After greeting the Executive Chief, Li Xue went to look for her working station. "Li Xue, are you telling the truth? That handsome from before … will he really be working in our team?" Mia was super excited, knowing the inclusion of Chen Yujian in their team. There was no doubt that her young heart was already under the charming spell of the Yujian's dashing looks.
Seeing her so excited, Li Xue could not help but shake her head in nothingness. "That's enough Mia! I have already repeated that answer for almost 3 times now. Do you want me to write to you for confirmation?" She asked not knowing why the girl was getting so excited over that super unreasonable intern.
Giving a sheepish smile on her lips, Mia said "Hehe … there is no need for that. I am just not able to believe that from now on I will be working with such a handsome guy by my side every day. I am just not able to believe it. But why are you not excited about it? Have you not seen him clearly yet? He looks just like some prince down in the town".
As her words got completed, her steps that were moving around with Li Xue halted and her eyes again went to dream the fantasy land she had built from the moment she saw Chen Yujian.
Li Xue did not care to bother anymore with her. Moving her fingers over the counter and the culinary instruments, her eyes filled with delight. Every instrument had her name carved over it in beautiful fonts. "Just beautiful. I really like …" Before she could even complete her words Mia jumped up with joy.
"Exactly! I knew you would have also fallen for his charms. He looks so good and charming", she said, as she held her chin over her clasped hands. At this time, she looked like a perfect example of a fangirl who loves to live in the dreams of her K-pop idol.
At her words, Li Xue got confused. "Huh? I was talking about these beautiful instruments. They looked beautiful. And you … about whom are you referring here". She said, still looking delightfully at her tools. Same as doctors love to wear their coats, chefs love to have the instruments carved with their name. It provides them with the satisfaction of achievements for which they worked hard.
"Li Xueee! How can you be so ignorant about the surrounding? I know these instruments look beautiful but it's not the same. I was talking about Prince Yujian. How could his beauty be compared to these mere things?" she said, sighing in disappointment.
"…" Li Xue was speechless. Shaking her head in denial, she simply said "His beauty? From which angle, dear?" She said, not noticing the girl's eyes getting wide. "I have seen better than him!" she quoted her concluding sentence.
Hearing her words, the realization of the missing element hit Mia. Of course, she knew what it meant by the phrase 'seen better than him'. She can't doubt that phrase. How can she when she herself has seen about which better the conversation was going on?
President Feng! Definitely, there is no way any man could match his charms in the country. There was no lie in Li Xue's words. If a woman has someone like President Feng as her boyfriend, then there was no chance that the charms of other men could work on them.
"Ahh! Li Xue, I am really sorry. I almost forgot. How can you feel your stomach fluttering for someone else if the one in your life is the best in this world? Sorry, I almost forgot who your boyfriend is!" Mia said, regretting her words from before. She prayed for forgiveness continuously in her heart, regretting the sin and the dangerous consequences it could bring to her.
On her mention of her boyfriend's name, Li Xue also trailed back in her memories. She can't deny the words of Mia, even if she wants. The glamour of Mr Beelzebub was surely sui generis. Even after trying their best no one can rival his excellence both in looks and talents.
When they were lost in their own thoughts no one realized the appearing footsteps from behind. A small confident chuckle brought the two ladies back to reality. "Is her boyfriend that capable and attractive to beat my charms?" came the voice from behind.
Li Xue and Mia, both turned to look. It was none other than Chen Yujian. He has come all prepared as his Supervisor-in-chief has wanted him to come. Dressed in formal chef buttoned white full-sleeved white coat and black pants with a waist apron wrapped around, he was nowhere lacking in attractiveness, yet the woman he wanted to impress wasn't interested to spare any glance at him.
Looking at his perfect body-accentuating in the formal chef attire, Mia's heart was thumping inside, making her word dictionary go blank. Taking his steps further ahead to the two ladies, Chen Yujian asked again, "So Xena, you have such a capable boyfriend in your life?".
Scratching her eyebrows lightly to show her irritation, Li Xue said with a boring smile. "Just started and you are already going back on your words! Do you even think that you are capable of being compared with anyone? Control your gossiping nature and start your day. Go and check what's set in today's menu?" she ordered.
Chen Yujian felt disappointed inside. But then after assuming something on his own, his lips curled up with rapture. "Chef, you don't seem to be confident in him. Is he really capable or are you just boasting him up falsely in front of your juniors?" his voice had a hint of mockery in it which undoubtedly irked Li Xue to her core.
She felt like someone had looked down on something precious to her heart. An intent to give him a perfect answer for his words surfaced her heart. She was about to say something to him but before she could say anything her phone rang in her hand. Looking at the number, she was a little confused.
"Mia, I will take this call. Help this Chen Yujian to know his work. I don't want my team to be slacking off during the work hours", saying this she moved away to receive the call.
The moment the call was connected, a voice filled with depression and agony came. "Sister-in-law, please save us. I beg you to save us, please!!!!!!!" Li Xue was taken aback by those words.
