Shun began to loosen the blue ribbon on the box, it was also wrapped with a red-clothed. And after unknotting the second wrapping, four big boxes were inside and there"s also an envelope.He opens the boxes and found it was also wrapped with a foil wrapper to keep its freshness. The food is still warm. He unrolls the wraps and the mouth-watering smell of the food hunger him.
Giant prawn cooked in coconut milk and the other boxes is fried squid ring onions. There is also a fried fish with a sauce in a different container wrapped in plastic cellophane and crabs.
But still 10 o"clock in the morning, too early for lunch but his mouth is now tempted to taste them. He picks up some squid rings and put it on his mouth. Wow.
He then remembered the envelope. He opens it and the handwriting is own by Ca.s.sie. He quickly read the letter inside.
"Brother Shun,
How are you today?
I heard yesterday from Mr. Jing that Mr. Thomas will be sail going back to Mainland City to pick up some materials for the school"s covered court.
Perfect timing Uncle Jong bought some prawns and squids. They are freshly caught! So I tried the recipe I saw on the internet.
I am not sure if it will taste like the one on the internet. Then what do you think, brother Shun? The first try I made wasn"t turn out that good even though Joanna and auntie Ling said it is good.
That"s why I try it again and they said its better than the first one I made. Hopefully, it was truly turn out good. I am sure you are familiar with these recipes and have eaten them already. I also tried the sweet and sour fish fillet. I have no confidence with the sauce I made. Unless I have those ingredients listed on the internet.
I saw more recipes but am not familiar to most ingredients that written in English. I searched Google for the pictures but it can"t be found in the market here nor the seasonings that needed.
I"ll try to ask Mr. Ian if could find something in the Mainland City. He comes to the city every month to buy the ingredients for the resort."
Reading someone"s name, Shun"s face is now frowning. He remembers who is that guy. The resort manager of the Seagull Resort and the brother of that kid.
He almost forgets about them already, now he remembers again. Shun continue reading Ca.s.sie"s letter while eating the squid rings. He did not notice that he was almost eaten half of it. When he realized, he licks his finger when suddenly his secretary entered his office without knocking this time.
"What is it?" he asked in a serious tone.
His secretary realizes her mistake, she right away bowed and asked forgiveness for not knocking. Fear began registering on her face.
"What do you want?"
"President, the chefs" asking if what lunch do you like today." The secretary glances at the lunch boxes in the table. On her mind, who"s the wife sent food to her boss? That person has a gut to get close to the president.
"Tell them no need. You can leave now."
The secretary is hesitant to leave but then she bowed and left the office. She called the kitchen and said, someone sent food for the president and he"s eating it. The kitchen was in disbelief.

Shun close the boxes and store them inside his fridge. He glances at his wrist.w.a.tch and it is just 10:30 o"clock.
He sits back in front of his table then pick up his phone. "Daichi, give me the phone number of Thomas."
"Huh? Why?"
"Don"t ask, just forward me his number." Shun ended the call.
Daichi sent the number he was asking and immediately he dialed it.
"h.e.l.lo? Who is this?"
"It"s me, President Crow."
"Master Crow!" the other line suddenly was fidgeting.
"Meet me to this address, I will send a text of the place."
"Okay, Master!"
He ended the call and browse his computer. When he found what he is looking for, he contacted someone from Hiryuu Island.
Shun get up from his chair and pick up his coat.
"Mariel, cancel my meeting this lunch and move it tonight."
"Okay, President Crow. Are you going out?"
"Yes. I"ll be back later." Shun turn around and did not wait for his secretary to speak again.
His secretary bowed behind him and just watching him entering the elevator. Shun went to his private garage inside this hotel where his different cars were parked… from the most expensive to the older model he kept.
He chooses the older car to not attract so much attention. He will be going to meet Thomas. He sent the address of their meeting place and when he arrived, Thomas was already in the area, accompanied by the other two people.
They immediately bowed to him when he walks towards them.
"Master Shun."
"Thank you, gentlemen, for coming."
"Ah… of course, Master Shun."
"I heard that you will be going back to the island right away?" he asked.
"Yes, Master."
"Alright. I hope I did not bother you all for taking your time instead of visiting your family."
"Of course not, Master!" The three answered at once.
"I"ll be most grateful."
The three men dropped their mouth on the ground. Shun suddenly bows at them. They are not worthy of it.
"Then, let"s go."
The three men were in dazed, no, they were more in shock. But what they mostly wonder, why is the Master asking them to meet in front of the Mainland City Supermarket?
The Master will do the shopping? Isn"t he has thousands of employees and private men to asks doing it?
Including them, they are indirect men of Crow Corporation. If the Master would ask them doing some grocery shopping, they would gladly do it themselves.
The three men just following him entering the largest supermarket in this city. Here will find both local and imported goods, vegetables, spices, meat, and anything.
