Glenn looked up and saw Arielle standing before the food cabinet. She was a sight to behold. Though her apron was old and stained, she acted gracefully as though she was clad in an expensive gown instead of an old apron.
Arielle might be pretty, but she didn't look like she belonged in the kitchen.
After hearing the manager's words, Glenn's expression fell.
He scoffed. “She looks like a tyrant who is putting up an act. Just wait and see. She'll soon cry after the oil pops and splatters on her! This is why I don't like female apprentices. Women can't stand hardships! A kitchen is a place full of hardships.” His tone was dripping
with disdain.
Right after he spoke, Arielle looked in their direction as though she had heard him.
She had always been gorgeous in an aggressive way. When she wasn't smiling, her clear eyes looked like they were glinting icily.
Glenn fell silent for a few seconds before swallowing hard.
His apprentices feared him when he gave a nonchalant stomp, but the sight of Arielle made him slightly uneasy.
Without warning, Arielle flashed a smile and asked in a pleasant tone, “Chef Quigley, do you mind if I use half of your ingredients? I don't think they are of use to you, anyway.”
Glenn frowned. “What do you mean by that?
Arielle picked up a piece of onion. “Look at this onion. I would've thought you didn't cut it. Also, this mushroom is bigger than the manager's head.”
The manager touched his balding head, feeling offended by her words.
However, Glenn was even more offended.
He had used a knife since he was seven to learn how to cut carrots. Putting his cooking skills aside, he had spent years practicing his knife skills. This was the first time someone had mocked his knife skills.
