chapter-623
The group was sat down at a large oval table that was placed to the side. There was a little velvet red rope that one would have to unhook to enter the area.
It was clear that it was a seating area that was meant for VIP's or those that had specially booked for it. It was also in the perfect place.
The positioning was great so one could see the live band, and it wasn't too close that you wouldn't be able to have a conversation with each other without the need to shout.
After carefully seating everyone down, the waiter was off, and said that they would be back soon to take their order.
As quickly as one person went off, more went to the table to give complimentary bread and water, and it didn't seem like something the restaurant did, as their table was the only one that had these things on them.It was safe to say that the group had attracted a lot of attention. A lot of those that were seated had a star quality about them, they were head turners, and to top it off they had the camera crew and were now seated in the VIP area as well.
Those in the restaurant believed that they had to be quite important people, maybe those from a higher tier city that were paying a visit.
"I wonder why they are treating us so nice, and gave us this special place? You didn't prepare this in advance did you?" Rachel asked, looking at Elanor.
"No I certainly did not, which was bad planning on my part. My guess is it might be the cameras." Elanor explained. "Often when they see that there is a crew with us, places like this will treat us a bit nicer.
"They know that it's a chance for them to get their restaurant on the big screen, and perhaps make it more popular than before."
"I think it might have been because of Gary." Clem said out loud. "Maybe there was another person that he saved in this restaurant. Or someone who is a big fan of his, after all, they did call out your name."
Gary had a nervous smile."I think it might have been the cameras." Gary answered.
As conversation continued, a waiter arrived and the first person they had gone to was Gary himself, asking him what he wanted.
"I think it's best if you ask the others first." Gary said. "I still haven't decided."
Clem kept on giving Gary the side eye, and each time something was happening she was starting to note it down in her head.
It was clear, they weren't the VIP's, it was Gary. Meanwhile running through Gary's head was how did the situation even come to this?
Little did Gary know that Tyler had played a part, informing everyone and in turn Burnham food street was informed to look out for the Business Tycoon Gary Dem.
Nearly all restaurants on the street had reserved one table for him and his guests, so no matter what restaurant they went to, Gary would still have gotten the same treatment.
Gary had ordered quite a bit of food for himself, he was an Altered after all so the others understood, and it looked like they didn't hold back either.
After all, the one that would be paying the bill was AJ Entertainment. Everyone enjoyed the food and enjoyed the live band but Gary noticed that there was one person among them that was enjoying the band more than the others.
Rachel would continuously stare at the band not focusing on what was happening at the table. At times she would also mime along with the words.
'That's right Rachel is an idol singer.' Gary thought.
"Do you want to sing? I think it would be nice to hear you perform." Gary asked.
"What a great suggestion this way Rachel can share her talents with everyone here as well!" Elanor ecstatically said.
Rachel was starting to become a bit shy, as she curled up her head toward her chest.
"Well, I mean, if they would let me, I wouldn't mind singing." Rachel answered, as it was something she loved to do, no matter what stage there was.
Gary stood up, and went to the toilet, on his way back he decided to speak to one of the staff members. If they were going to overly treat him, then he might as well use it to ask for a favour, and they gave him the go ahead, so Rachel could go up and sing.
"They said it was okay!" Gary said with a thumbs up.
An announcement was made and shortly afterwards Rachel took the stage. The group were just about to have their desserts, but their eyes were glued on Rachel.
A song was requested by the band and she soon sang away. When she started to sing, it was as if all of the nerves had left her body.
She looked like a natural as she moved her body holding the microphone and pouring her heart out.
Gary had sensitive ears, and yet, to his ears it still was a beautiful sound and he could tell she was a truly talented person.
"Okay Gary, I can't take it anymore." Clem whispered as she scooted over to where Gary was.
The others were listening to Rachel or having their own little short conversations, so she thought it was the perfect time.
"Strange things have been happening in this town all night since we came here. Tell me, who are you? Or what did you do for everyone in this whole town for them to treat you so nice. Did you save 10 puppies from a burning building or something?" Clem asked.
Gary smiled at the comment.
"You really want to know the truth? If I told you, you might get a little scared."
"I've seen a lot more than you think, try me." Clem said.
Gary went to look back at Rachel not staring away as he gave the answer.
"The gang that you see everywhere wearing the black and gold, they are the Howlers, a group that took over Slough and changed everything not so long ago, and I am the leader of that Gang… does that answer your question?"
