Chapter 37 Cooking For Julie NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"Well...Okay."
Julie was stunned by Maria's offer to make noodles for her.
Her first instinct was to refuse, but her mouth seemed to have a mind of its own, and somehow she agreed.
The truth was, Julie was very particular about food and would not taste just anyone's cooking.
Lily was not the best maid they had interviewed, but she was the best cook, which was why Julie had decided to hire her.
When Julie and Maria returned to the villa, the sound of music and singing still came from upstairs, much to Julie's irritation.
It was only after walking into the kitchen and closing the soundproof door that Julie's expression improved slightly.
"Can you eat spicy food?"
"Well, just a little," Julie answered subconsciously.
She felt a little strange.
Although she was an elder, she was somehow willing to be led by the nose by Maria.
Maria got down to business right away.
She kneaded the dough, let it ferment for a while, flattened it with a rolling pin, and then skillfully cut the flat dough into noodles with a kitchen knife.
After cooking the noodles in a pot of boiling water, she prepared the soup and some fried pepper.
The fragrant aroma of noodle soup filled the whole kitchen.
As soon as Julie saw the fiery red pepper dripping over the noodles, she began salivating.
When Maria was done cooking, she put down the large bowl of noodles in front of Julie.
When Julie noticed the beads of sweat on Maria’s forehead, her usually cold face softened.
"Thank you," she murmured sincerely.
"I'm going back to my room.Remember to wash the bowl after you finish eating,"
Maria replied calmly as usual.
After saying that, she walked out of the kitchen and back to her room.
Sitting alone in front of the bowl of noodles, Julie was stunned.She had assumed that Maria had offered to cook noodles for her in order to get into her good books.
But now, she could see that in Maria's eyes, feeding her was no different from feeding a pet.
The gratitude in Julie's heart disappeared in an instant.
However, the bowl of noodles looked too tempting to waste.
After thinking for a while, Julie decided to take the bowl of noodles to her bedroom and finish it secretly there.
She didn't want others to see it.
Five minutes after Maria and Julie left the kitchen, Lily returned.
She was in good spirits, because she had just earned some extra money for herself.
Rich families like the Jenkins family had a lot of friends in high places, and thus received a lot of expensive gifts.
The number of gifts was such that there was a room in the Jenkins family house especially for storing them.
The Jenkins family couldn't be bothered to take care of these gifts personally, so they would ask Lily to tidy the room.
Every once in a while, Lily would report to Bill that the high-end desserts and fruits sent by the guests were about to expire and should be thrown away.
Bill never paid attention to such trifles.
He would just absent-mindedly wave his hand and let Lily deal with it by herself.
Today, Lily had lied to Bill that two high-end gift boxes were about to expire.
After getting permission from Bill to throw the gift boxes in the garbage, she had secretly taken them to a gift-recycling shop.
There, she had managed to sell the brand-new gift boxes at a lower price.
This was the source of Lily's extra income.
Lily hummed happily as she entered the house.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she found that the flour bag had been moved from its original place.
"It must have been that country girl again.Let me see how much flour she took,"
Lily murmured.
Since she hadn't prepared any food for Maria, she had guessed that the latter would cook something for herself.
When Lily opened the flour bag, she found that the amount of flour missing was far more than needed for one person.
"Could she actually eat so much? That's impossible! Then...did she steal the flour?"
At first, Lily was confused, and then her eyes lit up with excitement.
Just as she thought, Maria was a country girl with no guts at all.
There were so many valuable things in the Jenkins family house, but she only dared to steal the high- grade imported flour.
Lily laughed at Maria's cowardice, but at the same time, she was delighted that she finally had some dirt on Maria.
Making up her mind, she rushed to the door of Maria's room and knocked hard enough for everyone to hear.
"Come out! You shameless little thing! How can you be so shameless? Come out!"
