100,000/Hour Professional Stand-in Chapter 52.2: She Belongs to Me And Me Alone (2)

“This restaurant is known for its Eggs Benedict. Want to give it a try?” Song Shiyu recommended.

Eggs Benedict was a particularly troublesome dish to prepare. It looked like a hamburger filled with meat and vegetables, but its bread was replaced with a poached egg and rich sauce was drizzled on the upper layer instead of the inside.
