Chapter 145 Learning to Cook
Nevertheless, Eugene simply found Olivia utterly adorable.
After she got out of his embrace, he could still feel the lingering warmth in his arms. All of a sudden, he regretted the fact that he was too gentlemanly as he should have hugged her a little longer. He should even have carried her out of the place and sent her to the hospital. This way, he could have spent two more hours with her.
However, he knew that Olivia wasn’t such a pretentious woman.
If he really did that, she would have gotten angry with him. In that case, it would do more harm than good.
“Is your leg alright? Do you want me to send you to the hospital?”
Olivia swung her leg and replied, “I’m fine. Thanks for helping me.”
Staring at her leg, Eugene suggested worriedly, “Why don’t you go back and change into another pair of shoes?”
Upon composing herself, Olivia replied, “There’s no need. I’ll change to another pair of stilettos anyway if I have to get changed.” Then, she thought to herself that she had no flats at all.
Parting with Eugene, she directly went to the supermarket and bought many groceries. After that, she hailed a taxi and went to an alley where there was a shop that sold candies. Reaching there, the shop owner told her that there was only one box left.
Frowning, Olivia said, “Then give it to me. When are you going to restock?”
The owner answered, “In a few days. Come back by then.”
“Alright, save one box for me!”
Then, she paid the money for the other box of candies in advance and went home with the one she already bought. Although she wanted to pass the candies to Brian, she had to rush home to learn to cook.
Since she was lousy at cooking, she had to hire a cook to teach her in the hope that her cooking skill would improve quickly.
At 9 pm, Kate was summoned to Olivia’s home. Before she managed to stabilize her breath, Olivia lugged her to the kitchen and passed her an apron. “I want to make eight delicate and delicious dishes. Help me!”
Looking at the unopened plastic bags, Kate directly threw the apron back at her. “I can’t help you!” With that, she turned to leave.
Upon taking a few steps forward, she was pulled back by Olivia. “You just have to teach me and won’t have to do it yourself.”
Hearing that, Kate turned around and remarked, “That’s worse. You have zero skill in cooking. I’d rather do it myself than teach you!”
Without trying to grab Kate’s arm, Olivia crossed her arms and stared at her coldly.
In that instant, Kate could feel someone glaring at her back with a sharp gaze. After taking a few steps forward, she turned around and returned helplessly.
“Alright, since you’re a good student, I will teach you for free.”
Without saying a word, Olivia kept glaring at her, which caused Kate to stare back at her. “Stop looking at me and tell me the truth. Who are you making the dishes for? You even want to cook delicate meals.”
In that instant, Olivia retracted her gaze. “Why do you ask so many questions? Just teach me how to cook eight dishes.”
“I know who the man is.” Gazing at her, Kate guessed cheekily, “He’s Mr. Nolan, right?”
Olivia shot her a look from the corner of her eye. “How did you know?”
Raising an eyebrow, Kate replied, “I know that you guys are on good terms.”
Olivia crossed her arms and questioned, “And?”
Flashing a cheeky smile at her, Kate continued, “And you like him.”
“Why don’t you say that he likes me as well?”
“Yes, he also likes you!”
Hearing that, Olivia directly landed a slap on her head. “That’s ridiculous!”
Kate dodged it with a smile. “Why did you make out with him if you don’t like him? Why do you cook for him if you don’t like him?”
Olivia snorted, “I’m just trying to thank him for saving me. Moreover, North made his company suffer a loss of 100 million, so he insisted that I had to cook for him. I have no choice!”
“Oh…” Kate questioned meaningfully, “Does your meal cost 100 million? It’s worth a lot of money!”
