Chapitre 17: Cooking Challenge

Day Two…

[ Mission Strategy Number 2: Serve Him Like A King! ]

~~*****~~

[ Sparks Villa…]

Abigail stayed in the house the whole morning, getting bored. Her main target was not around. She was grounded after what she did to Nathan. He forbade her not to approach or get near him. She was also prohibited to go to his room again.

Fortunately, Little Ethan was there so Nathan didn't scold her too much. After her breakfast with Little Ethan, the father and son duo left together– one was going to his school and the other one was going to work.

Abigail felt like she was invisible in the house. No one was talking to her except Butler Li. Everyone was ignoring her presence. They hated her, thinking that she was there to replace their Madam Monica.

The servants were very close to Monica. Their loyalty was only for her. They were also greatly affected by her passing two years ago. They still couldn't believe that the Lady of the House was gone.

But Abigail didn't care about their opinions and impressions of her. All she had to do was to get Nathan's affection. But this task was the hardest mission she had in her twenty-five years of existence.

Thinking about her misdeed against the Devil, Abigail knew that she had to make it up to him and apologize properly. She didn't mean to intrude. She had a good intention of coming into his room. It's just that no one had told her that it was the Devil's rule of not letting any stranger into his room.

"Miss Abi, are you okay?" Butler Li asked her when he noticed that Abigail was lost in her deep thoughts.

"Butler Li, do you know what your Master's favorite food is? I am planning to follow your advice, preparing some lunchboxes for both Nathan and Ethan. I wish to pacify his anger towards me through this."

Butler Li fell silent for a moment. He rubbed his chin as if he was thinking about Nathan's favorite food. One minute later, Butler Li could only smile awkwardly and said, "Apology, Miss Abi. I think you should ask Chef Min. He is always in charge of Master's food."

Abigail hastily stood up, striding towards the kitchen. She was one step away from the entrance of the kitchen when she stopped for a moment and asked Butler Li for another favor.

"Butler Li, I can't go out. Can you help me buy ingredients later?"

Butler Li nodded his head vigorously while raising his thumb. "Sure, Miss Abi. Just tell me what you need, I will buy it for you."

Abigail smiled at him, giving him a grateful look. She turned around and entered the kitchen. Chef Min and his assistants were preparing some ingredients the moment she arrived.

"Chef Min, I will prepare lunch for Nathan and Ethan. Let me do it!" Abigail said it in a commanding tone, making the Chef feel irritated. She didn't even consult or ask Chef Min's permission.

Compared to her politeness towards Butler Li, Abigail was cold and indifferent to Chef Min as she could feel the animosity he had for her. However, she had no choice but to ask this Chef about Nathan's favorite food.

"What's Nathan's favorite?" She asked Chef Min directly. "I will cook it for him."

Chef Min was already enraged by her arrogant attitude. But he tried to hide his displeasure as he already thought of a plan on how he would punish her.

The assistants could only watch the two silently in the corner. They were aware that Chef Min hated this woman. They wondered if Chef Min would really allow this woman to use his territory (the Kitchen) to serve food for their Master.

'Since you are asking for trouble, then I will give it to you. Blame your own self for this." Chef Min thought to himself, smirking evilly.

Chef Min turned to a steel cabinet, taking something inside the drawer. It looked like a recipe book. He flipped the pages and stopped on a certain menu. He put it down on the table in front of Abigail.

"This Chicken in Peanut Sauce and this Prawn Rice Noodle Salad and Curry… Try to cook this for Master Nathan. It's his favorite."

Abigail looked down, bringing her attention to the Recipe book. The menu course was unfamiliar to her but she could follow the instructions in the Recipe Book. She picked it up and plainly thanked Chef Min.

But before she left to ask Butler Li for the ingredients, Chef Min had spoken again.

"Do you think you can cook this? Master Nathan can only eat the homemade food I cook." Chef Min raised his eyebrow, belittling Abigail. He was being sarcastic towards her. But Abigail was not affected by his rude behavior. She didn't give a damn about him.

'Who cares if he doesn't like me? He is not the one I'm trying to woo here. It's his Master.'

Lifting her chin to meet his gaze, Abigail sneered at him and said, "Just watch me. I can pull it off. Don't worry, I will let you taste it. You can even watch me while preparing them." Her eyes sparkled with confidence. She was not backing down with this cooking challenge!

Her mantra for today? It's– 'the way to the man's heart is through his stomach!' She had to cook for him no matter what!

Without waiting for Chef Min to say another sentiment, Abigail left the kitchen, holding the Recipe Book in her hand. Chef Min could only watch her back, glaring at her.

"Chef Min, are you sure about this? What if something bad happens to our Master? You know that he is–" the assistant was not able to finish his words as Chef Min cut him off immediately.

"Shhhh! Just keep your mouth shut. That arrogant woman will bear the consequence of her actions. Let's just watch the good show," Chef Min mumbled, his lips curling up into a cunning smile.

Chapitre 18: Expert with Knives

Day Two…

[ Mission Strategy Number 2: Serve Him Like A King! ]

~~*****~~

Butler Li bought the ingredients for Abigail as she was avoiding to be seen in public. She watched a tutorial video first on how to cook the dish using Butler Li's mobile phone.

When Butler Li arrived, Abigail immediately proceeded to the kitchen. Chef Min and his assistants stayed there, looking at each other meaningfully. Some seemed to be anxious about something while Chef Min focused his attention on Abigail, who was preparing the ingredients.

Butler Li also noticed the odd behavior of their cooks. "Why are you still here? Will you assist Miss Abi in her cooking?"

"No. I told them that they could watch me. Chef Min is just worried that I might ruin the recipe." Abigail spoke on behalf of the bystanders who were waiting for her to fail and make a mistake.

Butler Li frowned, eyeing Chef Min suspiciously. The Chef just shrugged his shoulders, ignoring Butler Li's probing eyes.

"Butler Li, kitchen is my territory… I should be the one asking you why you are still here?" Chef Min spat back at him. He didn't like the way Butler Li was giving him a suspicious look.

Butler Li was about to retort but Abigail stopped him. There was no use arguing with a close-minded and stubborn person like Chef Min.

"Butler Li, I can manage this. You can go now and do your other task. I already took some of your time when I asked you a favor to buy the ingredients for me. I truly appreciate it."

Butler Li smiled at her and said, "It's alright, Miss Abi. You are our little master's precious guest. I have to take care of your needs, otherwise, our little young master will scold me."

"Thanks Butler Li. But I don't want to get in the way of your daily task. You can go now. I will just call you if I need anything."

With Abigail's words, Butler Li could only nod his head, following Abigail's request. This interaction between Abigail and Butler Li annoyed Chef Min further. He thought Butler Li was a traitor.

'Is he trying to help this woman to become the Lady of this household?!' Chef Min glared at Butler Li who was now walking away from the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Chef Min's dark expression didn't escape Abigail's observant eyes. She could tell that this Chef hated her. But she didn't care. She just proceeded to her cooking session.

Abigail started to slice the vegetables and meat.

*Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!*

A fast sound of the knife chopping the meat while hitting the cutting board resounded in the kitchen.

The assistant cooks were awestruck seeing Abigail chopping the meat in a quick movement with equal length. She looked like an expert in handling knives.

'Holy crap! She slices so fast! Is she a professional cook?!'

'Where did she learn that skill? Amazing hand movement! Even Chef Min couldn't chop like that!'

Their eyes were raising up and down, following the movement of her hand. Their eyes widened in amusement and disbelief!

On the other hand, Chef Min's expression turned uglier than before after watching Abigail's amazing knife performance! Who would have thought that this woman was having this special skill in cooking!

Little did they know, the woman in front of them was not an expert in cooking, but she was great at handling knives as she was a professional assassin!

Abigail's lips twitched, fighting a smile. It felt so good to see their silly expressions while admiring her skills.

After finishing the meat, she continued slicing the onions, her sharp eyes meeting Chef Min's gaze. She was like giving him a warning sign– Whoever tried to hinder her from reaching her goal, they might end up using her knife to punish him or her.

For some unknown reason, Chef Min felt a sudden chill run throughout his body. Abigail's gaze looked frightening and filled with malice.

'Did she see through my plan? Did she notice anything?' Chef Min mused to himself, wiping the beads of cold sweat that appeared on his forehead.

Chef Min shook his head, disregarding the idea. Even Butler Li didn't notice anything, how much more this naive woman? He might just be overthinking.

"So boring. You can't make the food taste delicious by just cutting the meat well. Cooking is not an exhibition!" Chef Min had the urge to lecture Abigail on how to properly cook a dish.

Abigail just raised her eyebrow. 'Bitter much? Tsk, tsk, tsk!' She decided to ignore him and just focus on her cooking.

Her arrogance and confidence made Chef Min more annoyed and bad-tempered. When he could no longer control his mood, Chef Min decided to leave the kitchen, storming out with a grim expression on his face.

'Just you wait! You will be kicked out of this house soon! I will make that happen!' Chef Min thought to himself, slamming the door so hard as he left the kitchen.

Bam!

Abigail could only flash a triumphant smile. Provoking the Chef made her feel so good. At least, she got even at him for his rudeness.

Though their Chef left, the assistant cooks remained in the kitchen. They wanted to see how Abigail would cook those three dishes. She continued flaunting her extraordinary skills in the kitchen. The only thing left was to make sure that her food was edible and delicious.

After an hour, Abigail finally finished cooking all the three dishes. "Do you want to taste them?" Abigail confidently asked the assistant cooks who were now drooling by just smelling the food.

The three assistants just exchanged glances with one another. They even glanced at the kitchen door checking whether Chef Min was there. They seemed like a mouse who's looking out for a cat.

They didn't want to upset their Chef but they were curious about the taste of the food. The food smelled so good but the real question was… Was it delicious?

To satiate their curiosity, each one of them picked up a spoon, trying the newly cooked dishes in front of them.

Abigail didn't say a word… her eyes focused on them, anticipating their feedback.

"How is it?"

The three assistant cooks just glanced at her, still munching the food inside their mouths. Not saying a word, one of them scooped another spoonful of curry and chicken in peanut sauce.

Abigail: "???"

'Don't tell me they lost their ability to speak after tasting my cooking?!'
