Chapter 23: CHAPTER 23

PRECIOUS TIMEWords: 7167

The cafe closed at half past nine.

After coming out of the cafe, Alan had been standing outside the restaurant.

There was a standing sign of the hot pot restaurant next door, which barely blocked him.

He heard Pete's confession and Jeff's answer.

But a bunch of fireworks went out before it volleyed.

Pete deliberately asked such a sentence.

He looked at Pete coldly, thinking that he was really naive.

They were all rejected, and he didn't know what Pete was happy about.

However, although the technique was naive, it was very useful and Alan was indeed hurt by Jeff's phrase 'what does it have to do with him'.

He once again reluctantly confirmed that Jeff didn't like him and that Jeff's gentle smile every time they met was just a compromise, not for him as a person.

Alan was depressed.

This kind of depression has never appeared in his life. He is the proud son of heaven. He has attracted much attention since he was a child.

Life goes smoothly. He has hardly experienced any challenges. He has never been with Way Supanut before that make him feel like this.

But Jeff Thanapon became his exception.

Obviously, he looks so soft but he is harder than anyone else.

It was the same at the time of the divorce. When he said he was going to leave, he really disappeared silently.

Alan thought he had thrown Jeff away as a burden all these years but he did not know when Jeff was planted in his heart.

After the reunion, he thought that he should still despise Jeff as before but he couldn't control himself to be attracted by the brand-new Jeff Thanapon, especially after knowing that he had misunderstood him back then.

Inside the restaurant, what Jeff and Pete were still talking about, Alan couldn't hear clearly.

He saw Jeff about to turn around and subconsciously hid behind the stand.

In fact, there were many loopholes in the way of hiding but because Jeff was slightly drunk, who has just been confessed in person, he feels a little dizzy for the time being so Alan was not found.

When Alan walked out from behind the standing card, what he saw was Jeff holding Lil Rak who had fallen asleep and stood shoulder to shoulder with Pete.

Alan stood there for a long time before leaving.

Eversince then Pete didn't see Alan in the cafe again but it wasn't because of what Jeff said, it's because of Alan's projects in other cities suddenly goes wrong.

He had to leave Ratchathewi for a few days to follow up.

Although Alan hadn't heard anything from his father in the first two days, Alan couldn't guarantee what Tony would do next.

He approached Charlie and asked him to take care of Jeff and immediately notified him if something happened.

As a result, a strange guest suddenly appeared in Jeff's small restaurant.

Arrived at nine o'clock in the morning, the boy ordered a cup of tea and then started playing on the computer.

Then ordered a fried rice at noon and sat for more than an hour.

Kim approached Jeff, "Boss, look at that person, it's so strange..."

Jeff only noticed the tall and bespectaled boy who seemed to be at most twenty years old.

He was extremely thin, his skin was not as pale as bloodless and he was wearing headphones, looking at the computer screen intently with a plate of untouched fried rice beside him.

It was a bit strange but it was nothing out of ordinary.

Jeff said to the Kim, "Go and add some tea to his cup."

Kim did as told and the boy said thank you to him.

Kim pointed to Jeff.

The boy raised his head and smiled at him, Jeff also gave him a smile.

Suddenly, the person at the innermost table in the store uttered a scream and exclaimed,

"Boss! Why are there cockroaches in your dish?!"

"Damn, I just ate that dish! What the hell is this restaurant, the hygiene is so bad!"

There were three middle-aged men sitting at the table. They were sturdy, unfamiliar faces and they looked violent.

Jeff was a little embarrassed but he still walked over and leaned forward to look.

Before he could see clearly, the table was turned over with a bang, the plate broke to the ground.

Jeff was stunned.

Lil.Rak, who was playing with toys was so frightened that he cried.

Jeff hurriedly sent the baby to the back kitchen for the chefs to take care of him.

He walked out again and was caught before he said a word.

The middle-aged man gave a shoving and he took a few steps back and almost fell.

"Are you not going to be responsible for this?"

Another man fanned the rest of the tables at the store. "The sanitation of this store is too bad. It's such a big cockroach. No wonder I had diarrhea after I came home for a meal here last time. Shouldnt have come here again!"

The diners talked a lot and some acquaintances who came to eat often refuted it speaking up for Jeff, "We often eat here. The dishes here are clean and delicious. Nothing like this has ever happened."

The middle-aged man immediately stared at them and slapped at the table, "What do you mean, you said I'm talking nonsense here, right?"

He has a fierce look so that beard and stare are even more scary.

The customers immediately silenced, seeing this posture is getting more and more troublesome.

The remaining diners did not dare to say anything, and one after another walk away.

Soon the table of middle-aged men and the boys just now were the only one left in the shop.

The boy sat still in his position and didn't seem to see any movement around him.

He lowered his head and sent a text message.

Before Alan arrived at the airport, he received a text message from Charlie.

"P'Alan, someone is making trouble for my sister-in-law."

Alan immediately sat upright and whispered to the driver, "Go back."

Jeff stepped forward, "Sorry, it's the fault of our shop. Let's go to the hospital to check it out. I will pay for it."

"Which hospital to go to?" The middle-aged man shouted sharply, "I already eat it all. What can you find out?"

Jeff understood in his heart that they want to frame him.

He has been in the store for so long and the customers are all from the surrounding residents and college students in the university town.

He has never had any problems with his food.

The first time he encountered this kind of thing, he was a little panicked.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Compensation, don't you understand the mental damage?" The middle-aged man rolled his eyes impatiently and then sat on the seat in front of Jeff, with his legs wide open.

The deputy gangster acted, "I was happy to eat and now my mood is completely ruined, you have to pay!"

Jeff was taken aback, and then asked, "How much compensation do you want?"

The middle-aged man stretched out two fingers. His hand shook, "Fifty thousand baht ."

Jeff thought that if it could be solved with money, it would be fine.

But if the compensation was paid but they still keep on making trouble, then Jeff.

Jeff take a deep breath, he couldn't believe it.

"Fifty thousand?"

"Yes, not too much, right." the middle-aged man digs his ears with his little finger, "If I didn't think your business is not good, I would not think it was too little for 50,000 baht! "

"Fifty?" The boys on the side suddenly laughed," You put that cockroaches in the meal and he have to pay fifty thousand for compensation? "
