Chapter 295 - Long Forgotten Dessert.
When Li Xue got at the scene her eyes paused to look at the woman who was sitting with all charms of elegance intact with her, her one leg over the other and arm perfectly kept on the table. Be it her posture, her dressing, or the smirk of arrogance on her lips everything seed so alluring. Though her features held so paled coldness, there was still a hint of warmth and kindness in her aged eyes.
Li Xue has called those dark onyx eyes as aged, not because it was surrounded with wrinkles rather because the sharpness she could see in it. That sharpness was not sothing out of wealth rather it was sothing that can be bet to co from hard-earned experiences.
"Ma'am, we are already saying that the dessert you are asking for is not in our nu list and we can't just take your demands, just because you say you are our old custor. Even if you are, we can only help you get so discount on the desserts we have with us but we can't just go to so hassle and prepare sothing out of our nu list for you". Ning iling said with exasperation.
Though Chef Ning was making it look like a simple issue of custor dissatisfaction, Li Xue could feel that the things were not as simple as they were being portrayed. The hidden hint of fear and panic in Ning iling's tone was not letting her accept the things the way they were presented.
And all her instincts were proven to be true when she saw the lady turning her eyes to look more directly towards Ning iling. Her lips tilted a little at the side to form a disdainful expression directed to the person who was talking to her.
"Discount on desserts? If I can still afford to co here, then do you think I would not be capable enough to afford these sweets? Really? Has it only being aged or has it been this dessert brand who has aged so much that it has almost forgotten the tagline with which it had started?"
The woman said. The impeccable smile of hers simply not leaving her lips. Her eyes darted to look at the na badge stuck on the won's chef coat.
"Chef Ning, right? Being able to co forward to handle your custor's dissatisfaction, you must be titled as one of the Head Chef or so other high titled chef of this shop. That ans you should be the one more familiar with the brand's motive and inspiration than any other staff working here. So care to remind that tagline again.".
The other people and custor's gossips were filling the air. That situation can easily make anyone's temper rise and tough composure lose. Maybe that was the only intention of the woman custor. To test sothing by bringing the worst into the picture.
"Ma'am, you are just making it tough for us. We already said …", Ning iling was not extraordinary. She was just on the verge of losing both her composure and control. Her palms had already started to beco clammy but this very custor was only becoming tough and tougher to handle.
Just as she reached at the end of patience, a pretty confident voice lood from behind. "Sweet Delicacy – Joining desserts with emotions!"
The woman custor's attention instantly moved to look at the source of the voice. For an instant, a soft shine of twinkling stars in the dark night crossed the woman's eyes which definitely was noticed by Li Xue too.
But before Li Xue could confirm it, it vanished in a way like it has never existed.
Was that just her illusion? Li Xue thought as she took her steps closer to them. Her eyes turned to look at Ning iling, giving her a supporting nod. And to her very surprise, it was the first ti that the woman accepted to take her help and support so willingly.
Li Xue wanted to clap her hands in appreciation but the situation at which they were present was simply not allowing her to do sothing like that.
"Sorry for the interruption, Ma'am. But you have asked about our brand's tagline. So that was the inspirational quote with which the foundation of our chain was laid" Li Xue said again, turning her attention back at the custor in front.
The woman custor smiled at her confident tone and then said, "Finally, I can say that the Sweet Delicacy still has soone who rembers the initial motive behind its establishnt. But does it still follow the sa attitude with which it had begun long years ago?" Though her words seed like a little taunt, her expressions were saying otherwise. Sothing like …
Bowing with so professional politeness, Li Xue said with tranquillity in her tone, "Sorry for your dissatisfaction Ma'am. But our brand is still the sa. It still believes in joining desserts with the emotions of our custors. But your requests seed to be a little tough at this mont for us to attend as you can see that you are not just the only custor we have to look after at this mont and we are running a little less in staff."
"If only you have chosen sothing easy from our given list then it won't have been this hard. But definitely, you are one of our important custors too, given to how long your support has been with us. We just need your ti and patience. We will see how best we can satisfy your order"
Li Xue said, being oblivious to coming challenges in her way. But she soon realized it when caught the expression on Ning iling's face getting all paled. She was sure that her words weren't that flawed. Didn't she just make so efforts to ease the custor?
Then why was Chef Ning giving her stare like she auctioned Sweet delicacy without asking anyone's permission?
That's when she heard Mia's words from behind. It was just so re whisper to her ears. "Li Xue, you worsened the things. We shouldn't have accepted her order. This custor has ordered sothing that none of us knows how to bake. They say that it's so long lost forgotten dessert".
