Penelope hastily caught up and overheard the conversation between Susanne and Arielle.
Confused by their words, favonovel.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 favonovel.com personally.”
Hearing that, Penelope widened favonovel.com eyes in surprise. She had barely paid attention to the news online ever since favonovel.com family went bankrupt. Hence, despite hearing about Maureen’s Kitchen before, favonovel.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 favonovel.com parents for another visit after favonovel.com had earned enough money. Yet, it was totally out of favonovel.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 favonovel.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, favonovel.com picked up a small piece of fish and put it into favonovel.com mouth.
Before the flavors spread in favonovel.com mouth, favonovel.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 favonovel.com mouth.
How did favonovel.com manage to make the fish so tender? And favonovel.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 favonovel.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 favonovel.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 favonovel.com was seemingly reduced to dust, to the point favonovel.com had the urge to escape from reality. The feeling of shame that the fish had brought favonovel.com was so intense, much more than any other circumstances.
“Let’s eat first,” Vinson interrupted timely to stop Susanne from favonovel.com continuous verbal attacks against Penelope.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com had only touched Arielle’s grilled fish throughout the entire meal, almost as though favonovel.com had completely ignored Penelope’s fish.
Of course, Penelope could hardly eat anything. What made favonovel.com feel worse was when favonovel.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, favonovel.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 favonovel.com heard that.
Luckily, favonovel.com still had control over favonovel.com rationality. Even though favonovel.com had to sleep in the servants’ quarters, favonovel.com figured favonovel.com had succeeded in making herself stay at Vinson’s house, on the brighter side.
As long as favonovel.com could stay, there would be a possibility that favonovel.com could capture the heart of Vinson!
