Felix merely said placidly, “We’ve heard him talk about you too.”

“Let’s eat,” Jessica suggested. Remy was still mooning.

Casper and Colton ate with gusto, though Felix could not help but look at Jessica and Remy from time to time. He would then shake his head surreptitiously before he continued eating.

Remy peeled a bunch of shrimps for Jessica, who only nibbled at a small piece.

Remy pushed down the disappointment he felt at the sight.

As their meal was coming to a close, Jessica casually commented, “Mr. Simpson, I heard from Remy that you recently opened the Tycoon restaurant. How does it compare to our family’s restaurant?”

Casper replied proudly, “The difference in standards is huge. The Tycoon is perhaps the best restaurant in Horington; an average restaurant could never match up to it.”

Jessica fumed at his rudeness, while Felix rejoiced at the ugly expression on her face.

That’s what you get for sinking your claws into my friend with hidden motives!

Felix added, “He’s right. The ambiance of that restaurant is a hundred times better than this hovel. It’s perpetually crowded, and deservedly so. I couldn’t help but notice business here isn’t as booming.”

“Y-you-”

Remy’s face darkened as he gritted, “Felix, Casper, that’s enough.”

Felix stopped himself when he saw Remy’s discomfort. Jessica’s expression seemed to have turned better at the words.

Pursing her lips, she stared at Casper. “You must have worked hard to propel the Tycoon to where it is today. Why don’t you look around and give me some tips on improving our restaurant?”

Casper lifted his jaw slightly and leaned against his chair. Scoffing, he said, “Frankly, you should hire a new chef. The food here is pretty average.”
