Chubby Lady - Chapter 15
Chapter 15
It was because Elena had heard that Lloyd was getting married soon. That meant that Wood was getting married soon as well.
3. A Torn Heart
Elena, who was obsessively immersed in cooking, received a letter asking for a big request one day. The fact that the letter had arrived after a long time to Elena, who had no family or friends, was thrilling itself.
“I’ll pay you as much money as you want. Please make me the most beautiful wedding cake for my wedding in two months. A cake as gorgeous as my dress.”
The client looked like a noble lady of high rank. It was a bold and elegant handwriting.
Even the luxurious papers and envelopes were revealing the status and wealth of the client. The name of the client was not written, but there was no reason to reject the request from Elena’s point of view. Money is money, but since it was a difficult request, it seemed that if I focused only on work, I would naturally be able to stop thinking about Wood. I had made a lot of normal-sized cakes, but I couldn’t dare to make a gorgeous five-tiered wedding cake by myself. So, Elena was busy visiting the bakeries in town, asking for advice, and looking for cookbooks in the imperial library. She spent several days sketching out the design of the wedding cake and running around looking for ingredients.
Elena also stopped by Bacchus after a long time. It was to say hello to the senior chefs she had been working with for the first time in a while, and to learn from them how to make a good wedding cake.
“Your face looks better than when you were working with us, Elena, your complexion is brighter, and your eyes are clearer… Isn’t it because you don’t have to look at the chef? The chef is also really good.”
“Do you remember? I tried to make Elena cook once and she did a good job, so I threw away Elena’s cooking while arguing for no reason.”
“I was jealous. A young kid with little experience had talent. After that, I only made her do chores and simple food. Isn’t this comfortable?”
“Of course it is. The chef is on vacation today, so stay up late and relax.”
“That, it’s not like that. I guess it’s because the Count took good care of me. He is always kind to the people he works with.”
The senior cooks looked at Elena in wonder as she had grown whiter than when she worked at Bacchus. It was also because she was more comfortable in body and mind than when she was the youngest chef in Bacchus, but lately, Elena’s face had turned pink. He had been helping Bacchus in the kitchen for the first time in a while, and he was talking with the senior cooks.
The noise of customers coming down the stairs was heard. It meant the dinner service would start soon, and it was time for Elena to return to Count Simon’s mansion.
The moment I said goodbye and was about to leave Bacchus, I heard a very familiar voice vividly. The main character of the voice was Royce. Elena’s heart beat louder and louder as her signature bright, cheerful laughter drew closer. Lloyd, who had a close and long-standing relationship with Wood, was at a loss when she saw the burn marks on the back of her hand. I never wanted to run into her. Elena hid herself in the corner of Bacchus’ kitchen. The moment Lloyd and her party were distracted by cooking, she sneaked behind Bacchus without being noticed to get out.
“Mrs Royce. I didn’t expect you to like this place. I thought you were only looking for pretty and cute tea houses and restaurants.”
“Oh, how delicious the food looks here. It is a proven place that even knights belonging to the imperial family often visit. Karin-sama and Julia-sama will like it too.”
A smile bloomed on Lloyd’s face as she persuaded the two noble ladies who seemed to be confused by Bacchus’ rugged interior. Her signature bright and playful laughter reached the kitchen where Elena was hiding.
“You look better today. What’s good?”
“Then is the rumor true?”
