Yvette heard the conversation upstairs and smiled silently. She continued to make the soup with her head lowered.
After some time, the chef, Farley, came in from the outside, looked at her, and smiled.
“It smells so delicious! If the boss knows that you made this, he’ll be so happy that he’ll lick the bowl clean.”
Yvette smiled gently and guiltily as she suppressed the complex emotions in her heart.
“He was hurt because of me, so this is nothing.”
The chef nodded in agreement.
“I heard that. Although the boss used violent methods to bring you here, that’s because he can’t forget you. Ms. Quimbey, if you treat him better, he’ll protect you with his life!”
Yvette’s eyes flickered. She looked fragile and sad.
“Forget it. It’s all in the past. We’re even now. Not to mention, I can’t go back even if I want to. It’s shameful for the Sheldon family if people find out that I’ve gone through this, so they won’t want me to go back. What else can I do then?”
The chef sighed regretfully and said, “Yes, Ms. Quimbey. You’re actually a smart person. Although our business isn’t glorious, at least no one can bully you here! The boss will give you whatever you want. He just lacks a partner, and you two belong together. Isn’t that great? You know that our business isn’t allowed in Mediania, but now that we’re abroad, no one can control us. We’re free to do anything we like!”
The chef persuaded Yvette and asked her to take a seat while he cooked.
He just wanted to get closer to the boss’s woman and was not worried that she would poison the boss.
After all, Sean was aware of her every move. She was not familiar with this place, so even if she wanted to poison Sean, she could not get the poison.
Yvette looked at him meaningfully and smiled.
“Yeah, I’m just worried for him since he’s in such a dangerous business. I’m afraid that something will happen in the future. Look at Tres, he’s gone all of a sudden.”
Farley’s body stiffened. He seemed a little sad.
However, he regained his spirits and said, “Tres was too impulsive. He died too soon. He was the boss’s most trusted subordinate, so the boss will definitely feel sad.”
Yvette raised her eyebrows and remained silent for a few seconds before she spoke again.
“Where’s the woman that was with Tres? I didn’t see her around. Is she resting?”
The chef paused. He saw that the soup was ready, so he quickly served two bowls and put them on the tray.
He took a few local appetizers from the refrigerator and put them on a plate while he said regretfully, “Tate just sent her back to her hometown.”
Yvette paused. “Back to Mediania?”
The chef shook his head. “That woman is from here even though she looks just like us, and she’s been with Tres for a long time. Before Tres worked for the boss, he was framed for murder. This woman was the only one who didn’t abandon him. She hasn’t been back home for almost ten years. Since Tres is dead, we can’t keep her here. After all, she has nothing to do with our business. Tate gave her some money and sent her back to her hometown so that she can live a good life. See, we’re not as cold-blooded and ruthless as you imagined, right?”
Farley looked at her with a smile.
Yvette also nodded regretfully.
What happened to this woman was really unexpected.
That woman experienced so many intense events in the past decade. Could she still return to her village to live a mediocre life?
Yvette thought, ‘Forget it. That’s not my business.’
Someone shouted upstairs.
“Ms. Quimbey, the boss wants to see you.”
Yvette raised her head, smiled, stood up, and walked up with the tray.
Through this conversation, Yvette made one thing clear.
This chef, Farley, seemed to be the most useless personnel here, but he was the most loyal to Sean and knew a lot of things.
Yvette knew she should not underestimate Farley.
The only person she could trust was Tate.
When Yvette entered the room, everyone left one after another.
They were too noisy and talked to Sean endlessly.
