Edwin looked at the signboard of the convenience store with a puzzled expression. “The restaurant you mentioned is a convenience store?” Moreover, it was a chain convenience store.
“Of course not.” This wasn’t a TV drama. Bringing a rich young master to experience the delicacies of commoners and conquering him in an instant didn’t suit Caroline’s logic.
“Aren’t convenience stores everywhere? Why did you come all the way here?” Caroline led him around the convenience store to the small building behind.
Edwin looked up and saw that there was no sign on it. He was wondering where the restaurant was when Caroline walked to a narrow iron door and knocked on the knocker three times.
Edwin immediately understood and asked in a low voice, “Is this a private restaurant?”
Private cuisine restaurants were not rare, but it was indeed rare for them to be so secretive.
In a place like this, if one wasn’t brought here by an acquaintance, ordinary people wouldn’t know that there was actually a restaurant hidden here.
“Yes.” Caroline listened carefully and felt relieved when she heard some movement in the room.
The iron door was opened with a clang. A middle-aged man poked his head out and looked suspiciously at Edwin and Caroline, as well as Oleg and the driver behind them. “Are you knocking?”
Caroline took out 3,000 yuan from her bag and handed it to him. “I booked a banquet for tonight.”
When the middle-aged man saw the 3,000 yuan, his attitude changed and he immediately revealed a big smile. “So you’re a customer. May I know your order number?”
Caroline reported a number. The middle-aged man took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, confirmed it, and then warmly invited them in.
The driver looked at the man with a rough face, a dark figure, and casual clothes. He did not look like a waiter at all. He asked Oleg worriedly, “Is it really okay to go in?”
As Edwin’s most trusted aide, Oleg had entrusted him with many things. Therefore, although he found Caroline’s identity a little unbelievable, he could more or less guess something.
If Caroline was really the legendary big shot, then she probably wouldn’t go to such great lengths to bring Edwin to such a place and put him in danger.
It wasn’t easy to tell the driver about these guesses, so Oleg only said, “Be careful later. ”
However, to their surprise, although the appearance of this private restaurant was not obvious and the waiter looked very tired, the interior decoration was quite unique.
They came in through the iron gate, and the first thing that came into view was a small courtyard that looked a little messy at a rough glance. When they looked carefully, they felt that it had a unique beauty’s beauty. Inside, there were many rockery and strange stones, as well as all kinds of unknown green plants.
It was obvious that the decorations had been carefully taken care of. It was quite different from the layout of their outer walls. The middle-aged man led them through a long corridor that was five to six meters long. Then, they turned left and arrived at the backyard.
The backyard looked slightly larger than the front yard. As usual, it was a rockery, but it was different from the rockery in front of it surrounded by green plants.
The rockery here was surrounded by a living pool, and there were many red and white koi fish swimming in it.
After going around the rockery, they could see four private rooms. The door numbers were written with Arabic numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. It was obvious that the owner of this private kitchen was a little lazy. He did not even name it.
The middle-aged waiter led them to Room 1.
Although it was called a private room, it was actually a suite with two rooms. The outer room had a comfortable sofa, a small table with desserts, and some amusement facilities. The inner room was a formal dining room with a round dining table.
After seeing Caroline and Edwin enter the inner room, Oleg and the driver sat on the sofa in the outer room, not going in to be a third wheel.
Caroline had thought that they would eat together at the same table, but seeing Oleg and the driver’s cautious attitude toward Edwin, she didn’t make things difficult for them. She turned to the middle-aged waiter and said, “Please bring me two tables of today’s menu. One table inside for two people and one table outside for three people.”
This was in consideration of the two men outside who had a bigger appetite. Caroline recommended to Edwin, “This shop has a dessert called White Coral. It tastes good. You can try it.”
Hence, she ordered another order from the waiter. “Please bring me two more White Corals.”
The middle-aged waiter was a little puzzled. “I’m sorry, but we don’t have the dessert ‘White Coral’ in our shop..”
