Chapter 486: Will You Come With Me
Jasper Sinclair noticed Nora Northwood’s thoughts and ideas. While Mrs. Sommers and the chef were conversing, he quietly explained to her, "The Sutton Family mainly deals in tourism and transportation, dabbling in gray areas. That’s why Mrs. Sommers enjoys organizing charity events as a way of doing good."
"So that’s how it is."
After Mrs. Sommers and the chef finished their discussion, they introduced themselves.
"Mrs. Sinclair, I am today’s chef, Shane Hamilton. It’s a pleasure to meet you."
The chef’s Mandarin wasn’t very standard, with some Cantonese mixed in. Nora recalled the dish ’Three Shreds Roll’ and had an idea.
She extended her hand and responded, "I am Nora Northwood, the founder and current head of VK Aromatics. I admire your culinary skills and would like to invite you to join my team."
She was straightforward, without any unnecessary elaboration.
Shane misunderstood her true meaning and joked, "Wow! Hiring chefs externally, a team with a boss like you is really fortunate!"
"I think you misunderstood my intention. I’m inviting you to join my perfumery team as my brand designer."
This time, it wasn’t just Shane who was bewildered; even Mrs. Sommers standing nearby was stunned.
OMG! A chef changing careers to become a perfumer? Did their ears deceive them?
Seeing their shocked expressions, Nora further explained the reason behind her decision, "I’ve tasted every dish today, and you have precise control over the proportions of spices and seasonings, even in the management of heat and timing."
At this point, she paused, took out a business card from her handbag, and handed it over. "This is my business card. Perfumery and cooking have similar principles. I hope you’ll consider it carefully. I believe you will be an excellent perfumer."
By the end, Shane was somewhat swayed. He didn’t want to be confined to a kitchen filled with smoke, but he had never thought of venturing into a completely different industry.
Seeing his hesitation, Nora subtly said, "You don’t have to give me an answer now. You can think it over for a few days and contact me anytime you have an idea. The address of VK is on the back of the card, and you can visit if you have time."
Shane flipped the card over, and sure enough, the address was on the back.
The delicate card was stained with a bit of grease, like some kind of combination. He replied, "It’s quite a big change. I’ll give you an answer within three days."
"Okay, I’ll be waiting for your news at VK." She smiled sweetly.
After a few more exchanges, they returned to the main venue for a meal. It was time for "paying the bill."
By paying the bill, it meant donations.
The donation area had different projects set up, ranging from left-behind children in impoverished regions to oases in the desert.
Nora picked up a blank donation card, selected a few projects, and handed it to Jasper Sinclair, "These ones then."
Jasper glanced over it, donating ten million to each project. With just a blink, fifty million was gone.
Nora swallowed, marveling at his wealth.
After thinking for a while, she took another card, checked the box for a library project at a certain primary school, and donated fifty thousand.
For others’ donations, it might be a drop in the ocean.
However, this was one-fifth of Nora’s available funds, considered a bit extravagant.
At the end, she signed her name elegantly, her handwriting as graceful as her character.
Suddenly, a light laugh came from above. Jasper Sinclair said, "It seems VK’s profit situation is quite good."
