Chapter 1067
Elaine left the Barret family and went back to the hotel where Seren was staying, and the two met in the cafe downstairs.
Seren put down the dessert he had just ordered after taking a bite and frowned, "The mousse in this one is too sweet."
Elaine also took a bite of the soufflé in front of her: "This one is also sweet."
Salem took a sip of coffee as a way to ease the taste in his mouth as he said, "So, what did you want to talk about when you asked me out today?"
Elaine said, "I want to open a dessert store myself, but I don't know how good my craft really is, so I'd like to ask you ......"
Seren laughed, "Want me to taste it for you."
Elaine nods gently.
He leaned back in the sofa and said, "There are actually a lot of places that are holding dessert competitions that you went to before."
"I had been studying in Switzerland before, and making desserts was a hobby of mine, and I didn't think I would stick with it that long at the time. But a year ago there was a dessert competition in Switzerland and I went to participate."
Theron said, "How did it turn out?"
Elaine shook her head, "The judges said they tasted bitterness in my dessert and did not recommend that I continue."
Theron said, "What is the actual reason."
Elaine spoke with some embarrassment: "The actual ...... day I put the wrong seasoning, put lemon juice into grapefruit juice ......"
"In my opinion, you are a girl who has the potential to make desserts, but making desserts does require a lot of patience and a relatively calm mood. Sometimes, those who taste the desserts you make are able to intuitively feel your mood."
Elaine nodded: "I've adjusted, and it won't happen that way again."
Theron got up, "Then let's see what you've got."
Elaine was slightly stunned, but quickly responded that he meant to give her a chance.
She immediately followed suit and stood up, "Thank you, Miss Seren."
Salem borrowed the hotel kitchen for Elaine, giving her plenty of time and air to play.
Elaine looked at the ingredients in front of her, exhaled gently, and then began to concentrate fully and skillfully on the dessert.
Time passed, and Seren watched her quietly.
Elaine's every movement was meticulous and careful, and it was clear that she loved it.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
It is reasonable to say that the James family's young lady, what she wants to eat, is just a matter of words, eating, drinking and playing is the norm.
Rarely does she treat something that costs energy and time with such love.
While Seren was thinking a little bit, Elaine had put the plate in front of him and uncovered one of the lids: "Try it, teacher."
Seren looked at the dessert in front of him and was a little surprised that it was the same one he had exhibited at the dessert fair yesterday.
Without speaking, he picked up a spoon and took a taste.
Elaine said, "I could never taste this dessert of the teacher, exactly what ingredients were used, only some other ingredients were used instead, but the taste should be similar."
Theron put the spoon down and scooped up another bite, never saying anything.
Elaine couldn't help but get a little nervous and hold her breath, as if she were a student now waiting for her teacher to grade her paper.
Seren tasted the third bite before he put down his spoon and picked up his napkin to wipe his mouth, "It's like I'm complimenting myself, but it's been many years since I've encountered a dessert that made me take a third bite."
Elaine sniffed, finally relieved, and a smile appeared on her face.
"You were able to fully recover the taste of this dessert without knowing what ingredients I used, you are already better than me when I was younger."
"Teacher you are too much, I just made it from a gourd ......"
Seren smiled, uncovered the second lid, and looked at the dessert inside: "Is this your own creation?"
Elaine nodded: "But I ...... don't have much confidence."
Salem took a new spoon: "Little girl, you are very impressive, you will never find anyone else in this world who can fully recover my dessert after just one taste."
He still scooped up three spoons and smiled, "I originally, wanted to take you as a disciple, but now it seems that it should not be necessary."
Elaine was surprised to hear the first half of the sentence, but lost a little when she heard the second half, but didn't excuse herself: "I'm thankful to my teacher for giving me this opportunity today, and I will work harder."
Seeing that she misunderstood her meaning, Seren said, "I mean, with your current level, you are completely independent to make your favorite dessert by yourself, and there is nothing more I can teach you, but if you have the chance, we can exchange ideas with each other."
Elaine froze, then the smile on her face widened and she bowed deeply towards him, "Thank you, Mr. Salem!"
Seren got up and helped her up, "I'm on a temporary trip to City H. I'm on a tight schedule, so we'll talk when I'm next in Riverside City."
"Okay, I'll trouble the teacher today, I ......"
Halfway through the conversation, Elaine suddenly sensed that something was wrong -
Riverside City?
She didn't say that. She's from Riverside City.
Seeing the slip of the tongue, Seren coughed, "I'll leave now, see you next time."
After saying that, leave quickly.
Elaine inclined her head, probably understanding.
She turned around, picked up the packed snack box and left the hotel.
Elaine arrived downstairs only to find it was raining.
She took out her cell phone and tried to call a taxi when an umbrella was placed over her head.
Darnell's voice came, "Finished with your work?"
Elaine looked back and met his gaze, her eyes filled with a bright smile.
Darnell's lips curled down and he took her hand, "Let's go."
Back at the hotel, Elaine put the snack box she had been carrying in her hand, on the dining table, "I made this, try it."
Darnell took off his suit jacket, slung it casually over the back of his chair and sat across from her.
He had just picked up a spoon and taken a bite when Elaine asked with her hands on her cheeks, "Isn't Mr. Salem your friend?"
Darnell looked unchanged and continued to eat: "He told you that?"
Elaine shook her head: "Yesterday at the fair, Mr. Salem said that he was invited by a friend and knew that I was from Riverside City, so I think that the friend he was talking about should be you. How did you meet him?"
Darnell raised his eyebrows slightly: "There was a meeting a few years ago."
"No wonder." Elaine didn't dwell on the question, but looked at Darnell with an expectant look, "How was it, was it good?"
Darnell said, "Have you tasted it yet."
Elaine said, "Not yet eh, but Mr. Salem gave a very high evaluation, it should be good."
"Then you taste it."
Elaine was just about to reach for the spoon when Darnell reached around her neck, leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
