Chapter 1450
The man met the curious eyes of the crowd as he approached the table where Stella was seated. Once in front of her, he extended his hand and introduced himself, “Good evening, miss. I am the head chef for tonight, Nathan Turner.
I am honored to have prepared this feast for you and your family and friends. I hope the food met your expectations.”
Stella promptly stood and shook hands with the seasoned chef. “It’s nice to meet you, Nathan. The dishes were absolutely splendid. Thank you for your hard work.”
The chef beamed. “It’s my privilege.”
With a graceful motion of his hand, his apprentices promptly served the dishes from the cart.
Nathan elaborated, “This is the special dish I’ve crafted for you. It’s called Bitter Moments to Sweet Delight. I hope your journey ahead mirrors this dish-sweetness will follow after a touch of bitterness.”
“I can’t believe it’s Nathan Turner! The heir to the Turner family’s culinary legacy, winner of the national Master Chef competition five times in a row! And they managed to invite him to cook!”
“What? Who?”
“You know, the chef mentioned in the news… The owner of that restaurant where the president hosted a leader from another country to sample his creations. Nathan Turner personally prepared the meal. It is said that after the leader returned to his country, he couldn’t stop raving about the food. Later on, he even sent a representative to invite him to cook in their country.”
“So that’s why the dishes at tonight’s banquet are so extraordinary. It turns out they specifically invited this chef.”
“Allow me to correct you. Nathan Turner is not just any chef. He’s the five-time national Master Chef champion and the culinary expert admired by presidents.”
“The fact that the Sauns requested both Lancelot and the Master Chef champion to attend this event shows that they hold Stella in high regard. The money spent on inviting Nathan alone could’ve covered a three-day stay at the Emperor Suite.”
Olivia could not help but massage her temples as she listened to the conversations. She knew that her late-night efforts and early-morning calls had not been in vain.
The venue for the ceremony was set, and she could not alter it. She had to put in extra effort elsewhere to enhance the event’s prestige, like securing Lancelot and Nathan to make up for it.
