The Divorced Heiress

Chapter 46

“Why do you like competing with me? I wanted to ask him the same question but you beat me to it,” he

said angrily.

“Are you an international and known chef? Why do you need to compete with you? Are you lacking

manners?” Ariana said as her face darkened.

“Why are you both arguing? He will be working for me. Not any of you thus you better give up since none of you can’t win against me,” Amanda said, making them stay silent as they knew that whatever she had said was true.

The old man looked at the scene and was shocked.

He knew that they were rich from how they were dressed and the shopping bags on the guy’s feet but he

didn’t expect them to be so successful.

“Is it that delicious?“Ace asked and everyone turned to look in his direction.

At this moment, it was when they all noticed that he had not taken a bite since he was given the

plate.

Although Ariana was angry at him and was currently punishing him, Ace was still her little brother whom she doted on. Now seeing that he had not taken anything, she was anxious as she wondered whether there was something wrong with him.

Not only her but the others were also worried.

“Uncle Ace, why haven’t you eaten yet? It is so delicious, or are you allergic to meat?” Angel asked

innocently, making the others forget they were worried about him also and chuckle as they found it

funny.

Confused by their sudden laugh, Arya asked, “Why are you guys laughing at him?”

“Him? Allergic to meat? He can even eat meat only and ignore the other food,” Mark said as he rolled

his eyes.

“Then why isn’t he eating?” Rose asked as she was also confused.

“Ace, are you feeling unwell?” Amanda asked out of concern and panic in her eyes.

Ale, are you reeing unwer: Annatiua asket out of contem anti panic in ner eyes.

Up to 30 e isn’t sick. You shouldn’t be worried about him. Haven’t you forgotten that he is a celebrity and we are in public? If he removes his mask to eat, I am afraid that we won’t be able to eat in peace

because of his crazy fans.”

Luke had not planned to say what was wrong but when he heard the concern in Amanda’s voice, he what Ace could do just to get Amanda to take care of him and he couldn’t let him succeed.

“Oh,” Amanda said as she felt that she had been worried about nothing.

“Why do you keep pretending? Is your mask covering your m*uth that you can’t eat while you still hav it on?” Ariana, who had been silent. asked in contempt as she couldn’t believe that she had also

fallen for the young man’s trick.

Ace was speechless making him glare at Luke as he blamed him for ruining his plans.

*Sir, what do you think?” Amanda asked as she averted her gaze from her siblings since there wasn’t

anything wrong and looked at the old man.

The old man remained silent with his head still lowered before looking at Amanda.

“Miss, you are so young. Do you really have a hotel?” he asked, making Amanda stop taking a bite.

“Huh? No, I don’t have but it is under construction. It will be ready in a few weeks,” she answered

and the old man nodded his head.

He sighed secretly as he couldn’t believe that despite the young lady being from a rich family, she

still wanted to start a business of her own and become independent. He couldn’t help but wonder

whether his daughter’s life would have been different if he had really tried getting a job. Also

whether her daughter was hard working despite her still being in school.

“Miss, since you know where my stall is, you can come and find me when your hotel is ready to open, he said.

“Of course not! Your meals are so delicious. What if another person comes after me and after having taste of your meat he would want to employ you? I really can’t take the risk since it is so big.” Amanda said, making the old man’s m*uth switch. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Chapter 46

“Miss, I am sorry but I have to continue working so as to get money to pay my daughter’s fees and buy my wife some medicine since she is sick,” he said in a low and dispirited tone.

Amanda remained silent upon noticing that the man had seen through her. She wondered what else s

could say to the old man to let him remain at home.

“Do you think that we can sign a contract tomorrow? In that way, if anyone comes to poach you, they

will be unsuccessful,” she said after some minutes of thinking of a plan.

He looked at Amanda up and down and couldn’t believe that the young girl was so precautious.

Seeing her determined look to have him working for her, he wondered whether his meat was as delicious

as they said it to be since to him it was just okay.

“Please, sir. Do not reject my offer. I promise that I won’t mistreat you at work and that I will be

paying you enough money to cater to you and your family’s needs without being worried,” Amanda added

hoping to convince me.

“Since you want me to sign the contract tomorrow will I have to come and work here as I wait for your hotel to be opened or will I still receive money even if I haven’t started working yet?” he asked as he had to be cautious since cost of the contracts always have some hidden clauses with other meaning which would make one’s life to be ruined.

Knowing what he was afraid of, Amanda smiled before saying. “You can sign the contract tomorrow an continue working here or work in my sister’s hotel so as to add some experience from other chefs. You can learn from each other. Also, here is twenty thousand, you can take it as your first salary

With this money, I believe that you won’t need to come back here and work before the hotel’s opening.”

She placed the money in his right hand after taking it out from her handbag. To her, with the old mad by her sister, she was positive that she would crash the Scotts‘ hospitality industry.

“Now what do you think?”
