Memories Of The Night Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Winning His Favor

First, cut the scallion into sections, cut the ginger into shreds, and reduce the p.r.i.c.kly ash. Then, heat oil in a wok. Add the scallion, ginger, and p.r.i.c.kly ash and stir-fry them until it's fragrant. Then add the beef…

Currently, Katrina is in the kitchen. Wearing an ap.r.o.n, she's cooking systematically with a spatula in her hand.

Katrina isn't a rich girl who only enjoys wealth and honor. Although her cooking skills aren't that good, she can cook a few simple dishes.

After staying at Aaron's villa for so long, she knows his character well.

Aaron is definitely a person who can be persuaded by reason, not force. The more repulsive she acts and the more eager she is to leave, the more closely he monitors her. But the more submissive she is, the better he treats her.

Therefore, if she wants to leave, she can't rely on force.

She has to pander to him, please him, and make him feel good about her, to get him to trust her enough.

This way, she's more likely to leave.

Bored out of her mind, Katrina suddenly gets the idea to cook a meal for Aaron.

Katrina eats and sleeps in the villa every day. Sometimes, she goes out for a leisurely walk in the sun. She doesn't have to work or worry about housework. She's not used to a life of advanced retirement. It's time to do some exercise.

When Katrina proposes her idea to Randy, his wrinkled face is suddenly covered with a surprised smile. He agrees immediately, "That's a good idea! If Mr. Wilson knows that Miss Miller personally cooked for him, he will certainly be very happy!"

Katrina smiles at Randy.

She also hopes to win Aaron's favor.

Katrina carefully selects several dishes she wants to cook, then writes down the ingredients on a piece of paper before handing it to Randy. "Randy, please help me prepare these."

"Yes, Miss Miller. I'll go prepare them right now!" He takes the note and immediately arranges for servants to make preparations.

Randy is loyal to Aaron.

His duty is to do his best to take care of Aaron's life and help him take care of his home. Since this is something that will make Aaron happy, he tries his best to cooperate.

Randy is very efficient.

It isn't long before the kitchen counter is neatly stacked with the materials that Katrina needs.

All the ingredients are the freshest and the best, and even the beef is imported.

Randy leads Katrina into the kitchen. She's satisfied with the preparations.

Not only are the ingredients the best, but all the kitchen utensils inside are also readily available and specially customized. Even the serving plates are made of top-grade porcelain and look particularly luxurious.

Katrina gets familiar with the kitchenware and begins to prepare cooking.

Randy stands aside and asks respectfully, "Miss Miller, don't you need two chefs to help you?"

Ask the chefs to help her? Help her wash and cut vegetables and deliver things?

The chefs in Aaron's villa are skilled enough to work at five-star hotels. It will be a disservice to make these prestigious chefs a.s.sist an entry-level cook like her.

Katrina quickly shakes her head. "No, Randy. I can do it myself."

A person in an ordinary family can do all the dishes alone without someone's help. Katrina is used to doing everything on her own. When she cooks, she's always on her own.

"Well, Miss Miller, I'll go out first. If there's anything you want, you can call me at any time."

Randy gives Katrina some room to make her feel at ease while she cooks.

Katrina smiles. "Okay, Randy."

Her menu consists of stewed beef with potatoes, pork ribs with garlic, Mapo tofu, stir-fried eggs with fungus, and a yam stew chicken soup.

She washes and cuts the vegetables, then turns on the stove and pours oil into a pan. She mult.i.tasks the entire time, never spending an idle moment.

An hour later, she's filled with a sense of accomplishment when she sees her dishes.

Randy comes in and smells the aroma of the dishes she prepared. He can't help but praise, "They smell so good! You're so virtuous, Miss Miller!"

Although five-star restaurant chefs are highly skilled in cooking and can cook dishes full of flavors and colors, the food they make always feels like it came in a hotel or restaurant. Overeating might make one nauseous.

But home-cooked food is different. Although it looks ordinary, no matter how much people eat, they will never feel bad. The aroma also makes people feel the comfort of a home.

Hearing Randy's praise, Katrina's pretty face bursts into a smile as she hands Randy a pair of chopsticks. "Randy, have a try and tell me how it tastes."

Good dishes should definitely be shared with others.

The greatest gratification for a cook is someone else's praise for their dishes.

Although Randy gets hungry from the delicious aroma, he still refuses, "No, no, Miss Miller. I'll give you a lunch box to pack it in. Please give it to Mr. Wilson."

Mr. Wilson hasn't even tasted it, how dare he take the first bite?

At Randy's rejection, Katrina doesn't insist. Although in her eyes, Randy is a gentle and kind elder, he's not Aaron's relative. He's just Aaron's servant. It's Randy's duty not to offend him.

With Randy's help, Katrina takes the dishes and puts them in an insulated cooler.

Katrina goes to Aaron's company by car under the escort of Aaron's heelers.

Meanwhile, Aaron picks up the ringing phone in his office. A voice from the front desk comes, "Mr. Wilson, a lady named Victoria Roberts, is here to see you."

Victoria?

What's she doing here?

Aaron frowns and finally says, "Let her in."

Then he hangs up the phone.

Before long, there's a sound of high-heeled shoes tapping on the floor. Victoria comes in with a box of desserts. She has a gentle smile on her beautifully made-up face. "Aaron," she greets.

Aaron raises his head from his work, and he smiles politely. "Miss Roberts, what brings you here today?"

Victoria walks into the office and shows the box of desserts in her hand. "Aaron, I've brought you dessert."

Aaron asks his secretary to prepare a cup of tea for Victoria.

Victoria sits on the sofa with a shy smile on her face. "Aaron, I'm really happy you liked the dessert I made."
