Chapter 915 A Familiar Taste
After uttering those words, she staggered and placed the tray on the table. “Enjoy your meal.”
As Cherise observed the woman walking away, she felt a sense of unease creeping into her heart. “I can’t believe her husband is still forcing her to work in her current condition...”
“| forced her to work,” Sebastian said with a faint smile. She placed a drumstick on Cherise’s plate and continued, “I want the drumstick to taste like it did back then. | want everything to be just as it was years ago.”
Cherise’s eyes widened in shock. “You...?” “Mm.” Sebastian glanced at her. “Don’t worry. | compensated her generously. She agreed.”
Cherise gripped her utensils tightly, anger rising within her. As a doctor, she could tell that the woman was in pain while she walked, and her smile was strained. Despite her obvious discomfort, Sebastian had the woman serve him simply for the sake of recreating a moment from years ago. How absurd!
“Even if it hurts, she must bear with it for the money,” Sebastian remarked as he savored the drumstick. “There are many people like her in this world. They claim they can’t or won't do something, but they'll comply once offered sufficient benefits.” With that, he looked up at Cherise. “Cherise, don’t you agree?”
Cherise met Sebastian’s smile, a chill running down her spine. She sensed ridicule in his gaze towards her. He... must have already deduced that she also attended the banquet today for Lenoir Group’s sake.
Taking a deep breath, she composed herself and began eating the drumstick. It did indeed taste like it used to back then. However, having eaten drumsticks prepared by New World Restaurant's renowned chef and Damien’s improved version, she found the old flavor less appealing. Though it was a familiar taste she once enjoyed, she didn’t necessarily desire what she liked in the past. After a few bites, she set the drumstick down and reached for her coffee.
“| recall this drumstick used to be your favorite.” Sebastian frowned, observing her lack of appetite, “Has the flavor changed?”
Cherise pursed her lips and responded casually, “Perhaps it’s been too long...” She intended to say she couldn't recall the taste from before, but Sebastian frowned and turned to speak to the person beside him before she could finish. Shortly after, Sebastian’s bodyguard escorted a man in chef's attire from the kitchen. The man’s movements were hesitant, similar to the waitress from before.
“Mr. Weiss, | did my best...” Seeming fearful of Sebastian, the man knelt before him after being brought

Sebastian looked down calmly. “You shouldn't be apologizing to me but to the young lady.”
The chef swiftly turned to Cherise, bowing Bae siolelen es give me another e. I'll ensure it’s perfect this time!”
