Chapter 1620: Struck By A Disease Called ‘Poverty’

“Oh, you’ve hired a little succubus. Interesting.” Just then, a voice broke the silence, and Irina appeared in the restaurant after a faint golden glow.

Irina’s long silver dress flowed to the ground slowly as her long silver hair fell casually yet perfectly behind her. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her features were so exquisite it was as though they were painted by a skilled artist. There was a small golden moon mark between her brows, and she was covered in a faint golden glow. Her ears were so fair and thin they were almost translucent.

She’s so beautiful!

Angela looked at Irina who suddenly appeared, and was taken aback. She seemed to have an overlapping image with the lady boss, whom she could not forget, at Carapace Island.

This fellow’s motive is not simple. Mag looked at Angela, who was completely stunned, and pressed his lips together. She actually had set her eyes on his wife. That was intolerable.

“Do I look good?” Irina asked with a smile when she saw Angela dumbstruck.

“Yes.” Angela nodded. She immediately regained her senses and blushed.

Irina looked at Angela with a smile. “I am Irina, Mamy Restaurant’s… special guest, and also the only customer who doesn’t have to line up for food.”

“Irina? Irina!” Angela stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Irina. Isn’t this the legendary elf princess? Although she had been staying on a small island, Angela had still heard stories of Irina. She didn’t expect that she would meet her here.

“Father, I’m back.” The sound of knocking on the door and Amy’s voice came from the entrance.

Miya went over to open the door. Ugly Duckling, who was lying on the counter, sleeping, stood up, slid down the side of the counter, and ran towards the door, jumping into Amy’s embrace as it rubbed its head against Amy’s chin.

“Ugly Duckling, did you eat something secretly again? Why do you feel heavier?” Amy asked with disdain as she pinched Ugly Duckling’s fat cheeks.

“Meow~”

Ugly Duckling looked at Amy with sad eyes, and stuck out its tongue to prove that it didn’t.

Aye!

Amy’s gaze landed on Angela, and she said in surprise, “Isn’t this Big Sister Angela?!”

“Hm?” Angela looked at Amy. It’s that cute little half-elf girl again. But how did she know her name?

“Yes. She’ll be part of the staff in our restaurant from today onwards,” Mag continued with a smile. “Little Amy, introduce yourself.

“Hello, I’m Amy, and you can call me Little Amy,” Amy said with a bright smile.

“H-hi, Little Amy.” Angela was a little confused by the father and daughter, but she still greeted the girl with a nod of her head.

“Our dinner operating hours will be longer, and at the same time, we have to open up the designated hot pot area, so we will be very busy. There’s a lot of preparatory work to do before we start opening up. However, you won’t have to deal with the more specific jobs today. You just have to sit at the side to familiarize yourself with the flow of work,” Mag told Angela.

“Mm-hmm.” Angela nodded. Although she felt that she could easily get used to this kind of easy work, she did not go against Mag. It was her first day of work, so she had to be more well-behaved.

After the brief introduction, everyone went to start their busy preparatory work.

Mag called Amy over to the side, and told her to keep everything related to Ay a secret before going off to get busy.

Angela did not have anything to do, so she watched Amy, who was squatting by a pillar, and lecturing a cat. She walked over with a smile, and asked, “Little Amy, what are you doing?”

“I’m teaching Ugly Duckling how to climb trees. It’s too fat. It needs to climb trees to lose some weight,” Amy said seriously. She pointed to the dried fish hanging on the pillar, and told Ugly Duckling, “Ugly Duckling. If you can climb up there, this dried fish will be yours.”

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling looked at that dried fish and licked its mouth. It leaped up and climbed up the pillar.

However, after climbing up half a meter, it started sliding down the pillar.

“Go on,” Amy said coldly as she stood by the side with her arms folded.

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling let out a meow, and grabbed the pillar once again, making its way up.

This time, it went up another half a meter before it slid down the pillar limply. It was still a big distance away from the dried fish that was hung more than two meters high.

“Meow, meow~” Ugly Duckling turned its head to look at Amy, and let out two pitiful meows.

“Go on.” Amy was not moved.

Angela stood at the side as she watched that plump cat jump up on the pillar time after time and try its best to climb up, working hard to get closer to that fragrant roasted dried fish.

However, no matter how hard it tried, the closest it ever got to the dried fish was half a meter away.

“Meow!”

Ugly Duckling slid down the pillar once again, and lay limply on the ground, facing up to reveal its big tummy with a resigned look on its face.

“Who am I? What am I doing here?”

Amy took the dried fish down from the pillar, and threw it into her mouth. It was crispy and crunchy. She turned to look at Ugly Duckling, and nodded as she said, “Mm-hmm. You’ve made a little improvement today. Let’s carry on again tomorrow.”

Ugly Duckling stared at that scene, and with a tilt of its head, it fainted.

“Alright. Don’t play dead anymore. I’ll prepare a fully vegetarian set meal for you later.” Amy tapped Ugly Duckling’s tummy with her toes.

“Meow.” Ugly Duckling flipped around and ignored Amy. It was not happy.

“If that’s the case, then you’re not eating tonight,” Amy said with a shrug.

“Meow, meow, meow~” Ugly Duckling immediately clambered up and hugged Amy’s calf to please her.

When she saw this scene, Angela smiled like a mother. What a cute little fellow. She was about to melt from all the cuteness.

“Big Sister Angela, do you have anything for me?” Amy picked Ugly Duckling up and looked at Angela.

“Nope. I’m just bored.” Angela shook her head, and then curiously asked, “But, how does Little Amy know my name? We haven’t met before this noon, right?”

Amy tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, “Perhaps… we’ve met once upon a dream. I thought of your name the moment I saw you.”

“Er…” Angela was stunned. Although she found that reason a little forced, it seemed rather convincing coming from Amy. A cute little girl like her was always right.

“What about Big Sister Angela? Why do you want to work in the restaurant?” Amy asked curiously.

“I…” Angela’s expression changed. At first, it was to understand the relationship between Mamy Restaurant and Ayi Crayfish Restaurant. However, she didn’t expect herself to find out immediately after getting the job. Right now, she sighed and said, “It’s because I was struck by a disease called ‘poverty’.”

“It’s alright. It’s usually not easy to treat a disease like this,” Amy comforted.

Vanessa pulled Sean along as they stood at the end of the line. She tip-toed to look ahead, and after making sure they would be able to get into the restaurant at their spot in the line, she said, “Alright. We’ve finally gotten into the line. Now we just have to wait for the restaurant door to open.”
