The recording ended abruptly. Ivana touched her face, it was covered in cold tears.
So it was just as she thought, she was only a substitute. She had believed that, in these five years, she had warmed Ernest's heart.
But it turned out she was just a replacement. Now that the real girlfriend was back, whether the substitute's hands could still make desserts no longer mattered.
Wiping away her tears, Ivana opened her email and found the invitation from the French Le Cordon Bleu Academy when she won the dessert competition five years ago.
Back then, because she couldn't bear to leave Ernest, who had collapsed after Sydney left, she gave up on that opportunity everyone envied.
Nowadays, Ivana wanted to go again but didn't know if she still could. After some thought, Ivana sent an email to them, attaching her various awards over the years.
While waiting for a reply, Ivana also researched other schools and their admission requirements. But the one she wanted most was still Le Cordon Bleu.
Researching schools, checking flights, consulting about rental apartment ... Ivana busied herself until evening.
