When two of them were talking, an entourage of 3 people appeared. One middle-aged man looked like Yamada Takeo, one that dressed like a butler and the last was a young man in a suit that looked like a bodyguard suit.
"Father, you have to stop disappearing when we come to the Market!" the middle-aged man said frustrated.
He observed that his father was talking and laughing with a handsome young man.
'That's weird. Father doesn't like talking with strangers' the middle-aged man said.
"Oh, stop it. I am old enough to take care of myself" the old man said but then he remembered that he almost died and felt a little guilty of scaping.
"Father, who is this" the middle-aged man asked.
"Oh, this young man is Theo and he saved my life" the old man said without hesitation. Not planning to hide he almost died.
"What??" the middle-aged man said wide-eyed.
The butler was shocked too and the bodyguard started looking around to see if it had any threats around them.
The old man started explaining what happened and after he finished. The three of them looked at Theo with admiration and gratefulness.
"Theo, did you have breakfast? Why don't you come with us to eat?" the middle-aged man said
"Sure, I would love to." Theo smiled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs they exited the market, they arrived at a luxurious tea shop.
'I think they are rich' Theo looked around the sumptuous tea house.
They arrived at a private room and ordered breakfast.
"So, Theo I want to give you a present for saving my father's life. Is there anything you want?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Oh no. I don't need anything" Theo shook his head.
The four of them looked surprised. They expected him to ask for something as that what usually the reaction of most people to this situation.
But Theo had a completely different thought. He didn't want to depend on anyone. He wanted to be successful by building his empire with his own efforts.
Maybe if he asked them, his business would be many times bigger but Theo wanted to grow his company step by step, experiencing the ups and downs of the journey. After all, the journey is what matters not the destination.
'I knew I wasn't wrong about him' the old man thought.
"Even if you don't want. Please, let me give you something. Alfred, give him the key of the Jeep we were taking home today."
Alfred, the butler, opened the suitcase he was carrying and took a set of keys and some papers.
"This is the key and documents of the car, Gray-sama" Alfred placed them on the table.
Theo was reluctant to accept it but looking at the eyes of the old man and the middle-aged man, who looked at him expectantly and also as if they were gifting some cabbages, he accepted.
"Thank you, Yamada-san, grandpa Takeo" Theo said with a smile.
"I should be the one thanking you for saving my father. Also, you can call me Ezume" the middle-aged man said.
Their food arrived as they were talking.
"What are you doing so early in the morning at the food market, Theo? If you don't mind me asking." The old man asked politely as he sipped the tea.
"I don't mind it" Theo smiled.
"I was searching for food suppliers. I am opening my own restaurant and I wanted a high-end quality supplier to provide for my restaurant. But unfortunately, all the suppliers that meet my standards couldn't supply for me as they have other restaurants to provide." Theo shook his head disappointed.
"You are opening your own restaurant? That is something rare for someone of your age." The old man said with surprise.
"Oh, yeah. I am doing everything by myself and I am loving the process of opening the restaurant." Theo said with a smile that could blind people.
As the family before him could feel his excitement to open his restaurant.
"One of the few problems left before I open the restaurant is the supplier and now, I guess I will have to go with a medium-quality supplier" Theo signed.
"Please let me help you, Theo" the middle-aged man said as he wanted more than a car to repay the young man that saved his father.
"huh" Theo looked at him confused.
"By chance, I know a great high-end food supplier. If you want, Alfred will call by the afternoon with all details to seal the deal." He said enthusiastically
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheo was happy that he could solve his problem.
"Thank you so much, Ezume-san!! You helped me so much!" Theo said almost shouting with happiness.
'He is more excited about our help to his restaurant than our material reward. He is indeed a special young man' father and son thought at the same time.
After they finished a pleasant breakfast full of laughter. They went to the parking lot to show Theo his new car.
As they arrived, Theo noticed 2 cars that looked super expensive. The first one looked like a silver Bentley Continental that appeared to be super classy. And the other was an SUV Jeep that was luxurious with shiny black exterior and silver details all around it, Theo didn't know much about cars but this car seemed a personalized car that cost more than the general version. The 2 cars stole glances at all the people that passed the parking lot.
Theo estimated that the two cars cost at least 1 million dollars each.
Theo followed them and they stopped in front of the two cars. It was then that Theo realized they would give him this car.
'Oh my god. This simple gift from them, cost more than all the money I have in my bank account now' Theo said in his mind baffled.
Theo was somewhat excited. After all, cars are a man's romance.
He too loved beautiful cars.
Theo signed the papers that Alfred gave him and now he was the owner of a G3 Hoffman Personalized Benz SUV Jeep. He liked very much his new car.
They exchanged contact numbers and Theo promised to invite them to the opening of his restaurant.
They said goodbye to each other as the middle-aged man and the old man entered the backseat of the Bentley Continental and Theo entered the driver seat of the G3 Jeep.
Theo drove without any set destination as he enjoyed driving his car. The interior was all silver-colored with tiny gold details. Theo assumed it was pure silver and gold as the Yamada father and grandpa seemed to have ordered a personalized car for someone and they were rich so they could afford to use silver and gold in this car.
The car was super technological too. It had some features he had seen in some extreme luxury cars in his past life through the internet.
'Now, I don't have to take cabs everywhere I go' Theo said in his mind happily as he parked his car in front of his apartment.
