After placing an order on the restaurant's website, she watched short videos on pawgram laughing at the funny ones under the warm light it seems as if she was glowing, seeing this scene Fenric felt his eyes sting immediately taking his eyes of her. A knock came from the door followed by a voice indicating the delivery person presence after getting her food, she plated Fenric portion for him while she eat her own, after tasting Lyria's cooking Fenric was disdainful of other foods making him lose appetite after a few bite but seeing how Lyria seems to be enjoying the dish with her mouth filled like an hamster, he unknowingly ate all the food.
That night, when a chill crept in, Lyria subconsciously pulled Fenric into her arms. His furry body was like a warm furnace.
The next day, after checking Fenric's wounds and confirming they were healing well, Lyria bathed him before cleaning up herself. She then took him along to the newly rented building, where they waited for the renovators to arrive.
Before long, a white van bearing the renovation company's logo pulled up. Two mole-beast fecunds stepped out and entered the building.
"Good day, Miss Snowpelt. My name is Tom, and this is Max."
"Nice to meet you," she replied with a smile. "Please, just call me Lyria". Going straight to the point "what I want has already been designed, I'm aiming for something similar to my other café."
She handed them the HoloClaw, which displayed images of Lyria's café. Swiping to the next page, she added, "This here is the additional section I want to be included, since this building is larger compared to the other one. If you feel I've missed anything, I'm open to suggestions."
"not at all this is alright, Miss Lyria," Tom said after a moment. "This is already fantastic. I don't think there's anything to add. What do you think, Max?"
"Same here," Max agreed, eyes shining. "I'm amazed already. I can't wait to bring this to life."
"Good," Lyria said. "Since they will be no additions, and I don't want to waste too much of your time, you can get started."
She then picked up Fenric, who had been wandering around inspecting the building, as the workers began their tasks. As the workers got to work. The renovation took about a week, with delays caused by material deliveries and adjustments along the way.
In a comfortable room, a beastwoman with long, flowing pink hair examined a fox's bandaged limb and chest. "Foxy, your wound healed up so fast. By tomorrow, the bandages can be removed." She paused, looking at him thoughtfully. "I will be leaving soon, so I have decided to keep you as a pet. Would you like to follow me?" Lyria asked while looking at the fox. the past days together made Lyria realize that it was very intelligent, yet seeing it lack of expression she felt maybe she was just reading meaning to it actions.
Fenric looked at the woman whose presence he had grown accustomed to and felt a faint reluctance to leave her side. However, he had many matters to attend to. The other gangs in the capital were already growing restless, believing him dead. Thinking of them, his eyes flashed with murderous intent. That night while Lyria was sleeping Fenric left the inn. At the opposite side of the street, a black luxury PlumeDrive was parked, Beside it stood a minx beast fecund dressed in a black suit. As Fenric approached, the fecund bowed lightly before opening the door. Fenric shifted forms and changed into the suit already prepared inside the car.
The driver glanced at his boss from the rearview mirror, seeing the man's shoulder-length white hair and piercing emerald-green eyes. He thought of the beastwomen who had been charmed by Fenric's smile and rumored easy-going personality. A cold glance from those eyes made the driver shudder and look away; he knew better than those who thought this cold-hearted man was easy-going.
""Sir, where to?"
"The villa," Fenric responded in a cold voice. His gaze lingered on Lyria's window at the inn as the car began to move.
The next morning, Lyria rolled around on the bed with her eyes still closed, stretching lazily.
"Mmm… wait…"She opened one eye and reached out, her hands groping around the sheets in search of that familiar furry warmth. When she felt nothing, she opened her other eye and turned to the side.
"foxy?" sitting up from the bed, she rubbed her eyes as she stretched against .
"Foxy, where are you?"
after looking around a sense of unease crept in. She searched the room again, more carefully this time, then went downstairs to ask the inn staff and the owner. All of them shook their heads, denying that they had seen the fox.
After an entire morning of searching, Lyria finally accepted the truth, he had probably left on his own. She didn't even know where he had come from. Feeling quite sad, she whispered, "You could have at least said goodbye."
Suppressing the sadness weighing on her chest, she forced herself back to work.She placed a call to the suppliers she had previously contacted for the ingredients that will be needed at the café, confirming their delivery dates. Once that was settled, she called Tessa.
"How's the training for the chefs going?" Lyria asked.
"Very well. Most of them are ready," Tessa replied confidently.
"Good. Send them to the capital for further training."
"Understood, ma'am."
The call ended, and Tessa headed straight for the kitchen to relay the instructions to Eron.
"Eron, I need the list of people who are prepared and have learned the recipes well. They will be going to the capital as of next week."
"Alright," Eron replied after a brief thought. "There are three chefs and four waiters who've mastered everything they need."
"we will send two chefs and three waiters, so just choose the best of them" Tessa said before leaving to check other details.
Meanwhile, in Feloris, Lyria reviewed the files Tessa had sent over —each containing the staff's profiles and current status. As she read, she began planning suitable staff quarters for those who would soon arrive in the capital. Time passed unnoticed as she worked. Then, without warning, a familiar alert echoed in her mind.
DING!
