Saying that, he took her hand and instantly pour cold water on the burned spot.
The coldness eased the pain. Natalia said quietly, "It's okay. It's not that bad. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Archie still looked quite grim and examined her hand carefully. Though it was not swollen, it was still kind of red. It must hurt a lot though it was not that bad.
He felt regretful and pulled her over to sit on the desk that was farthest from the grill, "Don't go near that grill. Tell me what you wanna eat and Stephen will make it for you."
Stephen didn't have many talents but he was awesome at grilling. It was his idea to have a BBQ party tonight.
Natalia held his hand and said, "Why are you so nervous. I'm fine."
Archie still looked very gloomy.
Natalia puckered her lips, "Okay okay, I was wrong. Don't bother Max and the others. They are having a good time."
Archie looked towards them and saw that they were having fun over there. They were all in their twenties and were still acting like little kids.
He hummed coldly, "Childish!"
Natalia tried not to laugh. She stood up and held his hand. They sat back by the grill and she said, "Stop judging those love birds. What do you wanna eat? I'll make some for you."
Unexpectedly, the man took the cook from her hand, "Step aside. I'll do the cooking."
Natalia was kind of surprised but she still listened to him, "You know how to do it?"
The man glanced at her, "Why would this be difficult? It's not rocket science."
Natalia didn't believe him.
But the truth was that intelligence could determine a lot of things. Though it was Archie's first time to grill and he didn't do well at the beginning, he began doing well at the third time and got better and better after that.
Natalia couldn't stop eating and giving him compliments, "Oh my god, if you don't wanna be a chairman, just open a BBQ stand. You'll definitely make a lot of money form it."
Archie was speechless.
How sad it would be if the chairman of the McCarthy Properties had to open a BBQ stand?
He gave her a stare and said, "Just eat it."
Natalia couldn't stop eating and she fed him a bite occasionally.
Although he learned how to grill, he still didn't like this kind of oily food. If it weren't for Max, he wouldn't agree to eat this for dinner.
The smell drew the two men from distance, and Max shouted, "Wow, is big sis barbecuing? It smells good."
They didn't find out it was Archie until they came over.
The two of them was absolutely shocked. As for Natalia, she had oil all over her mouth.
Max and Stephen were shocked.
Archie was really spoiling her.
A man who never cooked before learned how to grill?
The power of love was beyond imagination.
Max couldn't resist the smell and went there, "Smells so good. Can I have some?"
Stephen stopped playing cool and approached him, "Me too. I want six oysters, three skewers of beef, and ten skewers of lamb."
Archie just gave them a cold look.
Then he said briefly, "Do it yourself!"
Max and Stephen didn't dare to say more.
