-Elora carefully examined Tatum’s information.
Tatum’s details were straightforward. He had two brothers and both parents were retired. The eldest brother was married, and the family was harmonious. Tatum had started his own business and experienced some success. He had a passion for cooking since childhood, and despite being a young boss, he still enjoyed cooking.
The information did not reveal that he was the sixth young master of the York family, which Elora’s secretary may not have been able to uncover.
It was also possible that Zachary had manipulated information in Wiltspoon, ensuring that Elora’s team could only access basic details about Tatum.
This deliberate concealment of Tatum’s identity as the sixth young master of the York family was likely intended to prevent Elora from being intimidated by his status and deter her from rejecting him.
Nonetheless, Tatum had started a business and achieved some small successes. Zachary did not hide this from his younger brother; he always showcased Tatum’s small skills to ensure Elora did not look down on him for being “too poor.”
He was also concerned that the elders of the Ormond family might disapprove of Tatum due to his perceived inadequacies. Not all affluent families were like the York family, which prioritized character and demeanor.
Although the York family valued character and temperament, the matriarch assisted her grandchildren in choosing wives, and none of them came from poor backgrounds. All the granddaughters-in-law had respectable backgrounds, making them suitable matches for the York family.
Elora did not respond verbally but handed the paper to Tinsley for review.
Tinsley took the paper, read it once, then set it down and smiled, saying, “He has started his own business and opened several restaurants.
The business is doing well, so why does he decide to apply for a chef position? The salary offered by our family is decent and shouldn’t be less than what he currently makes.
After a brief pause, Elora suggested, “Perhaps he’s heard about my picky eating habits, and he sees this as a challenge to prove himself as a chef.”
Elora knew that Tatum had a passion for cooking since childhood. Despite his youth, he had been honing his culinary skills for over ten years, and she believed he was quite talented.
Tatum’s decision to travel such a distance for the exam likely stemmed from her discerning palate; any chef she endorsed must possess considerable skill.
For Tatum, becoming a chef was an exciting challenge.
Tinsley smiled and replied, “That’s certainly a possibility.”
“He’s been passionate about cooking since he was a kid, and he might be a bit obsessed with it.”
Tinsley added eagerly, “Sister, if Tatum passes the exam, you must tell Uncle Joly that I’ll be dining at your house regularly.”
Elora responded, “You want to eat, but when will you stop sharing? Just remember, if you come over to eat, you’ll need to keep exercising to avoid gaining weight again. I don’t have the time to help you with your workouts.”
Tinsley sighed, “Forget it; I’ll just visit occasionally for a meal. The days spent trying to lose weight are dreadful. After experiencing that once, I have no desire to go through it again.”
Whenever Tinsley thought about enjoying food, she struggled to manage her weight and gradually found herself gaining.
Elora then insisted that she lose weight by controlling her diet and exercising daily, which left Tinsley exhausted.
It took her six months to successfully shed the excess weight. At the beginning, if she ever indulged, Elora would remind her to watch her portions and stay active to avoid becoming overweight again.

Elora carelessly shoved Tatum’s information into the drawer and told Tinsley, “Go back and get your work done.”
“Alright, eldest sister, I’ll return to my work now, and we can go home together later.”
Tinsley recognized that Elora wouldn’t leave too early, so she headed back to her office without hesitation.
…
At 4:30 PM, Evan hurried to the York Corporation to wait for Zachary to finish work so they could head to the Wiltspoon Hotel together.
In Zachary’s office, he found Serenity and Sonny, who had arrived five minutes before him.
“Sister-in-law,” Evan said respectfully.
Serenity responded with a hum.
“Fourth uncle,” Sonny greeted sweetly.
