Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 249:

Harvey Brown, the chef, furrowed his brow as he observed the unfolding scene. Upon Norah’s entry into the kitchen, an unusual tension filled the air.

Harvey, an enthusiast for delicious food and a lover of cooking, disapproved of seeing the kitchen staff slacking off because of a woman’s appearance.

Setting aside his task, Harvey approached Norah, who was busy kneading dough on the table, intermittently adding water and flour. She even cracked an egg into the mixture, appearing as if she were playing with mud.

Harvey snorted, criticizing, “The kitchen is no place for playing house, ma’am. If you want to bake something, you should go to the dessert house.”

His rudeness made the other workers in the kitchen frown. Harvey, being the chef of the five-star hotel, was known for his talent and arrogance. He often looked down on junior staff, resorting to verbal aggression.

His words provoked disapproval from everyone in the kitchen, even drawing the ire of the warehouse manager responsible for overseeing all kitchen operations.

Norah didn’t seem bothered. She concentrated on kneading the dough with her hands. After completing the preparations, she wrapped it with plastic wrap.
