300 What was wrong with this man? Had he gone mad? (2/2)

An old woman walked through the door and looked at them with a stiff face.

”Can we have dinner here? Are you still open?” Tony asked hopingly.

”Last five,” the woman replied.

”What? Already?” Tony gasped. He looked around and then saw another group of men were heading their way. His eyes widened. ”Aunty, four people, please. Four people.”

The woman looked at Jacob and then at him, cocking an eyebrow, ”You do know I don't do take-away.”

”Our bosses are here, Aunty Sunny. They are right outside there. Please, serve us your most delicious food for four people,” Tony said. He quickly sat on an empty chair and... well... not only sitting, to the horror of Jacob but embracing the table as if his life was depended on it.

What was wrong with this man? Had he gone mad?

Jacob looked toward the car, praying for the boss to save him. He did not think he could run away from here when Tony looked so excited after the woman returned back into the hut. He was stuck here with Tony and...

”Aunty Sunny, a table for five please,” one of the men who just arrived there said loudly, rubbing his stomach hungrily.

”One more left,” Aunty Sunny hollered from inside.

”What?” the men all were shocked when they heard only one place available. In union, they turned to look at the two men before them; Jacob and Tony. All of them frowned. Even if they managed to coax these two to give up their seats, it was only two more seats available but they all have five people.

”Excuse me?” one of them approached Jacob.

”Yes?”

”Are you... really want to eat here?” the man asked Jacob.

Jacob looked at Tony questioningly. He was a bit unwilling to be here. Where was this place? Who was that woman? And what was the number thing going on just now? Jacob was totally confused with everything that just happened.

”Are we eating here?” Jeremy asked as he and Greg reached the two men.

The other five men eyed them silently. Hmm... four people and Aunty Sunny did say one more empty seat left so overall would be five spots. Just enough for them. Their eyes sparkled.

”Sir, please sit here,” Tony hurriedly wiped the chair's surface before invited Jeremy to sit on the chair. Then, he wiped another chair for Greg, ”Sir, please sit here.”

”Are you sure this place serves food?” Greg asked with a frown.

”Yes... yes... Please, sir, have a seat. I've already ordered for us,” Tony said.

”Excuse me,” the same man interrupted them. He smiled warmly but his left eye was twitching.

”Yes?” Jeremy and Greg looked at him.

”Erm... Just by looking at your clothes, I don't think this place is suitable for your rank. Why don't you all eat elsewhere?” the man suggested.

Jeremy looked at Tony who was shaking his head. Jeremy smirked, ”I'm sorry. We are having dinner here.”

”But...”

”Young man, come help me bring the food,” before the man could argue, the door was flung open and Aunty Sunny appeared with her hands on her hips. She looked at Tony who quickly stood up and followed her into the hut.

The five men wanted to argue and insist for Jeremy and his group to eat at another place but seeing Aunty Sunny already finished her cooking, they changed their mind. With a heavy sigh, they pushed themselves to return to their vehicle.

”Tomorrow we have to come earlier than today,” one of them muttered.

”Yes,” another one replied.

Jeremy, seeing how the five men were behaving, simply rested his chin on his hands and frowned. Was this place so special until the men there looked so heartbroken not able to eat dinner here? Hmm... if it was truly delicious, maybe he could bring his Ryn here once the hotel was launched to the public.
