Touchofadom (2014)
“Luc, just back from a visit to his mother in Antibes, was in a chatty mood and lingered over dinner just when a quick meal would have suited admirably. True, he saw Adele repeatedly during the meal as she brought in dish after dish but the conversation he wanted wasn’t one he planned on having in front of Luc and Helen.
And to crown it all, Adele was deliberately avoiding him.
When he’d tried to catch her the minute he realized she was back, she’d as good as thrown him out of the kitchen, telli...ng him she was not going to let him ruin the first meal she prepared for her new employer.
She scored there. Luc was duly impressed with the veal Marengo and the onion tarts that had started the meal and the fondant au chocolat was suitably mouthwatering. Not that Adele’s prowess in the kitchen was foremost in Branko’s mind.
He was darn well holding her to talking to him after dinner if he had to corner her in the pantry to do it.
Once dinner was over and Adele brought in their espressos, Luc praised the meal, welcomed her to Les Santons and told her she wouldn’t be needed any more that night.MoreLess
