The Broken Prince - Chapter 116

NOTICE:

STILL A PROMOTIONAL UPDATE

He never found it a necessity to impress a woman in his life except from his mum. He’s not bothered by it either since he’s still not ready for having a relationship at this stage of his life. Yvain has already planned his life. At his early age he would dedicate it to his profession, making a name and establishing an image just like his mother and then by the time he gets into his mid-thirties, he would then consider dating and he plans to get married then and having kids and settling down when he is in his sixties.

“Monsieur, we are here.” He looked outside the window of the vehicle and saw that they were in front of the new restaurant.

He was thinking too much that he failed to notice. Filipe opened the vehicle’s door for him and then he stepped out. The outside of the building looked very much fancy, not that he was intimidated, of course he’s gone to even far more luxurious places than this.

“Have you had lunch Filipe?” He turned to ask his chauffeur who was getting back in the vehicle.. ”

Yes monsieur, Bella and I had lunch together.” Filipe stated with a smile.

“All right. Pick me up after an hour. I need to visit mum after this.” He said before walking up the concrete stairs. He heard Filipe saying understood before he heard the ignition of the vehicle roaring away.

A man opened the door for him as he got close to the entrance. ‘Must be an employee’ he thought. When he got inside, the tables were arranged formally. The interior of the place was indeed very fancy, sporting heavy-detailed chandeliers, utensils and all. A woman came up to him dressed in a familiar attire.

“Can I have your name, and have you made reservation?” She asked with a sweet voice.

“Yvain. My assistant made the reservation on my behalf.” He said in a formal tone.

“Y-yes yes of course but can I have your last name please?”

“Yvain?” Just as he was about to answer the lady, someone called him. He looked to where the voice came from and saw Gregorio, his friend way back in high school.

“Gregorio, it’s nice to see you again!” They both hugged each other while wearing a smile. Gregorio had the same age as Yvain. They both went to the same school but took up different fields of profession. Yvain already knew that Gregorio had a fiery passion for cooking thus he wasn’t shocked when the old friend called that he had a new restaurant opening a week prior to date.

“Diana, shouldn’t you be asking our new comers?” Gregorio said upon noticing his employee.

“A-Ah, apologies Senior, I was supposed to be assisting Senior Yvain. I shall go now.” The employee said briefly before scurrying away with her pen and checklist.

“She just called me senior Gregorio.” Yvain complained, making the other chuckle.

“Ah, still hate it?”

“Always will.” Yvain replied, making the other laugh.

“All right now let us find a table. Order as much as you want, it’s on the house.” Yvain looked at him with a smirk.”I wasn’t planning on paying in the first place Gregorio.”

The pair were laughing along. They were catching up over to some things. It turned out that Gregorio already had many restaurants open all over the country which amazed Yvain. Not that he thought Gregorio won’t be able to conform to such heights but because how he managed to build an empire during such small span of time.

“I heard that you haven’t loss any cases you handled yet?” Yvain placed the glass that contained wine on the neat table. He smiled subtly at Gregorio before speaking.

“Well not yet.”

“Ha! What do you mean yet. You won’t lose any with that brain of yours.” Gregorio stated just as how Filipe did making the other roll his eyes playfully.

“You know that that is impossible. No person can possibly win the whole time as life is full of ups and downs. It’s crazy that I know I haven’t lost any cases I have held but I know a storm is coming and all I can do is to try and handle it carefully so that it won’t affect my image that much.” Yvain stated precisely.

It is true that the boy had prepared beforehand because he know that in the field where he works in, no such thing as a winning streak. But you can stay above the fray, and as long as you can do that, you’re a good lawyer. For him at least.

“You always impress me Yvain. You always have your life planned while I’m still here trying things.” Said Gregorio making Yvain chuckle.

“Says the person who’s already running an empire.”

“An empire?! Preposterous! I am barely running a small and cheap restaurant.” Gregorio said over dramatically flailing his arms in a feminine way making the both of them burst into laughter.

“I must not do that when there are a lot of eyes, some might think that I am one of those men who have feelings for the same person. We know what happens to those type of people. They get sent into an asylum for the retarded. Some say that it is contagious. God knows the disgust that I am going to feel if I get infected with that godforsaken disease! I might as well die.” Gregorio said while leaning back into his chair.

They were located in a more secluded place where the place is only exclusive for those who are high up above the hierarchy. It offers a service that only the riches can pay for. Yvain sighed by the remarks of his friend. He unlike Gregorio thinks that everyone should not be so judgmental to these people as they are only being true to themselves.

“Nothing is wrong when it comes to love but his friend thinks otherwise. “Gregorio, you should not be that hostile towards those people. They say karma is always up in your back, what if one of your loved ones is gay or what if your offspring? You wouldn’t want them to be criticized by the way you do to these people. They are humans too and preferring the same gender to love is not a sin. It’s just how they feel.” Gregorio just sighed and took a sip of his drink before calling one of the waitresses.

The two were full of the food they had for lunch. Gregorio demanded everything on the menu to be prepared for them even if Yvain told him not to because they won’t be able to finish all of it and he indeed was right. There were left overs of lobsters, some steak and other food that he’s too tired to name. The waiter came, and Gregorio instructed that the food on the table should be given to some people on the stray that has nothing to eat.

Yvain smiled at the gesture of his friend. Despite him being aloof with the homosexual people, he’s still good hearted and Yvain knows that for sure.

“Ah, Gregorio. May I ask where the comfort room is?” Gregorio dismissed the waitress and looked at him.

“It’s over there, just go to that corner and you’ll find a passage the comfort rooms for the male are on the right and the ladies are on the left. Do you need me to come with you?”

“Ah no need. I’ll be quick. I need to visit mum after this.” Yvain said before standing up. He was walking towards the bathroom and was focused on fixing his necktie when someone bumped towards him. His shoulder felt a punch of ache due to the impact making him groan out.

He looked up, brows meeting and his eyes showing distaste. He came face to face with a man taller than him with dark hair. He was well groomed, and he looked impeccable. His face that was laced with irritation was slightly replaced with admiration. The man in front of him looked very pretty. He usually compliment someone by saying their beautiful or handsome, but he rarely say someone is pretty.

This man was one of those rare people, but he won’t get the chance to hear him say it out loud. The man looked down on him. His face held nothing of sort, not even an apologetic face. The man looked at him once more before walking past him. He looked dumbfounded on the spot as he expected the man to apologize as he was about to, but he didn’t. His face went back to what it was before and showed distaste.

‘He looked very nice, but his manners are nothing like his appearance. What an arrogant person.’ Yvain thought.

He sighed as the man disappeared from his view and turned on his heels, walking towards the comfort room. As soon as he finished his business,he washed his hands and went out. Gregorio was still waiting on the table, but he stood up as soon as he saw Yvain coming near.

“Are you going to head out now?” Gregorio inquired. Yvain nodded before pointing to Filipe who was already waiting outside.

“Ah, okay. Let me escort you outside then attorney.”

“Stop it Greg! It’s embarrassing.” Yvain exclaimed making the other laugh.
