Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Casper added, “If you think it’s unfair, you can send someone of your choice just to be safe.”

However, Sharon shook her head and asserted, “That won’t be necessary since you have allowed me to decide on the challenges for the first two rounds.”

Casper smirked when Sharon turned him down. He thought that was a sign he could win her over at the end of the match. “Alright, what’s the first challenge that’s in store for us?”

Sharon retrieved her utensils and announced, “You’re not allowed to consider yourself a cook unless you have a sharp sense of taste! Therefore, the first challenge is to determine if you have it or not!”

“What exactly are you up to? You’re not going to hand over a freaking jalapeno to me and ask me to consume it without anything else, are you?” Casper asked with a frown.

Sharon rolled her eyes and answered, “We’ll prepare the list of ingredients for the dishes we’re about to make. Once we’re done, we’ll get the other party to savor the dish and name the ingredients that are involved. The one with more correct guesses will be the winner.”

“Ms. Alder, are you aware the first challenge you have in store for me is actually unfair to you? I don’t wish to take advantage of you! Are you sure you wish to proceed?”

Actually, Sharon was well aware of the shortcomings Casper had mentioned. But because she was in a hurry, she didn’t have time to work on the details.

“The sense of taste is the most important asset of a cook! I can’t think of any other method we can use to measure this! If you’re concerned, we’ll get something else to stop us from peeking at one another when we’re cooking!” Sharon couldn’t be bothered by the details, but she had started perceiving Casper as a different man.

“Sure, Ms. Alder! If that’s the case, we’ll leave you alone until you’re done!”

At that, Casper brought the rest of the chefs out of the kitchen with him. Louis was the only one allowed to stay behind.
