Third, to figure out how to simultaneously get the first and second things I want without any of us getting hurt. Second, to be the best bloody chef in the country. I want three things: First, Maxwell Emerson and Jane Chapman both in my bed. I’m honest about everything but the man I’ve been f**king for the last four years… and now her. However, I like to believe it because I’m honest no matter what story I report on. I know it’s because I’m the only son of the prominent Emerson family. Then I became their maid.Įvery day more than half a million people tune in to watch my show. My life used to consist of nothing but work, keeping Allen out of trouble, and if I had time, sleep.
