CH887 Meeting of Rose General and Ice Empress II
***
"Auntie!"
Megan called out towards the kitchen as she entered the restaurant.
"Megan?"
A slightly old woman, with scattered patches of grey hair, walked out of the kitchen at the back of the order counter.
"You girl are finally here," she said fondly.
"I am sorry, Auntie. I have been busy. I came as soon as I was done with what I had to do at the castle," Megan greeted her with a smile and explained.
She moved to hug the old woman.
The grease stains on the woman's apron didn't bother her as she hugged the woman nonetheless.
"How's your mother these days?" the woman asked.
"She's fine. But she's been bored. She misses her best friend," Megan said.
"Her best friend misses her too." The woman laughed gently. She winked at Megan. "If she's free, she can always come help me at the restaurant. I would be able to draw up a lot of customers if she just works here for a week."
Megan chuckled wryly.
