Chapter 18 I'll Support You for a Lifetime
"The Sales Department is one of the most important departments in the company." Ava intentionally mocked Stella during the regular meeting. "If someone truly doesn't have the talent for sales, it's best for her to not occupy the position and leave the opportunity for more capable people!"
"Our company is not a retirement home, and everyone should understand that. People who can't even bring in a single order and can only rely on their basic salary should seriously consider their future!"
Stella had been lowering her head the entire afternoon. Her knitted eyebrows never relaxed.
However, when she returned home tiredly after a day's work, she saw Liam still sitting on the sofa and looking at his phone leisurely. There was no food in the kitchen, and she didn't have a cup of water to drink.
Stella had been upset for a whole afternoon. At that moment, she couldn't hold back her grievances anymore.
"You... Didn't you cook?"
Liam paused, shifting his gaze away from his phone.
Stella had slightly flushed cheeks, her breathing slightly rapid, and her chest rising and falling.
Her bright and big eyes stared straight at him. Her questioning tone didn't sound angry at all, but rather like a wife who had been wronged complaining to her husband.
Liam's heart was touched, and his gaze toward her unknowingly softened.
"What's wrong?" He stood up from the sofa, looking innocent. "Since we got married, you've always been the one cooking, haven't you?"
Stella paused and bit her lip.
Liam's figure was imposing. Standing in front of her, he was much taller, making her less aggressive.
Besides, she was gentle and accommodating, so she couldn't truly blame Liam.
But...
"Yes, that's right." She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I have always been the one cooking, but now I have a job. Can't you... share some of the household chores? After all, this home doesn't belong to just me!"
"I came back late today. Even if you don't know how to cook, couldn't you at least prepare the ingredients? Do you expect me to do everything?"
Liam squinted his eyes slightly.
Since they got married, this was the first time he had seen Stella get angry with him.
Well, it couldn't really be considered anger, just a bit of complaining. The way she looked angry but didn't dare to lose her temper was so cute. He suddenly wanted to tease her.
