Mr. Jenkins actually ordered them especially for you. I just don’t think that it’s appropriate to just give them to Miss Maria…

Even though she couldn’t cook that much, she knew that tuna bone marrow and top-grade abalones were very rare.
Tuna bone marrow was a Luxurious seafood dish and she was able to eat it a few times before. It tasted the best when eaten raw. Most importantly, it easily cost an arm and a leg since a tuna fish only had so much bone marrow to offer.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
