Chapter 1336
Goldie said, “Yeah, you know, being healthy and safe is what it’s all about
They chatted for ages, mostly about day–to–day stuff. Before they knew it, two hours had passed.
Goldie had her maid whip up some lunch. Before they ate, Cornelia had to use the loo.
There was a sandalwood scent in the bathroom that felt really familiar to her. She glanced around and found out it
was indeed a brand she recognized. Back when she was living in the Celestial Chateau, Patricia would always have
this kind of sandalwood in every bathroorn to keep it smelling fresh. This sandalwood wasn’t cheap though, and not
something an average family could afford.

Coming out of the bathroom, Cornelia asked, “Goldie, did you get the place done up when you moved in?”
Caught off guard, Goldie then smiled and said, “Yeah, I got it all spruced up. Everyone’s got their own taste in decor.
Even if the previous owner had it looking mint, if the next one isn’t into it, it’s a no go.”
Cornelia said, “You got that right.”
Goldie said, “Nelly, let’s eat, shall we?”
Cornelia said, “Sure.”
All the dishes were Cornelia’s favorite Rosenberg cuisine. There was roast meat, black pepper pork chops and so on
Goldie was being a really gracious host, and Cornelia felt a bit uneasy. She casually cut a piece of black pepper pork
chop to taste.
The taste instantly reminded her of someone, but she kept her poker face on. Goldie didn’t notice anything off and
asked Cornelia, “Nelly, do you like it?”
Cornelia nodded, “It tastes like home, I love it.”
Goldie immediately passed more dishes to Cornelia, “Eat up then, I had these dishes specially prepared for you.”
Cornelia said, “Goldie, I might pop in quite often from now on. You won’t have to go to all this trouble to prepare so
much food.”
Goldie said, “We’ve been chatting on WhatsApp for so long, and this is our first official meet–up. Of course I had to
pull out all the stops and make a good impression.
Cornelia smiled, then asked, “Goldie, after we eat, can I look around a bit?”
This being her first time here, it could come off as a bit forward.

But Goldie didn’t object, in fact, she said, “Of course you can. Treat this place like your own home, do whatever you
want.”
Looking up at Goldie, Cornelia asked with a smile, “Goldie, was the chef who cooked today’s lunch a guy or a girl?”
Goldie said, “You want to poach my chef?”
Cornelia laughed and said, “Yeah, can you introduce me?”
Goldie said, “This chef is usually quite busy and doesn’t do much cooking for others. If you want to eat, you can
come to my place next time, what do you think?”
Cornelia said, “You have your own work to do, it might not always be convenient. It would be great if you could
introduce this chef to me.”
Patricia hadn’t mentioned anything about this, Goldie didn’t know what to say and involuntarily glanced to the side.
