The chef was horrified. With a "thud", he dropped to his knees and cried out, "Young Mistress! I really had no idea. I... I..."
The grown - man was now sobbing like a child.
"Get up. I'm still alive, aren't I?" Alexandre Montfort said.
The chef stood up, sniffling, and looked at Claire Wentworth with a gaze full of grievance.
Claire was silent for a moment, then turned her head away, not looking at him.
"Did you purchase this seasoning yourself?"
"Yes." The chef told her the place where he bought the seasoning.
"Leo, go and investigate."
Leo responded and left quickly with the seasoning.
Butler Wilson removed the stir - fried celery and lily from the dining table and replaced it with a plate of home - style tofu.
Alexandre Montfort continued eating as if nothing had happened.
