Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Holy Master, You’re Finally Here

Lu Xiao waited for five minutes, but no one arrived.

Not only that, but Joyce’s phone was also unreachable.

"Let’s not wait anymore, tell them to serve the dishes," Lu Xiao said to Joyce.

As if granted a pardon, Joyce immediately put down her phone and called over a waiter to instruct them to serve the dishes as quickly as possible.

As the major shareholder of the restaurant, Joyce did have some special privileges.

No sooner had she given the order than the dishes began to arrive non-stop.

Seeing that table number one was served first, the other guests didn’t have any objections; after all, table number one was reserved all year round, and only the rich or noble could sit there.

There was no point in looking for trouble.

Soon enough, the table in front of the three of them was filled with dishes, with one portion of each dish per person.

"Mr. Lu, I am really sorry, it seems the Holy Master has been held up by something. Let’s eat first, we can eat while we wait," Joyce said as she rose to pour red wine for Lu Xiao and Chen Fei.

Lu Xiao didn’t mind, as long as he had something to eat.

Moreover, the taste of the food in this restaurant seemed quite good.

Especially the lobster, which was very well-made, chewy and refreshing, and had a hint of sweetness upon closer tasting.

"Fei, the lobster is good, shall we order another portion?" Lu Xiao asked, noticing Chen Fei also fixedly eating a plate of lobster.

"No need, I still prefer eating crayfish, this is... just so-so," Chen Fei shook her head.

Crayfish were great, slurping up the juice and then removing the head and tails, dipped in garlic. That’s what’s enjoyable.

This large lobster had a good texture, but it wasn’t as satisfying to eat.

"Miss Chen, shall I have the kitchen make you a plate of crayfish?" Joyce immediately asked.

"You have crayfish here?" Chen Fei was somewhat surprised, as this was a genuine Western restaurant.

"Yes, just a moment."

Joyce called the waiter over again and gave a couple of instructions.

Fifteen minutes later, a pot of spicy crayfish was served, steaming and full of aroma.

Chen Fei didn’t hold back and quickly picked one up, dipped it into some sauce, and put it in her mouth.

"Actually, it’s very tasty," Chen Fei’s eyes showed some surprise.

"We have a Chinese chef in the kitchen, it tastes authentic, doesn’t it?" Joyce’s face was full of smiles.

At the same time, Joyce was relieved; he occasionally liked to have Chinese cuisine himself, so they had hired a Chinese chef for the kitchen. He hadn’t expected this to come in so handy today.

"Not bad at all, then I won’t be polite. Oh, and bring me an ice-cold beer," Chen Fei said, rolling up her sleeves to get ready for a feast.

She had been overseas these days, and the food had really not been to her liking.

"Of course, Miss Chen."

Lu Xiao also rolled up his sleeves and joined Chen Fei in eating lobster, drinking beer, and chatting.

When the conversation became enjoyable, they would even clink their glasses together.

Seeing the two of them so happy, Joyce also felt somewhat relieved.

This way, any bad impression caused by the Holy Master’s tardiness and no-show should be mitigated somewhat.

Ah, who knew what the Holy Master was up to; not showing up was one thing, but not answering calls either, and now it was past nine o’clock. Really ticked him off.

...

An hour later, Lu Xiao and Chen Fei finally finished off the large pot of lobster in front of them, and drank a whole pitcher of beer.

Of course, this amount of alcohol could hardly be considered more than slightly intoxicating for either of them.

"That was great, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten so comfortably," Chen Fei leaned back in her chair, unable to resist making the remark.

"Miss Chen, the restaurant is just five or six minutes away from the manor, you can come anytime, I’ll have the kitchen prepared with Chinese dishes," Joyce offered.

"Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?" Chen Fei felt somewhat embarrassed since it was after all a Western restaurant, what would it look like to serve Chinese food every day?

"Not at all, not at all, let’s agree on that, you’re welcome any time we’re ready to make it. I am truly sorry about today, I really have no idea what happened with the Holy Master," Joyce stood up, apologizing and bowing to Lu Xiao and Chen Fei.

"It’s alright, it has nothing to do with you," Lu Xiao waved his hand dismissively.

At least, Joyce knew how to host, the hospitality was excellent, and they had a great time eating.

"Then, shall I take you both back to the manor?"

Just as Lu Xiao and Chen Fei were about to get up, a figure suddenly sprinted towards them.

Quickly, the figure stopped in front of them.

It was a woman in her mid-thirties, dressed casually, with her blond hair tied up casually and a pair of silver-framed glasses on her nose.

At first glance, she looked like a young female professor from a university.

"Holy Master, you’ve finally arrived," Joyce immediately called out.
