Chapter 47: Let Me Cook
Miss Clara didn’t let Suzanne explain at all. After nagging for a while, she walked out with two bags of garbage and told her not to leave anyone here to stay.
Embarrassed and speechless, Suzanne followed Edwiin into the elevator in a panic.
While waiting for the elevator to rise, she couldn’t help sneaking glances at Edwiin.
He was so tall that no matter how hard Suzanne tried, she could only see half of his perfect profile and chin.
After taking a few quick glances, Suzanne quickly withdrew her gaze. Lowering her head, she fiddled with her hands and felt a little puzzled. “Why do I keep stealing glances at others recently? How did I develop such a bad habit?”
After arriving at the floor, she took Edwiin out of the elevator, opened the door, and entered the house. She then took out a pair of slippers for him.
Originally, she and Nancy were the only ones living in this apartment. Usually, no one came to visit them, so naturally, they did not prepare any men’s slippers. There are only her and Nancy’s slippers.
Edwiin was wearing Suzanne’s slippers. The size of her shoes were 37, but in order to dress comfortably, she bought slippers of size 38. There was a little chick’s head on the furry soles. The shoes were so small that Edwiin’s feet couldn’t cover half of them.
Suzanne wanted to laugh when she saw him wearing her slippers. She was afraid that she would be ignored if she laughed, so she could only cover her mouth and run to the kitchen with her things.
“Can’t I wear nothing?” Edwiin’s face darkened for the first time. He raised his foot and looked at the yellow-haired little thing. The more he looked at it, the more unhappy he felt. His voice was cold with a little displeasure.
“No, the floor is cold.” Suzanne’s voice came from the kitchen.
Edwiin pursed his lips, still displeased. “If i wearing socks?”
“Who knows if your foot stinks or not!” Suzanne had become the owner of her own territory. She had a little imposing manner in her heart and she was able to talk back to Edwiin.
Edwiin’s eyebrows twitched a few times. He turned his head to look at the kitchen and saw Suzanne’s petite body moving around busily. Later, he didn’t say anything, turned around, walked to the beige sofa, and lay down lazily.
Since someone was busy, he would wait for the meal.
He was a little bored and turned on the TV to watch. He took the remote control to adjust several programs. As soon as he switched to the PE channel, the mobile phone thrown on the table casually buzzed.
Edwiin was displeased when he saw that the caller was Deirdre.
“I’m sorry, boss. I know you said that you wouldn’t talk about official business after work these days, but it’s really too urgent.” As soon as Edwiin picked up the phone, Deirdre apologized immediately. “There’s a problem with VOE.”
The VOE was a brand company bought by Edwiin three years ago. He spent nearly a year to remove all the senior executives of the company and replace them with the largest shareholder.
He had invested a lot in this company. Seeing that Deirdre’s words were about VOE, he couldn’t help suppressing his anger and asked calmly, “What’s wrong?”
“Eva took 32 custom-made dresses to Bora’s side.”
“Breaking the contract without authorization will cost 13 million yuan. When did she become so generous?” Edwiin sneered.
Edwiin crossed his legs atop the glass coffee table, his black suit pants accentuating his long legs. Sadly, the little chick’s slippers had ruined more than half of his beauty.
Deirdre on the other end of the phone was silent for three seconds. “Poli Bona said they were willing to pay the compensation for her.”
“Is it that simple as compensation?” Edwiin asked in a low voice.
Deirdre held her breath. She knew that every time her boss spoke in this way, he must be angry.
As expected, after a few seconds, she heard Edwiin say coldly, “Contact the lawyer and tell him that I will only look at the results of the lawsuit. In addition, call lan. I have to see 32 drafts at the VOE meeting in three days.”
“Boss, this, this is too hasty.” Deirdre hesitated for a moment. “It’s less than two months before the autumn press conference. In addition to the design plan, we have to ask someone to tailor-make it for the model and then modify it. It’s too late now.”
“Do you want to tell me that you’re going to show those 32 sets of clothes to everyone at the press conference?” Edwiin asked, “Are you a fool?”
Deirdre was shocked. After a long time, she came back to her senses and said with regret.
Putting aside whether Eva would use these 32 designs for the autumn conference of Poli Bona, if they showed up at the autumn conference, it was very likely that they would be targeted by Eva.
Eva had the original design draft in her hand. Even if she lied that VOE had stolen her results, most people would believe it. If such a thing really happened, their VOE’s reputation would be greatly damaged.
“Boss, it’s my fault.” Deirdre apologized.
“You have to keep an eye on VOE during this period. When you’re done with work, you can come back,” Edwiin said. “Let the senior executives of VOE take care of the small matters. Call me if you really can’t solve it.”
“Ah!”
Edwiin gave Deirdre some instructions when he heard Suzanne’s scream from the kitchen. He lowered his voice and immediately hung up. He walked quickly into the kitchen and drew near to her. “What’s wrong?”
Suzanne stood there with his fingers clenched. She had a cut on her finger with a sharp weapon and blood was dripping from it.
Seeing that Edwiin had come in, she quickly placed her hand on the tap to wash it and said awkwardly, “I accidentally got cut by the plastic on the soy sauce bottle.”
Edwiin went out to grab a few pieces of paper and then turned around. He took her hand and wiped the water droplets clean. His movements were gentle as he asked, “Where is the band-aid?”
“There’s no need. It’s just a small wound.” Suzanne withdrew her hand. His palm was hot, making her feel flustered and uneasy. She did not dare to touch it too much. “There’s no way to cut vegetables once it’s bandaged.”
Edwiin stood right in front of her. His height of 1. 8 meters really made Suzanne look like a dwarf. His eyes were slightly cold, and he asked calmly, “Where is the band-aid?”
Suzanne was a little frightened. She shrank her shoulders and took two steps back. Lowering her head, she said in a low voice, “It’s in the second drawer of the cabinet on the left side of the TV.”
The cold aura that enveloped her had not completely dissipated in the air. After a while, the cold aura came back again. He took her hand and carefully put a disassembled band-aid on the wound on her finger.
Suzanne moved her fingers. After feeling a little stiff, she couldn’t help bulging her hands, feeling a little unhappy.
How were they going to cut the vegetables like this? After washing the vegetables with their fingers, the wound would still be touched. It was no different from a band-aid.
“Let me do it,” Edwiin said calmly, as if his tone was normal. He rolled up his sleeves a little, took off Suzanne’s apron, and casually threw it on the stage.
“You, you?” Suzanne widened her eyes and looked at him in a daze.
