Chapter 48 - The Bodyguards Joined The Feast...

Although Tanaga could not join them for dinner, the children still enjoyed the feast that was prepared for them.

Jeff insisted that Arman join them, supported by Akira pleading to her uncle. So, Arman stayed and had dinner with them so that he could spend a little more time with Akira.

The Head Chef and his crew created a wonderful feast for them to enjoy. Beautiful settings after settings were coming out of the kitchen, personally supervised by the Head Chef as they were brought to the table.

When the children saw the food, their mouths salivated. It was very different from the food they have daily at the Royal Academy. Pearl couldn't help but think, if only Prince Edmund was able to join them, it would have been wonderful.

Ava was thinking the same thing, but she was thinking of their bodyguards that were more like older sisters to them. So, with that in mind, she tugged on her father's sleeve and looked at him with her puppy dog eyes while he was busy speaking with Arman.

"Dad... Would it be too much if our bodyguards and yours too, could have a table and enjoy the same food? They have been working so hard protecting us and taking care of us. Please!!!!" Pleaded Ava while looking at her father with sadness in her eyes.

Akira and Pearl heard what Ava just asked Jeff and both copied her. "Please, uncle Jeff!!!" Both girls said simultaneously.

Jeff and Arman both laughed out loud after hearing the girls plead for their bodyguards to eat with them. Jeff looked at Arman and Arman looked at Jeff. Without speaking a word to one another, Arman called one of the servers to come.

When the server arrived, Jeff gave the order to arrange another table near them for their bodyguards. This way, if any problem arose, all of them were nearby and ready to protect their charge.

The three girls thanked Jeff and Arman before they turned their attention back to the feast in front of them and started digging in. Jeffrey was having fun watching the girls enjoy the dinner; he couldn't help himself and join in.

While they were eating, Pearl took picture after picture of the food on the table. She made sure that only the food was visible and none of them were in the picture. She planned on posting them on her blog once they get back to their villa.

Jeff's two bodyguards were stunned, along with Chupsy, Pisces, and Mary. They were ushered to a table nearby to sit and have dinner. They couldn't decline when Jeff himself went to their table and ordered for them to all eat.

The other customers in the restaurant were curious about the identities of the people on their table. Some began asking their servers as they served them.

"Do you know who they are?" Asked one of the food bloggers who happened to be dining there.

The server looked at the direction the blogger pointed at, which was where Jeff and the children were enjoying the feast. When the server saw their General Manager and another distinguished gentleman, he had an idea that he was one of their big bosses with his family. He knew better than to divulge their identities.

"Oh, them... They are VIP customers." That was all he said before rushing to finish what he was doing so he could leave.

The food blogger was disappointed that he couldn't find out the identities of the VVIP customers. However, he thought that it would help boost his following if he could add them to his blog. He wanted to take a picture of them but was afraid that he would get into trouble and decided against it.

At one side of the restaurant across from where Jeff and the children were seated. The Duke of Edinburgh, who is Lady Crystal's father, was having dinner with a woman; she was a friend of his and was a famous personality in the entertainment business. The famous actress was curious as to who those handsome men were with the four beautiful children.

When the server came to serve their food, she couldn't help herself and ask nonchalantly.

"Excuse me, would you mind telling me who those people are over there? What's the occasion? It seems the head Chef is personally taking care of them." She looked so beautiful with her eyes fluttering in front of the server that he didn't realize what he said.

The server turned and looked for a moment before saying, "Ah, one of the men is our General Manager, and the other one is our CEO." He said while he was pouring the wine into the actress's glass.

"Hmmm, thank you!" That was all she said before she turned her attention back to the Duke of Edinburg, who was mesmerized by her beauty and was listening intently while she was having a conversation with the server.

"Duke, sweetheart... Do you think you can find a way to introduce me to them? I have an upcoming movie that is looking for a resort just like this one to film in, and I would like to secure the place." The actress said sweetly while she moistened her lips as she looked straight into his eyes.

"Sure, honey! I'll make sure that you get to meet with them. Let's eat and enjoy this wonderful meal." Said the Duke while their hands were intertwined on the top of the table where people could see.

After hearing the Duke's answer, the actress happily picked up her fork and ate as sensually as she could to tempt the person in front of her.

After dinner, Jeff let the children walk around the resort for a short while. Then, he received a message from maître d' that the Duke of Edinburg would like a word with him and Arman.

"Children, why don't you all walk around and check out the resort. Don't go too far; once I finish what I need to do, I will take you all back to the Royal Academy." Said Jeff as they were getting ready to leave the restaurant.

The children happily agreed to Jeff's suggestion. As soon as Jeff and Arman turned around to leave, they were like a whole bunch of little kids instead of teenagers and began roaming around the resort excitedly with their bodyguards following right behind.
