Chapter 22 - M.D.B 22: Lee Family Meal (2/2)
Saint shook his head, giving what seemed like a random answer: ”No. I'm the boss, so I just call it as I like, Hahaha!”
”…”
Lorna opened her mouth silently, biting into the barbeque. As she was about to chew, she heard him say: ”We're all orphans… Wouldn't it be good to have a 'family meal'?”
”…”
Lorna chewed the meat, and went in for more, saying: ”It good…”
At this time, Peter, who had changed his clothes, appeared in front of the table with his hands wet. He pulled a chair and sat down complaining: ”Boss, can't we reschedule our family meal for a little later? I've already had two warnings for running hazardously in school…”
Saint was about to reject his request, when he saw Lorna winking at him, putting her hand on Peter's should: ”Peter, stop asking for too much! The customers will start walking in really soon. When do you want us to eat?”
”Lorna, how can you stand on boss's side? Both of us are employees who are being exploited by him; we should stick together!”
”Just shut up! and eat!”
”Cough… Peter, you think you're being exploited? Well, about the plates you broke the other day, perhaps I can dedu…”
”No no! Boss! I'm in the wrong!”
After the three quarreled over the ”Family meal”, Lorna cleaned the table, Peter cleaned the tableware, and Saint… sat down lazily eating.
Saint had established the roles he wanted: He cooks, they clean!
After a short while, as the first costumer walked in, Saint went quickly into the kitchen, put on a clean chef's apron, and started working. After 2 pm, he removed the now dirty apron, and asked Lorna: ”Lorna, have you gone to the Dojo recently? I haven't seen Colleen come to eat for a few days! Feels a bit wrong!”
”Oh, boss, you didn't know?” Lorna said to Saint, teasing him: ”Master had met a wealthy 2nd generation billionaire! The two went to China, on a vacation, on his… private… jet!”
”China… Danny Rand?” Saint frowned and hurriedly asked: ”When did this happen?”
Lorna smirked and said: ”Don't be so nervous, boss! They just went on a vacation together, it shouldn't mean anything; you still have a chance!”
”Not that!” Saint's face was serious; ”Lorna, just answer me! Danny Rand is not just some billionaire, he's Kunlun's Iron Fist, and the Hand's enemy! If Colleen went to China with him, it wouldn't be just a vacation, and it's likely to be dangerous! Now, tell me, when did this happen?”
”Four days ago…” Lorna was shocked. After honestly answering, a stream of questions came out of her mouth: ”You're scaring me boss; Sensei is in danger? What kind of Danger? What's Kunlun, and what about this Hand thing?”
