Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 507: Don’t Call Me Cynthia Florine (2 Chapters Combined)

Iris Doone looked moved, “Not only was I eliminated this time, but I was also blamed for such a big issue at the end of the competition. My future work will be really difficult, so I’ll have to rely on you.”

“Don’t worry.” Blake Walker immediately promised.

“I think we still don’t know how Cindy Clarke’s shark fin got crushed. It’s also possible that the organizers originally bought poor quality shark fins, or the soaking method was wrong, and it got smashed. It’s also possible that the staff were careless afterward, ruining it, and Cindy Clarke put the blame on me,” said Iris Doone.

“In order to avoid blame, the organizers don’t want to expose their unprofessionalism, so they dumped the blame on me,” Iris Doone said.

“Keep your voice down,” Blake Walker quickly reminded, “Even though you’re not in the competition anymore, Pingla’s influence is not limited to the scope of the major competition.”

“Offending the organizers is nothing, but offending the organizers is tantamount to offending the Pingla Group behind them, which is really a great offense.” Blake Walker reminded.

Iris Doone sighed and said in a low voice with frustration, “Whether it’s offending or not, what’s the difference? Anyway, Adrian Zhekova said that I can’t work in any restaurant under Pingla in the future.”

Blake Walker suddenly stiffened.

He forgot about this point.

In the future, if he wanted to work with Iris Doone.

Once they see Iris Doone, they would refuse her because of Adrian Zhekova’s words.

That’s no big deal.

What if they refuse him along with her?

Blake Walker thought that he should think about it later.

But since the words have been said, just let it be for now.

Just don’t take her along in the future.

Anyhow, who knows what the future will hold.

It doesn’t matter if you say something nice to Iris Doone now and then.

Iris Doone didn’t know that Blake Walker’s brain had just “recovered” a second ago, but now he immediately knew how to think about himself.

Iris Doone just felt that Blake Walker’s reaction was a bit strange.

So she tilted her head and asked, “Blake, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Blake Walker quickly smiled and said.

“You’ll… think about me in the future, right?” Iris Doone had an intuition that something was wrong and repeated her request.

“Of course.” Blake Walker hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, I promise you. Besides, what’s our relationship? How could I not care about you?”

If it weren’t for the fact that she still needed him, Iris Doone really wanted to spit on his face.

What kind of relationship did they have?

They had no relationship at all!

Blake Walker really knew how to embellish himself.

They had only participated in three competitions together, and he had already tied her down.

Blake Walker was just ridiculous!

Iris Doone immediately decided that unless Blake Walker had any benefits to introduce to her, she would never pay him any attention if he ever contacted her again.

As soon as Iris Doone thought of this and entered the backstage, she saw Yellen Brooks talking to Cindy Clarke.

Cindy Clarke’s performance was no different from before.

Her smile was calm and steady.

In the past, everyone would think that Cindy Clarke’s demeanor was cold.

However, after today, they realized it was just her nature.

She’s not very outgoing or friendly, but when you really communicate with her, you feel refreshed and don’t feel neglected by her.

Suddenly, everyone couldn’t help but think of a saying.

The friendship of a gentleman is as light as water.

Perhaps this is how Cindy Clarke behaves.

Although she doesn’t interact closely with others, when she is really needed, she is absolutely clear.

Upholding the principles of a gentleman, she never takes advantage of others in distress.

So, everyone’s gaze at Cindy Clarke was different from before.

Although many people didn’t talk much with Cindy Clarke, they also tried to strike up a conversation.

The Pingla Ten had talked to Cindy Clarke a few times before in the advancement seats.

They didn’t come forward this time.

Cynthia Florine continued to use a polishing block to shape her nails and hummed, “A group of ordinary people.”

Leon Hernandez rolled his eyes and said, “Your nails are so short, what shape can you polish them into?”

“As I please!” Cynthia Florine bared her teeth at him.

“Cynthia, you really like Cindy Clarke, don’t you?” Aiden Huxley approached and asked with a smile.

Cynthia Florine looked like a strong big sister from appearance to temperament.

Her temper was also quite bad.

“Don’t call me Cynthia!” Such a prestigious person was called stupid by him!

“Hey, I think you’re just angry because they’re all gathered around her, pushing you out,” Aiden Huxley saw through her early on.

Cynthia Florine was a person with clear likes and dislikes.

For those she liked, she would take the initiative to talk to them.

But those she disliked or felt indifferent to, she wouldn’t even bother with.

Earlier in the advancement seats, Cynthia Florine had taken the initiative to talk to Cindy Clarke, and they were quite surprised.

Cynthia Florine was very proud.

When she first entered Pingla Academy, as a freshman in her first year, she could still be arrogant and high above everyone else with no pressure.

Some seniors would complain about her behind her back, and hot-tempered senior girls would directly challenge her to teach her a lesson.

Who would have thought Cynthia Florine was actually capable and had the skills to suppress her seniors with her cooking abilities?

As she delved deeper into her studies and improved her cooking skills, she became one of the top students in Pingla Academy.

Now there are not many people qualified to challenge her.

Among the ten of them, they were not actually the top ten most outstanding students in Pingla Academy.

This was because students who had participated in the major competition last year were not allowed to participate this year.

Every year, excluding the fourth-year students, since they are in their last year.

So, they can’t register to participate.

Only students from the first three years can register for the auditions held within Pingla.

The reason for this is to give new students opportunities.

After studying at Pingla Academy for four years, the skills of the seniors in their fourth year are much better than those of the new students.

If the fourth year is also included, then it is possible that the team of Pingla Ten would be mostly from the fourth year, if not all.

This would leave few opportunities for new students.

Unless they are exceptionally outstanding new students, they would not be able to stand out.

The school believes that it is better to participate in such competitions earlier so that they can gain experience and exposure while they are young.

When they reach their fourth year, they will begin preparing for entrepreneurship or post-graduation work.

Only the first three-year students are allowed to sign up each time, and although the fourth-year students can’t participate this year, they have had the opportunity to participate in the past three years.

What the school means by this rule is that if you haven’t been selected in the past three years, it means your ability has reached its limit.

In your graduation year, it’s not interesting to crush new first-year students.

It’s better to leave opportunities for more outstanding new students.

However, in reality, if they were placed within the entire scope of Pingla, including the fourth-year students.

Among the ten of them, there were probably only two or three who could actually rank in the top ten.
