Chapter 28 His Request Was Accepted Just Like This?

By the time Luna sent Christopher to his destination, it was already slightly after 1:00AM. Apart from those who were operating food trucks that mainly sold supper, there weren’t many pedestrians left at the public housing estate at this time. As soon as the rose-colored Porsche pulled over, it captured everyone’s attention. When she got out of the car, the way those people looked at her became even more direct—especially the men, for the flames in their eyes seemed to burn brighter than the summer sun. While he also alighted from the passenger seat, those gazes were not as friendly as before when they saw him and he could sense strong feelings of envy from their stares. “Sorry to trouble you, Ms. Sears. Thank you for sending me home at such a late hour,” Christopher expressed his gratitude, all the while not caring about how those pedestrians looked at him. At that moment, Luna, who had been sulking earlier, seemed to have gotten over her anger. She returned to her bossy self as she did at the restaurant on normal days and calmly replied, “You don’t have to thank me. Compared with the things you did in the restaurant tonight, sending you home is nothing.” In fact, the words she said were from her heart. In a situation where even Scarlett didn’t know how to make the roasted tomato risotto, Christopher definitely accomplished a phenomenal achievement by reminding Mr. Moses of the risotto’s taste in his memory. “They are two different things. Anyhow, I still have to thank you,” Christopher insisted. Upon hearing that, Luna only smiled and didn’t say anything else. “Um, Ms. Sears?” After a moment of silence, he resumed the conversation. “Hmm?” “Who exactly is Mr. Moses? I’ve never seen Director Turner behaving respectfully to someone.” Initially, he was looking for an excuse to explain his actions in the car just now. However, no matter how hard he tried to think of it, he still couldn’t manage to figure out a valid reason and he somehow came up with such a question in the end. Apparently, Luna had no idea what Christopher truly thought. Upon hearing his query, she raised her brow and answered, “I have no idea either. Director Turner only told me that Mr. Moses used to work in the military and he was deployed to Brentwood two days ago. However, Director Turner didn’t disclose the position that Mr. Moses is in or the work he does. As for the reason why, I guess he wanted to prevent unnecessary trouble. You know, there are a lot of unexplainable taboos in the officialdom.” In fact, she only briefly glossed over things because ‘unexplainable taboos’ was hardly enough to summarize the affairs in officialdom. Even as a woman well-experienced with people, she would be discreet whenever she received guests from that circle because she might very well be destroyed if she weren’t careful. “I see!” Christopher nodded his head as he pretended to understand her words. “Why? Are you really that interested to know about Mr. Moses’s identity?” Upon seeing him nod, Luna asked. “Not really.” He hastily waved his hands. “I’m just curious.” While he wanted to continue chatting with her, she seemed to have lost interest in talking with him and said, “Alright, you’ve worked really hard today. Since you also had a lot to drink tonight, take the day off tomorrow and rest at home. Make sure to take a glass of warm water after returning home. I’ll take my leave first.” After saying that, Luna turned to enter the car.She’s leaving? Just like that?Doesn’t she want to come in for a while? Seeing that she was leaving, Christopher felt kind of disappointed, but he didn’t dare to ask her to stay and could only close the door for her. Vroom! The engine of the rose-colored Porsche had started to roar once again. While Christopher was ready to see Luna off, the tinted car window was lowered and she poked her head out. “What’s the matter, Ms. Sears?” he asked. “I almost forgot,” Luna answered. “Tell me, what do you want as a reward?” “A reward?” Christopher was slightly confused. “Since you’ve significantly contributed to the restaurant, I, as a boss, have to at least do something to show my appreciation!” she explained. “Be it a promotion, an increment, or anything else, I’ll do my best to fulfill your wish if it’s within my capabilities.” If it’s within your capabilities? That sounds ambiguous! Don’t tell me that you would agree even if I asked you to kiss me?Christopher’s dirty thoughts ran wild. Of course, he didn’t dare to tell Luna what he truly wanted. He could have dirty thoughts in secret, but he would surely be dead meat if he wanted to make it a reality. What reward should he ask for? He started to ponder. A promotion? Forget it! He was the line cook now and if he was promoted, he would become the sous-chef. Even though his culinary skills had improved, he still couldn’t master the sous-chef’s responsibilities, so it was definitely a big no. An increment sounded great, but... It was rather materialistic to talk about money. Well, one had to know that money was the root of all evil! After contemplating for a while, Christopher finally answered, “Why don’t you bring me to the movies, Ms. Sears? I have no idea on what else I can ask for.” Frankly speaking, his request sounded intimate and bold. While there were a plethora of people who wanted to go to the movies with Luna, every one of them was successful in their careers. So, what made him think he could request something like this as an insignificant line cook?Yes, he did impress Mr. Moses with the authentic roasted tomato risotto, but wouldn’t he, a poor loser who had nothing, seem to be overestimating himself to ask Luna, every guy’s dream woman, out for a movie? He was obviously out of it! In fact, Christopher himself didn’t hold much hope and he was simply stating it. Unexpectedly, Luna actually agreed to a request that he thought she would never say yes to. Luna furrowed her beautiful brows before she hesitated for a moment and responded, “To the movies? Acceptable, but I currently have things to do, so why don’t we set the date two days later? When I have finished dealing with work in two days, I’ll bring you to the movies if I have the time.” After saying that, she floored the gas and her stylist Porsche sped off into the distance. As the rose-colored vehicle disappeared into the distance, the roar of its engine slowly faded. It was only then that Christopher came back to his senses from the bafflement. No way! No freaking way! Luna had actually agreed to go to the movies with him? Dear God, are you sure it’s supposed to be like this? His request was... granted just like that?After being overwhelmed by happiness and in a puzzled state, he only regained his ability to think after having a cold bath and returning to his room.
