Chapter 402: School Activity Day
After resolving Donald’s troublesome situation, Damien Sterling and Emma Hart continued their honeymoon in Japan. They were now enjoying a sun-soaked day at the beach.
Damien Sterling’s phone rang, disrupting the peaceful moment. He removed his sunglasses, bleary-eyed, annoyed at the disturbance.
Donald?
He answered the call.
"Hey, bro, do you have some time? I’ve got some good news to share," Donald’s voice was full of excitement.
"I have time. Go ahead," Damien Sterling replied.
"Tomorrow is Friday, and our school is hosting a three-day school activity festival. It’s open to the public, and you can invite friends and family. Would you guys like to come?" Donald asked eagerly.
A school activity day? Damien had the phone on speaker, and Emma Hart’s eyes lit up with anticipation, nodding enthusiastically.
"Sure, we’ll come," Damien Sterling confirmed.
"Awesome! See you then!" Donald said excitedly.
After hanging up, Emma Hart immediately tried to pull Damien Sterling up.
"Come on! We need to get ready!" Emma Hart urged.
"Why the rush? The event is tomorrow. We don’t need to hurry," Damien Sterling said, not wanting to move just yet.
But with Emma Hart’s persistent urging, they ended up traveling back to C District that night and stayed near Donald’s school.
Early the next morning, Emma Hart woke to the lively sounds outside the school, insisting that Damien Sterling get up and get downstairs.
Opportunities to visit and enjoy activities at a foreign high school were rare and precious.
After a quick freshening up, they were about to head out for breakfast when they got a call from Donald.
Donald said his class was running a Japanese-style canteen and urged them to come and support.
Emma Hart agreed immediately.
Z High’s activity day was the best organized in the entire C District.
The school gate was lined with a red carpet and floral arches, with hostesses welcoming guests.
The area was bustling with people.
In front of the school buildings were various stalls, including charity sales, snacks, fortune-telling, and makeup booths.
Donald’s third-year Class A hosted a Japanese-style canteen in their classroom.
Emma Hart and Damien Sterling wandered around outside the school building first, grabbing a pancake to stave off hunger.
"Alright, let’s go inside before Donald calls again to hurry us up," Damien Sterling said to Emma Hart, who was engrossed in a ring toss game.
"Okay," Emma Hart reluctantly agreed. She had played nearly ten times but still hadn’t won.
Hand in hand, they entered the school building.
Each classroom had students standing outside, inviting people in, mostly running themed cafes and small eateries.
Donald’s class was at the far end of the hallway.
Emma Hart and Damien Sterling arrived to find only a few occupied tables in the classroom.
They walked in and greeted Donald, who was busy working.
Seeing Emma Hart and Damien Sterling arrive, Donald looked like he had seen his saviors.
"Oh my god, you guys finally made it. I’m about to go bankrupt here," Donald said lazily.
"Why is it so bad?" Emma Hart asked.
Donald shook his head helplessly. "Don’t even ask. Are you guys hungry? Let’s eat first."
Leading them to a seat by the window, Donald handed them two menus. "Take a look and order whatever you want. It’s on me."
"Well, in that case, I won’t hold back!" Emma Hart said mischievously, finding Donald’s generosity amusing.
Emma Hart glanced at the menu and noticed it was filled with traditional and simple Japanese dishes, which didn’t seem particularly appetizing. They ordered ramen and fried rice.
"Alright, please wait a moment," Donald said, taking the menus to the "kitchen."
They looked around. The diners were mostly elderly, and occasional coughs echoed through the room, killing their remaining appetite.
When the food arrived, they ate it as quickly as possible. Since the restaurant wasn’t busy, Donald then took them outside for a walk.
At the school’s sports field, an intense soccer match was underway, with excited girls cheering for the players.
Donald, walking along the edge of the crowd, seemed despondent.
"What should I do? If this keeps up, our class is bound to come last again," Donald said helplessly.
Damien Sterling pointed out that while the food in their class’s canteen was good, it lacked novelty.
"Novelty? I’ve got an idea," Emma Hart said. She then led them to the nearest supermarket.
"Why are we here?" Donald asked, puzzled. Were they going to buy ingredients? But their restaurant’s offerings weren’t selling; they didn’t need more supplies.
"Didn’t your brother say your food lacked novelty? I was thinking, what if we add some of our country’s cuisine to the mix? How about turning your Japanese canteen into a fusion of Japanese and other country’s food?" Emma Hart suggested.
"That’s a good idea, but who’s going to cook our food? Not you, right? Can you cook?" Donald asked, uneasy.
"Why not? I’ve been trained by several chefs and Mrs. Harris. I’m confident in my cooking skills," Emma Hart said confidently.
Emma Hart and Donald looked at each other, furrowing their brows, then turned to Damien Sterling for his opinion.
"Time is tight, but it’s worth a try," Damien Sterling said.
They quickly bought the necessary ingredients wrappers and fillings and hurried back to the school.
Emma Hart took over their kitchen, energetically starting the preparations, pulling Donald in as her helper.
Damien Sterling protested, "I refuse! This was your idea. You should handle it."
Emma Hart retorted, "But you agreed, so I take that as your willingness to help."
Saying this, she left a big white flour handprint on Damien Sterling’s face.
"Emma Hart, you—" Damien Sterling started to get angry. Spoiling her had clearly emboldened her.
"Haha!" Seeing Damien Sterling with a flour-covered face, Emma Hart couldn’t contain her excitement. "Mr. Sterling, don’t be mad. It’s all for Donald’s class’s honor," she said, looping her arms around Damien Sterling’s neck and batting her eyelashes at him playfully.
Damien Sterling suddenly flashed a devilish smile. "In that case, you should put your hands down and get to work. Otherwise..."
