Chapter 438 - Weight of Choice (1) (2/2)
“Yeah, that’s why I haven’t become the best in my field, Dobby”
She made a secret confession to herself like that
Min-joon and Kaya’s win in the Paris International Cooking Contest generated quite a bit ht Not only they produced documentaries to publicize the Paris contest, but they also did lots of intervieith the two in the process
There were lots of French on the street, and when they stopped by a restaurant, the chef came out to say hello to the to depart Paris after wrapping up all their contest schedules
At the airport, Min-joon held Brandon’s hand and said with a smile, “Thank you, Brandon”
“You’re welcome I only let you use ht have felt unco Thanks for your consideration”
“Stop saying that Anyway, thanks to you guys, we’ve seen a sharp increase in our reservations”
“Thank you for saying so”
“Don’t thank me, man”
As if he was embarrassed, Brandon shook his head
Then he said with a heavy voice, “Now you’ll have to think carefully when you return”
“What do you mean?”
“You knohat Iabout the sous chef position at Rose Island?”
Brandon nodded at that But Min-joon just scratched his head with a sigh To be honest, he could not figure out as the right answer
Brandon said in an unusually calm voice, “You had better make sure what you really hen you return If you stay at thewith her, you could be a successor, as many head chefs think”
“Do you think I’m with Chef Rachel because I want to be her successor?”
“Of course you reat Even if you don’twith her everyday is a reward But let’s be honest You don’t hate being her successor, right? If so, you don’t have to feel it’s unfair if other chefs say they covet your position”
Min-joon sighed silently He wanted to deny it, but he also felt what Brandon said was not totally wrong
Brandon asked, “Just choose the path that’s best for you Chefs like June are so anxious to take the position of the general er of Rose Island, but there are also chefs like me who don’t care about it They think such a title is just annoying Which side are you ?”
“Me?”
“You must have learned all you could froht learn soht be better for you to work for another chef or to open your own restaurant You started cooking with another chef, but you started your professional career with Chef Rachel But if you continue to stay with her until the moment you becoht end up being another Rachel, not Min-joon himself?”
It was Kaya, not Min-joon, who said that Min-joon looked at her
Brandon nodded and said, “It’s funny to say so like this when you have learned from her for only one year But you’ve absorbed a lot of Chef Rachel’s cooking skills during one year That’s why I’ you now you should think about your future well” Don’t take my words too seriously, of course It’s justrunted, with a dissatisfied expression Min-joon replied with a s it up withto say thank you because you don’t like it See you next ti on the plane, Kaya quietly asked Min-joon, “So, have you thought about your next move?”
“To be honest, I don’t want to leave Rose Island, but I don’t know I just want to follohat Chef Rachel will decide, but if I don’t tell her what I think, she won’t let o”
“Man, are you too confident or are you relying on her too much?”
“Both What do you want me to do?”
“Whatever you do, it would be nice if you don’t part with her Given the choice, I want you to ith me in the same restaurant That seems a hard choice for you for now”
“Well, I don’t knohen, but I want to do it with you”
“What do youwith me at the same restaurant?”
“Yeah, it’s my dream to ith you in the same restaurant”
“When did you have your dream?” she asked as if she was duently If he said that he had that dream from the moment he first saw her on TV, could she believe it?
During their trip to Los Angeles, they kept talking about the same topic, namely which restaurant they would want to work at But they could not find the answer until the eles
Min-joon saw Rachel, his lovely teacher who careet hi at hiht he would feel relaxed the moment he saw her, but he didn’t He could hardly take his step, with lots of concern sitting heavily on his mind
