After Catherine returned to Hackett Institute, Freya, who had just taken a shower, immediately ran out
and winked. “Let me see if your clothes are intact and if you have hickeys or not. Hey, your clothes are
wrinkled and your hair is so messy. You look exhausted as well. Did you two…”
She smiled ambiguously.
Catherine swept her icy eyes over. “Put away those dirty thoughts. I went to his place and cooked for
two hours for him. I have calluses on my hands from chopping so many ribs.”
Freya silently looked at her reddened hands and was speechless.
Catherine looked like she wanted to cry and complained, “4o pounds of ribs and 4o pounds of meat. I
chopped them for ages before putting them in the freezer for him. Then, I cooked him roasted pork,
spareribs stew, pork chop with peppers, stir-
fried pork, and sweet and sour pork ribs. I had just finished eating when he asked me why I wasn’t
doing the dishes. I…”
She drank a large glass of water angrily. “By the way, can you believe that I didn’t even drink a glass of
water at his place?”
Freya patted her shoulder sympathetically. “How blind must you have been to fall in love with him
before?”
“You know that I’m blind too?” Catherine looked up and sighed. “I blocked his number as soon as I
left. How infuriating.”
“Well done. You must be tired. Go take a break and then sleep.” Freya comforted her. “I believe that
after this experience, your heart will be calmer and will no longer ripple for him.”
Catherine sneered, “The only ripples I’ll have for him are from anger.”
Hill Corporation.
The next morning at 8:00 a.m.
When Shaun came out of the elevator, he heard Hadley chatting with several women in the secretary
department in the corridor.
“Assistant Young, I saw a super funny male
chauvinist ask a question online yesterday. The man actually asked, ‘I invited the girl I like home to
cook, but when I asked her to do the dishes, she got angry and left. Is it my fault or is the woman too
narrow-minded?’ My God, the world really is large. There are all kinds of outlandish men out there.”
Hadley laughed. “That man is crazy. He invited a woman to his place but made her cook. That’s bad
enough, but he asked her to do the dishes too. This kind of person is destined to never find a
girlfriend.”
“Right? He even had the nerve to ask the question online! It’s enough that he’s not self-aware, but he
had the cheek to accuse the woman of being too narrow-minded.”
“There are much weirder men these few years. It’s best to stay away from people like that if you
encounter them.”
“I’m guessing he’s been blocked by that woman.”
At some point, everyone suddenly felt a chill coming from behind them. It was almost summer, but they
felt as if it was colder than winter.
Someone called out, “President Hill.”
Looking back, they saw Shaun’s handsome but dark face.
“President Hill…” Hadley explained nervously, “ Work hours haven’t started, so we…”
“Hadley Young. ” Shaun’s death stare fell on him.
“Come in.”
Then, Shaun went into the office.
Hadley followed him miserably and closed the door. “President Hill, I’m sorry. I’ll never chat with others
in the corridor again…”
“Assistant Young, the crazy man you mentioned earlier is me.” Shaun took off his jacket and threw it on
his leather seat. His eyes were frosty. “ I’m the man who asked the question online. The same guy you
said would never find a girlfriend in his life.”
Hadley was petrified, “…”
He had an urge to whack himself to death on the spot. What kind of outrageous words did he say
earlier? He could not remember at all.
“President Hill, I’m sorry. I didn’t know, ” Hadley stammered, “I… I thought it was some poor and
ordinary loser. Of course… for a handsome, rich, and dazzling man like you, there are tons of women
willing to cook and wash dishes for you. There’s no way you won’t be able to get a girlfriend.”
