Chapter 439: Weight of Choice (2)
“Didn’t you eles?”
“Well, Paris was so nice that I couldn’t ed with a smile at Min-joon’s nonchalant reply
He then looked over her shoulders There were quite a fewAnderson, Janet, Javier, as well as Maya, and other cooks There were even solanced back at them and whispered to Min-joon, “I tried to come here quietly, but they all followed me after they knew you would arrive today”
“As you know, reporters are the first who smell a rat It looks like I can’t avoid them now for an interview”
“Gosh, I just don’t knohy they didn’t fly to Paris to interview you instead of co to the airport here and disturb us like this”
Rachel folded her arms and shook her head as if she didn’t like the the shutters of their ca her expressions
They didn’t yet ask him any questions without her permission, but it seemed they would competitively throw questions as soon as she okayed
‘It’s good they are being patient like this’
The reporters’ restraint showed how influential Rachel was in this cooking world Even though they didn’t hesitate to ask the men of poithout any hesitation, they couldn’t ask even sis about their victory without her permission In some respects, this was a matter of her personality, not power, because they kneell that if they lost favor with her, she would never give theood story to write about On the other hand, if they won her favor, they often got scoops fro to i their earnest wishes, she was about to allow the quite surprising
“Chef Min-joon! I’oing to be the executive chef of the Pacific Hotel after this Paris contest or you would open your own restaurant What do you think? Are you really planning to leave Rose Island? ”
Kaya laughed scornfully The reporter was Jessica Prada who asked the question Jessica was the reporter who had seriously distorted Kaya’s affair with her former school friend Tess in her story It was tiain before Kaya, but she did, and asked a question that made all the parties concerned very uncomfortable
Min-joon stared at her coldly for a moment then looked askance at Rachel At that moment, Jessica clicked the shutter of a ca his teacher’sstory based on that fact alone She could tell her readers that he was checking her mood because he wanted to leave her or because he was not yet ready to leave her She could write a story focusing on either one And that hy she liked her job as a reporter, for she could make up the truth in her oay
Of course, what she just observed would not be a candidate for a gossip piece, but she see such a rude question She turned to other reporters
‘I’ve broken the ice, so you guys can ask, too You must be idiots if you don’t ask follow-up questions’
But Min-joon avoided replying to her question, but it was important which reporter made him answer
Anyway, Min-joon replied with a cold voice, “I haven’t said that I’ an intervieith you”
“Oh, excuse me As I already asked you a question, can you reply quickly? I think all the reporters here are about the question”
“Well, as you were rude fro, let me do the same to you I don’t want to answer your question”
“According toto win over your heart”
Min-joon really felt bad to hear her na how to reply He had not decided yet whether to leave Rose Island or continue to stay after the Paris contest Besides, he hadn’t talked with Rachel formally about what to do in the future
“It is true that Delia tried to hire me, but I’ve always rejected her offer And I don’t remember I’ve accepted her offer”
He wanted to enerate more wild rumors He didn’t like a satisfactory smile on Jessica’s face, but he couldn’t help it
Of course, after her first question, Min-joon purposely did not give Jessica another chance to ask Whenever she raised her hand, he let another reporter ask, which seemed childish, but nobody took issue with him for that
What they asked him was not much different from what he was asked in Paris But the American reporters focused more on which restaurant he would want to work for in the future While the French people werethan Min-joon himself, the American reporters focused more on Chef Min-joon himself, for he was as famous as any celebrity in America
But Min-joon felt really annoyed because of his popularity, for they asked lots of private questions, too So, he had to agonize over whether to reply to such questions or not
At that moment, somebody asked Rachel, not Min-joon or Kaya
“Chef Rachel I don’t think Chef Min-joon has a clear plan for his future, but I’d love to hear from you, Chef Rachel If Min-joon is hired by another restaurant with a generous offer, are you going to support his decision to leave?”
Rachel did not answer for a s then replied quickly, on for a while She looked at Cho Min-joon with her complicated eyes, and she i hi to keep him at Rose Island even in the future?”
Rachel looked at the reporter who asked the question The reporter flinched a bit when he noticed so question
Rachel opened her mouth
“damn it, why did that crazy bitchthe newspaper for a while, Delia shouted all of a sudden
Terry replied quietly, checking her expression, “I know you have been trying to hire Min-joon openly, so everybody knows it, although they are reluctant to mention it”
“Terry, I think you have becoenerous to you these days You remember what I warned you the other day? If you can’t hire Min-joon, you are going to be fired”
Terry pouted at her cold voice As ato forcibly win over his heart as the head chef of her hotel restaurant So, it was highly unlikely that any chef with the right mindset would ith her
“Ohs stand now, it’s even ht?”
“You already knew early on that he was going to be like that, didn’t you? Apart froreat potential as a star chef So, you should have approached hi But youme now?”
