Chapter 567: Expression of Interest

-You can call and ask your boss. Two thousand an hour, we'll rent it for an hour if we can. Don't worry, I just want to do something light for my father-in-law. It's too far from home to go back.

Mariana looked at the sales clerk in front of her and could see at a glance what the other woman was thinking.

She is also in the restaurant business, so she is well aware of the taboos that exist.

Other people's rules can't be broken, but she's not going to use them without compensation.

If that means being willing to go for the use of her back kitchen, then she will be compensated accordingly.

-You... you're Mariana?

Suddenly, in the kitchen frying, she recognizes Mariana, a very famous actress in show business.

After so long without seeing her, suddenly the news of her marriage to the president of the Durán Group broke. So it was quite a surprise for these fans as well. Meanwhile Xavier by her side was a bit unbalanced, after all, they were both in the entertainment industry. Why would Mariana be more recognized than him? -The movie star...

However, what happened next did not surprise Xavier at all.

After all, he has accumulated a lot of popularity, so it is not surprising that he was also recognized.

-Do you need an autograph? -Xavier asked proactively, looking at the line of people behind him.

Mariana looked at the man next to her, feeling that the other was blocking her vision.

How many bad things had she done in her last life to be trapped with Xavier in this one.

-Thank you.

-Can we take a picture together?

On the rare occasion I ran into a Xavier fan, he'd ask for a picture.

Xavier tries to do whatever his fans ask, after all, he probably won't be in the entertainment industry anymore. He is grateful for the support he has received from these fans. Mariana got permission to use the kitchen after the sales clerk called back.

She was short on time and went to the kitchen of a nearby restaurant to save time.

-Thank you for your support...

Xavier still has the same professional attributes as before, thanking each and every one of his supporters and friends. He is very grateful for the time he spends with these people. -Could you not block the door? I want to do the dishes," Mariana had to look at Xavier and spoke coldly.

She had just wanted to lay low, cook a dish and go straight back to the hospital, but she ended up in this mess with Xavier.

-Then I'm with you.

When Xavier had signed the last one, he stepped back, ready to enter the kitchen and close the door behind him.

Mariana saw that the man wanted to go in, and though her heart refused to do so, it was better than having a mess of people at the door taking pictures.

-Don't rush, everyone, don't panic, I have business to attend to now. I'll sign them one by one when I'm done, okay? -Xavier calmed the fans down.

-Yes!

With the arrival of Xavier and Mariana, the restaurant business has also been booming for a while. The staff saw this phenomenon and realized that celebrities are really a draw. No wonder celebrities charge so much, it all adds up thanks to their popularity.

When Xavier entered the kitchen, he saw that Mariana was already preparing the food.

There are two kitchens in this house, one that leads directly outside the restaurant to the window right in front of the restaurant and the other is the back kitchen.

To make room for Mariana, the cook and the waiters have been moved to the kitchen in front of the window.

-You're quite an attraction, taking in so many people after such a short time," Mariana glanced around as the man spoke softly.

Xavier felt so innocent that Mariana was clearly wrong about him.

It was clear that it was this woman he recognized at first. But really, with Mariana, Xavier was simply a better actor.

-What are you going to do? -Xavier was suddenly surprised to see how Mariana was cutting vegetables with dexterity.

After three years without seeing her, not only has he acquired a more rigid character than before, but he has also gained a lot of life experience.

During all that time, Mariana had no idea what had happened.

-Winter melon soup and pork rib," Mariana looked at him and said faintly.

Mariana then threw a piece of rib from the pile directly at Xavier.

-Help me cut it into smaller pieces, you'll be a little stronger by comparison.

Anyway, it was Xavier himself who was going to have to come and help, so we couldn't let Xavier stand by and watch and do nothing.

It would be a waste of this free labor.

-Cut into small pieces? How small? -Xavier asked the woman rhetorically, looking at the ribs in the basin.

It's not hard to cut, but he's not a great cook. Or abroad it's basically steak, bread and milk, other than that Chinese food is basically unseen.

At best, it's a pasta meal.

-As you wish," said Mariana lightly and set about to start other preparations.

It's true that it doesn't take a lot of time to cook a meal if you're skilled at it. But if you want it to be good, you have to be very picky about spices and so on.

Hot pot, in particular, is a very simple meal, but there's actually a lot to learn from the bottom of the pot.

Bang!

Mariana had been preparing these shredded pork leanlings when a rumbling sound reached her ears. It was one of Xavier's ribs, and it was making it sound like he was tearing down a house. Mariana was a little speechless, this man sure was used to being pampered at home.

-Is it hard? -Mariana asked, looking at the man in front of her and opening her mouth.

It took Xavier five minutes to cut the ribs in half, just as they were on the cutting board.

-Leave it there if you replace it difficult, I'll be right over to take care of it -Mariana saw the expected image and was not surprised to see it.

Xavier felt humiliated and resisted putting Mariana down.

At least he was a man, how could he allow a woman to do something like that?

-Come over here and peel my skin and wash the vegetables for me, will you? -Mariana looked at the man and opened her mouth to take a step back.

Xavier used to be an idle man with endless projects. Why had he become so idle now?

-It's okay, I think that work is very important too," Xavier gave up immediately, not wanting to fight with the ribs anymore.

Handing the paring knife in her hand to Xavier, Mariana changed to take it to the cutting board.

She probably looked at the hardness of the knife, then compared it to the ribs and gave a slash, fast and hard.

-How many ribs have you cut in the last three years?

Xavier contemplated the woman's incredible behavior and didn't think about what Mariana could do.
