Number One Chef In The Intergalactic Era

Chapter 30

The rest of Bella's days passes as idly as it could be. Everyday she wakes up, eats, wanders around the facility, sleeps and repeats the whole process. Apart from cooking daily for her family, she just lazes around like a sloth. She finally sees some resembles to her and her eldest brother Blake. Both of them likes to laze around. In her previous life, Bella didn't have the luxury to breath in relax let alone sitting so idly. But in this lifetime, she has a big and caring family whose top priority is her safety and well-being. So, now she can breath in relaxation as her family provides her all the daily necessities. She finally became the princess she always wanted to be.

But these idle days didn't suit Bella. She wasn't Blake after all. Though both of them likes to be idle, but there's a limit in everything. Bella couldn't be like Blake, who can sleep the whole day without moving even a finger. Unlike Blake, Bella was someone hardworking. Work has not only occupied her body and mind but her soul too. She understood a few days later that she isn't fit to be an idle person. Her hands and feet wants her to work so there's nothing that she could do. So, she decided that from now on she would cook not once a day but twice a day.

Bella knew the condition of her body. She knows that her body isn't fit to be working. Even if she wants to cook more for her family, she can't unless her body agrees. Cooking once drains most of her energy. She is sure that if she is to cook twice a day, she wouldn't be able to lift her fingers the next day. And she hates it. She is happy that this body of hers is pretty and girly but the weakness is too much to accept. How can someone be tired just by cooking once and strolling around a little? She doesn't like it at all. She wants to be beautiful but strong at the same time. She doesn't want to be a delicate flower vase that would break with a single touch. So, everyday, she secretly takes a few minutes of exercise in her room after her mom puts her to 'sleep'. Although, she couldn't exercise more than a few minutes but she has confidence that she would be better in the future. She can already feel she has become stronger than before. Now she doesn't feels much tired after cooking or strolling around.

Even though Bella wants to cook for her family and she is also exercising to improve her physique, she wouldn't be able to achieve her goal untill her parents' consent. It's her brothers before and parents now who would buy her the ingredients she needs. They does gives her allowance every month but Bella never spends them. Her family doesn't want her to spend her money and buy things from their money as much as she wants. Besides buying from their money or with her allowance doesn't make much difference to Bella. They would know if she buys something anyway so both of the situation are same. If she ever wants to spend money, it would her own hard owned money. She has to find a way so that she can earn money. Untill then she has to live under their wings. So she reveals her intention of cooking more for them to her mom. She wasn't surprised when her mom refused her request firmly.

But is Bella someone to fail so easily? Of course not! She used all kind of tactics to shake her mom's decision. From being too coquettish to extremely cute and finally cooking something especially for her; ice cream! Her mom's heart finally melts with the melted ice cream. She rather helplessly yields to her daughter's wishes.

Bella immediately sets to action once her mom agrees. Fortunately the diurnal speed of this planet is very long. 42 hours; almost as twice as that of Earth. So Bella can have plenty of rest after cooking once and start again  after resting. So, although her mom was against it and her dad was a little distress at first but thinking about Bella's logic and eating delicious meal twice everyday, they agrees. Brandon knows that he shouldn't agree but he trusts his wife and daughter. Both of them won't overdo anything and he believes it.

After her schedule made, Bella starts to cook more and more complex food as time passes. As her menu grows longer, more recipe as well as dessert adds to her list and her true talent as a chef starts to come out. She cooks in her room most of the time since she doesn't have any kitchen. Her parents are also busy most of the time so they couldn't also keep an eye on her all the time. Thus, when her parents sees her cooking after a long time, they were shocked to see her efficiency in cooking. They were surprised at first when Bella starts cooking for the first time. But now their surprise skyrocketed and they are completely bewildered at her talent. They can help but praise her that she definitely has a great talent in cooking. Otherwise, it's quite impossible for someone to be able to master something so quickly after learning them in such short time.
