Chapter 049 She Was a Top Chef? Hearing her say “our”, Matthew’s heart skipped a beat, but he was not confused.
“This matter is too big. You have to allow me to go back and discuss it with my father.”
“Of course.” Hailey nodded. Matthew looked up at her. “For such a big project, is it too risky to rely on our
two families? The investment in the early stage is not small.” “Well, I took into account the strength of the Holland family, so I pulled you into a stake. If you think it is risky, we can find another partner.” Hailey was very
easy-going. Matthew’s eyes lit up. “So can Owen…”
“Except for Owen.” Hailey knew what he wanted to say, so she dismissed the
candidates in his heart.
Matthew said, “Why? In business, regardless of the geographical location or
economic strength, Mazedew Group is the best choice for us. It just so happens that Owen also has this intention, isn’t it just right?” Hailey lowered his eyes and said indifferently, “I don’t want to cooperate with him.”
“This is a bit unfair.”
Matthew seized the opportunity to “educate” her. “Owen is not someone who doesn’t know how to differentiate between work and personal life, and I think the same goes to you. If the three of us can work together, it’s going to get
big!”
Hailey frowned. Just as she was about to speak, Matthew said, “You just
returned to Crystaldale to preside over the overall situation. It is time for you to establish your prestige. As far as I know, your two uncles originally planned to build a golf course in the northern Suburbs. If they come back and know that you took the initiative to build a horse track behind their backs, they will definitely unite the board of directors to question you. At that time, Owen and I can also support you, right?” “Do you think I will be afraid of them?” Hailey snorted disdainfully. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Matthew said, “Of course you are not afraid, but with the Moore family involved, when the time comes, you will have more power to face them, right? Moreover, you can compare who is more handsome when I work with Owen.” He started joking again after being decent for a while. Hailey glared at him and said, “Do you think I want to compare?” Besides, she had seen all of Owen.
“Don’t worry, Owen and I can take 30 percent. The boss is still you. When you
are the boss, he has to listen to you. It will feel good, right? Just make him do all the dirty work.”
“Are you really close brothers?” Hailey looked speechlessly at Matthew, who had a wicked smile on his face.
“We are.” Matthew said seriously, “Well, that’s what friends are for. Also, us men are always preaching ‘hoes over bros’.” Hailey nodded. She agreed with this particular point. The dishes were served one after another. There were risotto, raviolli, pasta and even the classic aglio olio. The plating of all of these food proved that the chef was a capable one. Matthew was also a foodie. He was full of praise for every dish, just like a
gourmet. Hailey was hungry. She concentrated on the food and listened to his endless
evaluation while she just ate silently. “No, why does it taste so familiar?” Matthew pursed his lips and suddenly remembered what Hailey said when she came in. He couldn’t help but ask, “What is the surname of the chef who
cooks?” “Clayton.” Hailey said lightly. “Claton?” Matthew’s eyes widened. “It can’t be the chef of the national banquet, the descendant of the fourth generation of the Clayton family, Chef Gail Clayton, right?” “Mr. Holland’s taste buds are indeed picky. You can even recognize that I made these dishes.”
Gail arrived in time and personally came in with a plate of dishes in his chef’s
white uniform. He bowed to Hailey and said respectfully, “I heard that you came. I came to say hello.” – “There’s no need to be so polite.” Hailey said lightly, “How many times have !
told you? You don’t have to be like this when you see me.” “Well, I should be respectful when it’s due. You’re my master after all.” Gail was all smiles. There was a noise. The fork in Matthew’s hand fell to the ground, and his jaw dropped. He looked at Gail, who was over forty years old, in disbelief. “What did you say? She’s your master?”
“Yes.” Gail put the dish on the table and said very seriously, “My grandfather’s
last disciple, and my father’s junior sister, so she is my master indeed.”
“Good boy.” A loving smile appeared on Hailey’s face.
Matther was speechless.
Matthew was once again in a state of shock.
What was this? After finally closing his jaw, Matthew still felt that these two people were joking with him. He looked at Gail and said, “Chef Clayton, I thought your family hands it generation to generation, and does not allow the females to take over?”
“Yes, but there are always exceptions to everything.” Gail looked at Hailey with a face full of worship and said, “She is the only
exception. Back then, my grandfather thought that my father and the others were useless. He once asked her to be the thirteenth generation successor of the Clayton family. In the end, she rejected and forced my father to take the position. Later on, she personally adjusted the position. Only by teaching me can I cultivate a superb cooking skill. It’s just that my talent is not as high as that of her. I only managed to cultivate my cooking skills at this age, so I’m far from Hailey.”
Hailey said lightly, “It is true that great talents are late to success. You don’t have to belittle yourself. To be able to achieve your current achievements, you can be considered to have brought glory to your ancestors. I have not failed to live up to what my master entrusted to me before he died.”
Gail bowed to Hailey. “I have to thank you for your cultivation. Without you, I would not be the me I am today.”
“Alright, alright.” Hailey said, “I haven’t seen you in a long time. Every time I see you, you are so polite. I will give this shop to you and you can manage it well. I am relieved.” “Yes.” Gail answered respectfully. Matthew was once again speechless. Matthew looked at the national banquet chef who was obedient like a primary
school student, and then looked at Hailey who was sitting there. She was obviously young and beautiful, but she was mature when it came to handling things. Matthew then felt a weird feeling. He took out his phone and typed, asking Owen, “Have you eaten the dishes
Hailey made?”
Three minutes later, Owen replied, “She made them. But I didn’t eat them. Why?”
Matthew, “She is Chef Clayton’s master! You don’t even eat the dishes cooked
by the successor of the Clayton family! What do you want?” Owen was confused. He replied Matthew, “Did you take the wrong medicine?” The corners of Matthew’s mouth twitched, and he silently cursed his friend who had a wife but did not cherish her. Owen was the one who took the wrong medicine! He was now thinking that if one day Owen found out that his ex-wife, who he
had neglected and disliked for three years, was not only a hacker big boss, but also a top chef, would his jaw drop like him?
Then, would he regret to his core? Tsk, tsk tsk, Matthew suddenly hoped for that day to come.
