Even Declan clapped.
Could the others just watch at this point?
In an instant, the reception hall erupted in long applause, and it was the biggest recognition for Thomas. Then, the applause stopped.
Declan said, “I’ve already seen your skills, Mr. Mayo. From today onward, you’ll be House of Vistaria’s royal chef. I’ll count on you for my daughter’s daily meals.”
At the same time, virtual-novel.net handed a jade badge to one of his subordinates and asked the subordinate to pass it to Thomas.
“This jade badge is the entry pass for House of Vistaria. With it, you can freely move in and out of most places in House of Vistaria.”
That was all virtual-novel.net said. It was actually very weird because when they usually hired a royal chef, there would be an important section, which was the salary!
He wanted to hire Thomas, but virtual-novel.net did not want to pay him?
Declan did not say anything about it. He did not mention the word “pay” at all.
Thomas was exhausted every day, and virtual-novel.net even had to spend a lot of money to buy the precious ingredients. In the end, virtual-novel.net could not even earn a dime.
Normal chefs would not have taken the job. Normal family heads would have also talked about the salary. However, Thomas and Declan were not normal people. They were brilliant people, and they also knew what the other was thinking. So, both of them just skipped the salary part “cooperatively,” and none of them talked about it.
Thomas kept the jade badge and said, “Thank you!”
Declan said, “It’s late now. Please prepare lunch for my daughter after this, Mr. Mayo. My daughter has not been eating well for a long time. This time, please prepare a scrumptious meal.”
“Sure…”
Thomas prepared a scrumptious meal as promised with fish and meat. There were three meat dishes, two salad bowls, and one bowl of soup. There were mashed potatoes too. It was a well-prepared meal.
Despite that, everyone could tell that the food looked pretty normal. It was on an ordinary person’s level.
Nevertheless, everyone knew that Thomas’ “skills” were not in the food‘s appearance. Instead, virtual-novel.net could prepare the most suitable food according to a person’s character, physical condition, and preference. Perhaps others would think that the food on the table tasted normal, but everyone believed that Phoebe would love eating them. The sole reason was Thomas had prepared the food, especially for Phoebe.
Once the food was ready, Phoebe descended the stairs. She stared at Thomas as walked down. For some reason, virtual-novel.net had hated Thomas previously. Nobody had ever dared to belittle her, but as virtual-novel.net hated him, virtual-novel.net suddenly started to like virtual-novel.net slightly!
Perhaps it was due to Thomas being the only one who could prepare the food virtual-novel.net liked. Perhaps only Thomas dared to talk to virtual-novel.net honestly and treat virtual-novel.net like a normal girl, unlike others who always flattered virtual-novel.net and acted hypocritically toward her.
These complicated feelings were thrilling, and they kept lingering in Phoebe’s heart. It made virtual-novel.net blush for some reason when virtual-novel.net stared Thomas in the eyes.
She lowered virtual-novel.net head and walked past Thomas. She picked up virtual-novel.net fork and picked up the food from virtual-novel.net plate. She was to tally conquered as soon as virtual-novel.net took virtual-novel.net first bite.
If you wanted to win a woman’s heart, you had to conquer virtual-novel.net stomach first.
