Daisy was impressed by the way he was handling the knife in the kitchen. She was surprised that aCEO knew how to cook and was good at it.
Lunch was ready in no time. Daisy went downstairs to let Emmeline and Sam knew that lunch wasserved. She told Emmeline, “I am impressed. Mr. Abel is good at cooking!”
“I thought everyone knew that already,” Emmeline smirked. She was happy that Daisy complimentedAbel’s cooking skills.
“Ms. Louise,” Daisy whispered to her, “I think Mr. Abel is a catch! You should consider him.”
“Don’t waste your time, Daisy,” Emmeline frowned, “I am starving! Let’s get to lunch now.”
“Oh well,” Daisy sighed and said, “Sure, after you, Ms. Louise.”
Sam locked the cafe door behind her and followed Emmeline upstairs. Mateo had also taken a breakand got to the dining room for lunch.
Mateo was shocked to see Abel wearing an apron. “I didn’t know you could cook, Mr. Abel.” He had noidea the pancakes he had this morning were made by Abel as well.
“It’s nothing too difficult for me,” Abel shrugged and took off the apron. “We have made everyone’slunch. Try my cooking, Mateo.”
“Of course!” Mateo was stunned and quickly went to the washroom. “I will wash my hands first.”
Emmeline was excited. She had not had enough of Abel’s cooking the other day at The Precipice, soshe was glad he was here today and had cooked for her.
Abel was happy to see Emmeline smiling. “Try the mashed potato, Emma. I think you would love it.” Hepointed toward the bowl of mashed potato in front of her.
She gladly tried the mashed potato and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. She beamed athim, “It’s delicious! You are so good at this.”
Mateo returned to the dining table and couldn’t wait to try Abel’s cooking. Daisy and Sam were alsowaiting eagerly to start eating. Abel quickly gestured for them to start digging in before sitting downbeside Emmeline.
Once he sat down, Abel couldn’t help but try to get Emmeline to take a bite of everything he hadprepared for lunch. “Try the meatloaf. You will love this!” For each bite she took, he would eagerly waitfor her comments. “How is it? Do you like it?”
Feeling out of place, the others ate in silence as they watched Abel trying to impress Emmeline.Thankfully, Abel left right after lunch.
Emmeline returned to work in the cafe. She had wanted to ask where he was going but stopped herselfin the end. She sighed as she saw him leaving.
Sam was grinding coffee beans when she said, “What has happened between you two? You look likeyou need to talk it out.”
“It is not so easy,” Emmeline sighed, “He has to consider Alana’s feelings, and I have to considerAdrien’s feelings. It is complicated.”
“I don’t think it’s as complicated as you believe,” Sam shrugged, “If it were up to me, I would simplyfollow my heart and be with my lover against all odds. Love conquers all!”
Emmeline chuckled. “Life is not a rom-com, unfortunately. There is so much more than just romance inlife. Life is also about family, friends and responsibilities. You cannot revolve your life around justromance, or you will end up in a mess.”
Sam shut her mouth because Emmeline was right. Indeed, life was not a rom-com, and women woulddo better without revolving their lives around romance. There was so much more to life than romance,and she should not focus on just one thing in life.novelbin
