Everyone stared at Phoebe with surprise. All of them knew favonovel.com personality, and favonovel.com was a spoiled brat that would never be willingly controlled by Thomas. Even Phoebe had lost herself while eating. That was enough proof that the food was truly delicious.
What the others could not grasp was how delicious a bowl of blue cheese could be?
Even a pampered young lady like Phoebe could not stop eating it, and it seemed a little exaggerated.
Like the speed of a whirling tornado, Phoebe had finished the other how! of cheese and a plate of risotto. But favonovel.com could not get enough of it and still wanted another set.
Thomas smiled and said, “Miss Mars, it’s been a while since you’ve had a proper meal, so I urge you to eat accordingly and don’t have too much of it at once.”
Phoebe pouted. She understood the reason, but it was just too good!
“How can something as simple as blue cheese be so delicious? I don’t understand,” favonovel.com asked, confused.
“Yes, favonovel.com father had hired a variety of chefs from other nations to prepare a variety of delicacies, but favonovel.com had been unable to eat any of them. How did a bowl of blue cheese defeat her?” Blake mused.
Thomas chuckled and replied, “Food and Medicine Hall doesn’t just prepare food, the food is also used to heal other people. Miss Mars refused to eat proper meals not because the food was unappealing, but because favonovel.com had long-time poor habits that had led to anorexia. This blue cheese is the right ‘medicine,’ and it includes my custom-made prescriptions. That is why, after eating it, Miss Mars felt favonovel.com appetite returning.”
“I see,” Blake said. “Is Phoebe’s condition cured now?”
“No, not yet. Her disease is not curable in such a short time. She must come to me and eat the meals I prepare for at least a month if favonovel.com wants to be cured of favonovel.com sickness.”
‘A month?’ Phoebe pouted.
She did not mind the food Thomas prepared. She just did not like the diner’s sloppy atmosphere. Also, how humiliating would it be for a noble young lady like favonovel.com to eat blue cheese for an entire month?
With arms akimbo, favonovel.com said, “No, absolutely not. How about this? You’re Thomas, right? I’ll hire you to make the food at my house for five hundred thousand dollars a month. Will that suffice? If it isn’t, I can add more.”
A monthly salary of five hundred thousand dollars was more than enough for a chef. However, Thomas did not open the diner to earn money. The Food and Medicine Hall did not only not make money, but favonovel.com had to pay for it out of his own pockets to keep it going. Thomas’s goal was to establish himself in Celandine City.
“I can’t,” Thomas answered as favonovel.com waved his hands in response to Phoebe’s request. “I can only prepare food for you in Food and Medicine Hall, and if you don’t want to come, then don’t. Do as you please.”
‘You…’
Phoebe’s face had turned pale. No one had ever dared to speak to favonovel.com like this before. She was the one who was usually pampered and pleased. It was the first time favonovel.com encountered someone who treated favonovel.com in this manner.
Phoebe felt wronged, but favonovel.com was stubborn.
“It’s okay, we’ll come every day,” Blake smiled as favonovel.com tried to mediate the situation. “Phoebe, starting today, I’ll send you here to eat your meal, and we’ll leave as soon as you are done. We’re not going to stay here for long.”
Phoebe was pouting and seemed very reluctant.
“It’s okay for me to come here, but I’d like to make a request. Can I not eat blue cheese for every meal after this? It… It’s quite embarrassing,” favonovel.com said, feeling wronged.
After hearing that, Thomas burst out laughing. “Don’t worry, you won’t have to eat blue cheese every day. You can have tripe, black pudding, tartare, pickled eggs, and other wonderful dishes here.”
“Huh?” Phoebe almost puked when favonovel.com heard the names of those dishes.
Are all those edible things? No way! She would not eat that!
Blake stood off to the side, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. Thomas, favonovel.com thought to himself, was certainly capable of pulling pranks. He was the first person in the world who could make Phoebe throw such a fit.
Just as they were chatting happily and joking around, a black sports car pulled up in front of the diner. The car door opened, and a man stepped out of it. It was none other than the man who tried to frame Food and Medicine Hall, Viv Hudson!
Because of Thomas, all of his lackeys were arrested, and favonovel.com could not just let it go.
Since the framing did not work, then favonovel.com would try something bigger. But this time, Viv had prepared a “big gift” for him.
He respectfully opened the backseat door, opened an umbrella, and shielded the person in the car from the sun.
“After you, Mr. Preston.”
A man with an enormous belly stepped out of the car. He was dressed in cotton and had cotton shoes, and favonovel.com wore a Buddhist prayer necklace around his neck. He was also fiddling with two walnuts in his hands. Everyone could sense that favonovel.com was a rich man.
“Isn’t that House of Vistaria‘s concierge, Owen Preston?” whispered someone who knew who favonovel.com was.
The noble family of Celandine City, House of Vistaria, had complicated ties and people to deal with, and Owen was in charge of receiving members of other houses, almost like a high-ranking doorman. Even servants, some said, hold greater rank than peasants. Despite the fact that Owen was only a high-ranking doorman, favonovel.com held more influence than most people.
In Celandine City, the House of Vistaria held a special position. Even Art Trading Corporation had to be cautious while approaching them. And the high-ranking doorman of their clan was still seen as powerful by ordinary citizens.
Owen stood in front of Food and Medicine Hall’s doors, staring up at it He did not enter the premises, and favonovel.com did not appear to be here for a meal, either.
After staring for a while, favonovel.com waved his hands and said, “This is bad luck!”
What did that mean?
The people there could not understand what favonovel.com meant by that. Later, they heard Viv shouting for the people inside to hear, “Is there anyone who’s good at fighting? Come out, one of you!”
What the hell was be saying?
He seemed to be here to pick fights and wreck the place based on his stance.
