    Chapter 548 The Rival Coming to Her


    “I see.” Skyler didn’t pay much attention to her words, as the fragrance of food hanging in the air caught


    his attention instead. “You’ve cooked? It smells amazing!”


    “It was Young Master Matthew. He asked the One Piece Restaurant to make them for me.” “It’s from One


    Piece Restaurant? Tsk! What a heartless man Matt is! He has never ordered food for me from that


    restaurant.”


    Hearing those words, Shirley had no choice but to be courteous. “There is too much food, and I can’t


    finish all of it by myself. Young Master Skyler, why don’t you join me?”


    Meanwhile, Skyler immediately epted the offer. “Sure! I’m kind of hungry at the moment.” There was


    no answer from Shirley because she was taken aback by his response. I’m just being polite. Are the


    wealthy ones always taking things for granted?


    She left the thought to herself withoutmenting on his behavior. After that, she led him to the dining


    room and brought over a set of cutleries for him.


    As Skyler picked up his spoon and was ready to eat, Shirley suddenly stated, “Young Master Skyler, you


    haven’t washed your hands.”


    As he was ustomed to living his own way for his whole life, Skyler perked his head up in surprise


    when he heard her reminder.

    Shirley was holding his gaze as he watched her. Her casual outfit and the warmly decorated room gave


    off a leisurely mood.


    Skyler had never experienced such a feeling before.


    It was as if at that moment, the void inside his heart since long ago was filled by something he couldn’t


    make sense of, and the feeling had fulfilled his mind in a split second.


    After he spent years in a haze, he felt truly at home for the first time.


    It was different from back at the vi, where his family and he would gather around the dining table and


    dine in silence as the servants served them at the side.


    It was always quiet and had no traces ofughter around the table, which only frustrated him more.


    “Alright. Where’s the bathroom?”


    “There.” Shirley pointed in that direction.


    Skyler washed his hands in the bathroom. It was only after he stepped out of the bathroom that he


    noticed the decorations in Shirley’s apartment.


    She was keeping the small living room tidy and organized. There was a bunch of white roses in the vase


    on the coffee table.


    What a coincidence! White roses are my favorite flower.


    “You like roses?” Skyler asked as he lifted his chin to gesture over the flowers on the coffee table in the


    living room.


    Shirley answered with a smile, “Right. White roses symbolize pure love.”


    His eyes were shining at her words as a thought shed through his mind. We think alike.


    He joined her back at the dining table and the two ate in silence.


    Even though Skyler and Shirley met often, it was the first time the pair had a meal together. Moreover, as


    their first meal together was happening in her home, Shirley was a little restrained.


    She served herself some food and nibbled on them. To make it less awkward between them, she


    initiated the conversation.


    She wasn’t hiding her admiration of him between her words.


    After all, other than being a yboy, Skyler was a man with many strong suits.


    His capability, friendliness, and sense of humor were the perfectbination to leave a good impression


    on others.


    Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.


    Shirley put the cutlery on the table as she pushed her chair back. “I’ll answer the door.”


    Monica had reached out to Shirley before Skyler’s visit, so Shirley was expecting Monica at the door.


    After all, it was already half an hour since theyst talked, and Monica was supposed to be here at any


    time.


    She wasn’t expecting a woman in light makeup would stand outside her apartment when she opened the


    door. The woman with shoulder-length ck hair was wearing a ck baker boy cap.


    Her crop top and the pair of cks were in ck, too. A gold chain was hanging down from the side of


    her top and buckled on the waistband, while her feet were d in a pair of sneakers.


    The outfits set off the reddish tone of her porcin skin and her slender waist. Besides, it was obvious


    she had abs.


    “You must be Shirley. Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Sofia Green.” The woman introduced herself as


    she brushed past Shirley and walked into the living room.
