âOld Madam.â Cindy Clarke saw the Old Madam, with a surprised look on her face.
A few moments ago, when the guests in the front row gave way, she had already caught sight of them.
âCindy!â Morgan Zhekova was at the back and enthusiastically greeted Cindy Clarke.
Adrian Zhekova laughed, âWe managed to get tickets too. We came to try some.â
Just one glance from Adrian Zhekova, and Cindy Clarkeâs face felt feverish and extremely hot.
Even though it was already hot near the grill, Cindy Clarke knew this was different.
âOld Madam, which one would you like to try?â Cindy Clarke asked.
âDo you have any recommendations?â Old Madam couldnât take her eyes off of them. âI want to eat all of them.â
âThen how about the chicken thigh?â Cindy Clarke suggested with a smile, âGrilled cartilage might be too tough for you. Grilled chicken skin is high in fat and not very healthy. The green pepper wrapped with cheese, Iâm not sure if it suits your taste. If youâre curious about trying any of these, let me grill some more for you after the competition. Iâll make some more variations.â
âThe main issue is the limited competition time, so I didnât dare to make too many types,â Cindy Clarke explained.
âThen letâs go with the chicken thigh,â Old Madam said.
Cindy Clarke then gave her a skewer.
Adrian Zhekova and the others didnât skip the line. They stayed lined up behind the other customers.
Seeing the next customer, Cindy Clarke was taken aback, âYou managed to get a ticket?â
âYeah, it wasnât easy to get one.â To her surprise, it was the customer who originally came to Cindy Clarkeâs place. âIt was such a pity that when I went to exchange tickets, I asked the staff if I could buy a bottle of beer. Iâm sure they have everything prepared for this Cooking Competition, and beer shouldnât be excluded. But they just refused to sell me any. Otherwise, beer paired with skewers would be the perfect combination!â
Upon hearing this, others behind him chimed in, âExactly!â
â Cindy Clarke hesitated and couldnât help but laugh, âYouâre really resourceful.â
âSo, what would you like to try this time?â Cindy Clarke asked.
âIâd like to try the grilled chicken skin,â the man stared at the grilled chicken skin while swallowing saliva continuously.
Cindy Clarke gave him a skewer.
When everyone else had finished buying, Adrian Zhekova ended up last in line for some reason.
After Sheldon Rowland and Peggy Lewis each chose a skewer, Morgan Zhekova stood on tiptoes, âCindy, I want the grilled chicken thigh.â
âSure.â Cindy Clarke gave her a skewer, and the little girl obediently ran off to the side to eat.
âGodmother, what flavor is this?â The little girl stared at Peggy Lewisâ grilled green pepper. âIs it good?â
âItâs delicious. Cindy grilled it. How could it not be good?â Peggy Lewis said with a smile, âWould you like to try some?â
The little girlâs eyes were fixed on the grilled green pepper, and she quickly nodded.
âIf you want to eat it, just say it straight. Donât beat around the bush with your godmother!â Peggy Lewis flicked her forehead, clearly learning from Adrian Zhekova.
At this moment, Adrian Zhekova was already standing in front of Cindy Clarke.
They hadnât seen each other since their brief encounter backstage.
So, there wasnât time to be shy yet.
But now that Adrian Zhekova stood right before her eyes, Cindy Clarke couldnât help but think of what happened backstage.
âHow come everyone came up?â Cindy Clarke quietly asked.
âOld Madam insisted on coming up to try your grilled skewers. I told her she could try them privately later, but she said it wasnât the same. She insisted on coming and supporting you on the spot,â Adrian Zhekova explained with a smile.
âI didnât expect that the Old Madam would really come,â Cindy Clarke blushed. She wondered what the Old Madam had said when she saw Morgan Zhekova.
But it wasnât the right time to ask..
