Volume 1 Chapter 17 Han Luo Is Hungry (1/2)
The maid's heart ached for the little girl. She carried Han Luo into the kitchen. The kitchen staff and the chef looked at the two in surprise. The staff were all female, and the chef was a fifty year old woman. She asked, ”Why did you bring the kid here? It's dangerous for children to be in the kitchen.”
The maid replied, ”The little miss didn't eat anything even after leaving the house.”
The kitchen staff gasped in unison. ”What?”
The cook exclaimed worriedly, ”She must be starving!”
”Look at her small face! So pitiful!”
”How could her own family starve her?”
”I should have given her a lunch box when she went out.” The maid regretted that she didn't do so. Who knew that her auntie would starve her?
The kitchen staff came forward and softly spoke to Han Luo. ”I just baked some macarons. Would you like some?”
Han Luo silently nodded she was too weak to speak or smile.
The kitchen staff handed her a pink macaron. Han Luo slowly took it and gave it a bite, with her small pearl-like teeth. After tasting it, her eyes sparkled in delight. She grinned at the kitchen staff who baked it while slowly finishing off the macaron.
The staff were overwhelmed. ”Oh my! She has quite the way of expressing her gratitude. I like her already.” One of the kitchen staff put Han Luo on the kitchen counter and gave her a full bowl of macarons. ”Here, have all of them.”
The chef asked, ”Isn't she the little princess of the Han Family? Her father was the President before they had the accident. President Han had a good reputation. His wife as well. To think that their only child is suffering like this”
”It must be because of jealousy.” The maid firmly declared.
”Jealousy?” Since they are all female workers, they like to gossip; the maid just sparked their curiosity.
”Maybe Madam Han is jealous that her husband is the Vice President, but his younger brother is the President.”
”That makes sense. President Han Ying Wei is handsome and intelligent. He has the name and fame, but his older brother gets nothing. As petty and narrow minded Madam Han is, being the wife of the oldest son must be hard on her.”
”Maybe it could be that Madam Han likes President Han! He is so good looking. I heard that many women cried when he got married!”
”Or it could be that, because President Han's wife was more beautiful and kinder than her, Madam Han was jealous and is lashing out her jealousy on her daughter.”
”She must be heartbroken since President Han chose a good woman.”
