The Beautiful Doctor Mr. Depression
Chapter 68 - Equally Busy

...༻✿༺...

Bella gives Ben the idea to hide his identity behind a name. Just like Bella did under the name Red Rose.

The Black Chef, that's Ben's preferred pseudonym. In addition to making changes to his own name, he also changed the name of the restaurant to Restlife.

It didn't take long, the people who were interested in becoming Ben's kitchen team began to arrive. The man is now able to form the team of his dreams.

Sous Chef owned by Ben is of Korean descent. His name is Kwang Joo. The cook was held by a black man named Albert. Incidentally, both personalities are fun and quite humorous. A bit opposite to Ben, but their expertise can not be doubted.

In order to get a conducive work environment, Ben kept the fact that he had a double personality disease a secret. He also required everyone to call him Chef.

After the crew was ready, the restaurant opened. The members of The Dark Place are tasked with spreading promotion to the surrounding community. They distributed a lot of leaflets.

Brian himself is in charge of helping to promote on the internet. In an instant information about the opening of Restlife restaurant has been spread. Brian even managed to invite a blogger who dabbled in the culinary field.

The delicacy of Ben's own food, is indisputable. Day by day, Restlife restaurants are increasingly visited by many customers. Ben and Bella rarely meet due to their respective activities.

Now Bella has just completed the process of therapy with patients. He checks his phone and finds no messages or calls from Ben. The girl could only sigh violently. For the last few days, he's always been the first one to call Ben.

'Are all men like that? They always attach great importance to his work.' Bella's inner self with a sad face. He was afraid Ben would end up like Justin. Bella goes to Ben's restaurant. Intended to meet the man after barely a week without seeing him.

Arriving at the restaurant, Bella was stunned as she watched Ben's restaurant filled with many customers. He now understands that Ben is really busy. But is he almost forgotten?

Bella walked into the kitchen. The situation there is more complicated than outside. Bella even rounded her eyes, when she saw the fire and the sound of a knife beating. His eyes immediately looked at the main chef. Ben is seen occasionally wiping the sweat with a small towel wrapped around the neck.

"Ben!" call Bella.

"Hey! What's up?" ask Ben. His hand kept moving stirring the food that was in the frying pan.

"When are you gonna finish?" Bella stands on the sidelines for fear that her presence is interfering with Ben's kitchen team.

"Once, maybe in a minute. You can wait in my room. I'll see you soon, okay?" Ben really misses Bella. When he saw the girl coming, he just remembered that he was too busy with work. Bella complies. He's waiting on the second floor balcony.

Time keeps passing. The word 'quickly' from Ben seems like a mere myth. The man did not come. The day has even been pitch black. Bella remained faithful in waiting.

Ben, who is still in the kitchen, forgets his promise. Until it doesn't feel like the night is getting late.

When all the customers had left, Ben remembered Bella. He rushed to the second floor. Unfortunately, Ben doesn't find Bella anywhere. Most likely her boyfriend has returned home. Guilt automatically envelops.

"Bella?" Ben wiggling. I hope Bella is still there for him. But the girl really is gone.

"You okay?" Jimmy came out the door. His face looks lethargic. Just like Ben. Although only serving as a cashier, Jimmy also felt tired.

"Did you see Bella coming home?" ask Ben. Seemed restless.

"Yes, he's been home a long time? Is Bella not saying goodbye to you?" Jimmy frowned.

"Rest me. You can see him tomorrow." Jimmy gave me advice. He's worried Ben's gonna get tired. It could affect his psychology again.

"No! I don't want to delay." Ben is stubborn. Keep Jimmy's hand away with one blow. Then go use the car to meet Bella.

In the middle of the night, Ben rang Bella's doorbell. He did not give up even though Bella ignored him for more than half an hour. The girl also ignores the phone and messages from Ben. It was clear that he was sulking.

As a result of not taking it anymore, Bella raised the call Ben. He told Ben to stop hitting the bell. Not a minute later, Bella finally opened the door.

"Come in!" bella's Order. He and Ben sat on the couch. Bella was trying to get away from Ben. But the man did not accept it, and moved to sit next to Bella.

"I'm sorry, I completely forgot.." said Ben. Trying to persuade Bella.

"Forgotten because you were busy with your work? Honestly, your attitude reminds me of Justin!" bella said with a pouting face.

"You're comparing me to Justin?!" Ben flabbergasted.

"Yes! Are you angry now?! I'm just telling the truth. For a week you almost forgot me. I was always the first to call and search. If so, we'd better split up. You should probably focus on your efforts." Bella spoke without looking at Ben.

"Come, Bella. Don't so. I'm just surprised at my job right now. It wasn't as easy as I thought, '" Ben said. Lowered his tone of voice. Deliberately relented.

"I'm sorry, but I just don't want it all to happen again. If you want to focus on work, you better put that first. We're just friends." Bella felt her decision was the best. He doesn't want to disrupt Ben's business, which is on the verge of success.

"Bella! Listen first, I-I"

"You better get some rest. Your face looks pale. Sleep here if you are not able to drive. I'm tired too." Bella accidentally cut Ben's words. Then go into the room.

Now Ben grunts violently. Trying to think about what Bella said. Even so, he slowly fell asleep on the sofa.

A beautiful morning greeted. When Ben woke up, Bella was gone. She was sure, Bella must have been really angry. Ben is forced to return to the apartment and get ready to work again.

It happened to be raining. Restaurant customers were not as numerous as usual. Ben is now sitting back with Jimmy. Let the sous chef take over.

A blond man suddenly approached. He asks Ben and his friends to do something.

"I'm going to propose to my girlfriend tonight. I hope you can help. Do you guys have that kind of special event service?" ask the blonde guy. His name is Joe.

"Emmm... Chefs?" Jimmy looked at Ben. Because the restaurant is still relatively new to be a special service such as a proposal or birthday event, it has not been fully held.

Instead of answering, Ben was confused. Something was going through his mind. Ben has been quiet ever since. Thinking of ways to fix his relationship with Bella. After thinking for a long time and hearing Joe's words, he finally got something.

"Ben!" Jimmy this time touched Ben's shoulder.

"No! We have not provided such service. Look in another restaurant!" Ben reflex answered. Then hurry up. He wants to see Bella as soon as possible.
