Chapter 12: These Rich People!
”Oh!” Peter nodded unconsciously and took two steps back. He watched Lorna take a menu and gently place it on the table. Then, she said to the brown-haired woman: ”What do you want to eat?”
The customer obviously had her request prepared, and did not bother looking into the menu before saying: ”Kung fu Barbecue.”
”This dish is served by weight. How many pounds do you want?”
”Let's start with one.”
”Alright, just a second.”
Lorna took away the menu and walked into the kitchen to say to Saint: ”Boss, one pound of Kung Fu Barbecue for one customer.”
”You're here!” Without raising his head, Saint answered while cutting the vegetables: ”Alright, I'll serve. Have you seen people? He's a new ȧssistant, with no work experience. Teach him more about work!”
”Alright!” Lorna nodded, went in and changed into her work clothes, then returned to Peter to tell him what to do.
After a while, Saint left the Kitchen with a plate of sliced raw meat. He looked around, and the woman caught his eyes. He went and put the plate on her table, using Ki before her eyes to cook the meat.
Facing what she couldn't explain with science, the woman was extremely shocked. He blue eyes were wide open, and her right hand went gently over her red lips, just to keep herself from screaming.
”Please enjoy!”
Saint turned around and was about to go back to the kitchen, when the brown-haired woman stood up shouting: ”Please wait:”
He turned back to her hear her say: ”My name is Joy Meachum, an old friend of Danny Rand!” She extended her hand to shake hands with Saint.
Saint realized who she was. This was Danny's childhood friend, and very wealthy. She, along with her brother, was running Rand Enterprises for the past few years. Why she was in Lee's Chinese Restaurant was a mystery to Saint, for she shouldn't be as interested as Danny in Ki and Kung Fu.
”Hi I'm Saint Lee!” Saint shook her hand and said: ”Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Meachum!”
”Can we sit down and talk?”
”Of course!” At this time, there were still no other customers going through the door. Saint nodded and sat down on the other side of the table: ”It would be a pŀėȧsurė!”
Joy looked at the barbecue in front of her, saying with a hint of emotion in her voice: ”Mr Lee, just three minutes ago, I used to think you're just a liar playing tricks.”
