Chapter 1119 - If I Like Boss
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
âWelcome to Mamy Restaurant.â
Mag sent away the last customer with a smile before he turned the sign on the door over. He went in, and smilingly said, âAlright, the rest of the time belongs to us now.â
Amyâs eyes lit up, and she excitedly asked, âAre we eating supper?â
Everyoneâs gazes landed on Mag.
Clap, clap.
The restaurantâs lighting suddenly became dim after Mag clapped. At the same time, a few candles were lit. Babla was pushing a small trolley out, and there was a huge ice cream cake on it. There were 18 candles on it, and right at the center was a little figurine that wore a maidâs costume which looked exactly like Yabemiya.
âHappy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to youâ¦â
Everyone began to sing the birthday song as they smiled at Yabemiya.
âT-this is?â Yabemiyaâs mouth was agape. She stared at the cake and everyone in a shock, and tears soon moistened her eyes.
Mag stepped forward to place a silver crown on her head with a smile, and said, âHappy Birthday, Miya.â
Amy jumped and happily shouted, âHappy Birthday, Big Sister Miya!â
âHappy Birthday, Miya.â Everyone said their blessings and passed her the little gifts that they had prepared.
Elizabeth gazed at the tearing Miya with a smile. Although this lass went through quite a bit of hardship in the past, she had very good companions now.
âThank you⦠Thank youâ¦â Miya nodded in reply, holding the gifts with tears in her eyes. She had to tilt her head to make sure the tears didnât fall out.
In her past, nobody cared about her birthday except for her mother, and nobody would celebrate her birthday and prepare presents for her.
Today, she had a beautiful birthday cake and all sorts of birthday presents in her arms. This extreme happiness had caught her by surprise.
âAccording to our customs, we have to eat cake on our birthday, and we can make a wish before blowing out the candles. It may come true,â Mag explained to Miya.
âYes.â Miya nodded. She placed her hands together and closed her eyes in front of the cake full of candles. She started to make a wish sincerely, and only opened her eyes after a while to blow out the candles.
The lights came on again and everyone smiled.
Mag had informed the ladies yesterday that they were going to celebrate Miyaâs birthday; only Miya had no idea about it.
âAlright, letâs cut the cake.â Mag passed the knife that was soaked in hot water to Miya.
Miya put the presents aside, and then cut up the ice cream cake into triangular pieces. She placed them on delicate plates, and gave them out to everyone.
âThis cake is so delicious,â Amy said with elation after taking a bite.
âYes. Todayâs cake seems to be even more delicious than the usual ones. Could it be that itâs Miyaâs birthday cake?â Babla nodded before swiping some cream, and rubbed it onto Miyaâs nose.
Everyone was eating the delicious cake, and it became a cake battle later. The ice cream cake felt cold on the face, and it was fun.
Happy laughter reverberated throughout the restaurant, and the ladies even started to dance the new dance that they had just learnt.
Mag was standing at a side, holding a mug of beer. This alternate worldâs birthday party was quite a success.
After the revelry, everyone cleaned up the restaurant before they left.
âThank you, Boss,â Miya said to Mag chokingly as she stepped forward to give him a tight hug.
âThis is what I should do.â Mag rubbed the head in front of his chest gently with a smile. He had picked up this lass at his doorstep, and she had always been a lovable girl.
Big Sister Miya is hugging Father, and Father is patting her head gently. Is this considered an overboard behavior? Should I note it down? Amy was deep in thought after seeing the two of them hugging.
Miya lifted her head from Magâs chest. She suddenly realized she had taken the initiative to hug her boss. She blushed and took two steps back before seriously saying, âFrom tomorrow onward, I will work even harder!â
âYou are already working very hard. Go back and have a good rest.â Mag shook his head with a smile. Miyaâs working attitude could only be described as a model worker. He would really feel bad if she worked any harder.
Everyone bade farewell.
âMiya, I am bringing you to a place.â Elizabeth halted on their way back, and turned to look at the blushing Yabemiya.
âSis, I have something to tell you too.â Miya stopped, and softly said to Elizabeth, âIf I like Boss, is there a chance that we could ever be together?â
âYou like him?â Elizabeth gazed at Yabemiya with a complicated expression. She looked angry, but seemed to have expected it.
âI donât know, either.â Yabemiya shook her head with confusion in her eyes. âBut, nobody has treated me as nicely as he.âAfter escaping from that back kitchen of that little restaurant, I thought I was going to die. He brought me delicious food, and let me stay and become part of the restaurantâs staff. It was he who told me I wasnât as bad as I thought. He taught me self-confidence and pride. It was also he who allowed me to acquire all the friends and you.â
âI donât know if Iâm really in love with him, but I think no other man will ever be as important to me in my heart as he in the future.â
Yabemiyaâs gaze became determined as she smiled at Elizabeth. âI think this may be love.â
Elizabeth looked at Yabemiya for a while with heartache. She couldnât voice out the words that she was about to say. She finally nodded after a moment of silence. âHe is indeed a good person.â
âBut, I donât intend to tell him.â Yabemiya implored Elizabeth, âCan you keep this secret for me?â
âWhy? Shouldnât you tell him about your feelings if you do like him?â Elizabeth asked perplexedly.
âNo.â Yabemiya shook her head and sighed. âFor a person as outstanding as him, only someone like Miss Gloria or Miss Luna could make a good match with him. I am just a half-dragon, and I donât know anything. I donât deserve to be with him.â
Elizabeth looked at Yabemiya who was biting her lips, and her heart suddenly constricted. She grabbed Miyaâs hands as she shook her head. âYou are not some lowly half-dragon. You are the princess of the Frost Dragon tribe, and you will become a real Golden Dragon.â
