Laura, Doris, and even Peyton stared at Jimmy, shocked that he’d even suggest something so unreasonable.

Chapter 357 What Does Emyr Like?

Rex watched as the car doors on the other side swung open. But before anyone could step out, Charmaine had already rushed forward.

The doors shut just as he was about to get a glimpse inside, leaving Rex frustrated.

One second. If Charmaine's legs had been just a few centimeters shorter, he would've finally seen that man's face.

How many times had this happened already? If he missed his chance again today, he wasn't sure he could accept it.

No time to waste. As the Cullinan pulled away, he immediately followed.

In the car, Emyr had packed her a meal-crispy roast quail.

Charmaine devoured two of them in no time, savoring the crispy, juicy texture. Licking the grease from the corner of her lips, she let out a satisfied sigh.

Emyr handed her a napkin and wiped away the sheen of oil on her lips. "Good?" "Delicious! Perfectly roasted-crispy on the outside, tender on the inside."

He nodded, then instructed the driver, Tad, "Tell Alfred to bring the chef in." Tad responded calmly, "Yes, Mr. Emyr."

She shot him al look. "Isn't hiring a chef just for home cooking a bit... excessive?"

Emyr flicked her forehead. "What are you thinking? The company's annual retreat next month is in Sudbay. We're inviting a few chefs to handle the banquet."

Charmaine blinked. "Oh... that makes sense."

Since they were on the topic, Emyr casually mentioned, "We'll be there from December 23rd to the 28th. If you want to invite any friends, feel free."

Charmaine mentally noted the dates. "So, that meant Satan's birthday would be celebrated there?"

She thought for a moment. "I'll ask Celeste if she's free."

Emyr nodded. Noticing her deep in thought, he circled back to the earlier topic.

"Wait-you thought I was bringing the chef home to cook for us?"

Snapped back to reality, Charmaine scratched her cheek, then huffed indignantly. "Well, your wording was misleading!"
