Chapter 0140

As George walked in, he was utterly speechless at the scene before him.

His employer was…applying ice to someone’s face! Could the world turn upside down? Was the Third World War underway? Opting not to disturb them, he discreetly exited the room.

Lucius’s adeptness made Violet aware that this man was actually proficient at this. She suspected his initial roughness was a deliberate act, a form of playful punishment.

Once he was done, she covered her face and complained playfully, “So, you’re teaming up with those people to bully me?”

Lucius was innocent. He applied ice because he cares about her. At the question, he wondered if Violet was blind enough to see that.

Unbeknownst to Violet, Lucius had quickly mastered this task with his exceptional intelligence. Initially, he had no clue about the proper way to do it.

After discarding the ice pack in the bin, he commanded, “Make something for me to eat.”

In light of his earlier care, Violet obediently made her way to the fridge, which she found fully stocked with various ingredients. Additionally, there was a small, well–equipped kitchen area.

She sighed, and began chopping up ingredients on the cutting board.

Lucius felt a strange satisfaction as he watched her cook from behind. Settling down with a pillow, he turned on the TV, waiting for the meal while watching some shows.

Violet glanced back at him occasionally, lounging comfortably, and couldn’t help but wonder if he was too relaxed for someone in another person’s office.

An hour later, she served several delicious dishes, filling the room with their tantalizing aroma.

Lucius dove into the meal with an enormous appetite, as if he hadn’t eaten in days.

Violet speculated whether his earlier kindness was just a ploy driven by hunger to have her cook him a hearty meal. Knowing his delicate stomach, Violet intervened when he grabbed for his third serving of pasta.
