Rob Li Private Chef Novels & Stories

But fuck… It was worth it. “Find out The Chef’s base. We are paying him a visit tomorrow.” I barked at Kaito who was still facing the dining room. “Already did. He owns a restaurant in Worthing. Specializes in fish dishes. He became famous after he caught his underboss selling him to his enemies, then chopped him into pieces and cooked him, before serving the said enemies food made out of his flesh. Apparently, that shook the entire underworld.” And I was not even aware of it.

“We’re eating air tonight, right?” His smile widens. “Seasoned air. The chef’s specialty.” “Oh, good. I was worried it might be too flavourful.” Liam laughs, low and warm. “I told you — I got this.” I roll my eyes but I’m already melting. I should be annoyed. But honestly? I’ve never felt more spoiled, more seen, or more absurdly, ridiculously taken care of. And the worst part? I kind of love it.

Then, Noah lovingly served Tegan some food, "Try the pork rib. It’s the chef’s specialty." Tegan lowered her head and took a small bite. “The taste is quite good,” she said softly. Noah leaned back in his chair and continued the conversation casually, “Lorian likes this dish too. By the way, I also invited him to join us today.” Tegan visibly tensed. Was Lorian coming too? At that moment, the sound of leather shoes tapping on the floor echoed behind her. The familiar footsteps belonged to none other than her soon-to-be ex-husband—Lorian.

She scoops a massive, butter-drenched lobster tail and drops it directly onto my empty plate. Lyria is watching me with an expression of hopeful generosity. “I made that one myself,” she says, “I asked the kitchen staff what everyone’s preferences were and I wanted to do something special. I hope you like it.” Does she hate me that much?

he said casually, spearing a piece of steak with his fork. “It was productive,” I said quickly, maybe too quickly. “That’s what matters.” “Of course,” he said, though there was a faint hint of curiosity now. “Still, I’m glad you had someone you could trust out there, Layla.” I smiled. “So am I.” Liam cleared his throat quietly, reaching for his glass. “Your chef hasn’t lost his touch, by the way,” he said, smoothly changing the subject. Adrian grinned. “Don’t tell him that.. he already thinks he’s the best in the country.”

She also took amazing notes and was able to organize the information so it only took a half hour or so once Troi arrived to get them up to speed with the more day-to-day information. Bo’s party was planned for Saturday and the birthday boy could not be more excited. Rich had managed to get his uncle, an award-winning restaurant owner and Chef who lived in Los Angeles, to move up a visit he was planning a few weeks later. He was going to hold a cooking class for everyone at lunch and after they ate, Bo was going to have a private lesson from him that afternoon. Bo didn’t tell anyone what he had requested for the topic, but did make sure they were all going to come back that evening to enjoy t

I ask. “How do you know it was last minute?” he asks in response, a smirk forming on his face. He pours me another glass of wine and says no more. Liam’s taken to playing an imaginary violin at the table, which apparently appears more interesting than the food in front of him. The chef again comes in with the main course. It’s white tuna poached in olive oil. It must be his signature dish because he waits as we take our first bites. With my mouth full, I nod in agreement with Jacob when he says he’s outdone himself.

“I raised you better than that. I hope you don’t do that in public.” Jeff rolled his eyes and obliged. “Of course not. Wouldn’t want anyone to think I’m a monster.” “Exactly!” Sarcasm never was her strong suit. He held back a retort. Lori turned back to the stove. “So, you had a good day then?” “It was okay.” Jeff brushed salt granules off the table, then threw some over his shoulder for luck. What could it hurt, right? “What’s for dinner?” “Aloo Gobi.” She added fresh chopped tomatoes, using her wooden spoon to burst them in the pan.

Chris asked, walking over to Robin’s side where he sat. Robin stared down at his hands. “Well….”. “No need to lie to me. Tell me the truth.” Robin nodded. “Yes, I didn’t eat anything yet.” “I knew it, what do you want to eat?”. “Um….pasta with prawns…. With chili sauce.” “And what about you?”. Chris looked at Noir. “Um…whatever he’s having.” She sat right next to him. “Alright then. Have something to drink while we cook for you.”

Amberleigh sat on a stool at the counter and chatted with Leo as he cooked up her lunch. And it smelled fucking amazing. He didn’t use premade dough, no he made it from scratch, and even hand tossed that shit. She clapped and was tempted to throw tips at him. She wondered how a rich boy from a wealthy family had ended up as the private chef to the Godwin. Surely, Leo didn’t need the money, so maybe he did it because he loved cooking and he liked to hang with Grayson. It was clear Grayson seemed like a different person, less formal and filtered, around Leo. Perhaps Leo brought out the best of the billionaire, or at least brought him back down to Earth occasionally.
