At the same time, the chef was also sizing Arielle up. So, this beauty with facial features as exquisite as a porcelain doll is our new boss? I heard she was able to help boost the business without even being here herself! Damn, her looks form such a huge contrast with this greasy little kitchen! She should be out there starring in films instead of running a restaurant!
“Hello, Boss! My name is Glenn Quigley,” the chef stated after snapping out of his train of thoughts.
“Hello, Chef Quigley. My name is Arielle Moore,” she replied while stepping forward to shake Glenn's hand.
Glenn instinctively held his hand out, only to realize his hand was still covered in grease
from cooking earlier.
Thinking Arielle would be disgusted by it, Glenn was about to pull his hand back when she grabbed hold of it and shook it.
“Your reputation precedes you, Chef Quigley! I have tried a lot of your dishes and I absolutely love them! It's an honor to finally meet you in person!”
Her humble and casual attitude only made Glenn feel a lot more self-conscious.
He quickly pulled his hand back and handed Arielle some paper towels. “I'm sorry, my hand is really greasy. Here, wipe up.”
Arielle simply waved at him and said, “Those who work in the kitchen aren't afraid of getting a little grease on them!”
She then shifted her gaze toward the stove. “Is that the new dish you're making?” she questioned. “The beef Stroganoff?”
I'm only halfway through preparing the ingredients, and she already knows what I'm going to make?
“You know how to cook?” Glenn asked in surprise.
“You could say that. How about I try making some beef Stroganoff and you can give it a taste?” Arielle suggested with a smile.
The look on Glenn's face tensed up instantly upon hearing that.
