Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2216 “Trust me, patriarch, I’ll be needing your help sooner than you think,” whispered Gerald in response.
“Just say the word and I’ll surely lend a hand! I wouldn’t even mind giving my position as patriarch toyou!” declared Takuya as he patted his chest, knowing full well that had it not been for Gerald’s help,his family would’ve eventually crumbled. What more, Fujiko could’ve died ages ago had Gerald notstepped in to save her back then…!
Whatever the case was, the four soon arrived at the private room on the top floor…novelbin
Once they were seated, Derrick couldn’t help but clear his throat before saying, “Um… Again, I’m trulysorry for making you wait this long today… Once I’m back at the office, I’ll definitely give my secretary agood, long, talk for not waking me up!”
“Leave the poor chap be,” replied Gerald with a smile.
“Are you sure…?” asked Derrick.
“Truth be told, he did attempt to wake you up, though I told him not to. After all, in the end, you’re still achairman of a massive consortium! It wouldn’t do you good if you didn’t get enough rest. Besides, alittle wait never killed anyone,” replied Gerald with a chuckle.
“But… I just feel bad, you know…?” muttered Derrick who was feeling guiltier than ever. Honestly, hewasn’t even this humble when facing other rich families in the Western Union!
Not wanting to continue talking about this, Gerald quickly asked, “Speaking of which… What’s fordinner?”
Realizing that they hadn’t ordered anything yet, Derrick then nodded before facing the waiter besidehim and saying, “I want the finest dishes this place can offer! Also, make sure Chef Yamamoto is theone preparing our meals! Even if he’s cooking for other guests, tell him to prioritize my meal. I don’t likewaiting. Ah, and before I forget, get us your best wine a s well!”
“Um… About Chef Yamamoto…” muttered the waiter, looking slightly embarrassed.
“Hmm? Is he not in today?” asked Derrick as he raised a slight brow. By this point, Chef Yamamotowas pretty much akin to his private chef here.
“He’s in, but… Some higher ups from the military are here for dinner as well, you see… And since ChefYamamoto’s currently preparing their food, there may be a bit of a delay…” replied the waiter in aslightly awkward tone.
“And? You’re saying it as if I don’t know anyone from the military! I don’t care, tell Chef Yamamoto toprioritize our meal! Just let other chefs deal with those men! I’ll have you know that these three men arehighly valuable guests of mine! If you unnecessarily delay my business with them, I’m making sure topick a bone with this place!” declared Derrick.
While Derrick wouldn’t have argued about this if he was dealing with other guests, this was Gerald hewas talking about! What more, he was still feeling guilty for how he had made Gerald wait an entireafternoon! If he couldn’t even provide Gerald with a good meal, his unease was only going to increase.
Whatever the case was, not wanting to cause an unnecessary scene, Gerald simply waved his handbefore saying, “We aren’t that particular about food, so any other chef is fine.”
“No, you don’t understand! Chef Yamamoto has a completely different standard compared to otherchefs! With that said, you have to taste his food tonight!” declared Derrick before turning to face thewaiter again and saying, “Just tell Chef Yamamoto that I said all this! If those from the military trylooking for trouble, tell them to come straight to me!”
“… Right away, Mr. Zirna! ” replied the waiter who didn’t know how else to respond. After all, he wasjust a lowly waiter here! If he didn’t do as he was told, he could potentially lose his job!
It was only after the waiter left when Derrick returned to his usual self.
