That roguishness kept his subordinates at bay.
But there were quite a few bodyguards, Mariana had also heard. Actually, she had only met the two
who were at Leopoldo's side, and the man's oddity was evocative.
-Madam, do you need to cook? -The cook looked at Mariana and took the initiative to ask.
Mariana looked at him and nodded.
-When the end of the day comes, Leopoldo will be back. So I'm going to prepare dinner myself," she
said with a smile.
She rarely entered the kitchen and basically never did.
-Of course.
All three of them showed surprised expressions when they heard that Leopoldo was coming back. It
had been a long time since Leopoldo had last returned for dinner.
But now, Mariana actually said that Leopoldo was coming back.
This news was certainly good news.
-I don't need your help, I can do it alone.
What Mariana wanted to use was nothing more than a kitchen. As for the rest, she had to do it herself.
Preparing a meal was no easy task.
-Then we'll be next door, lending a hand.
The chef's territory was the kitchen, other than that, the rest of the Durán house was out of his scope of
involvement.
It was very hard for Leopoldo to go back and he couldn't help but want to help.
This would make the chef's heart feel much better.
-No need, I'll do it -Mariana replied directly and walked into the kitchen. But when she entered, she
realized that the location of many things was not clear to her.
Therefore, someone still had to help her.
When the cook next door saw this scene, his face became like a bitter gourd. If Mariana was willing to
let him help her, that would naturally be for the best.
-You could help me.
After glancing at the time, Mariana decided to let the cooks give her a hand.
This way, it might be faster.
-Good, good.
Having easily waited for these words, the chef nodded his head one after the other. Being able to help
Mariana was undoubtedly the happiest thing for the chef.
But Mariana's culinary skills were not known to be this incomprehensible....
-The oil is too hot -only when he saw that the pan was burning red, the chef was quick to remember
Mariana.
How was it that in just one vegetable wash, Mariana's pan was already this hot? Only after receiving
the chef's reminder did Mariana hurriedly turn around and prepare to set the dishes.
The water inside the dish, which had just hit the pan, was thundering and frying for half a day.
Mariana looked at the pan and her whole body froze.
-Madam, turn around.
How could the chef expect Mariana's cooking to have such an effect? She looked at the dishes in the
pot and felt in her heart that it was hard to say anything.
Today, Leopoldo would really have a feast.
-Oh -Mariana looked at the vegetables in the pot and was a little speechless. After much hesitation, she
still picked up the spatula and turned the vegetables in the pot several times, and her heart burned.
She hoped Leopoldo would not give this dish a bad review.
-Condiment," the cook handed over the seasoning and reminded Mariana from the side.
Mariana followed her own judgment and placed several condiments. The cook had been cooking for
many years and, from his own experience, he could tell that the level of Mariana's cooking was very
poor.
But it was Mrs. Durán, that was a mistake that was better not to mention.
Anyway, it was a sign of the lady's love for Leopoldo.
-Almost done," Mariana looked at the dishes in the pot and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She
followed the instructions on her phone and prepared another sautéed dish and a soup.
Seeing her results, Mariana had a satisfied smile on her face.
The cook came over to look at him and wanted to say something.
-Is he coming back? -Mariana asked unconsciously as she looked at the dish in front of her. It could be
considered that the dish that had taken so much effort to make had had a good result.
Seeing this, the butler stepped forward.
-Madam, the young master will be back in a few moments.
-Mariana was satisfied with the dish she had prepared and picked up her chopsticks to taste it. But then
she put them back on the table.
Leopoldo was going to arrive soon, so there was no panic at this point.
More than eating the food herself, Mariana wanted to see Leopoldo's reaction with her own eyes. She
had cooked a great table with her heart and soul, all for Leopoldo's sake. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
The cook gave Mariana a sidelong glance and couldn't help swallowing saliva.
-Someone serve all these dishes on the table," Mariana put down her chopsticks and instructed the
butler. At that moment, the cook's heart felt slightly relieved.
The dishes looked good, but what was put on them, the chef knew better than Mariana.
Flavors like that, paired were a dark cuisine.
-Okay.
The housekeeper didn't sense anything was wrong, but was relieved by Mariana's behavior. Leopoldo
should be thrilled to see these meals.
Everyone knew that Leopoldo was not generally affectionate with Mariana.....
-Young master.
The butler was at the door, respectfully waiting for Leopoldo. Without a word, Leopoldo strided toward
the dining room.
He was also curious to know what Mariana's cooking was like.
-Are you back? -Mariana looked at Leopoldo, her eyes shining.
Leopoldo's eyes rested on Mariana's body and he unconsciously hesitated for a moment.
He was curious about her work.
-Have you cooked yet?
The housekeeper was busy receiving the clothes Leopoldo was taking off.
Mariana stepped forward and nodded vigorously. It had taken her a long time, and Mariana had thought
long and hard about making a table of dishes.
In her mind, however, it came at a price.
Leopoldo's eyes fell on the dining table behind the woman, and sure enough, there was a meal laid out
on it. It appeared that Mariana had invited him to dinner.
-Did the chef help you make it? -Leopoldo glanced at her and couldn't help but ask.
Mariana approached the dining table alone, thoughtfully poured herself a bowl of soup and handed it
directly to the man.
-No, I did it all by myself.
-Really? -Leopoldo looked at her suspiciously.
Mariana handed the soup to the man and could not help but ask:
-How has the matter been resolved at the company?
At that moment, Leopoldo had left in a hurry, so she assumed that something important must have
happened.
Leopoldo nodded, his eyes resting on the food.
-Yes, it has been resolved.
-Will you have the soup first? -Mariana watched the man eat the soup, his eyes shining.
Leopoldo looked at the soup in the bowl and found it too bland, so he couldn't help but ask:
-What did you put in this soup?
-Bird's nest, chicken and red dates," said Mariana without hesitation, but Leopoldo instantly lost interest
in the soup.
The soup was indeed very nourishing.
Leopoldo looked at the soup in front of him, then looked at Mariana and said bluntly:
-Do you have something to tell me?
Today's Mariana was very abnormal.
