Dr. Lester said, “He hasn’t had much appetite recently, he just can’t seem to stomach anything. If
you’re free, could you whip up some sick person–friendly grub for him?” Comelia replied, “My cooking
skills are pretty average, nothing compared to his personal chefs. If he can’t even choke down their
food, he probably wouldn’t be able to eat
mine either.”
Dr. Lester countered, “Sometimes, appetite isn’t all about the taste of the food. It might have something
to do with who’s doing the cooking. He might be sick of the fancy chef food, a change of menu might
just do the trick”
Cornelia asked, “How long has he gone without eating?”
Dr. Lester responded. “Not too long about two days.”

Cornelia started to soften, “Alright. The hospital is not far from my place, I’ll go home and cook
something, then bring it over.”
Dr. Lester, grinning from ear to ear, shook Cornelia’s hand firmly, “Thank you so much.”
With Cornelia on board, he didn’t have to deal with the big shot himself.
Seeing Dr. Lester’s beaming face, Cornelia suddenly got the feeling that she’d walked into a trap
Marcus was a hard–to–please foodie, who only ate organic vegetables grown by the Hartley Group’s
farm, along with the poultry and livestock raised there. To cook something up to his tastes, you’d need
not only good cooking skills but also top-notch ingredients.
After leaving the hospital, Cornelia had to drive a few extra miles to buy groceries from the Hartley
Group’s Blueshell Fresh Supermarket
The quality of the products at Blueshell Fresh Supermarket was better than other supermarkets, and
the prices were steeper too. You needed a membership card to shop there, and the typical annual
spend was in the six figures. It was a place for the wealthy. Even though Cornelia could get an internal
discount, she had never shopped there before.
Cornelia knew that when people were sick, their immune system was weak and their digestive system
slowed down, so they should eat lighter, easily digestible foods, but still needed to maintain a balanced
diet for quick recovery.
Not sure what to buy, Cornelia did a quick online search, considering staple grains, protein, vitamins,
etc. So, she bought a pumpkin and some Italian rice to make pumpkin porridge, and a few eggs for
making omelettes. Next, she picked half a chicken and some herbs for making chicken soup, and lastly,
she bought various fruits and milk. All these food items set her back nearly a thousand bucks.
After paying, Cornelia went straight to the service desk to get an invoice. This was Marcus‘ bill, and she
was definitely going to get Marcus to sign off on this.

think much of it
She started by cleaning the chicken, blanched it in boiling water, then put it in the pot with some
veggies.
While the chicken soup was simmering. Cornelia washed the rice to prepare for the pumpkin porridge.
Since the omelette wouldn’t take long to cook, she planned to make it when the soup was almost
ready, so it could be delivered to the hospital immediately.
To make a decent pot of soup, it would take at least two hours. During this break, Cornelia sent Natalia
a WhatsApp message, “Ms. Reese, could you spare a moment for a
chat?”
Someone quickly replied, “Ms. Stewart, I hope you understand the difference in status between you
and Natalia. Natalia is the darling of the Reese family, one of the most prestigious families in Riverton.
She’s like the brightest star in the night sky, out of reach for many. And you, let’s be real, you’re just a
servant of the Hartley family. Servants stay servants, they can never become the master. You should
know your place, don’t let me catch you bothering Natalia again.”
