Meanwhile, he began to start cutting the potatoes into small little cubes.
Smirking, he gave Jared a mocking glance and returned his gaze to his uniformly cut potato cubes.
Jared was infuriated.
How did Lucas manage to cut his potatoes so beautifully?
Whatever. On the account he cured the Boss, I’ll just suppress my frustrations for the moment.
Ashlyn totally ignored the tension between the two men as she was busy fine-tuning the seasoning.
Although bacon with rice was easy, she wanted to cook two more dishes as it wasn’t enough for them.
She then decided to cook some fried mushrooms and potatoes with sausages.
By the time the dishes were done, the rice was also ready.
After mixing the bacon and potatoes, she poured them onto the rice.
Just the aroma from the freshly cooked rice alone made Jared’s stomach growl.
“Wow! Boss, you can really cook.”
Lucas looked on indifferently. How wonderful it will be if only this busybody isn’t here.
Why does he put on an authoritative facade as the deputy president in the company?
It is obvious he is just a groveling dog in front of Ashlyn.
Lucas didn’t even want to be mentioned in the same breath as Jared as he felt Jared was full of weaknesses.
Jared was unlike him, who had substance and capability. He was even better looking than Jared.
After bringing one of the dishes out, he helped Ashlyn fill her plate with rice before serving it to her.
And then passed her fork and spoon.
As she received the utensils, her eyes flashed with a sense of helplessness.
Is there no way I can draw a clear boundary with Lucas?
“Thank you.”
“Don’t be a stranger, there’s no need to say thanks.” Lucas looked at her with his eyebrows raised as he hated it when she tried to put distance between them.
Ashlyn didn’t respond.
After fighting with the Spirogyra for such a long time, her body needed to replenish its energy.
Naturally, Jared and Lucas had nothing to say to each other.
It didn’t help that Lucas was a man of few words.
Jared initially thought of livening up the atmosphere. But when he saw how exhausted Ashlyn was, he decided against it.
Boss is having it tough.
After the three of them finished the food, Jared knowingly returned to his own room.
Lucas’ instincts told him that Jared and Ashlyn’s relationship isn’t what the rumors made it out to be.
Is there any man in this world who would send the lady he likes into the arms of another man?
Lucas was puzzled.
Nevertheless, he quickly put the matter to the back of his mind because he was sensitive enough to notice that Ashlyn was blushing.
She was feeling increasingly frustrated as heat was welling up inside her body.
However, the feeling was different from that of the Spirogyra attack.
