Chapter 720: Just a challenge he must overcome
"Horrible" was an understatement to describe Penny’s cooking.
The food Penny prepared was inedible. It was not food. Everyone who took their first bite either hunched over or froze in horror. Each dish was either too bitter, too salty, too sweet, too spicy—or simply all of the above.
It reminded everyone of the saying, "Never judge a book by its cover." It applied perfectly to the food prepared by Penny.
Her cooking was traumatizing.
Meanwhile, Penny was all smiles, watching everyone tear up with each bite. She interpreted their reactions as a sign of good food. After all, she used to take big bites before swallowing whenever she enjoyed something.
"Hehe." She giggled, pleased that everyone was "enjoying" it, though she thought their tears were a little over the top. "Do you want more?"
Her question stopped everyone in their tracks, and she raised her brows as they all looked in her direction. Penny blinked and tilted her head, confused.
"Hmm?" she hummed, unaware of the growing fear and panic in their hearts.
All they could think was, hadn’t she noticed how they kept gulping down water with every bite? They couldn’t swallow her food without it.
They couldn’t bear another bite. Let alone have seconds.
Asking for seconds would be their undoing! But if they said anything, Penny might suspect something was wrong.
"I..." Benjamin trailed off as Penny suddenly felt a vibration in her apron pocket.
