My Stubborn Mistress 7 French Cuisine

Ca.s.sie did not move until the car gone out of her sight... and before she could turn around, someone grab on her.

"Miss Young! How dare you!?" the girl about her age grabbed her shoulder to face each other.

"Aren't we besties!?"

Ca.s.sie sighed. She looks at Joanna's face, she looks funny as usual, "what's the matter? Aren't you going home?" she asked her.

Joanna replied, "Look, I just hold myself not to asks you this morning because the whole cla.s.s already fussing about it... But seeing that a while ago, I deserved an explanation, Miss Young."

Ca.s.sie stunningly pinches Joanna's cheek then giggles. "I know you are interested too." She began walking back to their cla.s.sroom and Joanna tailing her.

She glances at Joanna, she is her best friend ever since at Prep school... she knew everything of what's going on in her life. She already plans to tell her and she just waiting for the best time.

They seated on their desks which Joanna seated in front of her. From their cla.s.sroom, they could view the blue sea in the distance... It's getting noon but the island was filled with trees that give cool air.

The curtain of their cla.s.sroom was dancing from the wind, and so Joanna tied it down. Ca.s.sie opens the lunch box and she was surprised.

How she could finish them all? She smells it, looks delicious. She doesn't know Auntie Ling could cook like this.

"Wow! That looks yummy!" Joanna burst out. She looks really hungry, she was known for an appet.i.te anyway.

"Now, Miss Young, you can begin confessing." Joanna copied their Math teacher, gesturing she adjust her invincible reading gla.s.ses.

Pfft. She knows she can't get away if she'll take longer not to report. She then told Joanna of what happens yesterday. Joanna listening intently without blinking an eye.

"I don't know where Aunt Lydia right now," the last words she sighed.

"In my perspective views, it's good news if they are now been dead." Joanna slams her own desk. She rearranges their desks to create a table a while ago and so that they could face each other.

"Why you and auntie Ling thought the same?" Ca.s.sie still surprised hearing those cursing words... may she now has the ideas why they felt that way towards her aunt Lydia and truly she was treated unfairly but she still doesn't feel a grudge towards her. She witnessed how they seem to live in luxury, but she doesn't care because she's not a materialistic person. However, the fact that it's her money they spent on those things, that's the crime they did wrong to her... now she lost everything. She sighed.

"Now what you wanted to do? If you like to, we can adopt you." Joanna pats her left shoulder. She sounds joking but she knew Joanna is sincere in her words.

"You do not worry, I got a job to stay at the villa," she answered.

"What? Have you not realize that all your companion in that house were men?" Joanna asked hysterically.

Ca.s.sie just now have thought about it... From now on, she'll live in the same roof not only with her Master Shun but also Mr. Daichi, Mr. Rudolf, Mr. Jing and the other men in black suit.

"But they look, good people," she replied. "Auntie Ling likes them very much, so am sure they are decent."

Joanna grabs her shoulders, "If you think so, then let me know right away if they did something improper."

"What do you mean with that? Surely they will not put me in hard labor."

"You are just too innocent Miss Young. I need to become your knight in s.h.i.+ning s.e.xy armor." Joanna gesture a fist.

She let out a laughed. "No. You are just watching too much Chinese and Korean drama."

"What's wrong with it?"

"Alright, the food is getting cold," she said. She really is grateful to have a best friend like Joanna. She's the first person who always there for her. She had four younger siblings she just beat them up. Well, it must be very hard dealing four mischief brothers every day... and yet, Joanna never forgets to stick her nose to her issues. She always thoughtful and cared about her... yes, sister to sister attention. Ca.s.sie smiled.

"Ah, finally! I thought we will just watch the food whole lunch break." Joanna growled. They both laugh.

The food was finely wrapped... it also includes a pair of spoon and fork then a chopstick as well.

Ca.s.sie pick up the chopsticks and Joanna used the pork, she right away rams the meat. She chuckles watching Joanna fill her mouth.

They both sigh in satisfaction. The food was cook very well and it tastes very good. They haven't eaten food this tasty. The ingredients are typical meat and spices that can found on the island but how the dish turn this good?

"Wow. Is Auntie Ling who make this? When did she learn to cook this kind of dish?" Joanna asked between her full mouth.

They both know Auntie Ling cook very well, but Ca.s.sie wondered. The food tastes familiar. Where she did have eaten this kind of cuisine before?

"I think, I already tried this dish..." she told Joanna.

"Really?" Joanna doesn't stop filling her mouth. "Wow, even this vegetable" she praises.

Ca.s.sie still thinking, it could be possible? Looks like, either Mr. Rudolf or Mr. Daichi who cooks these foods.

"Ah, that's right!" Ca.s.sie suddenly remembered. "These are French cuisine!"

"Wow, really? Are you saying am eating international food?" Joanna asked like she doesn't care as long can be eaten. How she could know? She just lives on this island all her life.

"Yes. This cuisine is just taught in France. There is an academy who only the best cook can graduate. I heard, they are very strict. After a week from pre-enrolling, when you still can't learn the dish they give you, they will not accept you into the academy."

"What? I don't understand." Joanna murmurs.

Ca.s.sie continues, "they will teach you one dish then you have to perfect it in one week. All the new created dish in that academy, you have to apply the license for you to use that cuisine like in restaurant menus... I heard, only 5 stars hotel could afford it."

"Ah, no wonder this taste good. I thought I was dead already because I felt like I was in heaven."

She stares at Joanna and she really looks enjoying the food a lot. She shook her head and continued eating before Joanna will leave nothing for her and finish it all.

She needs to ask auntie Ling who makes these dishes to thank him later.
