A Love Trap

The two pastry chefs, who had previously worked for Harkim, were hired by Greyson with high pay. The cakes they baked were much better, and lighter, than those made by ordinary chefs.

After all, Harkim only catered to high-born people from the upper class of society. Anyone working here had to possess extraordinary skills, otherwise they would never be allowed to work here.
