Chapter 560: Surprise Inspection


    ?


    Sunday, January 24th.


    Anne and Arthur slept soundly that night as they didn''t have to work that Sunday as their reservation for the ''Pork House'' Restaurant was only tomorrow, Monday.


    Knowing that she had the day off, Anne decided to visit her sister that lived in Elffire City.


    A whileter, Anne exited the taxi after paying the fare.


    She was in front of a typical suburban house, just by looking at it, we could imagine that a typical suburban family lived in it.


    Anne rang the doorbell and soon after a younger version of herself opened the door. "Nee-chan!" The woman shouted in happiness before hugging Anne tightly.


    "Vero-chan, we just saw each other a couple of weeks ago." Anneughed heartily as she hugged her sister back.


    "And I missed you dearly in these two weeks!" Veronica replied promptly.


    Anne could onlyugh and attend to her little sister''s wishes.


    A whileter, the two women entered the house and sat down on the living room couches.


    "Where are the kids?" Anne asked as she looked around the empty house.


    "Nick went fishing with his father and Ally is at her friend''s house. In her words, she had to enjoy her vacation before she had to go back to school in February." Veronica replied with an annoyed face.


    "Teenagers, huh?" Anne said with a giggle.


    "The worst thing is that John told me he will arrivete with Nick, so we''ll miss the reservations in a great restaurant that opened in the city recently." Veronicained.


    "You shouldn''t even be surprised at this point, my brother-inw is addicted to fishing." Anne said as she shook her head.


    "But I waited for so long to go to this new restaurant." Veronica stubbornlyined. "What restaurant is this?" Anne asked curiously.


    "I knew you wouldn''t be able to hold yourself." Veronicaughed, "It is called ''The Spark'' Restaurant, and it opened around 6 months ago."


    Anne could onlyugh helplessly when she heard her sister''s remark, Veronica was one of the few people that knew that Anne was an Aether Inspector, so she wasn''t able to hide much from her sister.


    "Really? But the ce is really good or it''s only hearsay?" Anne asked.


    "I know what you mean." Veronica said, "But I visited the ce with the people from work around 3 months ago. And I can say for sure that the food I ate there was one of the best dishes of my life."


    Anne was taken by surprise when she heard what her sister said.


    "I know what you gonna ask, and the answer is no. Although I don''t have your expertise to judge these things, in my personal opinion and everyone that ate there with me loved the ce." Veronicaughed, "Plus, everyone that visits the ce can''t stopplimenting the ce, and because of that this restaurant is already one of the most famous in the city. I think their poprity only loses to the two Aether Star restaurants."


    Anne was taken by surprise once again when she heard that. As an Aether Inspector, she had to know the gastronomic scene in every city that she visited, and thest time she checked this restaurant didn''t even exist and now they werepeting in poprity with Aether Star restaurants!


    Anne''s curiosity was triggered at that moment, so she couldn''t help but say with shining eyes, "Hey, Vero-chan, what about I apany you tonight in this new restaurant?"


    Veronica couldn''t help but let out a bright smile when she heard that, "Just like I imagined, you wouldn''t be able to hold off your curiosity. Of course! We can together!"


    "Wait a minute, did you just manipte me?" Anne asked.


    "I did, and you fell so easily!" Veronica said as she let out an evilugh.


    "Oh, I''ll take my revenge!" Anne eximed as she attacked Veronica and tickled until she asked for a truce.


    In such a way, the two sisters enjoyed their day together until the time to leave for the restaurant neared.


    Anne took a shower and dressed in one of her sister''s clothes and waited for Veronica to get ready as well.


    As she waited for her sister, Anne checked on her Aether Portal exclusive for inspectors.


    "Just like I imagined, The Spark Restaurant applied for inspection 3 months ago. With the way the magazine schedules things, the first inspection will only happen in 5 to 6 months." Anne muttered softly.


    ''Why don''t I perform the first inspection? I''ll be dining there anyways.'' Anne thought to herself.


    After deciding on what to do, she soon submitted to the inspection system that she would perform the first inspection of this restaurant.


    Just like that, because of Anne''s spur-of-a-moment decision, Theo''s restaurant would receive its first Aether Inspector, and Theo wouldn''t even be there to take care of things.


    But even if Theo knew about it, he would still trust Ayia to perform in his ce without any hesitation.


    One of the things that made him decide was that he hadplete trust in Ayia and her level of skill. Plus, he didn''t care much whether his restaurant received stars or not. The only thing that he wanted was to have fun cooking just like he had every night that he worked at the


    restaurant.


    But that was all hypothetical as no one would ever imagine that a pair of sisters dining together would be an undercover Aether Inspector.


    That''s why when the two of them arrived at the restaurant, the two of them were treated just like any other client was treated. And every client was received warmly and politely, so the two sisters only had good things to say about that.


    When Anne entered the main hall of the restaurant, she was dumbfounded by its beauty just like any other client that saw the ce for the first time.


    "Beautiful, isn''t it?" Veronica giggled.


    Anne nodded silently as she admired the ce as she followed the waiter to their table.


    In her many years working as an inspector, she couldn''t remember a restaurant as beautiful as


    this one.


    The two of them soon arrived at their table and got seated.


    The waiter gave them the menu, and they looked at it with excited eyes.


    Anne saw some dishes that she never had heard of before, the options looked somewhat new to her. Anne could call herself knowledgeable about gastronomy after working in the industry for over 15 years, but even with all her experience she still wasn''t able to discern some of the


    dishes.


    "Nee-chan! You have to get the Lasagna! This is a dish that the head chef created, and I can for sure it''s one of the best things I ever ate in my life." Veronica suggested when she saw that her sister didn''t know what to order.


    Anne became curious as she heard was a new dish created by the chef, so after checking with the waiter, she soon ordered what she wanted.


    The waiter said that the food would arrive shortly and left the two of them alone.


    "I have to admit that this ce is amazing so far." Anne admitted with shining eyes.


    Her observing eyes perused throughout the ce, but she wasn''t able to spot any wrong


    practices.


    She was only able to spot satisfied clients enjoying their food.


    In such a way, the two siblings enjoyed their night at The Spark Restaurant. And with every dish that Anne tasted, she saw how much of a genius the chef was.


    That was how an Aether Inspector became starstruck and impressed by the food served in The


    Spark Restaurant.


    Would the restaurant be able to receive its first star when Aether Magazine divulged the list in


    6 months?
