Eden's restaurant visit

The man holding a box of pizza on his hand storms inside the restaurant, the customer’s at the restaurant dining looks at him with terror covering their face as the man darts his way to the restaurant’s counter with the grimace look on his face.

At the time the man arrives at the restaurant‘s counter, he then drops off the box of pizza on the counter top abruptly, causing the waiters at the restaurant to glace each other while furrowing their brows.

"I need to speak with your boss right now!. Where is he?!" The customer exclaims, looking on every corner of the restaurant searching for Ricardo’s presence while burning with anguish inside his heart.

George holds up his hand and smiles."Please calm down Mr. There is no need to panic and shouting out loud around here. What can we help you with Mr.?" George asks.

"What kind of service does your restaurant offer, huh?,”  The customer opens up the box of pizza on the counter top and then shows it to the  waitress, “I ordered a pizza today at your restaurant but when I reached home and opened it I find out that it has already fermented. Is this what you always do to your customers?"

The customers at the restaurant dining watches the argument as their ears parks with full of their attention while some murmurs on their tables as the argument between the waiters and customers proceeds at the restaurant counter.

In a brief moment Ricardo arrives at the restaurant with his briefcase on his hand, walking heading to the restaurant’s entrance’s door after dropping off from the bus from home.

At the time Ricardo opens the restaurant’s door and enters inside the restaurant, he finds the customers arguing with his waiters at the at the restaurant’s counter while the customers clamors inside the restaurant as the argument goes on.

Ricardo walks straight to the restaurant’s counter in a rush with a grimace look on his face while holding his briefcase on his hand.    

"What is going on here George?!,” Ricardo says as soon as he arrives at the  restaurant’s counter, ”What seems to be the problem?” Ricardo asks.

 "Boss, this man has been complaining a lot today that we have sold him a fermented pizza and he is asking for a refund." George replies.

The customer looks at Ricardo and Exclaims.  "Yes old man!, I need my money right now, you better-."

Before the customer finishes his sentence, Ricardo holds up his hand and stops him immediately, leaving the customer a dazed.

"Okay that's enough young man. How much did you buy that pizza?" Ricardo asks.

"It's was ten bucks old man" The customer replies.

Ricardo puts his hand inside his trouser pocket and takes the money, and then starts counting ten dollars for the customer’s refund.  

Ricardo gives ten dollar to the customer. “Here you go Mr., I hope there is no other problem." Ricardo says.

The pizza man takes his money and stuffs it inside his pocket and walks away from the restaurant counter, going outside the restaurant back to his car. 

When the pizza man is outside the restaurant, the clamors reduce slowly as the customers continue eating their meals while George furrows his brows at Ricardo, disappointed for what his boss has done.   

"Boss, why did you do that for? We could have given him another pizza instead of money."George says.

Ricardo twists his lips aside. “There is no need of arguing with a person like that. Remember we need to keep a clean reputation of our restaurant since the last encounter that we faced with criminals at our restaurant ruined our business a lot, understood!”

George nods with affirmation. “Yes boss.”

Recently Ricardo’s restaurant have been grooming it’s business while serving a lot of customers due to the best service that it provides to the people around Avenida Juarez in Mexico city. The misfortune that Ricardo has on his business is that he has a lot of enemies at his business who wishes to bring him down at any cost someday as some even threatens him to kill him as soon as they get the chance due to the success that his restaurant has.    

 Ricardo walks inside the restaurant’s counter and scans for an empty chair in order to sit down after standing for a long time talking with George.  

When Ricardo arrives at the counter’s table, he then drops off his briefcase on the top of the table and sits down on the chair resting beside the restaurant counter, relaxing after a long walk at the restaurant.

Ricardo whistles at George. “George!”

George takes a glance at his boss and listens carefully at what George is about to say. "Listen, I want you to go inside the kitchen and check if Andrew is there, okay?" Ricardo says.

George nods “Okay”

George leaves the restaurant’s counter immediately as soon as he receives the command from his boss, leaving Ricardo sitting on his chair waiting for the customers.

Shorty Andrew comes out of the kitchen, fixing his wavy hair as he walks heading to the restaurant’s counter after receiving the news from George while wiping flower powder on his reddish skin.

When Andrew arrives at the counter, he finds his boss sitting on his chair noting down things on his notebook as there is no one at the restaurant counter.

“Good morning boss.”Andrew greets.

Ricardo raises his head from the table and takes a glance at Andrew. “Good morning Andrew.” Ricardo greets back.

“George said that you are looking for me” Andrew says.

“Yes I was looking for you Andrew. Take a seat first so that we can talk calmly.” Ricardo says.

Andrew goes to an empty at the restaurant counter and sits down immediately as soon as he arrives.

Ricardo sighs. “Listen Andrew, there is shortage of workers around the restaurant and I would like you to help me on this issue.”

 Andrew knits his brows. “But boss there is a lot of workers around here the restaurant. What is the point of finding other workers here again while there still so many of them.”

“Yes. There is a shortage of workers here at the restaurant and I have noticed that.” Ricardo says.

Andrew raises a brow. “How is that so boss?”

 “Because there is a little number of chefs here at the restaurant and that is not good for the business.”

Andrew sighs. “Okay. what do you want me to do now?”

“I want you to find the best chiefs that you know who are competent with this work and then bring them to me here at the restaurant”

Andrew pauses for while, thinking of the chefs that he knows as he glances upward in a deep concentration.  

“I think… There is someone who is going to fit at this restaurant” Andrew says.

Ricardo furrows his brows and asks, “Who is it?”
