"It likes to poop into the breakfast bowl," Charlotte chuckled tensely.
"Well, we'll have to make the bird into stew then," Zachary replied nonchalantly.
"What?" Charlotte spluttered. "No way! It's my family."
"Silly." Zachary rolled his eyes at her. "Come over and have your breakfast."
Charlotte walked over to the table; her eyes lit up when she saw the sumptuous meal.
Meanwhile, her stomach growled, reminding her that she had not eaten anything for the entire day yesterday.
When she sat down, Zachary handed her a set of cutlery before he settled himself down on a chair to watch her eat.
Charlotte was a lady born with a silver spoon.
However, to make a living in recent years, she had learned to eat as quickly as she could in order to get back to work earlier and maximize her pay. Thus, she no longer savored food elegantly like she used to do.
That was why her table manners seemed terrible to everyone else.
Yet, Zachary found her behavior realistic.
Moreover, Charlotte was a pretty woman, so she looked good no matter what she was doing. In fact, she portrayed a silly kind of cuteness.
"Aren't you eating?” Charlotte licked her lips as she passed a spoonful of sauteed mushrooms to Zachary.
"I've had my breakfast.”
Zachary had wanted to move away from the food, but as her hand was still hovering in mid-air, he leaned over to eat the mushrooms.
"They're good, aren't they?" Charlotte giggled.
"Hm." Zachary nodded before he scowled and stood up, ready to leave.
"What's the matter?"
Charlotte froze as she watched him walk away. What did I do wrong?
Once Zachary was gone, the room suddenly felt sprawling and empty.
Having lost her appetite, Charlotte placed her chin on her palm as she recollected what just happened.
What did I do wrong?Why did he suddenly scowl at me?Didn't I just feed him mushrooms?ls he allergic to them?
Just as she was deep in thought, Raina entered with a knock. "Ms. Windt, I've brought you a charger. Let me charge your phone."
