But without the head chef's help, Cindy Clarke might not even have the chance to convince that master to take her as an apprentice.
So, Cindy has always been greatly grateful to the head chef.
In retrospect, it seems that she has always encountered benefactors along her journey.
"Regardless of my final ranking in this competition," Cindy said to Adrian Zhekova, "Even if I get eliminated from this competition, it's all right."
"I've mentally prepared myself a long time ago," said Cindy, "I planned to pursue my dream once I had settled things with Morgan."
"Now is the perfect time," Cindy said confidently.
Even without meeting Adrian, her life with Morgan is already stable.
She has sufficient income to support herself.
She doesn't have to wander around homeless like she used to.
Even if she's busy with the restaurant, she can still find the time to continue her work as a food blogger.
