Chapter 422 – UNIQUE PLACE TO EAT
Luiz didn't miss telling Clarisse about this event when they came out of the sanctuary. He also shared the video to her to let her see from the very beginning.
Their next destination was the butterfly sanctuary. It wasn't really a huge place like the aviary but was still huge to house different kinds of butterflies. Just like the aviary, there were trees, shrubs and different kinds of flowers inside the cage. And they were all placed inside a big net to prevent the caterpillars from crawling out.
Even if they can't really interact with the butterflies, they were still happily looking around and taking pictures of the colorful butterflies. There was a little museum at the end of the trail where they can get inside and read many butterfly trivia. There were different souvenirs with butterflies on them as well.
Stefan bought three hairpins for Cayenne and a cute jewelry box printed with colorful butterflies. The other bought whatever kind of souvenirs they liked as well.
After the whole trip, it was just half an hour before lunch. So, they decided to look for a restaurant to have lunch together before going back to the resort.
There were many restaurants around but there weren't many vacant seats which means the guards won't be around to stand by closely and watch over them.
"How about we just split into several groups?" Luiz suggested. "I mean, we cannot really wait for all of them to finish before getting seats. We cannot make online reservation as well because they all offer walk-in diners."
"That's also fine." Stefan replied in agreement. "But that means you'll have to look for restaurants again. Anyway, we still have time before lunch break, Ayen and I will look for a different restaurant. Just stick together and we'll call you to come."
"Okay."
Stefan drove his car and looked around the area once again. The island never lacked tourists any time of the day which was why the restaurants don't need reservations because they knew that their place will be packed with walk-in diners.
Cayenne and Stefan drove for another ten minutes when the passed by a relatively quite place. Unlike the other restaurants which was fully packed with people. Stefan stopped the car and both of them stepped out to look at the place. Inside the restaurant were few people who were eating quietly. They didn't talk loudly and they didn't yell to call out the waitress or waiter. It was really quiet.
"Excuse me?" Cayenne walked to the counter and talked to the lady. "Is the place reserved by someone?"
"No." The woman answered with a faint smile. "Do you want to take a seat?"
"Oh, yes." Cayenne smiled happily. I'll call my family to come over."
The lady just smiled and ushered them to the vacant table. "You must be wondering why it's very quiet, right?"
"Yes. I'm a bit curious why we're talking in low voices." Cayenne answered honestly. She won't lose anything anyway if she says what's in her mind.
"Actually, this place is being managed by people with handicaps. Our staff here, excepts for me, they're all mute and deaf."
"I see." Cayenne nodded her head. "This is actually a good idea. It's also peaceful."
The lady also returned a smile to them. "Would you like to order now or wait for your family to come first?"
"I'd like to wait for them first." Cayenne answered.
After getting her response, the lady left them alone to go back to work. Stefan already sent a message to Luiz and informed him of some reminders regarding the restaurant. Being civil people, they didn't want to make insensitive remarks later because they didn't know the rules. Saying mean things, whether it's intentional or not, can hurt the people around them. So, they had to be careful.
In any case, there were reminders written placed on the center table for the customers.
Everyone arrived five minutes later and they quietly stepped inside the place to find Cayenne and Stefan. The lady told the staff earlier that they were a whole family so, they helped arranged additional tables to make an extension of the place that the couple occupied.
Cayenne thanked them and the lady she talked to made a sign language towards the other staff. They all smiled at them and bowed their heads as well.
They started giving the menu and instead of saying their orders, they just pointed out the dishes they wanted and the waitress and waiter would just write down the names on the paper they were holding.
This time, the guards and weren't sitting far from the family but they were sitting right next to them, sharing the same table and the same food. They talked softly, making sure that they won't disturb the other diners who likes to maintain peace and quiet inside the restaurant.
"Your food will be ready in fifteen minutes." The staff told Cayenne after handing the lists of orders to the chef. The kitchen got busy and they could hear the faint sounds of utensils clanking each other. There was a glass screen in front of the kitchen which allows customers to see how the food was being prepared and how clean the restaurant was.
It was even better because the chefs don't talk with each other, preventing from saliva spreading in the air. Cayenne took pictures of the place because she would include it on her next video. In that way, the place will get more publicity and there will be more customers next time.
As promised, the waitresses and waiters came out one after another with several trays of food. They put it down silently on the table and after putting all the dishes, they took out a small board under the card which has some words written on it.
'Have a great meal.' That's what it says.
They thanked the staff again and started eating the food that they ordered. Normally, Stefan would serve his wife before himself but this time, Cayenne beat him to it. She placed food on his plate first before putting food on her own. "Let's have a great meal."
Stefan just smiled helplessly, pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head.
"Oh please. We're eating. It's not time for desserts yet. Stop being sweet." Luiz commented when he caught sight of the sweet little gesture again.
With his words, everyone couldn't stop themselves from laughing.
