The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 289

Shakira stuck out her tongue, turned around, and noticed that Walter had appeared at the door without her realizing it. She played dumb. "Nope, I didn't say anything. You must have misheard because you're too far away." Walter glanced at her mischievous little face, and then his gaze fell on the table full of colorful doughnuts.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he was about to speak again when Shakira quickly brought a freshly baked doughnut up to him, casually popping it into his mouth.

Words failed Walter.

Shakira looked at him with eager eyes, her eyes sparkling. "Tastes good, doesn't it? This one is sugar-free, made especially for you."

Not only was it sugar-free, but the doughnut had a subtle tanginess of hawthorn. Walter's eyes widened with surprise as he looked at her deeply. For these tiny doughnuts, she had put in quite a bit of thought.

Shakira was all smiles, feeling quite proud of herself. Walter raised his chin, gesturing at the table. "Don't tell me all of these were made just for me."

"Since I was at it, I made some extra to give to my friends." Shakira started counting. "Benji, Kyle, Calton, Gavin, and Xanthe's family, plus the show crew."

After a moment, she added, "Matthew and the others should get some too, and also Mr. Reynolds of Yonder Digital, because they helped me before."

Walter frowned slightly, "Benji and the others don't eat this kind of thing."

"It's the thought that matters. They're your good friends, so they're my friends too." Walter's frown relaxed when he heard her say this naturally. There was an inexplicable brightness in his eyes. "Alright, that's enough for now. You're starting your internship in a couple of days, so get some good rest," said Walter.

Shakira playfully saluted. "Yes, sir."

Whew, luckily he didn't mention the injury on her hand.
