Lucy blushed at Koven’s praise.
“You’re exaggerating. Cooking is simple. If you want to learn, I can teach you.”
Koven nodded eagerly. “Sure!”
He wasted no time in picking up a piece of beef.
Although the casserole dish was easy to assemble, the cooking time in the oven had to be precise and required the skills of a professional chef. It was the true test of a chef’s culinary expertise.
Koven had a mouthful of beef. It was tender and flavorful, truly delicious.
Then, Koven had a mouthful of potatoes. The chunks of potatoes were cut to the perfect size, and they were soft and extremely appetizing.
Koven exclaimed in amazement. “Wow! This casserole is better than what I’ve had in restaurants!”
He was not exaggerating. The restaurants either overcooked the beef or undercooked the potatoes, but Lucy’s version was perfectly balanced.
“Did you learn to make this dish from someone else?”
Lucy pushed the food toward him, encouraging him to eat more.
“Not exactly. I found a cooking video online and learned to make it by following along. It took a long time at first, and the first few tries didn’t come out well. It took a lot of practice to come this far, but I know you’re just flattering me by saying it’s better than what's served in restaurants. It’s not like I don’t know my limits.”
“Charlotte told me that she was grateful for the opportunity to walk the runway and have me design a dress for her, but she also warned me not to get too close to you.”
Lucy thought that it was something serious, but it turned out to be this. She was already used to Charlotte’s actions.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. I won’t take anything Charlotte says to heart.”
“Are you…”
“I just have to deal with the obstacles as they come. If she wishes to badmouth me, there’s nothing I can do to stop her. But if she dares provoke me again, I won’t be so forgiving.”
Koven felt relieved. “That’s good… I just wanted to warn you to be careful around Charlotte. I’m glad you understand.”
