Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3120

“You barely ate at noon and are probably hungry now, so I brought you some freshly baked treats. It was made by the chef who applied for the job today. We’ve all tried it and think he isn’t bad.”

Isabella turned around and walked back to her desk.

Tati followed suit.

“I’m sick of eating the same thing and didn’t have much of an appetite at noon, so I wasn’t full. I do feel hungry now.” Isabella leaned against her desk and reached for the bag Tati brought to retrieve a box. The treats were meticulously shaped into flowers, fruits, and animals.

“These are quite delicate. Were they good? You said the chef who applied today made these, right?”

Tati replied, “Yeah. He’s from out of state. He does look very young—not even in his thirties. Isa, I’m telling you, if you don’t hire him, I will. He’s as handsome as a celebrity.

“But he’s much manlier than them. Oh, he hasn’t yet let us try his specialties though. He only made these treats for us. He said he would prepare his best for you once you had time to go home for dinner.”

Simply passing the interview and being good at cooking was not enough to be hired by the O’Connors. The head of the family had to meet the applicants, try their food, and talk to them to ensure they passed the vibe check before they could even be considered for the role.

That was why superb cooking skills must pair with a good character to be hired as the O’Connors’ private chef.

Tati recalled the face of the applicant she saw today and smiled. “It’s not like we haven’t seen handsome men before, but the applicant who came today really is handsome. I’d feel full just by looking at his face.

“He’s a whole meal all by himself.”

Amused, Isabella said, “It looks like you have a crush on him and are already dreaming of marriage. If you have fallen for him at first sight, I’ll get someone to look into his character and family background. If he’s suitable, we can consider it.”

“Just look at our chefs. Every single one of them has been in this field for over a decade and still we have to change them often.”

Tati said a little sheepishly, “Isa, that’s only because we’re all picky foodies.”

“You know, now that we’re hiring again, none of the chefs from the cities nearby dare to even come for the interview. They feel that it doesn’t matter how good the pay is, it’s not worth it if they only get to work for a short time before getting fired.”

Isabella picked up the small knife and cut a treat in half. Then, she swapped to a fork and picked up one half. Before she put it in her mouth, she gave Tati a look and said, “How is it not worth it? Once they leave, all the major hotels will be fighting to hire them. Compared to before working for us, their value would have increased so many times over.”

Then, she ate the half, ready to spit it out anytime.
