"Boss Mag is not just the boss of Mamy Restaurant. He's also the restaurant's chef. One could say that he's the best chef in this world," Randy explained with a smile when he saw Betty look at Mag.

Betty retracted her gaze with a gentle laugh, and said, "I heard experience and skills are very important to a chef. One cannot be a great chef without decades of experience. I didn't expect him to be a master chef at such a young age."
"That is perhaps talent." Randy chuckled helplessly. "I've been to many places, tasted many scrumptious dishes by many chefs, and interacted with many people, but I've never met a chef like Boss Mag. Every one of his dishes is a signature dish, but he is still constantly innovating, and bringing surprises to his customers."
Betty looked at Randy with an impressed expression. She had, in fact, passed the age in which she liked men who boasted about themselves. Instead, she was more impressed with men who knew how to appreciate others.
"Let's sit here." Randy found a four-person table near a floor-to-ceiling window. He pulled the chair out for Betty first before sitting across from her.
"This is a good seat." Vicennio sat down with Bonnie.
Bonnie wrapped her arms around Betty's arm as soon as she sat down, and whispered next to her ear, "How is it? Do you like him?"
Betty blushed slightly. She stole a glance at Randy, who was chatting with Vicennio, and nodded slightly.
Bonnie said smilingly, "Tsk. Beggars can't be choosers indeed. Bring him away with you later. We won't hold you back. My husband and I have to go back to attend to some urgent matters."
Betty naturally knew what was the urgent matter that her friend was referring to. She blushed deeper, and glared at her coyly.
"You don't have to envy me. Isn't there one available if you want?" Bonnie gestured towards Randy with her gaze smilingly.
Randy froze a little. He suddenly wondered if he would be like Vicennio in the future, and would have to come to Mamy Restaurant to nourish his kidneys daily.

After the lunch service was over, Mag made himself a pot of tea, and brought the lounge chair to the restaurant's entrance. He covered himself with a wool blanket, and napped comfortably under the warm winter sun.
There was a slightly smaller lounge chair next to his, and Annie was lying on it. She was looking at him with her big eyes.
Ugly Duckling snuggled at her feet. It raised its head to yawn before burying its head back in the soft blanket again. It closed its eyes, and began to snore.
Mag turned to look at Annie before saying inwardly, "Omnipotent System, when can you develop a miracle drug that can make Annie speak?"
The system seemed to be rather flattered by Mag's praise, and said, "This System... is indeed omnipotent. However, her problem is more complex, and cannot be resolved with one or two pills. After a series of studies, this System discovered that there is a Fragrant Deer that lives on the Fragrant Island located in the Staro Sea. If we use its antlers as medicine, perhaps it could have some therapeutic effect on her mutism."
"Staro Sea, Fragrant Island, Fragrant Deer." Mag remembered this information. Regardless if it was indeed useful, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would try it out for Annie.
Communication would be quite difficult for the young lady if she couldn't speak for the rest of her life. Moreover, she might never be able to make new friends.
