requirements that Mag had set up, so it made sense that Anna chose her. However, although she dared to work here, he didn’t dare to keep her.
“Yes. Boss Mag. I like Mamy Restaurant, so I want to become one of you. I think this will be a very interesting experience.” Vanessa nodded seriously with a sparkle in her eyes. She had come for the interview behind Abraham’s back.
“Hmm…” Mag hemmed and hawed. Looking at Vanessa’s sparkling eyes, he didn’t know what excuse he should use to reject this princess who looked forward to working so much.
Irina pointed at a stack of plates on a tray on a table at a side, and said, “Pick up this stack of plates and walk 10 rounds in the restaurant.”
There were about 15 of them, and they were all different. They were about the number of plates that were cleared from one table during service time.
“Alright.” Vanessa went forward excitedly and reached out to carry that tray.
It’s so heavy! Although she lifted that tray, it was so heavy that Vanessa felt as if her arms were going to break. Although she tried to walk straight, every step was extremely difficult. She had only taken about 10-odd steps when she slipped, and the plates that were stacked up crashed to the floor.
