Chapter 217 - 217: Eat With Us

This bone should be the scapula. There is an acromion on sheep's scapula but not on pigs'. It's easy to tell. Sheep belong to bovine, while pigs belong to Suidae animals. There are great differences in animals of different families."

The manager was dumbfounded by her analysis but still argued, "Nonsense. Our restaurant is a national chain belonging to a well-known financial group. It is not something you can slander casually!"

Albert frowned, "Which financial group is so stupid that it would do such a stupid thing to ruin its fame? The bigger the consortium, the more honest it will be. Your financial group must be an empty shell, is it?"

The manager patted his chest proudly, "No. We're chain restaurants of the Pearson Group."

Albert was speechless.

Sophia gave Albert a sympathetic look in silence.

Albert stood up and said, "Excuse me."

Sophia knew what he would do and just let him go.

After a while, Albert returned. He didn't say anything and just sat down somewhere.

The manager was still trying to prove that what he was selling was mutton, not pork. He noticed that someone was secretly photographing him in his back and was even more anxious. If this went online, he would be in trouble.

Just then, someone came in from the outside. The man looked quite angry and scolded the manager on seeing him, "How dare you! You dare to pass off pork as mutton?"

When the manager saw the man, he hurriedly said, "Sawyer, what are you doing here?"

The man who was called Sawyer said angrily, "What do you think I'm doing here? You're ruining the business. How can I not come? You're fired. Pack your things now and get out of here!"

The manager had not expected that it would startle the regional headquarter in less than half an hour, and Sawyer arrived so soon. He gave an aggrieved look and said, "It's not my fault. These people come to make trouble. And they say they are somewhat high achievers. I think they must be hired by the restaurant opposite and are trying to ruin our reputation. Sawyer, we should call the police and sue them for stigmatization."

Sawyer suddenly raised his hand, slapped him in the face, and said to the onlookers, "I'm very sorry, everyone. We will find out what's going on. This is our responsibility. The store will be temporarily closed until everything is clear. Other chains will be closed for a day to confirm that nothing similar has happened before they reopen. I'm very sorry. All of you will be free of charge today, and you can get a voucher of one hundred dollars as compensation. Of course, if you don't want it, you can get fifty dollars in cash. I'm really sorry!"

His words were sincere, and he made it clear that the store would pay compensation. The guests said they could understand it. For the Triple Sheep, they thought it should be trustworthy. After all, it was an old brand. So many people chose the vouchers, which could be used as cash here.

However, some people chose fifty dollars. The accident made them suspicious of the Triple Sheep and didn't want to try other chains.

As the guests dispersed, Sawyer walked up to Albert and said with respect, "What else can I do for you, Sir?"

Albert said, "We haven't had lunch today. We just had… I feel a little nauseous. Where do you think we should go for lunch?"

Sawyer said, "We have a chain in the other street. It's our flagship store. There's definitely no problem with the food there. How about…?"

Albert frowned, "No. I don't want to eat mutton anymore."

When he heard mutton, he thought of sheep's urine said by Louie and had no appetite at all.

Louie didn't know Albert's identity and thought Sawyer was trying to make amends by being polite. He didn't think the fake mutton was necessarily the problem of every Triple Sheep restaurant. After all, they had restaurants all over the country. He ate in Lands City, and there was no problem.

He didn't want to embarrass Sawyer, and said, "Thanks. We can go out to eat."

Sawyer hurriedly said, "No, no. How about this? I'll cook a few dishes for you myself. There are a lot of other dishes here besides mutton, and my skill is as good as any cook's."

He said, without waiting for Louie to refuse, he went straight to the kitchen.

Louie was a little embarrassed. "Well...The general manager cooked for us himself is it a bit..."

"Yeah," said Sophia.

She knew that Sawyer was not trying to make amends to his guests but to Albert. He didn't do it, but he had the fault of lax supervision. If he were to be held accountable, he would lose the position of general manager.

Albert sat in the chair and looked at his phone, taking everything for granted. Sawyer was just the general manager of a chain in the area, and he was just a low-level employee of the Pearson Group. In addition, he should be responsible for the accident, and cooking for them was just a small punishment for him.

If he would not let him cook, he must mean firing him.

Sawyer cooked quickly. Not long after, four dishes and one soup were prepared. There were meat and vegetarian, color, and fragrance. Indeed, as he said, he was very good at cooking.

After serving the dishes, he said, "Please enjoy!"

Then he turned to leave.

"Eat with us," Sophia said.

Sawyer stayed, "Me?"

Sophia smiled, "Of course. You cooked so many delicious dishes, how can you not eat with us? Come on."

Sawyer took a careful look at Albert and saw that nothing had changed on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he sat down.

He was hungry. Before, just as he was about to eat, he got a call from Albert and then hurried here. Then he started handling things here. After everything was done, he was so starved.

For Sawyer, to eat with the successor of the Pearson Group was probably once in his life. This young man rarely showed in public.. Occasionally, he showed on the high-level meetings or showed to deal with problems in the important companies.
