-Tatum mentioned that he began cooking at a young age and has always had a strong passion for it.

Indeed, both talent and hobbies play a significant role in one’s success.

Tatum has entered the catering industry, and it appears that his business is thriving.

Fortunately, his establishment is located thousands of miles away in Wiltspoon, far enough that it won’t impact the Ormond family’s business.

If Tatum were closer, his formidable competition could have posed a serious threat to the Ormond family’s catering ventures.

“It’s very challenging to lose weight, yet so easy to gain it,” Elora remarked, glancing at the clock and realizing it was time to clock out. She turned off her computer and said to her sister, “You’re becoming more and more of a foodie.”

“If you could enjoy the most delicious food in the world every day, why not embrace being a foodie? Everyone needs to eat—who isn’t a foodie? Anyone who doesn’t indulge in food or drink isn’t a foodie at all,” Tinsley replied, also checking the time. “Joly and Tatum will be arriving soon.”

Elora doesn’t return for lunch at noon due to time constraints.

Occasionally, she visits her hotel for lunch. There’s a woman like Elora, who truly appreciates good food. The hotels owned by the Ormond family maintain strict culinary standards, yet Elora can’t dine there daily.

Elora manages to tolerate the meals prepared by the chefs at the five-star hotel. These chefs, having previously worked as private chefs for the Ormond family, are aware of her discerning tastes.

Whenever Elora wishes to dine at the hotel, her secretary notifies them three hours in advance to ensure preparations are made.

There’s no need to prepare an elaborate feast—just two or three dishes that Elora enjoys.

Upon receiving the notice, the hotel consults the chef, who has experience as a private chef for the Ormond family, to cook exclusively for Elora.

The chef privately commented that

Whenever he received such a notice, his scalp would tense up. It wasn’t until Elora left the hotel after dinner that the chef’s nerves could finally relax, benefiting not only him but also the hotel’s management. When Ormond’s family hired a new chef, Joly would often deliver food to Elora, saving her the trip to the hotel and alleviating some pressure from the establishment. Timing was crucial—if she arrived too early, she would still be at work, and if she arrived too late, the food would lose its freshly baked taste. Tatum noted that even when food is delivered quickly, those who appreciate good meals can tell the difference. To ensure Elora received fresh food, he prepared the ingredients in advance, then rushed to the company canteen to borrow kitchen utensils for cooking.

Elora was selective about her meals, but she didn’t require a large quantity; even one dish per meal would suffice to fill her. Tatum intentionally didn’t cook more than necessary; he prepared only three dishes and one soup for each meal, which was just enough for two people. He was aware that Tinsley could be opportunistic, and his future sister-in-law also needed to be appeased.

“Ring, ring, ring…” As soon as Tinsley finished speaking, the intercom on Elora’s desk rang. She activated the speakerphone.

“Miss, Tatum and I have brought food,” Joly announced, having already taken Tatum into the office building and calling Elora from the front desk’s internal phone.

“Come up; Tinsley and I are waiting,” Elora replied gently. She stood up, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and upon returning, she said to…

“Tinsley, don’t you wash your hands?”

Tinsley replied, “I washed my hands a while ago and was just waiting to eat. I’m not sure what Tatum cooked today, but his home-cooked meals are always delicious. I also wonder if he brought any snacks today. I really miss his snacks every afternoon if I don’t have them with my tea.”

Elora smiled and chose not to respond.
