Chapter 115 - Welcome Boss

"Everyone listen carefully. Our new boss has arrived here already. He will be inside after five minutes. The manager has asked everyone to lined up near the front desk."When Nina Anderson was speaking to Kate, someone came running inside the kitchen and said.

"Let's go," Kate said and left the kitchen hurriedly with Nina Anderson and others. Everybody lined up in a neat little row.

A group of men entered the restaurant.

"Oh, they are so handsome. I wonder, who is our new director! Our sexy and handsome director must be someone among them."Kate whispered at Nina Anderson. But not a single word can enter her ears as her eyes were fixed on a man who just entered the restaurant. It was James Thomson. Peter Carter was following him closely.

'Why is he here? Is he here to nag me again? Oh, God! The manager is going to kill me. I even don't know how the new director is. What if they get angry at me. I think I should hide somewhere so that he can not see me.'Nina Andrson thought and quietly took two steps back.

"Hey Nina, what are you doing. See they are coming this way. Come back to your position."Kate said in a low voice and signalled her to come back to her previous position. Nina Anderson nodded and came back to the row again.

In the meantime, James Thomson and Peter Carter reached in front of her. She lowered her head and ready to get scold by the manager.

"Hello everyone, meet the new director of 'The Taste'.Let's give a warm welcome to  Mr. James Thomson."The manager announced loudly. Nina Anderson was stunned to hear him. She looked at the man standing in front of her.

"Oh, God! So he has bought this restaurant! Is he gone insane? Is it because I rejected his job offer? How can he torture me like that?'Nina Anderson thought.

"Hello everyone. Many thanks to you for welcoming me warmly. I hope we will work together to bring back the glory of this restaurant. Now everyone can go back to their work. I would like to look around the restaurant myself. "Nina Anderson came back to the present to hear James Thomson's voice. She sighed in relief and turned back to leave.

"Wait. You come with me and help me to look around the restaurant."Nina Anderson stopped to hear James Thomson's voice behind her. She turned back and looked at him questioningly.

"You mean me?"She asked in an annoying tone. Everyone present there was shocked to hear her tone.

"Are you out of mind? Why are you speaking with the director with that tone?"Kate whispered to her ears.

"Miss Nina, what are you doing ? As the director asked you to show around, you should follow him. What is that tone? Do you want to get fired?"The manager came forward and said with an angry tone.

"I am sorry, director. She is a little uncultured. I will take care of her. Let me show you around the restaurant. As a manager,I can explain everything better than a mere waitress."The manager bowed and said politely.

James Thomson gave him a murderous look. Suddenly everyone felt that the temperature of the surrounding dropped to a certain degree.No one could not understand what is happening here. The manager lowered his head and started to think where has he done wrong. Nina Anderson stared at James Thomson confusedly. She also could not understand why James Thomson is that angry.

"Everyone please leave and do your work. Manager, let me go with you. I have to check the accounts for the last few months. And are not you Miss Nina? Please go with the boss and show him around the restaurant."Peter Carter came forward and said hurriedly to control the situation.

"O...ok.Please come with me."Nina Anderson said signaled him to follow her.

"Why are you here?"Nina Anderson asked in an annoying tone when there was no one around. James Thomson did not reply.

"So, you are not going to reply now. Is it because I rejected your job offer? Look, Mr. Jmaes Thsomon, as I have rejected your job offer, you should know that I am not interested to get involved with you again. You should not have bought this restaurant for me."Nina Anderson said in an annoying tone again.

"Miss Nina, you are overthinking. I have not bought this restaurant for you.I have bought it as I wanted to have this restaurant under my name. It has  nothing to do with you."James Thomson said in a calm tone. Nina Anderson stared at him for a moment and sighed in relief. James Thomson smiled to see her reaction. 

"But Mr. Thomson, I think you should not have bought this restaurant. Do you know that this restaurant is not doing well? You might lose your money from this restaurant."Nina Anderson said thoughtfully.

"What! Miss Nina, are you worried about me?"

"Who is worried for you? I am just let you know what is happening here as an employee. I think you should see the other parts of this restaurant yourself. I have a lot of works to do now."Nina Anderson said and about to leave but stopped by James Thomson.

"Let us have dinner together."

"I am sorry. I can not. I have plans tonight."Nina Anderson said and left hurriedly. James Thomson sighed to see her leaving. He called Peter Carter and left the restaurant immediately.

"Boss was you able to talk to her properly?"Peter Carter asked him curiously.

"I don't know why, but she is trying to avoid me."James Thomson replied in a sad tone.

"Boss, I think you should not show your affection towards her in that obvious way. You should control yourself a little.No woman like a man who tries to offer himself to her that easily."

James Thomson nodded and was lost in his thought.
