One container and three styrofoam boxes filled the kitchen that was still empty of humans. Felix approached Timothy who had just issued a hake fish after completing business with the supplier. He took over a headless fish the size of an adult's thigh and laid it on the pantry table. While he was preparing to skin, Timothy opened another box lying on the floor. The man with the piercing in the ear immediately moved the razor clam into the basin of the stainless steel box that had been available. Then separate the flesh from the shell.
They arrived two hours earlier than the officers. Like a compact team, the two agreed to create a new menu. Being under the demands of very strict standards, they continue to try to maximize performance in order to maintain one prestigious award so as not to get out of the rankings. The Michelin Guide is like a scripture in the culinary field. The assessment greatly affects the business and profitability of the restaurant. There's no way Felix would take off the achievement.
He leaned over with his focus fixed on the slices of ensis flesh that resembled moringa leaves. Arranging so carefully on a plate using tweezers until extraordinary art is formed. As a finishing touch, he sprayed the torch gas to produce a golden brown flesh color, then two tablespoons of roasted onion broth and white birch splashed as a perfecter. Timothy who was standing by his side gave two thumbs up with a proud smile. Then they taste it, analyze the taste after touching the tongue, and nod as soon as they find an answer.
“Perfecto! The menu will be phenomenal soon. I'll make sure of that!” tell Timothy in his distinctive style of speech. His lips even seemed to be torn so wide he smiled. The opposite of Felix who only responds soberly.
“How to marry Leona, what does it feel like to be this wise?” connect the metrosexual man up and down his eyebrows. The glance of the jail did not escape highlighting Felix who was almost always expressionless. The new menu seems to bridge Timothy to tease his polar best friend this one. “So, what does it feel like to enjoy this razor clam meat, hm?” the repeat is hot, impatient.
Felix indifferently, he said, “Pahit!” Then the shadows of yesterday's events rotate in the head. Starting from Leona who adores the animal slithering, introducing him as a stepfather, to not heed his orders to bring out the green creature from his unit. The girl actually attacked back to make it high blood.
“I think she's a sweet and gentle woman puree?” the man in white uniform layered in black apron felt astonished. Timothy idolizes Leona more than Korean fanboy girl groups.
The headband was Felix's rebuttal. The man who looks similar is suspicious of the impression of his best friend. Puree which has a consistency as smooth as pasta, certainly be the best flavor for Leona who is rough and sharp as thorns.
The rarity then broke the atmosphere that was suddenly as silent as a grave. Timothy moved closer. His hand then patted Felix's shoulder higher. “Kukira there will be bloody events at night, it turns out not, huh?” ledek the bad-faced guy. Do not understand what else he is against this friend who is over static when it comes to women? “But I have prepared an ear to hear you share the experience of making love on the first night,” always, chuckling.
There was no meaning in that face. Felix didn't take Timothy seriously. He who had returned was busy processing langoustine, only concentrated on that half-finished dish.
“I don't know how to deal with this marriage as it should,” chirps after a silent storm. He took a deep breath. “What I think about is just taking advantage of the opportunity while there is.”
Timothy across the street immediately turned his head. Not interrupting, he waited for Felix to continue talking.
“Saham is safe in his hands. I can take over easily. What's more I know is he doesn't have the slightest intention of acquiring. I admit he is quite naive, therefore he does not really need this restaurant.”
Timothy's attention was entirely focused on Felix.
“You say as if you emphasize that marriage is only about business investment?”
“I didn't say that. It's just about opportunity. I can't waste it, can I?” the Executive Chef is confident. “Again, we both benefited,” he continued indifferently. Speaking of profit and loss, actually the girl who profited more than Felix. Imagine if Felix was a rude man of temper, Leona would have been chopped up because of her behavior that exceeded reasonable limits.
“In addition, our marital status also makes it easier for me to uncover the perpetrator. I can use the girl to lure him out,” explains Felix half unsure. Although his determination had been unanimous, but his heart was tickled doubtfully.
Timothy who did not stop listening, then galloped towards Felix who looked pat. As a man who is a huge fan of Leona Collins, of course, he feels unacceptable. It's good that his dearest idol is made into a predatory meal.
“Do you remember some time before your wedding?” His fiery tone did not reach the tip of the tongue. This is the hardest part of Timothy, bluffing Felix the heartless stone man. “You didn't forget, did you, how that crazy person who claimed to be your ex spread your original photo with Jessica that was clearly fake. Even before that, he accused you of being abusive, cheating, rapist. No half-heartedly he hacked your phone to the roots. Did you forget that your wife was the only person who believed and defended you madly in the media, while others humbled you like a despicable person?”
Felix wet his lips. To be honest he most dislikes taking cover behind a woman's back. However, Leona's confession that day can not be forgotten. Not only did the girl describe her life journey from seven to twenty when they were both in France, but she also attached several portraits showing how clean her lifestyle was.
If it were not for good purposes to straighten out the problem, Felix might have railed against the girl who had stolen his existence secretly. One thing he realized, behind the girl's peculiarity, was that there was a good side that could help him. Outside the Mayor's leadership, Leona was more likely to be heard because of her considerable influence in the entertainment world.
But Felix did not immediately believe. The bad news is that he has a crisis of trust, especially with a female creature.
“Then what did you say? Want to make it bait? Did I not hear wrong? Don't you know how dangerous that is? Feeding him means you're targeting him to the criminals out there. You really want to harm your own wife?” Timothy's stirring tirade instantly awakened Felix from the reverie.
Felix is indeed the best friend of the cocoon, and Tim will always be the vanguard protecting him from beings who are either real or astral. Just like one human being who only dared to flutter in the media without wanting to face Felix alone or scold him directly without involving others.
But the story is different if Felix to the fate of toppling Leona for his own sake. So a team that has high solidarity, trying to prevent. “Leona loves you like an obsessed man is right, but she never goes far to harass you.”
-:-
At lunchtime, Leona visits the restaurant. He was too confused what to do in Felix's already tidy and clean condo. Being unemployed really makes a mess. Her activities always revolve around modeling and business. Vacationing without busyness is the worst idea.
He should have known the risks of marrying a homo sapiens like Felix. Where does the man care about him who is clearly hated. His decision he never regretted. However, he did not think Felix preferred to work on the second day of marriage rather than trying to get closer to him.
After finishing the lunch set, Leona asks Sommelier to call Felix for her. It took ten minutes until the man finally came out of the kitchen. The appearance is not bad at all, instead Felix looks charming with special Chef clothes are all white. The man stood on the side of the chair, facing him.
“Do you enjoy the dishes?”
Leona pulled a smile. The man's first greeting was typical as if he were a real guest. “Still removeable as always, you cook with strong spice of love.”
Her honest sweet confession turned out to be bad. Felix looked mediocre without any reaction. Leona is not offended because she has often been treated this formal like a great guest.
“Okay, enjoy your time. I'll be back in the kitchen.” Avoiding pleasantries, Felix passed from there. Prevent Leona from intercepting her steps, but unfortunately the girl tailed behind.
“Felix, I need your time for a minute.”
The man stopped, sighed, then turned around. “What's up?”
“I have no busyness at home and .. alone.”
Leona thought the weapon was powerful, but the opposite happened. Felix doesn't care.
“Then?”
“I'm very-very lonely.”
Not giving up, Leona showed puppy eyes to shake, unfortunately it still does not work.
“What does this have to do with me?”
Started to spark. The girl scowled, thinning her lips. “Nothing! I don't know it feels so boring being unemployed!” his jolt. Acting like a child. In his mind, Felix sneered at his over-childish wife.
“You wasted my time.”
Regardless of the girl glaring at him, Felix again glared. A job in the kitchen is more important than having an unclear conversation with the attention-seeking maiden.
“What the hell is he, I am his wife, did he forget yesterday married me. His attitude never changed,” muttered the girl, spewing out all the gnawing flavors on the chest. “Look at it, I'll get you to your knees!”
Still talking to herself, Leona picked up the bag on the chair. Walk to the cashier and pay the bills. After that she completely left the restaurant, leaving her husband who worked as hard as a horse to ignore his existence.
“I have to set a new strategy.”
A smirk stretched across the face. Leona did not have to worry because her plan failed this time. Alphabet A to Z, meaning the opportunity to knock down the man's ego is still as much as he wants.
