Jace didn't intend to go straight to the point Immediately. He had wanted to first grab his attention and then have a private talk in his office or something. But it seemed like he wasn't believing him. And wasn't even ready for a private talk.So that pretty much left him with no alternative but to speak out to grab his attention.He turned to look at the boss walking away "I'm the son of the person who you bought this restaurant from."He said. Loud enough for The boss to hear it. And as soon as the boss heard it, he came to an abrupt stop.He paused for a while before he slowly turned and looked towards Jace's direction. A bubble of mixed emotions ran through his face as he looked at Jace.He was shocked, Surprised. And for some reason Jace could have sworn that he saw an excited expression through his face. He didn't know why but he guessed he was lucky to meet the man after all
