Chapter 1119 If I Like Boss

“Welcome to Mamy Restaurant.”

Mag sent away the last customer with a smile before he turned the sign on the door over. He went in, and smilingly said, “Alright, the rest of the time belongs to us now.”

Amy’s eyes lit up, and she excitedly asked, “Are we eating supper?”

Everyone’s gazes landed on Mag.

Clap, clap.

The restaurant’s lighting suddenly became dim after Mag clapped. At the same time, a few candles were lit. Babla was pushing a small trolley out, and there was a huge ice cream cake on it. There were 18 candles on it, and right at the center was a little figurine that wore a maid’s costume which looked exactly like Yabemiya.

“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you…”

Everyone began to sing the birthday song as they smiled at Yabemiya.

“T-this is?” Yabemiya’s mouth was agape. She stared at the cake and everyone in a shock, and tears soon moistened her eyes.

Mag stepped forward to place a silver crown on her head with a smile, and said, “Happy Birthday, Miya.”

Amy jumped and happily shouted, “Happy Birthday, Big Sister Miya!”

“Happy Birthday, Miya.” Everyone said their blessings and passed her the little gifts that they had prepared.

Elizabeth gazed at the tearing Miya with a smile. Although this lass went through quite a bit of hardship in the past, she had very good companions now.

“Thank you… Thank you…” Miya nodded in reply, holding the gifts with tears in her eyes. She had to tilt her head to make sure the tears didn’t fall out.

In her past, nobody cared about her birthday except for her mother, and nobody would celebrate her birthday and prepare presents for her.

Today, she had a beautiful birthday cake and all sorts of birthday presents in her arms. This extreme happiness had caught her by surprise.

“According to our customs, we have to eat cake on our birthday, and we can make a wish before blowing out the candles. It may come true,” Mag explained to Miya.

“Yes.” Miya nodded. She placed her hands together and closed her eyes in front of the cake full of candles. She started to make a wish sincerely, and only opened her eyes after a while to blow out the candles.

The lights came on again and everyone smiled.

Mag had informed the ladies yesterday that they were going to celebrate Miya’s birthday; only Miya had no idea about it.

“Alright, let’s cut the cake.” Mag passed the knife that was soaked in hot water to Miya.

Miya put the presents aside, and then cut up the ice cream cake into triangular pieces. She placed them on delicate plates, and gave them out to everyone.

“This cake is so delicious,” Amy said with elation after taking a bite.

“Yes. Today’s cake seems to be even more delicious than the usual ones. Could it be that it’s Miya’s birthday cake?” Babla nodded before swiping some cream, and rubbed it onto Miya’s nose.

Everyone was eating the delicious cake, and it became a cake battle later. The ice cream cake felt cold on the face, and it was fun.

Happy laughter reverberated throughout the restaurant, and the ladies even started to dance the new dance that they had just learnt.

Mag was standing at a side, holding a mug of beer. This alternate world’s birthday party was quite a success.

After the revelry, everyone cleaned up the restaurant before they left.

“Thank you, Boss,” Miya said to Mag chokingly as she stepped forward to give him a tight hug.

“This is what I should do.” Mag rubbed the head in front of his chest gently with a smile. He had picked up this lass at his doorstep, and she had always been a lovable girl.

Big Sister Miya is hugging Father, and Father is patting her head gently. Is this considered an overboard behavior? Should I note it down? Amy was deep in thought after seeing the two of them hugging.

Miya lifted her head from Mag’s chest. She suddenly realized she had taken the initiative to hug her boss. She blushed and took two steps back before seriously saying, “From tomorrow onward, I will work even harder!”

“You are already working very hard. Go back and have a good rest.” Mag shook his head with a smile. Miya’s working attitude could only be described as a model worker. He would really feel bad if she worked any harder.

Everyone bade farewell.

“Miya, I am bringing you to a place.” Elizabeth halted on their way back, and turned to look at the blushing Yabemiya.

“Sis, I have something to tell you too.” Miya stopped, and softly said to Elizabeth, “If I like Boss, is there a chance that we could ever be together?”

“You like him?” Elizabeth gazed at Yabemiya with a complicated expression. She looked angry, but seemed to have expected it.

“I don’t know, either.” Yabemiya shook her head with confusion in her eyes. “But, nobody has treated me as nicely as he.

“After escaping from that back kitchen of that little restaurant, I thought I was going to die. He brought me delicious food, and let me stay and become part of the restaurant’s staff. It was he who told me I wasn’t as bad as I thought. He taught me self-confidence and pride. It was also he who allowed me to acquire all the friends and you.”

“I don’t know if I’m really in love with him, but I think no other man will ever be as important to me in my heart as he in the future.”

Yabemiya’s gaze became determined as she smiled at Elizabeth. “I think this may be love.”

Elizabeth looked at Yabemiya for a while with heartache. She couldn’t voice out the words that she was about to say. She finally nodded after a moment of silence. “He is indeed a good person.”

“But, I don’t intend to tell him.” Yabemiya implored Elizabeth, “Can you keep this secret for me?”

“Why? Shouldn’t you tell him about your feelings if you do like him?” Elizabeth asked perplexedly.

“No.” Yabemiya shook her head and sighed. “For a person as outstanding as him, only someone like Miss Gloria or Miss Luna could make a good match with him. I am just a half-dragon, and I don’t know anything. I don’t deserve to be with him.”

Elizabeth looked at Yabemiya who was biting her lips, and her heart suddenly constricted. She grabbed Miya’s hands as she shook her head. “You are not some lowly half-dragon. You are the princess of the Frost Dragon tribe, and you will become a real Golden Dragon.”
