Chapter 7 - Interview

Saturday morning. Ren is currently in his office on the second floor of his restaurant. It's been 2 weeks since he created and designed his restaurant. He already hired security and a secretary. He just needed to hire some cooks and waiters.

'Why would I require a secretary? Well, who cares I want a secretary.' Ren thought

Ren already posted an advertisement for his restaurant. He is planning to open his restaurant on Monday with a 50% discount on any dishes.

The restaurant has an elegant look and a slight touch of Japanese culture on it.

The taste of Magic is quite massive. The first floor can accommodate a large number of people. The left side of the floor consists of a spacious kitchen, employee comfort room, and a walk-in fridge. The middle and the right side is where the dining area is.

The lower-middle part consists of multiple tables. The upper-middle and the right side is where the private rooms are.

Ren knows that many introverted people exist, so he created a private soundproof room with different designs and sizes for them to eat peacefully without being stared at. being alone doesn't mean that you are lonely. Theres a button near the wall so they can order whenever they want to, or just drink a free coffee and relax. single person room is free after all.

There is also a special room to accommodate groups. It consists of a karaoke machine, a flatscreen T.V(free Netflix) with a great sound system, and a...disco ball.

The second floor is composed of, employees room, Ren's office, and a really really really huge! Arcade. Ren's didn't want to waste some space so why not put a massive arcade on it. If you dine at Ren's restaurant you can play all the games in the arcade for free.

"Mrs. Johnson please let the first applicant in," Ren ordered.

"Affirmative, Sir." Mrs. Johnson replied.

Jean Johnson is Ren's secretary. She is already 30 years old this year, with two children a boy and a girl. She has blond long hair, bluish green eyes, and 1.8m tall...also, a widow.

"Good morning, sir. I'm James Smith, I would like to apply in your restaurant. I got no experience in cooking in a restaurant, but I cook each day at my parent's house." James said while awkwardly smiling, It is obvious that he is very nervous.

"Can you show me your hand, Mr. Smith?" Asked Ren strictly. 'I want to role play as a strict boss today' Ren thought.

James showed his hands to Ren without saying anything. Visible sweat can be seen coming from his forehead.

Ren noticed some burn and cut marks from James' hands indicating that he takes cooking seriously, however, he is considerably clumsy.

James noticed Ren's expression. He is downhearted. He saw that kind of expression before, no one is hiring him because of his low self-esteem. His confidence that is already low keeps getting lower and lower because of the numerous rejection that he experienced.

Ren stares at James's eyes then said. "You're hired, I'm expecting you to do your best in work. You will receive a traveling allowance every first day of the month. You can train your cooking skills today and tomorrow. The restaurant will be open on Monday." Ren thought that he should give people like him a chance.

James staring dumbly at Ren. Saying he is shock is an understatement. Suddenly uncontrollable tears flow down from his eyes while smiling.

"Thank you sir." is the only word that came out from James's mouth.

"Mrs. Johnson please escort Mr. Smith to the kitchen." Ren already has some suppliers delivering ingredients at his restaurant.

"It will be done. Shall I call the next applicant too?" Mrs. Johnson replied seriously.

"Why not, thank you." Ren said then thought, 'This gonna be a long day.'
