Resent, Reject, Regret

Chapter 773 Just A Wall Away

Julia held her chin with the thick of her palm. “I got bored of takeout, ugh! Sure, my grandfather hired a cook, but I bet she wishes she could be as good as you are.

There’s no joy in eating what she makes! She still has her job because my grandfather explicitly forbids me from firing people out of my preferences!”

Then, suddenly, her eyes glinted. She cast a very meaningful stare in Deirdre’s direction. “Wait a sec. Why don’t… you become our new cook!? Name your price! I bet it’ll pay you way more than being my piano teacher.”

“But if that’s not enough for you, then go ahead and give me an earful. I can take it!”

‘That’s a little extreme.” Deirdre tittered, amused.
