Chapter 65 - 65: Isn’t That Miss Green?

Sophia took a bite. It was overwhelmingly tasty, and she understood now why it could be called a specialty.

She was even more puzzled than ever. The food in this restaurant was so good. How come there was no one else there? It was so strange! The business should have been booming, with the delicious food, the good online presence, it was very odd.

Other food followed. It was a lamb and mutton restaurant mainly and naturally, and the dishes were mainly of these varieties, fried Lamb with Cumin, Mutton Soup, Sautéed Lamb Slices with Scallion. Even though most of these dishes were the same type of meat, each had its own distinct taste.

In addition, there were some vegetarian dishes that were really good. Everyone was pleased. Carol didn't forget her mission and said to Sophia, "Boss, your friend is very generous! And he has great taste!"

Pearson refused to take the credit and explained, "Mr. Sampson chose the restaurant."

Sampson felt nervous again.

Why did he mention him? Was he in love with him?

The mutton was delicious, but it was good to be balanced by the vegetarian dishes. Otherwise, it might have been too greasy.

The table was self-rotating. Sophia wanted to eat some vegetables, and she was trying to rotate away from the large plate of meat in front of her. The vegetable plate was a little far away from her, and it had not rotated towards her. She tried to reach it but failed.

Barry, who was sitting next to her, said, "Let me get it for you. What would you like to eat?"

Sophia was in a daze. Before she could refuse, he picked up some celery and put it on the plate in front of her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I can't eat celery." Sophia smiled, "I'm allergic."

She spoke quietly, but as soon as she said that, both Kevin and Pearson suddenly looked at her.

Without noticing the eyes of these two, she saw a plate of vegetables coming towards her, and she happily scooped some up and started eating. The stir-fried vegetables were fresh and delicious, and she was happy.

After lunch, Sophia stood up to thank Albert Pearson for his treat.

"You're welcome. You sing to me. I have always wanted to thank you. A meal is the least I could do."

Barry, who was standing to one side, cast a long look at Pearson, turned on his heel, and went downstairs.

"As we're all here, let's travel together! The more, the merrier!" Ryan exclaimed.

Sophia smiled, "We've got an appointment with the tour guide. If we don't show up on time, she'll be worried. So, thank you, but we'll go and meet the others now."

She took her friends downstairs and headed to the meeting point.

Albert looked at the leftover food on the table and suddenly said, "Don't order celery from now on."

Sampson didn't know what to say and eventually muttered, "OKAY."

He hadn't heard what Sophia had said during the meal, so he didn't understand why his boss was saying this.

"I have to go to the washroom. Just a moment, Mr. Pearson!" Sampson said and ran out.

Pearson was taken aback, had he just been ordered to wait by his employee, how disrespectful!

However, Ryan was surprisingly fast and came back in less than a minute.

When they returned to the car, they found only the driver was there, and the guide was nowhere to be seen.

"Where has he gone?" Pearson asked.

"I'll call him, Mr. Pearson" Ryan picked up his phone to call the guide.

"What? You've come down with something! Oh, dear." Sampson sighed and hung up the phone, "The tour guide is sick and can't finish the job, unfortunately. Let's find somewhere to go, and they'll send another tour guide to us shortly."

Albert was quite confused.

He had gone upstairs for a meal for just over an hour, and the tour guide had just fallen ill, like that?

Ryan picked up his phone and googled a few things, "Well, there is a mansion nearby which was lived in by a general. We could visit there?"

"Fine."

Sampson gave a sly smile. He secretly sent Carol a message, "We're coming to the mansion too."

The driver was familiar with the place, and he started the car and soon came to the property.

It was a big house, covering an area of over ten thousand square meters. Its owner was a general, a compelling person back in the day. The house where he lived was, unsurprisingly, very well built.

Albert got out of the car and walked to the gate with Ryan. They bought tickets and entered.

No sooner had they arrived within the mansion than Sampson cried out in surprise, "Isn't that Miss Green? They're here too!"

He rushed up warmly to say hello to Sophia. Sophia saw him and smiled.

"What a coincidence! Sophia said, glancing at them, "But where's your guide? Didn't you have your own one?"

Ryan replied, "Oh, we had a little trouble with the, but another will be here soon. Oh, perhaps we could join your group and follow you around for a little while?"

"Well…" Sophia looked to Katherine, who was just beginning her spiel about the location, "You'll have to ask our guide."

"No problem!" Ryan immediately went over and explained what had happened to them and offered to pay

She didn't know what to do, "There are lots of different bits of this package. I don't know how to charge you if you just want to follow us. How about this? You can just follow us for free. And you'll just have to take care of your tickets, meals, and accommodation, all right?"

"You are delightful!" Ryan Sampson complimented her, "And so pretty and efficient and good at your job!"

Ryan ran back and reported to Pearson.

Pearson didn't really care about having a tour guide. He just wanted to walk around. But he could sense something was up with Ryan's decision and the way he was acting.. He didn't know what, but he was sure there was something afoot.
