77 Claypot Rice
“Wait a minute!”
She picked up her phone and freed herself from Christian. After finding an online app to order food, Ella immediately ordered three claypot rice.
Claypot rice is a food originating from South China and Southeast Asia, more precisely, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore.
Actually, Ella didn’t choose it. It’s the menu at the top, the recommended menu for the day. Incidentally, the rating of the restaurant was also quite good. She didn’t have much time so she rushed to order it.
“What are you doing with your phone?”
As soon as Christian wanted to see, Ella immediately covered the screen. “This is a surprise! I can’t tell you.”
Ella shows an obedient and submissive attitude towards Christian as if to say that she is truly sincere.
She is sure that if Christian found out that the surprise was claypot rice, the man would have kicked her out of the car right now.
Currently, the streets are busy and many cars pass by. She doesn’t want to have an accident and spend her time in the hospital.
.....
Besides, Ella hates doctors.
Christian didn’t force Ella to mention the surprise, but now it was Nathan’s turn to ask curiously. “Is the surprise something good?”
“You’ll find out later,” Ella said mysteriously.
Nathan tilted his head and looked hopeful. He was looking forward to the nice surprise! After that, he lowered his head and returned to focus on the snack on his lap.
They arrived at the company in a few minutes. Ella stood downstairs waiting for her food order, telling Christian and Nathan to go upstairs first.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe young man who delivered the food order was a little late. He looked around for the person who ordered it and found Ella who looked like she was waiting for something. “Miss, did you order this one? Three claypot rice?” He asked Ella.
“Yes. Thank You.”
After receiving the food, Ella wanted to leave immediately. But she heard the young man ask in surprise. “This is the first time I have delivered food to this company. Didn’t they say this company has a very complete canteen? I heard the canteen has various types of food from various countries.”
Ella felt the package in her hand become very, very heavy.
Various types of menus from various countries...
Does that mean, this company’s canteen also sells claypot rice?
If Christian has eaten claypot rice in his company cafeteria and it turns out that the claypot rice in her hand is not as good as the one he’s ever eaten, what will Christian do to her?
Ella is too scared to imagine the consequences she will get!
She turned and looked at the young man who had delivered her order. “Compared to cafeteria food, is this claypot rice more authentic?
After a moment of silence, the young man replied with one word, “I’m afraid not.”
How could the restaurant be more authentic than the chef at Adipamungkas company?
“I...” Ella looked doubtful for a moment and said, “Can I return the order?”
The young man looked at Ella and then immediately fled on his motorbike. He did not accept returns!
Ella was carrying three claypot rice in her hands and looked confused.
She stood in front of the CEO’s office, but didn’t dare go inside. She kept pacing in front of it, deciding what to do.
Should she take this food in or not? Or maybe, should she just throw it away?
Suddenly, Nathan came and met her.
“Good surprise!”
The fat boy could smell the food Ella brought.
The chef in his house is used to cooking Indonesian food and western food. He had never tried claypot rice before and he was so excited!
“That looks so delicious!”
Even though he had filled his stomach with various snacks, Nathan’s stomach was still not full. He immediately took his spoon and tasted the new, unfamiliar food.
“It’s delicious...” he said while chewing his food.
Ella felt a little relieved when she saw the boy.
If Nathan had never tried it, Christian should be the same, right?
Ella glanced at the man sitting at his desk and handed the claypot rice in front of him. “Try this one.”
“Is this the surprise you said?”
Christian’s lips looked pouty, making Ella feel even more panicked in her heart. She immediately had a bad feeling.
“You ordered me claypot rice?”
Ella stepped back, feeling sure that Christian would kick her out of here any time now.
“Have you eaten it before?”
Ella tried to calm herself down. She looked at the claypot rice that gave off a delicious aroma and said, “Different places will serve different tastes too. You could say this is your first time trying it.”
Christian didn’t say anything. He took the spoon and ate slowly.
Actually, he didn’t really like claypot rice. He had never tried this menu in his company’s canteen. But when he remembered that this was the food that Ella had bought, he didn’t want to throw it away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe even couldn’t refuse.
This woman had driven him insane!
Watching Christian eat it, Ella heaved a sigh of relief!
Luckily, Christian didn’t make matters any more difficult.
Just at that moment, Christian’s voice was heard. “Make me coffee.”
There were only three people in the room- Christian, Ella and Nathan. Of course Christian couldn’t possibly ask his son to make coffee.
Ella nodded and left the CEO’s office. She came down and asked for the way, and after a while she finally found the pantry and rushed inside.
Wherever annoying people existed, there would be trouble to follow.
When entering the pantry, Ella saw Laras. Her brows furrowed. It seemed she was really unlucky today. Why did she have to keep seeing this woman?
Before she said something, Laras reacted first when she saw Ella.
“You... It’s you again,” Laras had a professional smile on her face. But since that smile was for Ella, her face looked a little stiffer.
“Hmm...”
Ella nodded, but she didn’t intend to talk further with Laras.
She walked into the pantry, but found no instant coffee. She felt dizzy when she saw the various kinds of coffee beans on the table.
Christian must be doing this on purpose, right? She didn’t understand coffee at all. She also disliked coffee. How should she make it now?
Laras continued to look at Ella and saw her movements. After guessing that Ella was about to make coffee, she stepped forward and picked up a bottle of coffee beans.
After that, she smiled sweetly at Ella. “Miss, why are you so careless?” Her smile was so strange that it made Ella frown.
And again, she didn’t understand what Laras’ question meant.
However, before she could even think, Laras had already lifted the bottle and dropped it.
