Securing A Connection

"Yes, I used the secret recipe to make the cupcakes," admitted Lucas, suppressing his confusion, "If I may ask, do you like the cake, Mrs. Feng?"

Did Mrs. Feng be charmed by the spiced sweet potato cake so much that she had yet to forget about it?

She did ask him about it once before when they met inside Mr. Jin's office, his mentor and lecturer at Dewsbury Culinary Insitute.

Mrs. Feng didn't immediately reply to Lucas' question. Her gaze on the young man was indecipherable. Only she knew what kind of thoughts were fleeting in her mind right at this time.

"You weren't Mrs. Feng's student, right?" Mr. Luo chimed in, seemingly to ease the awkwardness between the two people.

Looking at Lucas, he said again, "Have you heard that Mrs. Feng's husband owns a chain of bakeries? Their brand has been well received by consumers since the beginning."
