A Relentless Pursuit for Love novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Jim squeezed himself between Sage and Yoel and patiently waited for Sage’s review of his pasta.

Yoel turned slightly, and his eyes met Jim’s bottom. Where did that kid come from? Where were his manners? Sage put some pasta in her mouth and chewed slowly. Her expressions were unfazed. Jim was slightly nervous and asked in a small voice, “How was it?” 410 Sage did not comment further. Instead, she took a sip of water and asked him, “The heat control was better than the previous dish. Why was that?” She was actually giving him a test. Jim replied, “I guess I put in the salt way too early previously.” “Why didn’t you put it in earlier this time?” Jim added, “There’s ham in this dish, and I added beef broth. It would be too salty if I added salt earlier. I added some brown butter for the color.” Yoel could not help himself and interrupted, “That’s right! No wonder the dish looked a little darker than before.”

Yoel felt smart after pointing that out. He leaned back against the chair as he waited for Sage’s approval. “Sage, am I right about that?” How annoying of him. Jim took a step backward and blocked Yoel from Sage again. Yoel was speechless. Did he do it on purpose? Sage ignored Yoel and tried another bite. As she swallowed, she responded, “It tastes just right this time. There’s an improvement.” Jim smiled. “Thanks for your guidance.”

Sage grinned in return and immediately pursed her lips. “Don’t get too happy now. Did you blanch the shrimps?”

Jim nervously replied, “Yes, yes, I did.” Sage added, “Remember, you mustn’t stir the shrimps as you blanch them. It will disintegrate.

Sage’s lectures were stern and serious. Even a national banquet chef like Myles would be afraid of her, not to mention Jim.
