Chapter 199 I Am Here To Help With The Preparatio...

Following Giselle's instructions, Brenna had avoided going to the studio on Wednesday, hoping to prevent another mishap like the one at the return banquet, where her late arrival had caused unnecessary misunderstandings.

Determined to stay on top of her workload, Brenna spent Tuesday night working tirelessly, pushing herself until the early hours. She finally succumbed to exhaustion and collapsed into bed at three in the morning.

By the time Brenna awoke, it was well past noon, and her stomach growled in protest. Quickly throwing on some clothes, she made her way downstairs in search of something to eat.

Meanwhile, preparations for the evening's birthday party were well underway. Giselle had spared no expense, hiring three professional chef teams-one for the main courses, one for appetizers, and another one for desserts. Each team came equipped with its own specialized tools and had set up a temporary kitchen at the farthest corner of the Harper family's sprawling state.

Amid this flurry of preparation, with staff darting between decorations and deliveries, Brenna's quiet descent went unnoticed.

She soon found the family's head chef still orchestrating lunch service, the meal not ready yet.

Julia, now promoted to housekeeper, spotted Brenna and approached her with a friendly smile. "Miss Harper," she said, her tone warm. “Mrs. Harper has commissioned elite culinary experts for tonight's event, including Shirie's most celebrated pastry chef. They're all set up in the garden; would you like to take a look?"

Brenna's interest was immediately piqued. She nodded, eager to see what they were preparing.

Upon entering the garden, she saw the chefs busy with their preparations. The teams for the main courses and appetizers were still working with ingredients, and none of the dishes were ready yet.

However, the dessert team had completed a selection of delicate treats, already arranged and waiting to be

served.

As Brenna took in the scene, a familiar voice spoke from behind her. "Ensure the desserts are properly stored in the fridge. We can't risk losing their freshness or compromising their quality."
