Dexter raised the spatula in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Isn't it obvious?"
Angela was even more shocked. "You can cook?"
Dexter offered a faint smile, turning his back to her. "There's nothing I can't do."
What an arrogant man!
After a while, he presented a plate of pasta topped with a perfectly poached egg and crispy bacon. It looked incredibly appetizing. The delicious aroma wafted through the air, tantalizing Angela's senses.
She gazed at Dexter. "Are you trying to poison me?"
"Yes. Let's see if you're brave enough to eat it," Dexter said, rolling his eyes. He brought out another plate and sat in front of her. He started eating, looking as though he was thoroughly enjoying the food.
The way he ate was both refined and surprisingly casual—worlds apart from his usual cold, stern demeanor.
Angela couldn't resist and took a bite. To her surprise, it actually wasn't bad at all.
…
Soon, Angela finished her final days at Graham Group and returned to DawnStar Co. Upon her arrival at the design department after a lengthy absence, she learned a piece of shocking news.
Trevor was set to become the ambassador of the company.
"Do you know the ambassador this time is none other than Trev, the rising star?"
"Yeah. He seems to have a strong background. Without any connections, how could he have reached the top right after his debut?"
