Teresa sighed deeply and said, “He’s super popular now, and there’s a long list of people trying to book him well into next month. I don’t think adding another 10,000 will help.
Samantha gave a bitter smile. “Still, I have to try. His cooking really is amazing
Teresa shook her head. “Don’t be so stubborn. Chef Darrien’s not the only great chef around. Caroline might be young, but her cooking’s just as good as Chef Darrien’s. She just won that cooking contest at the Traxon Hotel”
Teresa wasn’t just flattering Caroline. She truly believed Caroline’s food was delicious, maybe even better than the experienced Jean, who had been in the kitchen for years.
Caroline just needed a chance.
The Nielsens were inviting a lot of guests for the celebration, and if Caroline catered for the event, her talent would get a lot of attention.
Hearing this, Samantha looked at Caroline again, disbelief showing on her face. “I heard from my neighbor that a young chef won first place at the Traxon Hotel contest recently… That’s this girl?”
Teresa nodded. “Yep, that’s her.”
A small smile appeared in Samantha’s eyes. “If you think she’s good, then let’s hire her.”
Even if I offered more money, there’s probably an 80% chance I won’t get Chef Darrien. So why not give this new chef a
shor?
Teresa praised her, and my neighbor spoke well of her cooking. She can’t be that bad.
Their conversation was quiet enough that Caroline, sitting across from them, only caught parts of it. She didn’t say anything and kept her head down, quietly eating
“Caroline, Samantha’s family is organizing a banquet soon. Are you free to cook for them?”
Only when Teresa said this did Caroline look up.
Before Caroline could answer, Teresa added, “You’re really skilled, but not many people know it yet. This is a perfect chance to show everyone in Kingville what you can do.”
Samantha added from the side, “That’s right. It’d be a shame to hide your talent. Don’t worry. The pay’s still 25,000
She wasn’t fully convinced a young girl could cook that well, but she trusted Teresa’s opinion. She hoped the 25,000 would be money well spent.
Caroline’s eyes grew wide. Twenty–five thousand… to cook for a banquet?”
“That’s right.”
Hearing Samantha’s serious tone, Caroline couldn’t help but laugh. “Isn’t that a little over the top?”
She wouldn’t lie the big amount was tempting. But making 25,000 for just one meal seemed almost
unreal

Are rich people really that careless with money?
Teresa jumped in. “Since Samantha’s being so generous, you shouldn’t keep refusing. Just
She wanted to help Caroline get noticed and also hoped she could make some money.
say yes?
Seeing Caroline’s worn clothes, Teresa guessed money was tight. This pay could finally get Caroline some
new outfits.
After all, who wouldn’t want to look nice?
With Teresa’s encouragement, it would be rude for Caroline to say no.
Plus, Caroline planned to open her own restaurant soon. With this 25,000 and what she’d earned lately. money wouldn’t be a worry for a while.
She agreed without hesitation: “Okay, I’ll cook for the banquet. When is it?”
“In five days, next Thursday.”
After sorting the details, Samantha and Caroline exchanged numbers to make communication easier.
Since Samantha needed to get home to care for her grandson, she left first.
Only Caroline and Teresa were left at the table.
Caroline said, “Teresa, thanks for saying such nice things about me to Samantha earlier.”
Though she hadn’t caught every word, she understood the main idea.
Samantha didn’t believe in her cooking at first, but Teresa’s insistence changed her mind.
She had to admit that Teresa really cared.
Teresa waved it off. “It’s nothing. I just mentioned it in passing. In the end, it’s all on you. If you don’t have the skill, no amount of help from me will matter.
Just then, a sharp ringtone came from her bag.
Setting down her utensils, Teresa reached into her bag and pulled out her phone.
“Why is this brat calling me all of a sudden?”
