Chapter 629 Mascot
The waiter was stunned as she looked at Su. However, Su simply smiled gently and said, "Sure!"
And the man started to pack the stuffs. Under the instructions of the waiter, Su got it done in no time.
"Thank you!" The female customer thanked Su and stared at him intently. After that, she brought her
desert to her seat.
"You are most welcome!" Su smiled gentlemanly.
At the same time, more and more customers came in and they were queuing behind the woman, "I
want this, this and this…"
As the second female customer was making her orders, more customers came in and everyone
queued in front of Su. And of course, all of them were women. Hence, the original waiter became Su's
assistant.
When Dorie came out from the kitchen after talking to the chef, she saw the crowd and she was
stunned.
What was happening???
The entire shop was crowded and fully seated. Not only that, there was still a long queue.
She had opened his shop for so long and she had only seen this during the first day when Alistair was
here. Never again…
But now…
"Hey handsome, I want this…"
"I want that too…"
As all the women looked at Su, they smiled happily. As if the goods they were ordering wasn't the food
but Su…
All of a sudden, Dorie came to realized that it was of outmost importance to have a handsome man in
her shop!
Dorie's shop was a full house.
When Dorie was still pondering whether she should hire some pretty ladies or handsome men, Su
turned his head back and looked at her, "What are you thinking? Hurry and help!"
Su's words brought Dorie back to her senses. She hurriedly nodded, "Oh okay!"
And so, the boss became one of the waiters as well and got busy in the crowd.
When she was delivering coffee to her customers, some of them asked her, "This employer of your
shop is so handsome!"
When Dorie heard that, she chuckled, "Really?"
"Yeah, why didn't we see him before?"
"Oh… He is new!" Dorie smiled. She would say and do anything to retain her customers.
"What is his name?"
"Su!"
The women nodded happily. And Dorie did not forget to add, "Single and available!"
Right after she said that, those that heard her had their eyes lit up.
Dorie smiled and went around to serve the others.
It was a busy day all until ten o'clock in the night.
Dorie simply lazed on a chair. She was so tired to even move a muscle.
But Su looked completely fine. He walked over and looked at her, "How do you feel? Are you tired?"
Dorie nodded. She wasn't even motivated to talk.
"It's pretty late now. Let's go back, eat and rest earlier!" Su said.
Dorie raise her head and nodded in exhaustion, "All right!" She pushed herself up and went with Su.
Su drove as Dorie reclined on the seat. She had decided to take a shut eye.
Instead of a shut eye, she was actually making her own plans.
Su tilted his head and looked at Dorie. When he saw how tired she was, he didn't say anything. When
they got home, Su went to cook while Dorie waited on the couch. As she was waiting, she continued to
think of her plan.
After Su was done, Dorie regained some vigor. She got up and ate with Su.
When Su saw that Dorie was quiet, he asked, "What were you thinking about?"
When Dorie heard Su, she turned her head back and looked at him.
Isn't this the most important element in her plan!?
Who else could do better than this man in front of her?
Her eyes lit up as she looked at Su and she helped the man to get more vegetables affectionately.
"Eat more, you had worked hard!" She smiled.
When Su saw her friendly gesture, he was stunned for a second. After that, he nodded, "Ok!"
"Thank you so much for earlier!"
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for helping me out in the shop. I can tell most of the female customers came because of
you. The previous time we had that number of customers was when Alistair was around. And today, it
was because of you!" When Dorie said that, she couldn't help but exclaimed to herself, that nowadays
people just judge by the appearances.
When Su heard that, he didn't show any expression and continued to eat. Dorie noticed that he was
even graceful as he ate, he did not resemble a thug by the streets in any way.
"Probably it just happened that you have more customers today, just a coincidence!" Su did not want to
take the credit.
"Not a coincidence, I could tell that much!" Dorie said assuredly.
Su, "…"
He chose to remain silence.
When Dorie saw that Su didn't say anything, she raised an eyebrow and moved closer, "Log, what are
you doing lately?"
When Dorie suddenly spoke in such a gentle tone, Su couldn't adapt to it. He tilted his head and looked
at her, "Why? Is there a problem?"
Dorie smiled.
Although she smiled sweetly, she exposed that she had a hidden agenda.
"Just say it!" Su said directly.
Dorie didn't beat around the bush anymore and she simply looked at him and cheered, "I have an
idea!"
"What?"
"I want to hire you!"
"Huh?!" Su frowned as he looked at her.
Dorie lowered her bowls and chopsticks and looked at him in a serious demeanor, "Say it, how much
do you want! I'm gonna dig you over!"
Su, "……"
Su looked at her and didn't say anything. As he looked at her expression, he just couldn't help but
feel…
"Just say it, let me see if I can afford you!" Dorie looked at him and she had braced herself.
After a long while, Su asked, "Are you sure you want to hire me?"
Dorie nodded hurriedly, "You can be our shop manager, I guarantee that I will not give you a lower
salary then other shops!" Dorie gritted her teeth.
Su, "……"
He looked at Dorie and his lips curled up, "Okay then!"
Okay?
Does that mean Su agreed?
Dorie blinked her eyes, "You agreed?"
Su nodded, "Yes."
"But… But…" Dorie was still in disbelief. It was simply too easy and she didn't feel a sense of
accomplishment.
She looked at Su and asked, "Then, what about your salary?" When she was asking that, she was
unconfident.
Although she gave her words boldly earlier, now that it was time to negotiate, she lost her confidence.
Dorie couldn't help but looked down on herself.
As Su saw through Dorie's thoughts, a mirth flashed in his eyes, "Anything will do!"
Anything will do????
Dorie even suspected that she heard him wrongly!
"You, are you for real!?" Dorie blinked her eyes and asked.
Su nodded.
Dorie, "……" She really didn't know what to say.
Why would she feel that she had just exploited Su?
"You helped me to rent an apartment and I owed you that. In addition, I am still living off you now, just
offset it with the salary!" Su said.
How could there be anyone so conscious and sensible in this world?!
How fortunate, she didn't get the wrong guy. This piece of log was a grateful person!
"All right, deal!" Dorie hurriedly sealed the promise.
Su's lips curled up, "All right, let's eat!"
After her plans succeeded, Dorie lifted her bowl and continued to eat. She seemed to be eating in an
exhilaration.
When Su saw how happy she was, his lips curled up faintly as well.
"By the way, after the dinner, let's go and clean up your place downstairs!" Dorie said cheerfully. After
pondering for a bit, she added, "Just treat it as a fringe benefit from your boss!"
"But you are already so tired today!"
"I have rested sufficiently just now. Now that I ate dinner, I am resurrected!" After saying that, Dorie
made a comical resurrection move.
Su smiled and didn't stop her.
Therefore, after they were done eating, Dorie picked up something and went downstairs.
Su didn't have many things. Dorie brought her own new bedsheets and helped him to tidy up his bed,
as well as positioning his things.
The man didn't have many things and with two of them working together, they managed to settle it in no
time.
Dorie sat on the bed and said, "Wow, it's not bad at all here! Although the previous owner was an
elderly couple, it was clean and the furnishing was modern. I can tell in one look that it was a modern
thinking granny!" Dorie said.
When Su heard Dorie, he chuckled, "Do you want to drink anything?"
Dorie tilted her head and looked at him, "What do you have?"
Su, "… Water!" The man just recalled that he moved to a new place.
"Then water will do!" Dorie wasn't picky.
Therefore, Su opened the fridge and there were some mineral waters inside. He took it up and passed
one to Dorie.
After drinking and moisturizing her throat, Dorie said, "How is it? I got you a fine place, right?"
Su nodded.
"Yeah, it's also convenient for you to take care of me. Now I will bring you to the shop every morning
and then I'll go to my company!"
Su, "…"
He just realized that Dorie had it all planned out.
The two of them continued to chat to almost 1 o'clock in the midnight. Dorie was so sleepy that she fell
right asleep on Su's bed.
When Su looked at Dorie, he couldn't help but worry for her. It was fortunate that she was doing that in
his place, if she were to fall asleep in another man's house… What would happen?
When he thought about that, he felt that it was necessary to teach her a lesson.
But before the lesson, he should carry her back upstairs.
After they got in her unit, he put Dorie on her bed and tucked her in. After that, Su left.
Dorie seemed to know her own bed in her sleep. Right after she lied down in her own bed, she curled
into a ball and hugged her pillow to sleep.
Su was downstairs and he looked up to his ceiling. It was all Dorie in his mind.
At that moment, he could even vividly picture how Dorie was sleeping. As he thought about that, his
lips curled up without realizing…
The next day.
Dorie dropped Su to the shop, gave him some instructions and left.
Su was promoted to the shop manager right away but the two other waiters, a man and a woman had
no objections. They had seen Su's capabilities yesterday.
As expected, with Su around, business was great.
After Dorie was done with work, she rushed over to check on the business. When she reached the
doorstep, she almost needed to queue to go in.
Dorie took some time to squeeze herself in. That was quite a ruin to her image as the boss of the
place.
Right after Dorie walked inside, she heard someone asking, "Hi handsome, can I take a picture with
you?"
Su, "No…"
Before he could even finish, Dorie hurriedly said, "Miss, look at how busy we are. How can we have the
time to take pictures? Why not we do it like this, if you spend a certain amount, I can give his pictures
as a gift!"
"Really?!"
Dorie nodded, "Sure, he can even give you his autograph!"
"Okay, okay, let me order more!" The women said.
Dorie smiled, "Sure!"
As Su stood beside Dorie and listened to her, he glanced powerlessly at her. But Dorie did not feel the
slightest inappropriate and she laughed heartily.
Su had underestimated Dorie's business wits.
What a shrewd businesswoman!
Milking every opportunity!
But Su had no complaint.
Therefore, Dorie made her announcement and all the young women screamed in excitement. Dorie
agreed generously that she would distribute Su's picture tomorrow. Whoever comes tomorrow will
receive one picture of him!
After a busy day, Su cooked in the night while Dorie took her calculator to the couch. She curled up her
legs on the couch and started calculating the profits. Her serious face when she did that made her
looked like a money-grubber.
Su shook her head mirthfully and continued to cook.
After making her calculations, Dorie proceeded to bring out her laptop and made calls.
After Su was done with dinner, he called her but there was no reply. When Su didn't hear any
responses from Dorie, he went out the kitchen and went to her room.
"Dinner is ready!"
"Huh?" Dorie raised her head.
At that time, Su noticed the pictures she was holding and he snatched one away.
It was his picture.
Not only that, a picture of him in the shop.
He didn't even realize when it was taken.
"What are you doing?"
"Printing your pictures!"
"Are you serious in distributing it?"
"Of course!" Dorie took the picture back from his hand and continued to choose, "I have already
promised them, how can I break my promise? If they come over tomorrow, I can still earn a small
fortune!"
Su, "……"
The man came to a slow realization that all the woman could think of right now was money.
Su stood there and he felt like a sheep in a den of wolves.
At that time, Dorie raised her head suddenly and looked at him, "Let's print this, what do you think? You
look handsome here. Hmm… all right, it's decided!"
"How many copies should I print? Three hundred? Five hundred? Forget it, I should just go for one
thousand. But what if it's not enough?!"
Su, "…"
That woman had no problem in using him as a sales tactic!
However, now that he thought of that, wasn't that her motivation from the start?!
Su bent forward and took away the pictures from her hand. He pulled her up and said, "For now, let's
eat first!"
When Dorie heard that, she came to a slow realization, "Oh, right, let's continue after dinner!"
And so, she followed Su to the dining table.
Su ate quietly. When Dorie was eating, she complimented, "Wow, the dinner is great tonight!"
"Then you should eat more!"
"You too!" After saying that, Dorie helped Su to put more meats in his bowl, "We might be busy
tomorrow, you should eat more!"
When Su looked at his almost overflowing bowl, he didn't say anything and started to eat.
"Do you know what time you fell asleep last night?" When they were eating, Su asked suddenly.
Dorie was stunned for a while. After that, she shook her head and looked at Su, waiting for an answer.
"You shouldn't just fall asleep in any man's house, he might be dangerous!" Su said directly.
Dorie chuckled, "Of course not! That's because it was you. If it is anyone else, I couldn't even fall
asleep!"
Dorie said it uncaringly but it caused a great ripple in Su's heart.
After a long silence, Su continued, "Yeah, I'm an exception!"
Originally, he thought that Dorie was simply distributing his pictures. But there were more surprises that
awaited him.
When he stood at the entrance of the shop, he saw another ‘Su' of similar height standing outside the
door. Su was stupefied.
The stand-up poster of him was smiling as he promotes the desserts in their shop. He was wearing a
chef's hat and wearing a white uniform. He even noticed a name tag on him - Cake Prince.
That resembled the type he had always seen in Korean drama.
Su froze by the entrance and his eyes were fixed on the poster.
He stood at the entrance and couldn't move a step.
Dorie was proud, "How was it? Not bad at all, right? I thought of this as I recalled my travel in Korea!"
When Dorie saw her handiwork, she was well pleased.
Not only that, she had spent quite a lot of money on it. As she looked at the poster, she felt it was a
wise expenditure.
"Must you put it here?" Su asked.
Dorie nodded, "Of course! Then those passersby will see your picture and they would get attracted to
enter the shop. At that time, we will have better business!" As Dorie said that, she fantasized the
wonderful future ahead: that she was lying snow-angel in a pile of cash and it was raining cash. Just
the thought about it made her grinned ear to ear.
Su looked at the petite woman next to him and shook his head helplessly.
Now the woman was just caught up in money, money and more money.
When Dorie saw that he was quiet, she looked at him and the cheer left her face, "What's wrong? You
don't like it?"
Su shook his head, "No."
"Good then. All right, you should get in now. Annabelle will be coming in afternoon and remember to
save her a spot!" Dorie said.
Su nodded.
"I will try my best to finish work earlier and come here. See you!"
Su nodded again.
Therefore, Dorie drove away.
Su looked at the poster by the door helplessly and entered the shop.
The waiters in the shop were called Huanan and An-an. After the past few days, the three of them had
gotten familiar with each other.
"Brother Su, now it seems that sister Dorie had made you into our signboard!" An-an chuckled. As they
looked at the poster by the door, they must admit that he looked absolutely gorgeous. But at the same
time, it felt comical.
Huanan nodded, "Yeah, brother Su, you are now our mascot, but…" As he looked at the poster by the
door, he looked back at Su with a suspicious gaze. Could the man handle that?
"Can you really accept being ‘put to good use' like this by boss Dorie?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Alright now, it's almost time and we will have customers soon. Let's hurry and
get prepared!" Su said.
"Brother Su, be honest, do you like sister Dorie?" An-an asked smilingly.
Su looked at her and said, "An-an, have you punched in today?"
When An-an heard that, she was stunned, "Oh dear, I had completely forgotten about it!" After saying
that, she hurriedly went to punch in.
Su shook his head and prepared to work. However, the man's lips were curling up faintly.
Huanan looked at Su and then back to An-an, after that, he smiled.
Although none of them said anything, they could all see that Su was forbearing towards their boss. No
matter what she did, Su wouldn't give a second opinion.
Therefore, the workers were confident that Su liked their boss.
The busy hours started from 10 o'clock in the morning and peaked at about 3 to 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. At that time, Annabelle came.
The moment Annabelle came and saw the full house, she was shocked. But the moment she saw the
poster hanging outside, she couldn't help but broke into a laughter.
It was just like what Alistair said. The only person that could put up with Dorie was just Su and Su
alone.
Just by looking at the poster… She knew that it was hundred percent Dorie's idea.
Only she could come up with something like that.
The moment Annabelle walked inside, Su noticed her right away.
It wasn't a dramatic scene where a man saw his life savior. The two of them were like old friends as
they greeted each other.
"You're here!"
Annabelle nodded smilingly, "Yeah, I didn't expect to see so many people here!"
Su smiled, "Her ideas. She could always attract people like that!" His tone was filled with cosset
towards Dorie.
Annabelle smiled as Su continued to say, "I saved you a seat, over there!"
When Annabelle saw that it was the same seat she sat the previous time, she nodded, "Okay, I'll go
over first!"
"Okay!"
Annabelle walked over and sat down. As she observed, all of the customers looked at Su with desirous
eyes. She could easily guess that most of them came because of Su.
It was unexpected that Dorie… was such a shrewd businesswoman.
When she was in thoughts, An-An brought a tray of desserts over, "Miss, here you go!"
"Thanks!"
"May I ask if you are boss Dorie's friend?" An-an looked at Annabelle and asked.
Annabelle was drinking coffee and she looked at her and nodded, "Yeah!"
"You are so beautiful!" An-an said smilingly.
Annabelle didn't think that she would say that and she chuckled, "You are adorable as well!"
An-an was a teenager and she had dimples when she smiles. She was pretty and adorable.
An-an smiled shyly and said, "I should get back to work. Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything!"
Annabelle nodded.
And so, An-an went away to serve others.
Annabelle sat there drinking her coffee and tasted the dessert. However, she just took one mouthful
and she felt sick of it. Therefore, she moved the plate away and didn't eat any more.
Sometime later, Dorie rushed back.
Right after she came in, she went straight to Annabelle.
"Annabelle, sorry it was a little jam!"
"I just reached as well!"
Dorie laughed, "You should have said that earlier, I was rushing like mad!"
Annabelle smiled and looked at Dorie, "Your business is good!"
Dorie smiled proudly, "Of course!"
"You knew how to put things to good use!" Annabelle raised an eyebrow and said as she glanced over
at Su. Dorie understood what she was hinting.
Dorie looked at the man behind her and explained hurriedly, "Don't misunderstand, I paid him a high
salary to get him to stay!"
"Oh? High salary? How much?"
"Emm… You just have to know it's very high!" Dorie said.
Annabelle smiled, "Is that a deserving pay for someone with a MBA degree?"
When Dorie helped Annabelle to investigate Su's background, she found out that although he was an
orphan, he was highly educated. In another words, with his qualification, he could work in any company
of his choice.
When Dorie heard that, she was stunned. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Then… This is a training ground for him!" When Dorie said that, she was diffident.
Annabelle simply smiled and nodded in agreement, "Of course, that made sense!" They knew that Su
was an MBA degree holder but he ended up like this because of Yoi.
Now that Su ended up with Dorie, Annabelle was happy for them.
At the very least, he wouldn't go back to his old ways, or wrong ways.
Dorie smiled and looked at the dessert, "Why aren't you eating? This is our best seller!"
"Really? I tried it but it felt a little heavy for me!" Annabelle said.
Dorie frowned and she took a spoonful and tasted it, "No, it isn't!"
"Maybe that's because I had been eating clean lately."
Dorie nodded and didn't think much, "Don't go wasting my best seller, I'll eat it!" As she said that, she
started eating.
There was a lot of customers. All the way until around six o'clock, the crowd lessened and Su had the
time to take a break. He walked over and sat right beside Dorie.
"Su, long time no see!" Annabelle greeted him happily. She didn't mention anything about the past.
"Long time no see, I heard that you are getting married with Alistair soon, congratulations!" Su said
indifferently. Although he didn't show much emotion, the man knew that if it weren't for the woman in
front of him, he wouldn't survive to see this day.
It was difficult to explain the peculiar yet pleasant feeling between them.
"Thank you, do come with Dorie to attend my wedding!" Annabelle smiled.
"I will!"
"By the way, where are you staying?" Annabelle asked.
"City apartment!"
Annabelle was stunned, "Are you staying in City apartment as well?"
At that time, Dorie turned her head around to look at Su. She was blinking her eyes hard as if she
wanted to say something.
Annabelle looked at them and squinted her eyes. The woman seemed to notice something and she
smiled.
Dorie hurriedly added, "Coincidentally, someone put their unit to rent and he got it!"
She was trying to hide by saying that.
Annabelle looked at them and didn't say anything. But her gaze was mirthful.
At that time, Su didn't hide and he nodded, "Yeah, I rented a unit under her floor."
When Annabelle heard that, she nodded, "Oh, so that was it!" After saying that, she glanced at Dorie.
The woman was simply eating her dessert and pretended she heard nothing.
Annabelle chuckled, "If that's the case, I can be more restful. It isn't safe for a single lady like Dorie to
stay alone. With you by her side, I can be restful!"
Su smiled heartily as he looked at the woman beside him. His eyes were just gleaming in adoration,
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her!"
