Bab 32: Chapter 32: Tacit Cooperation
"You are worthy of being called Lord Xianglai." Rita watched the chiffon cakes being taken out of the oven one by one.
She couldn't help but praise: "Both the production and baking processes are perfect."
Rita picked up a teapot and then the tea bag and started to brew black tea.
"What's the use of calling me Lord? Miss Rita, just call me by my name." he was not used to being addressed so respectfully by someone. he could only shake his head helplessly.
Looking at this outstanding maid in front of him, he heard that she was the maid of the archbishop of the multinational organization, Schicksal, which spans various industries.
he sighed in his heart, she is indeed a professionally trained person. Even though she is wearing casual clothes, her every move is full of elegance.
It's just that he's not used to being served by others, so he can only smile and curse himself in his heart
This is a maid lady who is both beautiful and astringent, which is something he can never wish for...
"I'm sorry, I only have the most ordinary black tea here, not any good tea." Xianglai who had been watching Rita making tea could only say with a little regret.
"It's okay, Lord Xianglai, oh no, Mr. Xianglai." Rita covered her mouth gently and poured out two cups of brewed black tea.
"I've told you to just call me by my name, no need for honorifics." Xianglai scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
But looking at the maid beside him, who was covering her mouth and giggling, he suddenly realized that he was being teased.
"Please have some black tea..." Rita gently pushed one of the cups in front of Xianglai, and tenderness subconsciously revealed in her eyes.
"Oh, and there's also this one for Lady Durandal." Rita was stunned for about five or six seconds before she reacted and handed another cup of black tea to Durandal.
This action successfully brought Durandal, who was tasting dessert, back to her senses: "Rita?"
Even the thick-skinned of the Kaslana family she still noticed that something was a little wrong with her deputy captain.
But Durandal couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
She slowly put down the knife and fork in her hand and looked at the cup of black tea in front of her. The clear tea reflected her puzzled face.
Looking up at the red-haired Xianglai who was taking a sip of black tea at the same time, she couldn't help but think in her heart: 'This man? Ever since I first met him, I have felt a very familiar feeling.'
'Where does this feeling come from?' Durandal trusts her intuition very much, or rather, as a warrior, Kaslana's intuition is unexpectedly accurate.
This intuition also allowed Durandal to escape death and danger on the battlefield several times.
However, now was the first time that Durandal herself doubted the accuracy of her intuition...
Because in the past few days, she had tried hard to recall her memories from childhood to adulthood, but she couldn't find any red-haired person who matched him.
So where does this sense of familiarity and irresistible closeness come from?
Seeing the busy figure again, the originally sweet cake and delicious black tea no longer tasted so good.
She poked the cake in front of her with a fork in annoyance.
'Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!' Every time she thought of this, she felt a slight headache and even wondered for a moment if her old injury had relapsed, or if she had become mentally ill like her sister because of jumping off the bridge.
"No matter how many times I see it, I always feel that your dessert-making skills are comparable to those of the masters." Rita took the cake that was always passed to her from behind, without looking back, and placed it in the display cabinet smoothly.
At the same time, the other hand passed the whipped cream that had been put into the piping bag to Xianglai's other hand almost simultaneously.
"Nothing." Xianglai took the piping bag without turning his head and squeezed cream into the baked puffs in front of him.
Due to the size of the workbench, a batch of puffs was soon filled with cream.
With a gentle push to the side, an elegant and slender hand took the already filled puffs, took out the prepared puff box, and started packing...
Durandal watched the smooth cooperation in front of her silently. The small piece of chiffon cake in front of her was almost broken by her.
"Rita, Xianglai you wouldn't mind me asking a question, right?" Durandal's smile was a little forced. "How did you two manage to work together so smoothly?"
Hearing this question, both Rita and Xianglai stopped and were stunned.
Yes, during the process of helping out during these few days, the moment the two of them entered the kitchen together, they were like two perfectly matched gears, working together so naturally.
It's so natural that everyone can't ignore the two of them. Why can they cooperate so well?
It's like they lived together for a long time.
When he looks at Rita, he feels like they have known each other for a long time. they even know what the other person is going to do next and what are the unconscious little movements of their bodies.
they are aware of them and can respond accordingly.
At this moment, Rita's heart began to beat violently, and she didn't know why it was beating so violently.
"Hehe..." In order to break the stiff atmosphere, Durandal smiled stiffly without any emotion, "Is it because you dessert masters all have a subconscious understanding?"
"Huh..." Rita took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She once again devoted herself to making desserts. "Maybe. After all, it's not easy to meet a dessert master like Xianglai..."
However, judging from Rita's movements, which were far less smooth than before, it indicated that her heart had not calmed down.
Even Durandal could see that there were several very obvious mistakes, which actually appeared in Rita's hands.
Xianglai scratched his head and said, "Indeed, Ms. Rita is the person with the highest level of dessert skills that I have ever met, except for my teacher..."
On the other hand, Rita had been working there in silence since Durandal pointed out this problem.
Some things are only seen clearly by the bystanders, while those involved are confused.
It would have been fine if it hadn't been pointed out at the time, but once it was pointed out like this.
It made Rita feel uneasy. Perhaps, at this moment, no one could know what Rita was thinking.
Only she herself could understand the complicated emotions in her heart...
