Chapter 250:
Norah remained still. Her head tilted slightly as she possessed an intimate understanding of Harvey's character.
His passion for the culinary arts contrasted sharply with his lack of emotional intelligence.
To the uninformed, his presence might suggest a brewing storm. Following a brief exchange, Norah discerned
Harvey's motive for approaching her. His accusations of her disrupting the kitchen began to make sense.
Having bound herself to the kitchen, she readied a spread of delicacies for Sean’s return. With a deft touch,
Norah skillfully plucked the tail of a palm-sized shrimp, effortlessly extracting the entire shrimp line. During her
conversation with Harvey, she tidied a plate of shrimp.
Harvey, astounded by her prowess, initially dismissed her actions as mere showmanship, assuming she was
merely preparing a dessert and finishing for the day. Little did he know of her genuine culinary talent.
As the hotel orders flooded in, Harvey found himself pulled away from Norah's side, engrossed in his own duties.

“Oh, the fragrance is coming from her pot.”
The kitchen crew swiftly caught wind of the alluring aroma emanating from Norah's pot as she expertly stirred
and flipped the ingredients, occasionally igniting bursts of flames. A keen observer pointed it out, but Norah
remained unfazed. She continued her rhythmic activity, maneuvering the contents within the pot.
Even Harvey, momentarily entranced, paused, drawn in by her culinary finesse. In Otland, such cooking
techniques were a rarity. Harvey recognized the distinct style and anticipated exceptional flavors.
Having delved into the intricacies of Norah’s homeland cuisine, he understood the complexity of wok flipping.
Yet, Norah executed the task effortlessly, displaying a mastery beyond compare. Truly a professional.
Covering the blazing pot with a lid, Norah reduced the heat to a gentle simmer, completing the savory celery
stir-fry with beef. The fragrant blend of thinly sliced meat and crisp vegetables permeated the surroundings.
The nearby kitchen staff found themselves unable to resist the allure of the tantalizing aroma.
As the moment approached, Norah proceeded to prepare other dishes, including steamed shrimp and stewed
fish. The fish, adorned with a drizzle of sauce, curled its tail, emitting a delightful fragrance.
The mingling scents of sweet and sour tantalized the senses, eliciting uncontrollable salivation from the
onlookers. At that moment, Sean's call pierced the air.

“Norah, are you at the hospital? I've wrapped up my tasks and will be there to pick you up. Have you decided on
a place to dine tonight?”
“Yes, I've made up my mind.”
Unveiling the steamer, a cloud of steam gently billowed out, revealing a collection of slider buns, each as plump
and adorable as the last. Unlike the robust aroma of the stir-fry, the slider buns exuded a delicate fragrance of
flour.
Harvey, engrossed in his cooking, observed Norah's efficiency. In the tit took him to prepare four dishes,
Norah had crafted several with ease. His speed seemed sluggish in comparison.
Within a three-tiered steamer sat nearly twenty handmade slider buns, all perfectly prepared by Norah.
Norah carefully packed the dishes into containers, sealing them one by one. As the delectable creations vanished
from the kitchen, both Harvey and the kitchen staff felt a pang of longing. Oh, how they wished they could taste
her cooking!
