The old man was chubby, and his cheeks were flushed red. He seemed incredibly energetic.
Penny couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you the state banquet chef and the Michelin-starred chef, Mr. Lewis?”
The chef let out a bellow of laughter. "Yes, I am Steve Lewis. There might be impersonators but look. My knife can prove who I am!”
As he said that, everyone looked at his knife. There were some words engraved on itState Banquet Chef, Michelin-starred Chef. A gift from the Grand Council.
Penny giggled. "Mr. Chef, are you here to prepare Beef Wellington for us?"
Steve bowed deeply to Nathan before smiling at Penny at Queenie. "Haha! If I'm not mistaken, this must be Mrs. Cross and Little Ms. Cross."
"Yes. I heard that Mr. Cross wished to eat my Beef Wellington, so I hurried over to prepare it for you. Look, I even brought my knife along. Haha!"
Penny and her family were shocked, yet ecstatically happy at this moment.
On the other hand, Hank and Prudence were dumbfounded by the turn of events.
Shane was no better. The moment the Michelin-starred chef arrived, his eyes widened as his jaw dropped open in shock.
Right now, he wanted to slap himself twice to see if he was daydreaming.This is too ridiculous to be true!
He forced himself to calm down and went to greet Steve. "Hello, sir. I'm Shane Ortiz from the Ortiz family in Alberesque."
"I've reserved your restaurant today. This morning, I made a call to invite you to cook for us, but you rejected me. But why did you come when Nathan asked you to?"
Steve frowned and glanced at Shane before he asked Nathan, "Mr. Cross, is he your friend?"
