Chapter 695


    Chapter 695 Vampire


    “Drink some soup first.” Curtis served a bowl of mushroom soup to Rayna. “It''s a bit hot, so be careful.”


    Sitting across from the couple, Yasmin halted her process of grabbing food and gazed at them.


    “You should eat first. Otherwise, the food''s going to turn cold.” Rayna stopped Curtis when he tried


    putting food on her te.


    “It''s fine.” As he spoke, he removed the shell of the shrimp in his hand.


    Yasmin nced at the shrimp in front of Rayna and then at Curtis as though she was thinking about


    something.


    Upon entering the dining room and seeing Yasmin already sitting at the dining table, Cassidy pulled the


    girl''s ear. “Why didn''t you tell me dinner was served? You''re getting bolder recently, eh?”


    “Because I thought you were busy!” Yasmin replied. “Have they left?”


    “Yes. What, do you think I''m going to ask them to stay for dinner?” Cassidy sat at the table and gulped


    as she gazed at the delicious dishes. Speedily, she grabbed a piece of chicken and ate it. “Oh, wow,


    this is great.”


    She proceeded to try a bite of every dish and praised them all.


    After surveying the room, Rayna asked, “Where''s Robin?”


    “He applied for leave. I don''t know where he went,” Curtis informed indifferently.


    In response, she raised her eyebrow and drank her soup.


    Out of nowhere, she thought about the woman who washed Furry back in the hotel. “Was the woman


    who helped wash Furry earlier a local?”


    “Robin was the one who found her. I didn''t ask him,” Curtis answered inly.


    Frowning, Rayna questioned, “Don''t you care about your subordinate at all? Aren''t you worried he may


    get into an ident? This is a long-distance trip, after all.”


    “He''s an adult, not a child.” As he spoke, he put some crab meat on her te and remarked, “There is


    crab meat on the left side of your te.”


    Cassidy and Yasmin exchanged a look and shrugged resignedly.


    Not long after, the cook returned to the dining room, holding a tray with a pretty huge pot sitting on it.


    “Be careful; it''s hot. Make some space for me, please,” she warned as she approached the couple with


    the tray.


    Promptly, Cassidy stood and grabbed the tray. “Their side of the table is full. Put it on my side. There is


    plenty of space here.”


    The cook didn''t immediately let the tray go as she nced at the cold expression on Cassidy''s


    countenance. “Okay. Be careful, then. It''s heavy.”


    “This is nothingpared to the baskets I have to carry while gathering medicinal herbs on the


    mountain.” As Cassidy spoke, she seized the tray and ced the pot, as well as a few other dishes, in


    the middle of the dining table.


    “There aren''t any more dishes?” Yasmin asked the cook with a dash of mischief in her eyes.


    “Oh, no.” Upon removing her anti-scalding gloves, she looked at them. “If... there''s nothing else, I''ll be


    heading home now.”


    Curtis was lowering his head and putting more food on Rayna''s te as he dismissed the cook. “Mhm,


    you can go back now.”


    For a moment, Rayna halted her movements and glimpsed at him before resuming her meal.


    In response to seeing that, Cassidy and Yasmin exchanged a nce and pouted.


    “Since you''re familiar with the ce, can you hire another cook tomorrow, Cassidy?” Curtis requested


    as he wiped his fingers clean with a napkin.


    That stunned Cassidy slightly. “Me?”


    “Aren''t you a local?” He then shifted his attention from her to Yasmin. “Or maybe you want to do it


    instead?”


    The girl''s eyes glinted. “What''s in it for me?”


    “You''ll get something in return for your efforts.” A warm grin was set on his countenance. “Or you two


    can work together.”


    “Tell us what we''re getting first.” Cassidy was enthused as well. “Just to make sure you''re not going to


    scam us.”


    “I''ll ask Robin to let you two know when he returns.” Upon wrapping up his sentence, Curtis continued


    dining.


    “Jeez, don''t keep us in suspense!” Promptly, she turned her attention to Rayna. “Say something,


    Isabelle!”


    Rayna raised her head and disclosed, “I don''t know what he''s going to give you two.”


    Cassidy''s hand trembled when she heard that. Without caring about how Curtis would react at all, she


    eximed, “Isabelle!”


    “I really don''t know. If I knew, I''d tell you.”


    “Fine!” Cassidy then stuffed some vegetables from a dish into her mouth and realized it was bitter.


    “What the h*ll? Why is there bitter gourd in this?”


    Hastily, she bolted out of the dining room and spat everything in her mouth into the courtyard''s


    trashcan.


    “Holy cr*p! What kind of insane person mixes bitter gourd into a dish like that?” She began using the


    water from a nearby tap to wash the bitter taste away from her tongue.


    The cook exited the living room at just the right time and heard what Cassidy said. “Remember to pay


    attention to your food while eating.”

    In response, Cassidy spewed out the water in her mouth, stood in front of the pond, and snorted coldly


    at the cook. “B*tch!”


    “You!” The cook strode toward Cassidy, intending to argue with thetter. Out of nowhere, her mother-


    inw shouted her name from the outside. “Are you inside, Ashley?”


    “I am,” Ashley Wayne responded, tidied her long hair, and left the courtyard.


    Outside the building, an old woman in in clothing was carrying a basket. When she saw Ashley, she


    asked, “Are you done?”


    “Yes.” Ashley nced at the old woman. “Let''s go.”


    Then she walked ahead of her mother-inw.


    Cassidy stood at the entrance, watching the two women leave while rolling her eyes in disdain. “I


    thought she was the epitome of wealth and beauty. Turns out she''s just an abominable vampire!”


    “Who are you talking about, Ms. Cassidy?” Robin asked as he arrived next to her because he didn''t


    see anyone in the direction she was staring at.


    His sudden voice startled her. In response, she patted her chest to calm herself down and shouted,


    “You scared the daylights out of me! Are you a cat or something?”


    He rubbed his nose and was ready to enter the courtyard.


    “Where did you go? What''s this on your shirt?” As Cassidy spoke, she plucked a strand of white fur


    from his clothes. Upon close inspection, she realized it belonged to a cat. “Did you visit a pet shop?”


    Robin grinned while scratching his head.


    The edges of her mouth twitched as she let go of the cat fur. “I can smell happy hormones.”


    Then she stepped past him and entered the house.


    Inside the living room, the two animals were ying with each other. She wasn''t paying attention as


    she ambled in, allowing Furry to leap straight into her embrace from the couch.


    “Ah! Get it off of me!” She was rooted to the spot as she stared at Robin. “Take it away from me now!


    Do it!”
