Caroline was stunned when she heard the waiter’s words. “Have you changed chefs?”
The middle-aged waiter looked at her strangely. “As far as I know, there shouldn’t be any recently.”
Something flashed across Caroline’s mind. She was silent for a moment, then said nonchalantly, “Then I must have remembered wrongly.”
The middle-aged waiter wrote down the order. “Then, customer, is there anything else you want to order?”
Caroline shook her head. “Not for now. I’ll ring the bell if I need to.”
The waiter pushed the menu out of Room 1 and went to the kitchen. He placed the order on the counter and said, “Hey, Henry, it’s time to get to work.”
A few breaths later, a sound came from inside. A handsome man in his thirties, dressed in a snow-white chef’s uniform, walked out. He glanced at the menu and immediately began to prepare the dishes. Tonight, there was only one table of customers in their private restaurant. The waiter, Clayon, was quite free, so he leaned on the cooking table and watched Henry busy himself.
He chatted, “The guests at this table are a little strange today.” Just from their clothes and personal temperament, the two of them were either rich or noble. Of course, their private restaurant was not cheap, so it was normal for customers to be rich. What was abnormal was the feeling that the two of them gave him.
“Although that male guest looks quite gentle, the aura hidden inside is quite dangerous.” When he was helping the lady pull out the chair, he accidentally touched the corner of her clothes. The man shot him a glance, which was filled with a sense of threat as if his domain had been invaded.
Although that gaze was fleeting, Clayon was sure that he was not mistaken. This person looked like a modest gentleman on the outside, but he was definitely a ruthless character on the inside.
However, what concerned Clayon more was not the male customer, but the female customer. “I smell the same kind of aura on her, and it’s the aura of an expert.”
Although Caroline had deliberately concealed her actions and restrained her aura, some things had been engraved in her bones after years of training in the army. Occasionally, they would inadvertently reveal themselves.
Of course, ordinary people would not notice the small difference, but Clayon was different. His eyes never mistook prey, including people.
Henry, who was frying a steak, was also stunned. He would not doubt Clayon’s judgment.
Since Clayon said that the female customer was strong, then she was definitely not weak. Henry was a little dazed. “A powerful woman?”
Clayon suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, did the restaurant serve the dish ‘White Coral’ before?”
It had been less than a year since he came to this private restaurant, so he was not very clear about what had happened in the store. The reason why he asked Henry this question was because Caroline’s reaction was a little strange.
When Henry heard the words ‘White Coral,’ he was so shocked that he even smashed the kitchen clamp in his hand into the pot. However, Henry didn’t have the time to pick it up. He turned around and looked at Clayon with a serious expression that he had never seen before.
“What did you just say? Where did you hear these words?” Caroline didn’t know what had happened in the kitchen, but she felt that the time taken to serve the dishes was a little longer than she remembered.
She saw Edwin cut a small piece of steak into his mouth and asked him with a
smile, “How is it? It tastes good, right?”
“It’s indeed good.” Edwin was pleasantly surprised as he ate. The dishes on the table were indeed delicious, much better than the ones he often went to. It was no wonder that the restaurant owner had charged 3,000 yuan as soon as they entered. He shook his head.
“It’s a pity that such good craftsmanship is hidden in this market.”
Caroline had a proud look on her face. “With the chef’s skills, I think he won’t have to worry about finding a good restaurant if he wants to work. Since he chose to open a private restaurant in such a secret place, he must have his own considerations.”
When Edwin saw Caroline enjoying the food, he was still thinking about poaching the chef. Hearing Caroline say this, he secretly guessed that the chef was probably someone Caroline knew, so he silently dismissed the idea.
Under the candlelight, the two of them discussed the delicious food while enjoying this quiet and beautiful time. They felt that time had passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had finished the last dessert.
Edwin wiped his mouth and weighed his already full stomach. He hesitated whether he should order another dish to prolong this wonderful moment..
