Chapter 134
134 Can’t Cook
Christian told Jason to take Ella to the company’s kitchen.
The kitchen was inside the canteen and was used by famous chefs.
Ella saw a large kitchen in front of her with wonder in her eyes. Various tools were placed in front of her, making her feel intimidated.
She felt like she wasn’t where she was supposed to be.
Jason then kindly reminded her from behind. “Miss, Mr. Christian asks that you choose to use the tools as you wish.”
Ella looked at Jason regretfully. “What should I do if I am not good at cooking?” She felt like she wanted to cry.
Her expression was so cute, it made Jason want to laugh. “Then just pick what you like.”
“I... I’ve never cooked in the kitchen,” Ella said shyly.
Although she once lived alone and rented her own house, she usually would eat out. Never once did she cook in the kitchen.
.....
She could only cook rice, boil hot water and make instant noodles!
Jason thought for a moment and gestured to one of the chefs. He whispered a few things which made the chef nod and smile politely at Ella.
“Miss, how about I teach you?” The chef politely offered.
Ella immediately accepted the offer happily. It’s better for someone to help her than destroy this kitchen.
“Let’s make something simple. How about making dessert?” The chef looked very professional, wearing full work clothes to his high chef hat. Meanwhile, Ella was like an apprentice who had just learned to cook.
Even though Ella didn’t quite understand, the chef taught her every process carefully, explaining each step patiently.
But it turned out that Ella was not very good at cooking. Ella tasted the cake she made, which had just come out of the oven and spit it out. Even though she had made it based on the recipe and directions from the chef, the taste still disgusted her.
But why did it taste like this?
Ella looked at her hand and felt that she really couldn’t make any good food.
At that moment, Ella immediately complained. Why did Christian suddenly want to taste her cooking?
Inside his office, Christian was seen looking at his computer screen, smiling to himself. He was not doing his job but instead looked at the CCTV footage in the kitchen.
He didn’t expect Ella to be so bad at cooking. It seemed that the woman had absolutely no talent for cooking.
Ella’s angry and frustrated face looked very cute.
After struggling in the kitchen for three hours, Ella finally managed to make a decent cake.
The cake that just came out of the oven didn’t look great, but the taste was tolerable. It seemed like this was the best result she could come up with.
She used fruit to decorate it and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. It didn’t matter even if this cake looked ugly, at least the fruit that adorned it could make it good.
After finishing it, Ella returned to the CEO’s room happily while carrying the cake.
“Christian, give it a try,” the cake looked really ugly, but Ella had tried so hard to make it. This was her handiwork!
Christian looked at the cake and said, “It’s too late.”
That means, Ella has been in the kitchen for so long, without succeeding in making a cake that looks attractive enough for him to eat.
Ella misunderstood Christian’s words and nodded obediently. “Right, it’s late. Then I’ll go home first.”
After saying that, Ella immediately took her bag and left.
Christian didn’t stop her. He looked at the cake in front of him and took a fork to taste the cake.
The taste of course was not good.
But at the thought that Ella had already spent three hours making it, Christian finally finished it without hesitation.
Ella was afraid that Christian didn’t like the bad food she made and ran away from Christian’s company. She kept running because she still felt insecure, but before she could go far enough, someone grabbed her hand.
“Ella...” that voice sent chills down her body.
“Haikal?” Ella turned and tried to free her hand from Haikal’s grip. But Haikal’s strength was so great that she couldn’t get rid of him no matter how many times she tried to let go of her hand.
“Let go!” There was disgust on her face as she said that.
For Ella, Haikal was nothing more than trash.
“I don’t want to let you go, Ella,” Haikal’s face showed pain and regret. “Can you come back to me? Everything that happened before was my fault. I was blind because I chose Indri over you. I know in this world you are the only one who loves me,” Haikal took a deep breath. His eyes fell on Ella’s face with longing as if he was thinking about their past together.
Indri could not help him and made him feel very angry. Previously, he preferred Indri because he knew Indri would do anything for him.
For years, he believed he could take advantage of Indri.
But it turned out that Indri was of no use to him at all.
Even a small favor was enough to get him out of trouble. But look at what Indri did. She couldn’t do anything.
Her family didn’t even lift a finger to help him.
This made Haikal hate Indri. And subconsciously, his mind returned to Ella.
If Ella was by his side, Ella would definitely do anything to help him.
“Haikal, it’s still bright. Are you delirious?” Ella looked at him angrily. “And please don’t say such things to me. You just disgust me and make me sick.”
When did Ella ever say that she still loved Haikal? She really hated him!
“Ella, I’m here waiting for you. Don’t you pity me?” Haikal continued, not intending to give up.
The current Ella was a huge temptation for him. He didn’t want to let go of Ella and he didn’t want to lose Ella again.
“You don’t want to let me go?” Ella looked at Haikal.
She could see the love in the man’s eyes and his appearance made a smile appear on Ella’s face. She took advantage of the time Haikal was off guard and lifted her leg.
“AHHH!” A loud scream made people nearby instantly turn their attention, it pierced their ears like a bullet. But the scream was very pleasing to Ella’s ears.
She turned and was about to leave, leaving Haikal in pain. But the figure of a woman who ran up to her made her curse in her heart.
Looks like her problem won’t stop here.
Another problem is waiting for her ahead.
