そんな中、厨房はまさに戦場と化していた。
換気扇が回る低い音が響く中、四基のコンロからは青い炎が絶え間なく上がる。 フライパンの中で油が弾ける音が絶えず鳴り響いていた。「前菜、3番テーブルと5番テーブル、同時にアップして!」
佐伯春菜(さえき・はるな)はテキパキとした動作で、部下たちに指示を飛ばしていた。
「はい、すぐに出せます!」
「メインの肉、火入れはあと1分。ソースの仕上げ急いでください。付け合わせの野菜は上がってる?」
「上がってます! アスパラガスのソテー、少し色がついちゃいましたけど大丈夫ですか?」
「色? 見せて」
春菜は、アシスタントの若手スタッフが差し出したフライパンを覗き込んだ。
不安そうなスタッフを安心させるように微笑んでみせる。「これくらいなら許容範囲。でも次はもう少し早めに上げてくださいね。余熱で火が入るから」
「すみません、気をつけます」
スタッフたちの声が飛び交う中、副料理長である春菜は、3つのフライパンを同時に操りながら全体の進行を管理していた。
彼女の視線は手元の食材だけでなく、厨房全体の動きを的確に捉えている。指示を飛ばしつつ、手元の真鯛のポワレに白ワインを回しかける。
アルコールが飛ぶ一瞬の香りを確かめて、すぐに火から下ろした。その絶妙なタイミングに、周囲のスタッフから思わずため息が漏れる。
「さすが春菜さん。素晴らしいタイミングです」
「褒めても何も出ませんよ」
春菜は少し照れたように笑った。
と。
そこに、ホールスタッフが飛び込んできた。ひどく慌てた様子である。
「春菜さん! VIP席の九条様から特別オーダーが入りました!」
春菜はフライパンを保温スペースに移しながら、眉を寄せた。
「特別オーダー? コースのアレルギー変更なら事前に聞いてるけど。何か追加ですか?」
「違います。その、『私の舌を驚かせる、今まで食べたことのない一皿を出して』と」
その言葉を聞いて、春菜は作業の手を少しだけ止めた。
九条梨沙(くじょう・りさ)。九条不動産の社長令嬢であり、春菜の高校時代からの親友だ。 この店のオープン当初からひいきにしてくれている常連でもある。(また梨沙の気まぐれか。相変わらずね)
春菜は苦笑した。
梨沙は昔から無茶な要求をして、周りを振り回すところがある。 けれど親友の要求に応えるのは、料理人としての腕の見せ所でもあった。彼女を心から喜ばせたい。「分かりました。梨沙さんには15分ほどお時間をいただくように伝えて」
「えっ、受けるんですか? 今、オーダー詰まってますけど」
「大丈夫。他の料理は止めませんから。最高のものを出すから、ワインのおかわりでも勧めて繋いでおいて」
「はい! よろしくお願いします!」
ホールスタッフが足早にホールへ戻っていく。
春菜は頭の中で素早く冷蔵庫の在庫を検索し、食材を組み立てていった。
今まで食べたことのない一皿。
奇をてらうのではなく、極上の素材を最高の火入れで提供する。(今日入荷したばかりの伊勢海老、北海道産のホタテもある。それを使おう)
春菜はすぐに作るべき料理の構成を決めた。アシスタントに声をかける。
「田中くん、伊勢海老とホタテを出して。あとサフランと生クリーム、それからベルモット酒」
「了解です! 特別オーダーですね」
スタッフの田中が冷蔵庫から素早く食材を取り出してくる。
春菜は専用のまな板を取り出して、伊勢海老の殻を素早く剥いた。
包丁がまな板を叩く音が、規則正しいリズムを刻む。「田中くん、隣のコンロ空けてくださいね。エビの殻を炒めるから」
「はい、空けました!」
「ソースは甲殻類の出汁をベースに、サフランで香りと色をつけます」
頭の中で工程を確認しながら、鍋でエビの殻と香味野菜を炒め始める。
香ばしい匂いが立ち上ってきた。(それにしても、毎日よく回ってるよね、この店)
春菜は火加減を調整しながら、ふと思った。
My son was sleeping in my lap. My precious little world. I gave him kisses. He was so tiny. My other angel was already asleep in the car. She was truly a goddess blessed for me. She decided to move in with me. I brought a big house for her parents beside my house. In a few years, I will be declared the alpha. While in the meantime, I wanted to spend time with my mate and my son.She was my angel. I will never hurt her again. I promised to give her a better life. Maria POV My life has turned into a fairy tale since he came back to me. I was already in love with him. But a big misunderstanding broke us apart. I always wished he wasn't responsible for everything that happened in the college. I was in heaven when my wish came true. Nancy and Aaron were happy in their world. Nancy went with Aaron. But we always kept our touch. I soon found out she was 1 month pregnant. I was so happy for them. I moved in
He knew I was screaming inside and outside thinking about my mate. But why does he hide from me?. Maybe he thought I don't deserve an angel like her. I was the devil indeed. I ruined her mentally and physically. But I needed a second chance to correct everything I had done for her. She deserved a better life and I can give her that life."Did she tell you this? She doesn't want to with me right?" my body was shivering.He sighed. " I send you the letter. I always found her looking at infinity. Lost in her world. I knew deep inside she wants to be with you. Everything that is happening now is a very big misunderstanding. I knew you are innocent. You need to talk with her. Your son needed his father."He tapped on my shoulder. Everyone seemed relieved. They were finally able to meet her.While we were talking, her parents came to greet us. It seems like Dr. Robert already discussed the plan of uniting us with her parents.But deep inside I was nervou
Mike POV It had been days since she left the town. I was devastated. I was destroyed and depressed. I searched her everywhere. Every fucking corner of the city but she was gone. I remembered the day of that party. That bitch Amanda was responsible for 50 percent of the problems that happened here. The rest 50 was mine. If I wasn't the biggest jerk around here she would still be here. She would be here with me, hugging me, holding hands with me. I waited for her at the party. I was the happiest person in the world. I knew she was in love. I could tell that from the way she looked at me. I was lost in a dream world. I was interrupted by my thoughts from the sound of my mobile phone. It was a call from my beta. I walked to an empty classroom and took my call. We talked for several minutes. I was not aware of the presence behind me until I heard a noise. It was Amanda. She was standing in front of me. Before I could open my mouth to speak, she grabbed
"Dr. Roberts came here and told us everything. It's alright. Everything will be fine." She said between her sobs."We won't hit or scold you, honey. It was not your fault." Dad said to me. He looked somewhat relieved to see me. I was gone for so long. It was almost 6 pm.We decided to leave early in the morning. I packed all the important stuff. The doctor said he would arrange a cab for us. He decided to come and arrange a place for us. He still had some business remaining in this city. He would deal with all so that he would come live with us. I paced through my room thinking about whether I must tell Mike about it. But I finally decided to drop the idea.I wrote a letter to Nancy. I asked my neighbor lady to give it to her. I don't want to hurt her. If she knew I was going to leave then she definitely wouldn't let me go.We started our journey through the quiet road. It was almost 6 am and the morning mist made me hug myself. My mom offered me a sweate

The day of the party came. Our exams went smoothly. I did very well more than I thought I could. Aaron invited Nancy to the party. So she and I went shopping. We wanted to look good for the party."So let's rock." Nancy jumped on the bed as soon as we came into my room.I giggled look
My mind had gone somewhere since he came into my room. I was confused. I felt those sparks like he told me. Even if he was my mate, I was still afraid of him. He always had that cold and dark vibe that sent shivers down my spine.I sat in the garden waiting for Aaron. He said his soccer pra
Mike POVI leaned towards a wall and watched Maria and that idiot Aaron talking and laughing at a distance. I wanted to go and rip him into pieces. I needed her to come back to me. She wasn't with me for her to come back to me. But she always belonged to me. I decided to talk w
