Chapter 22: You ate them, did you?!
One of Penny’s habits was to take note of the chefs’ names or people who made the dishes she loved the most. Chef Skylar surely made it to the top of the list.
Taking the last bite carefully, Penny savored every last residue of it. It almost made her tear up when she finished.
She wanted more! A dozen wouldn’t be enough!
Seeing this, Hugo smiled kindly.
"Chef Skylar always keeps an extra pudding for me," Hugo said. "You can have it when you feel like it."
Penny’s eyes twinkled as she gazed up at her brother. She almost forgot he existed while eating.
"Should I ask someone to get it?" he asked.
Penny licked her lips, but then shook her head. "It’s okay. I’m full. Thank you."
But her eyes were screaming at him, "What are you waiting for?! Get it!"
So he asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Penny nodded profusely, even though her heart constricted for refusing. "It’s yours and Chef Skylar saved it for you. I can’t just eat it."
Hugo was on a strict diet because of his training. However, he would often reward himself with sweets. These puddings were his favorites, and Penny didn’t have the heart to eat his rewards. If it were Slater’s, she wouldn’t mind.
