Chapter 322: He only liked what she cooked
As Adrian walked out of the meeting room, Ji Yan followed after him,, "Second Master, with the advent of these projects, the King Empires will reach new bounds. By then, your position as the heir would be unshakeable."
Just talking about it, Ji Yan’s eyes seem to tear up a little.
However, Adrian’s expressions did not show any change at all as if he couldn’t care less about it.
Suddenly, Ji Yan remembered something, "Second Master, earlier when you were in the meeting, I got a call from Eve Mansion."
Adrian’s footsteps slowed, his eyes lit up as he turned to Ji Yan.
Met with such a passionate gaze of his second Master, Ji Yan fell speechless. When I told you about endless glories, you didn’t seem this excited my dear second master!
"Miss Yu should be on her way..." Ji Yan had not even finished speaking when Adrian walked past him and approached the meeting room nearby.
Ji Yan: "_" Could it be that they fought again and the Second Master is unwilling to meet Miss Yu?
But in the next moment, Adrian leaned in front of the glass.
The people inside the meeting room shivered and straightened up, discussing things with more vigor and passion.
However, Adrian reached out to his tie and fixed it a little.
Then, he touched the strand of hair that had fallen above his forehead, gently lifting it and adjusting it properly.
The directors who were passing by nearly lost their footing.
Once he recovered from his shock, Ji Yan closed his eyes in speechlessness again. He couldn’t see his second master in this state for the life of him, ah! So embarrassing.
However, Adrian looked completely unbothered.
Only after he seemed fully satisfied with appearance did he straighten up and walk away from the place. His strides were bigger and more urgent than before.
...
The moment Ella pushed open the door to Adrian’s office room, she did not enter immediately.
Rather, she halted in her tracks and glanced at the man who was focused on his laptop. Every strand of his hair was coiffed to perfection and his suit clung to his body in a way that it seemed almost sinful.
’How can someone be this perfect?’ Ella sighed internally, ’Did god bless me with this heavenly sight everyday for no reason at all?’
Ella immediately took ’God’s’ cue and walked over to Adrian before she planted her lips on his cheeks. Art should, after all, be appreciated!
The moment Ella tried to straighten up[, Adrian grabbed her waist and pulled her onto his lap, "Where do you think you are going?"
Startled by the abrupt movement, Riri and Lala jumped away from Ella and started playing around in the office.
Ella smiled as she raised the bag in her hand, "I brought us lunch."
Adrian’s eyes flickered the bag in her hand and then he looked at her smile, his gaze warmed subtly.
In no time, Ella served the food for Riri and Lala in their favorite corner. And then, she laid out the dishes for herself and Adrian on the coffee table in the office.
When Adrian took a seat on the couch, his gaze roamed across the dishes and his brows scrunched slightly.
"I wanted to make lunch but I was very late and the Chef had already prepared everything.. So, I did not waste anything," Ella looked at the food before turning to look at him, "But I have made one dish for you."
Adrian’s brows relaxed slightly when he heard that, ’Which one?"
"It’s up to you to figure out..." Ella said challengingly.
Adrian stretched a hand towards her and the moment she placed her hand on his, he pulled her onto his lap.
Adrian held a fork, his hand hoovering over all the dishes before it came to a halt in front of the most simple dish.
It was a plain dish of stir fried veggies and meat with poached eggs, topped with some sesame seeds.
Without hesitation, Adrian took a bite from it.
Ella’s eyes lit up, ’You could tell? Is it because my dish looks too plain among the rest?"
’’Looks appetizing," Adrian responded crisply before he resumed eating.
His initial scowl at the sight of food was replaced by a pleasant expression, and he seemed to have gotten an appetite.
Ella was a bit too flattered at that moment. Eve Mansion had some of the top chefs of the country but in front of their dishes, Adrian actually found her plain stir fried veggies and meat more appetizing?
Is this... the power of... ahem... her charms?
But looking at him eating the food sincerely, she did not think he said all that just to please her.
While she was thinking, a spoon stopped in front of her mouth. One by one, Adrian fed her all the dishes.
But throughout the course of lunch, he only ate from her dish.
And although Ella had noticed it a few times in the past, she made a mental note of it this time: He ate well when she cooked something for him.
After their lunch together, Ella told Adrian that she had some work to do. So, he provided her with a spare laptop.
Ella sat on the couch to work while Adrian sat beside her, looking like he had no intentions to work.
Ella gave him a look.
"What are you doing?" He looked at the laptop she was holding, his gaze was sincerely curious.
"Recently, I haven’t made social media posts so I am thinking of scheduling some of my previous pictures to be posted, plus my skincare routines so I can also promote Lilac’s products..."
Adrian listened to her intently as she explained her plans to him.
It was only after she finished speaking did the man slowly nod, ’Be careful in this deal."
Ella paused.
Bewildered, she opened her mouth to speak when there was a knock on the door.
After a beat, Ji Yan bowed and entered the office, "Second Master, outside..."
His words had not even finished when the clicking sound of heels reverberated by the office room.
