Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 562

The voice belonged to Roxanne, who was in charge of meals. She had a soft spot for Astrid, so when she overheard someone making a snide comment about her, she wasn't pleased.

"Roxanne, I'm just venting a little. So, what's on the menu today?" Zachary asked as he stood up, intending to grab his lunch box, only to notice that Roxanne's hands were empty.

"Hey, Roxanne, you didn't bring lunch for everyone today? You..." Zachary's words trailed off as a car approached in the distance. The unique emblem on the vehicle caught everyone's attention, leaving them slightly astonished.

After a moment, someone exclaimed, "Wow, that's The Cloud Kitchen's exclusive service vehicle. Could it possibly be delivering food for Astrid?"

"I've heard of this restaurant. Their chefs prepare meals for state banquets."

"It must be Chief Luke taking care of his wife, sending her a meal from them."

"The world of the wealthy is beyond our imagination."

"This is just over the top. There are several cars; does Astrid really need such a grand setup just to eat?"

"..."

"..."

Seeing the cars arrive, Astrid stood up and waved at the driver who had just stepped out.

Upon spotting Astrid, the driver greeted her with a smile, "Astar, the meals are delivered. Are you ready?"

"Great, thank you for your hard work," Astrid replied as a few more people hopped out of the vehicles behind.

As the truck doors opened, people began unloading tables and chairs.

Astrid turned to the crowd and announced, "Tonight, I need everyone's help to stay late, so dinner's on me."

Her words sent a ripple of excitement through the crowd.

"Wow, I heard Astar once treated the crew to a grand feast, but I thought it was just a rumor. Turns out, it's true, and this time it's even more extravagant!"

Astrid chuckled awkwardly, "That's a bit dramatic, don't you think?"

"..."

With everyone's help, the tables and chairs were soon set up.

Due to the space constraints, the tables were arranged into two long rows, resembling a grand banquet.

Looking at the delicious spread, Selena could barely keep from drooling.

What truly amazed everyone was that the dishes were still piping hot, even though the nearest branch of The Cloud Kitchen was three hours away!

Curious, Roxanne asked, "Chef, how did you keep the soup so hot? Are your thermal boxes really that good?"

The head chef smiled gently, "The Cloud Kitchen doesn’t typically offer delivery, but since the order came from Astar, we rented high-tech thermal boxes from a tech company to ensure everyone could enjoy a hot meal."
