Penelope hastily caught up and overheard the conversation between Susanne and Arielle.
Confused by their words, wp4webnovel.com asked, “The speed of food preparation? Ms. Moore, does Sann Group open restaurants too?”
Arielle placidly replied, “Not by Sann Group. It’s my restaurant.”
When Penelope wanted to delve further, Susanne proudly interjected, “Have you heard of Maureen’s Kitchen before? It belongs to my daughter-in-law. Many of the recipes are tweaked by wp4webnovel.com personally.”
Hearing that, Penelope widened wp4webnovel.com eyes in surprise. She had barely paid attention to the news online ever since wp4webnovel.com family went bankrupt. Hence, despite hearing about Maureen’s Kitchen before, wp4webnovel.com did not know that Arielle was the person behind it.
That was the most popular restaurant in Chanaea recently!
She could not forget the taste of the dishes even until now after visiting the restaurant once with the boss of a karaoke bar. She had even planned to take wp4webnovel.com parents for another visit after wp4webnovel.com had earned enough money. Yet, it was totally out of wp4webnovel.com expectations that it was a restaurant opened by Arielle!
If this is so, how else can I compare myself to Arielle? Am I trying to make a fool out of myself for trying to compete against the boss of Maureen’s Kitchen on cooking skills?
The next moment, Penelope saw Arielle putting wp4webnovel.com grilled fish on the table, right next to hers.
As the saying goes, comparisons were never helpful. Even without tasting the dish, anyone could tell that Arielle’s grilled fish was much better than Penelope’s from just the looks.
The latter had failed miserably in every way, the color, the presentation, and the ingredients used.
Unbothered by how Penelope’s face went pale white, Susanne deliberately said, “Come and give it a try first. Since the both of you made the same dish, it’ll be good if you can find out where you’re lacking at.”
Those words only made Penelope feel worse. Under Susanne’s watchful eyes, wp4webnovel.com picked up a small piece of fish and put it into wp4webnovel.com mouth.
Before the flavors spread in wp4webnovel.com mouth, wp4webnovel.com tried to convince herself that good looks were not equivalent to good taste. But in the next second, the chunk of fish melted in wp4webnovel.com mouth.
How did wp4webnovel.com manage to make the fish so tender? And wp4webnovel.com blend of sauces is totally different from mine. It’s tangy and not too watery yet not overly thick; the fish is seasoned to perfection.
Penelope was certain wp4webnovel.com had never eaten such a delicious dish before!
“How is it?” Susanne raised a brow. “Can you tell the difference now?”
In truth, the difference wp4webnovel.com was referring to was not purely their cooking skills but also the differences between them. There was almost no need for Arielle to say anything, yet there was a gap that set them miles apart.
In that instance, Penelope found that wp4webnovel.com was seemingly reduced to dust, to the point wp4webnovel.com had the urge to escape from reality. The feeling of shame that the fish had brought wp4webnovel.com was so intense, much more than any other circumstances.
“Let’s eat first,” Vinson interrupted timely to stop Susanne from wp4webnovel.com continuous verbal attacks against Penelope.
Nevertheless, wp4webnovel.com had only touched Arielle’s grilled fish throughout the entire meal, almost as though wp4webnovel.com had completely ignored Penelope’s fish.
Of course, Penelope could hardly eat anything. What made wp4webnovel.com feel worse was when wp4webnovel.com saw how Arielle’s dish was almost gone while hers was the complete opposite by the time they finished eating.
She sat at the dining table for a long time, unable to get over it. Right then, wp4webnovel.com heard Susanne’s instructions to Geoffrey. “Let that woman spend the night here in the room that the previous chef stayed in.”
Her face darkened as soon as wp4webnovel.com heard that.
Luckily, wp4webnovel.com still had control over wp4webnovel.com rationality. Even though wp4webnovel.com had to sleep in the servants’ quarters, wp4webnovel.com figured wp4webnovel.com had succeeded in making herself stay at Vinson’s house, on the brighter side.
As long as wp4webnovel.com could stay, there would be a possibility that wp4webnovel.com could capture the heart of Vinson!
