Serenity and Zachary York

Chapter 3213

Isabella laughed when she saw Tati's speechless expression. "Alright, you might not like him now, but you can't say for sure in the future.

"You can come over and eat at my place every day. Spend some time with him and get to know him. If he's really a sincere, nice guy, it's fine if he's from a bit further away. I'm sure Uncle Harold and Aunt Margaret will approve, albeit reluctantly. Or we can get him to settle here."

Tati was well and truly speechless now. Since Isabella put it like that, she did not dare to freeload meals off her anymore, lest she was misunderstood for fancying Austin.

All the little misunderstandings between his future wife and sister-in-law were unbeknownst to Austin as he followed Dominic back to his quarters.

Dominic congratulated him with a smile. "We'll be colleagues from now on, Austin. I hope we can work together for a long time."

All the O'Connors lived on the same estate but in different buildings with their own families.

The turnover rate for chefs at the main house, which was Isabella and her family's residence, was very high. Dominic hoped that there would be someone who could last longer than a year. He had never been able to really get to know the other chefs in the past before they ended up leaving too soon.

Austin smiled too. "I hope so, too. I'll have to work really hard on my recipes and make Ms. Isabella fall in love with my cooking."

"If you could do that, you'd be amazing. You would definitely be crowned the god of cooking if you took part in a cooking competition."

It was not easy to familiarize Isabella's palette with one person's cooking.

Austin laughed. "I don't really care about all that. I just want to improve my skills and satisfy my customers."

He would normally give pointers to

the chefs he hired. If he improved,

that would mean his chefs improved, and then his business would boom too. Of course, only those who signed a long-term contract with him would get the pointers, lest they learn his trade

secrets and turn tail to become his

competition instead.

He did not dare to teach them everything either. After all, it was said that the mentor would starve to death if the disciple learned everything. He had to keep some cards up his sleeve to make sure his business would not be stolen by his apprentices.

Either way, his apprentices would

have to at least move cities to establish their restaurants. They would not and did not dare to steal his business, probably fearing York Corporation, which was backing him and owned a share of the f

beverage industry too. Kevin and

managed it and it had become ant

industry leader.

Dominic already knew that Austin was a business owner and he laughed. "That's true, you came here to improve. Once you start, you'll,

find that Ms. Isabella will usually give you some suggestions to improve your dishes. If she doesn't, that means she's very much satisfied.

"The only thing is that you won't have anyone to compare notes with. The chefs in the other houses aren't as good as ours."

Ms. Isabella was the pickiest, so naturally, the main house had the best chef.

"Everyone has their specialties. I can learn from them to make up for my weaknesses, though most don't usually easily share their skills."

Dominic smiled. "That is indeed the case."

The chefs who worked at Dunboy Manor would usually get along, but when they were cooking, everyone worked in different positions and would not communicate, let alone exchange tips. No one wanted their trade secrets to be learned by others.

That would endanger their jobs, which was what everyone feared.
