Richest Mogul

Chapter 1931

Manfred and Vivian had barely settled into their seats when lemon tea and an assortment of appetizers arrived at the table. Unsure of Parlay Restaurant's specialties, Vivian watched as Manfred, clearly familiar with the menu, placed their order with ease.

The dish names were elegant, almost cryptic, leaving little clue about what would actually appear on the plates.

Curious, Vivian pushed open the window beside her. The street outside still held a few lingering passersby despite the late hour, and several carriages were parked near the restaurant.

"The owner of Parlay Restaurant really knows how to run a business," Vivian remarked, taking in the opulent surroundings.

The restaurant spanned nearly half the street, standing without competition nearby. Inside, luxury draped every detail ornate furnishings, rich fabrics, and waitstaff chosen not just for their efficiency but for their youthful charm. Live musicians played gentle melodies, making each meal an experience rather than just a routine.

Manfred said, "You're right. Parlay Restaurant is like this every day. From the moment they open at noon until late into the night, there's never an empty seat."

As they spoke, servers arrived with their dishes, each plate more exquisite than the last. The aromas alone hinted at the culinary mastery behind each creation. Vivian inhaled deeply, her anticipation growing. "It smells so good."
