Joanna remained calm throughout the situation. The fact that Alex had not even tasted the food indicated that the issue lay with the presentation.
"Why? Is it because it doesn't have all those fancy presentations of a five-star hotel?"
That was typically how the chef presented the meals, but Joanna's question made Alex suspicious.
Initially, he thought the chef was being lazy or maybe he was sick and Betty had prepared the meal. However, now he suspected that the meal was not made by the chef at all.
"Did you cook?" Alex's expression was unwelcoming, but Joanna was determined to face the consequences of her actions, understanding why the domestic workers were so afraid of Alex settling in.
"I'm used to cooking, and I enjoy it."
Seeing his expression harden even more, she let out a frustrated sigh. "Alex, I'm your wife, not some robot."
