Louis saved the document and closed his computer. He checked the time, it was already past seven in the evening and time to go back. Upon thinking that there would be traces of Jane at his current residence, Louis' expression softened and he felt a sense of urgency to go see her.
With this emotion in mind, Louis urged the driver twice on the way back. The driver was shocked but did his best to reduce travel time by a third while ensuring safety.
From afar, Louis saw lights coming from the villa and couldn't help but smile. Meanwhile, Jane had spent an afternoon cleaning up the villa and spent over half an hour preparing dinner before realizing that Louis may not come home for dinner.
But what if he did? Magazine articles said entrepreneurs like them often had irregular eating habits and most likely suffered from stomach problems. Today was her first day on duty, so being prepared wouldn't hurt.
Just as she thought about this, she heard the sound of the gate opening outside. Jane quickly wiped her wet hands on her apron and went out to meet Louis.
"Good evening, Jane," said Louis with a gentlemanly smile.
"Good evening, Louis, have you had dinner?" replied Jane who was completely taken by his handsome appearance.
Louis raised an eyebrow when he saw Jane's apron and asked, "Not yet. Have you made dinner?"
As they talked, they entered into the clean living room where delicious smells were wafting through the air.
"Yes, you come back just in time! I just cooked the last dishes!"
Louis lowered his eyes to cover the joy in them. "Well, then I'd love to try them."
Three dishes plus soup were served. All were ordinary homemade dishes but carefully cooked.
The aroma made Louis who was not so hungry crave food. "Thank you for cooking this meal for me," said Louie appreciatively after taking one bite.
Jane raised an eyebrow and smiled, her eyes shining with excitement. "It's my pleasure to do this for you. After all, you're my big boss now."
