"What!?"
"Your head chef left three days ago?"
After hanging up the phone, Marchello frowned deeply and sat quietly in his office, lost in thought, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk.
"Nagishiro Sho has been gone for three days, and Raphael disappeared two days ago. Strange, very strange."
"If I remember correctly, just before that we were at his restaurant discussing dishes together."
"These two disappeared one after the other, could it be...?"
A flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he suddenly stood up.
"Damn it, I knew it, Raphael must have gone to find Lin!"
"For someone who's never skipped work without reason to leave the entire kitchen team, it must be because they hit a bottleneck."
Just thinking about those two sneaking off to learn skills from Lin made Marchello a bit restless.
Although things were going relatively smoothly on his end, who would mind learning more?
"No way, since today's a day off, I've got to go check it out too!"
