Chapter 1267 Chapter 1267: The moment he stepped out the door, he encountered several tall men dressed in black uniforms. Their faces were blank, and they exuded an intimidating presence.
The owner stepped back in surprise. Patrick, positioned centrally, steadied the owner with a reassuring smile. "Mr. Ramos, our boss requests a meeting with you." "Who are you?" Jameson Ramos, the owner, asked, eyeing Patrick with suspicion.
Patrick responded with a friendly smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Ramos, we mean no harm. Our boss simply wishes to talk." Patrick added, trying to reassure him, "By the way, our boss is Rhys, the CEO of the Green Group." He hoped mentioning Rhys' title would build strust.

The walls of the alley were worn, giving off an old-world charm. The cement road had clearly aged, and a leaking pipe at the shop's entrance quietly mirrored the pedestrians as they passed by.
At the entrance to the alley, a black SUV was parked. A man leaned nonchalantly against it, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
Jameson followed Patrick over to the man tentatively, his voice shaky as he said, “Mr. Green, is there something you need from me?" Though unfamiliar with the man before him, Jameson sensed the man's significant presence and instinctively addressed him with respect. Rhys was leaning casually.
Against the car, dressed in a simple gray hoodie, Rhys' aura was as dominant as that of an emperor.
Upon hearing Jameson, Rhys passed his cigarette to an aide and straightened up, his gaze cold and detached. "Mr. Ramos, my wife is a fan of your dishes. I would like to offer you a position as our personal chef." It was clear he had cto recruit Jameson.
However, Jameson declined instantly. "Thanks for your offer, but I have no interest in working as a private chef." "I can offer you anything you desire," Rhys responded, his tone unyielding. He faced Jameson with a stern expression.

Jameson then turned to leave, but the guards courteously but firmly steered him back. Still, his resolve did not waver. Despite the pressure, he was not prepared to yield.
Patrick observed the situation with concern. Rhys was flawless in many ways but often too aloof with others, with Harlee being the sole exception. Patrick interjected, “Mr. Ramos, please consider before declining. I understand your attachment to your shop. We have no intention of making you close it. Our boss simply wishes for your services at his home. when required."
Remson Manor had various chefs, and they wanted Jameson available solely for the potential scenafor where Harlee experienced severe morning sickness. Rhys aimed to have her preferred meals on hand.
"Our boss's wife is pregnant," Patrick added, hoping to clarify the urgency. "He's concerned about potential morning sickness and wants to ensure we have chefs she admires." Upon hearing this, Jameson's expression softened, though he still disagreed. "This is a significant decision. I'll need to think about it," he said.
