But Killian didn’t dwell on it for long. There were still countless critical
decisions waiting for him at the company, along with meetings stacked one after another.

She walked in confidently, placed it on his desk, and opened it to reveal a carefully
arranged meal with both meat and vegetables.
Nicole dropped onto the sofa, pouted slightly, and said, “Mr. Frost, I made this myself. You have to try it.”
Austin had tasted Nicole’s cooking before.
It wasn’t particularly good.

There was no shortage of women around him.
If he wanted, plenty would throw themselves at him.
It was Calista’s fault. She had failed to cherish what she had.
He smiled faintly at Nicole, met her expectant gaze, and picked up a bite of green beans.
They were a bit undercooked.
After two bites, Killian set his fork down.
Nicole frowned. “Mr. Frost, is it good? I

parents. I had to practice for a long time before I could make this.”
The effort alone was enough for Killian to give her some courtesy.
He replied gently, “It is all right.”
Nicole tilted her head and pressed further. “Is your ex-wife’s cooking better

Back at university, she had become a
minor celebrity as soon as she entered her first year.
Even upperclassmen like them talked about her over meals.
His roommates used to joke that pursuing Calista meant saving twenty years of effort in life.

She was gentle with everyone, helped stray animals, and actively organized charity donations.
Back then, she couldn’t even tell the difference between arugula, spinach, and kale.
And yet she had gone out of her way to enroll in cooking classes, learning step by

“Mr. Frost? Well? How is it?”
He snapped back to reality and replied calmly, “She cooked for many years.”

She was clingy, and if he didn’t comply, he had no idea what kind of scene she might
