    As he walked in silence, he thought to himself, I don’t think she suspects me. But since we’re going


    to be living together. I need to be more careful”. He decided to ask Charles to add another lock to


    his room. When he reached the 60th–floor stairway, he suddenly froze. Valerie was standing in the


    doorway, looking at him. Matthew’s heart started racing. He wondered, “Didn’t she just leave!


    When did shee back! Did she see me and Charles talking downstairs?


    Valerie shed a smile and said, “Hey, Mr. Granil I just went out to grab some breakfast, but I


    didn’t know the door code. I pressed the doorbell and waited a bit, but I figured you had already


    left. Her exnation seemed to calm him down as he was still in shock.


    Matthew let out a sigh of relief secretly. She didn’t seem to have seen me and Charles together just


    now. But we better be careful in the future; he thought. He entered the password in front of her.


    Valerie had the password memorized. When she walked into the house, she put the breakfast on


    the table one by one. Not sure about Matthew’s hiking, she got a few extra servings, giving him


    plenty of options. There were breakfast wraps, pancakes, toast, hashbrowns, and more.


    is this?” Matthew asked, pointing at something yellow and round


    “This It’s an eggwich. You’ve never had one before?” She smiled and started to exin what an


    egg wich was “It’s got two fried eggs on the top and bottom, with a juicy grilled beef pantry in


    between. Kinda like a burger, but with eggs She loved egg wiches, so she bought two.


    When she took a bite, oil stained the wrapping paper Matthew couldn’t help but frown.


    Is it just her, or do all the ordinary people eat junk food for breakfast? he thought.


    Matthew didn’t want to look suspicious, so he picked up the breakfast wrap. It looked not so oily.


    But then he found a piece of fried mushroom in it ‘Seriously? Do I have to eat this he thought in


    disbelief.


    When Matthew was hesitating, Valerie asked in confusion, “What’s wrong. Mr. Grant? I understand


    you haven’t had egg wiches before, but breakfast wraps are prettymon.”


    Matthew had a strict diet habit for years. He only saw his staff eating this.


    For breakfast, he would have half a sandwich and a cup of ck coffee. For lunch and dinner, he


    would have low–fat meat. He never ate high–carb, high–fat food and stuck to his gym routine.


    He held himself to extremely high standards. He believed that a person who couldn’t control his own


    body was more likely to have poor self- control in other areas of his life.


    But he was only a driver now. If I don’t eat this, I might give myself away. I can’t believe I have to


    put up with that Mini and thist Never mind. It won’t hurt to eat just one, he thought.

    But after one bite, he was surprised by how good it tasted. It was not as dry as he expected.


    Instead, it was crispy


    yummy. He felt a line better.


    When he saw thettes on the table, he was relieved, thinking. Finally, something I can have.


    Although he usually didn’t like milk in his coffee, was better than nothing.


    He took a sip, and his face twisted immediately. It was nothing like coffee with its strange taste. His


    good breeding would not allow him to spit it out, so he allowed it painfully. His face darkened. “What


    is this?”


    “Latte,” answered Valerie.


    Matthew was lost for words Seriously? It can’t be ate. The taste, ught Matthew thought


    Valerie suddenly realized. “You don’t like pumpkin spicete? What a slumel
