    Chapter 1164 Buying Shares


    “Did your housekeepere from the agency that I rmended you?” Susanne inquired.


    “Of course!” Thatdy added with a wry smile, “I didn’t understand his actions at first. Since his pay is a


    lot higher than those in the same trade, there’s no reason for him to do something like that. Initially, I


    thought he needed money because of an emergency back home. As he has be a confidant of


    mine, I wanted to help him. After I questioned him, do you know what his reason was?”


    When she held everyone in suspense, her friends urged, “Quick, tell us!”


    Laughing, she exined, “He said that the food was just too fragrant and exquisite looking.”


    Susanne was astounded. Another friend asked, “Is he exaggerating? Is it really that good?”


    Thatdy nodded. “He only ate one of the dishes and left the other untouched. Out of curiosity, I tried it


    and was blown away! I’m sure all of you are aware that I’m not one to have leftovers. But, I made an


    exception in this case by finishing the leftovers from the night before.”


    The otherdies looked at her in disbelief.


    After all, eating leftovers in their circle was entirely unheard of.


    “It sounds like the food there is really good. Why don’t we go there for lunch?” one of them suggested.


    Thatdy who ate the leftovers shook her head. “When I sent my housekeeper to inquire in the


    morning, he told me there was already a line since dawn. If we really want to go there, I’m afraid we


    might have to line up for a few days before we get our turn.”


    Anotherdy sitting across from Susanne remarked casually, “Can’t we just pay more and reserve the


    entire ce?”


    Thatdy pursed her lips. “Do you think that didn’t cross my mind? Even when I offered them two


    Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    hundred thousand, they still turned me down.”


    At that moment, the group fell into an uproar.


    “How can they reject two hundred thousand for reserving the whole ce for lunch? Who do they think


    they are?”


    “The owners have to be financially strong not to be tempted by two hundred thousand.”


    “After hearing what you said, I’m curious to go and try. After all, I’ve not heard of a restaurant where


    one needs to start lining up at dawn.”


    “Actually, I’m not thinking about the food, but more of the business opportunity. Taking into


    consideration how great the dishes taste and how booming their business is, why don’t we talk to the


    owner and acquire some shares? We can open up a few more branches together and perhaps be able


    to make a small profit from it. What do all of you think?”


    Just as everyone came to an agreement, they turned toward Susanne, who had been silent the whole


    time, and asked, “Susanne, what do you think? Are you interested?”


    “I…” She was filled with mixed emotions.


    Although she knew Arielle’s ravioli was delicious and that she could not have enough of them, she


    never expected Maureen’s Kitchen to achieve such fame.


    Pondering over the matter, she realized that Arielle had never disgraced her in whatever she had done,


    including the new restaurant.


    As a result, she considered consenting to their marriage and dropped her attempts at getting them


    divorced.


    One of her friends continued, “Susanne, since all of us have so much free time on our hands, why don’t


    we use this restaurant to keep ourselves busy? What do you think?”


    Clearing her throat, Susanne affected a puzzled look and asked, “What was the name of the restaurant


    you mentioned just now?”


    “Maureen’s Kitchen! Are you interested in joining us to be shareholders? Although it might be too small


    of a sum to interest you, it would certainly be fun as a pastime.”
