When Ken got home, I was busy in the kitchen.

The sun had not set yet, and it was shining through the window onto a huge pile of fresh ingredients.

I held a carrot in my hand and quickly chopped it into beautiful chunks.

I was skilled with a scalpel, and I could use a kitchen knife very well.

I placed the ingredients into the pot and cooked them. A strong smell of curry spread out and filled the entire space, adding warmth to Ken’s spacious home.

Curry was delicious and simple. I was in a hurry and liked to eat curry rice in my previous life, so this was also my specialty.

A warm back was close to me. When I turned my head, I accidentally kissed the corner of his mouth. The warm taste still carried Ken’s smell.

I covered my mouth in surprise. “When… When did you get here?”

Ken smiled and shamelessly licked his lips as if he was reminiscing.

He ran his fingers through the hair beside my ear. “Your hands are so skillful, even better than a chef’s knife skills. You cook so beautifully that people will want to marry you and make you their wife for the rest of their lives.”

The sweet voice of the polygraph system proved that he meant what he said.

Did Ken want to marry me? This must be a momentary mistake. My heart beat faster. “Don’t joke with me. Wash your hands. You can prepare for dinner now.”

“I’m not joking, girlfriend. When will we get married?” Ken asked as he took out the cutlery and placed it on the table like a husband who cared about his family.

The servant beside me was surprised to see Ken, who had never been good at housework, started to do them under my influence.

I secretly cursed him for being so thorough in front of the servant. I took out the curry and said, “Boyfriend, have a taste! This will be my reward for the negotiation!”

Ken winked at me mischievously. “I thought your kiss earlier was the reward.”

I pouted angrily. “If you don’t eat it, I will give it to someone else.”

“Don’t. You made it yourself. How could you give it to someone else? I must eat it all.”

The usually elegant elite man ate like a young boy. He held my curry rice and ate it mouthful after mouthful.

I asked, “Is it delicious? You are used to eating dishes from the many chefs who cooked for you. My cooking is too simple.”

He shook his head and revealed an expression of savoring the food. “How could other people’s cooking be compared to yours? If you cooked even a boiled egg for me today, I will eat it with relish.”

Seeing how much he valued my cooking, I placed my hands on the dining table and held my face. I watched him ate quietly with a happy smile on my face.

He looked back at me with the same warm gaze.

..

One week after the new product was released, Ken’s second payment had not arrived yet, although the sales were good. As a result, the company received a lot of reminders from advertisers.

Seeing that the Flying Bird’s credit was being questioned, and Ken completely ignoring Chris, it put him in a difficult position. He lost his temper at the company many times a day.

For a moment, everyone in the company felt uneasy.

It was during such a tense period that I came to the company.

When the receptionist saw me, she was surprised for a moment. She put on a fake smile and said, “Second Lady, why are you here? The company isn’t a place for you to play. If you were looking for someone, I will help you inform them.”

Chris informed the receptionist that I was not allowed to enter the company ever since my mother disappeared.

I smiled politely and asked, “Don’t call me the Second Lady. I’m the CEO of the Flying Bird. Didn’t the CEO tell you?”
