Vela listened, her face intent with interest as he described the job. She needed a regular full-time job until she gets regular customers for her business. Being hired out to make menus and the following meal for special events or family gatherings was still a new idea.
She had a few, though it was still as a curiosity both at the kind of work and that she is a professional chef that had finished culinary school. As a woman, that had been a challenge, but that she was in the top of her class said a lot. London had been growing interests, but she wanted to be known for herself, not just because her parent's friends had spread the news of her business.
The information about the man being troubled caused a pause in her mind, but then he continued and she relaxed knowing that he wasn't dangerous. "It is a generous wage." She agreed. "And your description of him could be found to be a challenge. As to am I qualified, I would say yes."
"I have the address of those I have worked before and a letter with me stating that I have received the Le Cordon Bleu Grand Diplôme." She pulled these to options out of her notebook to hand to him.
"I have started a small business here in Whitby providing special event menus and then leading the creation of the dishes for the event." She explained with confidence. "I do however find the need for a client that is more regular while I get more regular clients." She explained honestly, not wanting to leave him thinking otherwise.
Currently, she had maybe two events a month and that would not pay for the rent on the small cottage she had rented, nor the supplies she had bought to fit out the kitchen there. The income she had earned in London was willowing down quickly.
"I grew up in a very social household. My parents often had various people over when in town and once I was old enough to join in the gatherings, I was able to interact with a variety of people. So, in keeping even the quiet company engaged was not an issue."
"As for food, I have a creative eye in the visual of the dishes I make as well as a good palate for the tastes that are created. I feel I could find dishes that he would enjoy. Does he have any allergies? Any flavors that you know that he favors?" She asked curiously.
