When the owner almost spilled the cup of tea, Cynthia reached over to stop it in the nick of time. As a result, she was scalded by the tea.
The owner's mind was all over the place as she started blowing her hand. “I'm so sorry, Ms. Blackwood! Are you okay? I'll get someone to bring you the first-aid kit at once!”
Cynthia shook her head and showed the owner her hands, indicating that wouldn't be necessary since she was fine.
“I'm glad you're fine!” Heaving a sigh of relief, the owner announced, “If that's the case, allow me to excuse myself! I need to bring Ms. Lindberg her cup of tea!”
Cynthia nodded with a smile and brought herself away.
Once the owner showed up in the kitchen, he urged, “Ms. Lindberg, why don't you take a break and finish this cup of tea?”
“Just put it aside.” Charlotte had her eyes glued to the different types of ingredients in front of her.
“If that's the case, I'll put it here. Hurry up and finish it once you're free to take a break.”
The owner placed the cup of tea aside and urged the chefs to get the dishes for Zachary's table ready as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, shortly after Zachary wrapped up the session he had with Jamie and Ellie, he took a seat next to Robbie and asked in a hushed tone, “Robbie, have you seen that man?”
Robbie had his eyes glued to the documents in front of him. He asked, “Are you talking about Uncle Dan? We have met him.”
“Come again? Did you just address him as Uncle Dan?”
Zachary was startled when he heard his son addressing Danrique in such an intimate manner. After all, others had always known Danrique as a heartless man who would do everything for his personal gains.
Has he seriously grown fond of his nephews and niece? Is that possible when they're the successor of the Nacht family?
Robbie turned around and looked at his father in the eyes. “What's wrong, Daddy? Aren't we supposed to address him as Uncle Dan?”
