A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 42

*Prathap Pov*

"I specifically mentioned to both of you to not let me have any work for today evening. You guys forgot that I need to attend the premiere?" I asked Deepak frowning while checking the dish Bharghav prepared just now which caused a problem for the customer.

"We will manage this matter. You just go!" he mumbled from the back while I ignored his words tasting a bite of it.

"Didn't the customer mention any kind of allergic reactions he could have?" I asked standing up.

"No! We ask everyone to specify any such conditions and we did the same but he didn't say anything." Deepak mumbled.

"The staff that went with the customer just called. He seems to have an allergy to mushrooms." Deepak's assistant rushed to the kitchen area with the phone in hand.

"Why did he order a mushroom dish?" Deepak asked her frowning.

"He didn't know! It seems the allergy effect increased over a period of time. So, before they didn't think about this matter at all and ignored any kind of effects he had." She calmly explained.

We both sighed in relief before I gestured Deepak to remove the plate while checking the time.

Everything was going fine and mainly when I found her posting those pictures of our moments with the baby last week, I thought there wouldn't be any problem.

But the main day which would help me to show her that I will not let her go to these important events alone, a mess had to happen.

I was about to leave the restaurant but there were suddenly shouts from inside and found the customer gasping unable to breathe when I rushed to find the reason behind the noise.

I immediately rushed him to the hospital in my car with two kitchen staff members while making sure to keep the customers calm instead of making them worry.

Somehow, none of them abruptly leave the place but the looks of doubt were still present and I had to check the dish after calming the customers hoping there is not something wrong with the ingredients even though I know Bharghav wouldn't do any such mistake but I just want to be sure and it's my duty also.

"I am already depressed that I am not attending the premiere and now on top of that this tension. At least we escaped from any legal suit." Bharghav mumbled finally after being silent from the moment this incident happened.

"Okay! Deepak will explain to the customers and hopefully, there is no negative impact on us. Now, I will take my leave if there is nothing else for me to do." I said checking the time and they all nodded.

"Are you sure? Don't take the pressure on yourselves. I think it will be better if I explain the matter." I added frowning while having difficulty in deciding.

"Go!" Deepak and Bharghav shouted and I immediately rushed out of the restaurant only to realize I don't have my vehicle with me.

At least I messaged her that I will be late but hope she didn't leave on her own. Finally able to get a cab, I reached the agency and sighed in relief finding her sitting in the lounge.

"Sorry about that! Suddenly the customer fell down and he had some allergy issues and I had to stay back to handle it." I rushed out the words the moment I reached her side after running to reach her side and she glanced up to stare at me.

"Sit down!" she mumbled patting the space beside her and I followed her words while she unscrewed the cap of the water bottle on the table.

After turning to my direction, she stared at me for a few seconds and passed the bottle and by that time my breathing also relaxed a bit.
