Chapter 385 - WHATS NEXT (1/2)

In the dining room, they were eating as well as talking about the plan. They all seemed relaxed since most of their work was done. They only had a patisserie problem.

Han Luo declared, ”You have to because I've decided that Sophia will make the pastries. Her skills are top notch. However, we need to have William's recipe. Nancy-”

”No, I won't hand over Will's recipe to a stranger!” Nancy declined.

Han Luo took a deep breath and calmly said, ”Nancy, I understand that you are having a hard time trusting me and my chef but I can assure you nothing bad will happen.”

She was being considerate because she could understand her feelings. If she was in Nancy's place, she would have a hard time deciding too. After all, Nancy hardly knew Han Luo and she met Sophia for the first time. She had no idea what kind of people they were.

Sophia saw Nany didn't trust her. She spoke earnestly, ”Yes, I have my own recipes. I have no interest in your brother's recipe.”

Nancy couldn't be assured just by this. She said, ”Even so, I cannot hand over something my brother worked so hard for. I'm sorry. I must leave.” After that, she got up from the seat and was ready to leave.

Han Luo quietly said, ”Leave if you must but know that William is a part of our team. We are all witnesses today. We can take Sophia's written oat. If she ever steals your brother's recipe, we will have every right to send her to the prison.”

Nancy hesitated, ”But…”

Han Luo interrupted her words and said, ”If you don't want to, it's fine by us. We will go according to Sophia's recipe. When William recovers, he cannot his own recipe and has to follow Sophia's recipe till the contract is up. Afterward, he has to go to another shop. Are you okay with this?”

Thomas, Isla, and Johannes quietly listened to their conversation. They didn't know what they could say. Indeed, it was hard for Nancy but they got a project to finish. Even Han Luo said that she would go to great lengths to have a written oath from Sophia.

Nancy finally said, ”I need time to decide.”

Han Luo gave her permission, ”You will have one day to decide. After all, we have to start working on baking parties soon.” She also reminded her of how important it was for Nancy to decide quickly.

”If you allow me… I can be your patisserie's substitute.” Someone came forward and interrupted them.

Han Luo looked behind her and saw a boy who was older than her. ”Jack!” she beamed. Jack was Sophia's son who worked as a bartender part-time. He sometimes helped his mother bake pastries since he loved doing it.

”I can bake in my mother's place instead,” Jack announced.
