Chapter 743 Slower Than Others


    Miranda personally cooked a table full of dishes. All of the dishes were visually appealing, fragrant,


    and delicious. They looked just as enticing as the ones served in restaurants.


    She removed her apron. Her face was flushed from the heat of the stove, making herplexion


    look even better.


    She asked Tobias about what had happenedst night, somewhat disappointed when Tobias didn''t


    come upstairs to pay her a visit.


    That had been her chance to impress all her rtives. Even the old, run-down house would have


    shone brightly because of that.


    Tobias chose not to answer. He was indifferent toward Miranda, yet he still showed her respect as


    she was older than him.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    He still respected Miranda much even though she had never acted like an elder.


    Miranda''s smile faded when she saw Tobias remain silent. She was fully aware of the situation in


    her heart.


    Tobias had always looked down on her family, including all her rtives and even herself.


    Miranda had cooked Skr''s favorite pot roast. She had learned about it during a conversation with


    her former neighbor.


    Skr''s grandmother, Meredith, had lived frugally, relying on a meager monthly pension to support


    both herself and Skr.


    Whenever these thoughts crossed Miranda''s mind, her heart would wrench in pain. She regretted


    giving up everything for love and believed that her self-imposed imprisonment could make Thomas


    feel guilty toward her.


    It wasn''t until she went through those experiences that she came to know that men are heartless.


    No matter how much she sacrificed, it amounted to nothing in return.


    Pot roast was Skr''s favorite dish. However, since there was usually not much meat avable at


    home, she mostly had cabbage and potato stew.


    Miranda gazed at Skr with pain and said, “You should eat more. Look at you. You''re as thin as a


    rake. Women look better with a little more weight. Don''t you agree, Tobias?”


    Tobias chuckled and replied, “Being too fat is also not good. It makes a person look sloppy and


    foolish.”


    Previously, Skr had no idea about Tobias'' aesthetic sense, but now she knew and could use


    Saorise as a reference.


    Saorise''s position as a brand ambassador was firmly established, and her photo was disyed on


    thergest LED screen in themercial za.


    Whenever Skr thought about Saorise being personally chosen by Tobias as the brand


    ambassador, she felt a mix of emotions in her heart.


    However, if she was to express her thoughts, it would make her appear petty and overly sensitive.


    Miranda refrained from discussing sensitive topics during the meal, and she didn''t push Tobias


    about marriage either. Skr felt somewhat relieved.


    After the meal, Skr had originally nned to stay a bit longer. However, Miranda received a


    phone call and left hastily.


    Noticing Miranda changing her clothes multiple times before leaving, Skr already had a rough


    idea in her mind. Miranda was surely going to meet a man.


    The next day was the second day of the release of The Bad of 1978. Unexpectedly, all the


    cinemas under Ford Group had drastically increased the screening time for the movie, and it even


    surpassed that of Pretty Detective.


    It was just yesterday when the managers of Ford Group had gotten into a heated argument with the


    director. Now, they were likely to get a p in the face.


    Skr only learned about the news in the afternoon. Her 2Gwork was always slower than


    others.


    As soon as Skr saw the news, her first thought was whether the director''s tearful plea on Twitter


    had yielded results. After calming down and thinking it over, she couldn''t understand why it was


    specifically the cinemas under the control of Ford Group. She began to suspect that Tobias had


    done so for her.


    The matter caused a great stir and discussion online. Everyone was puzzled and couldn''t figure out


    the reason behind it.


    Skr waited for Tobias toe downstairs. He had more free time than usual during this


    Christmas season, and he hardly answered any calls from thepany.


    Skr wasn''t used to Tobias being in this vacation mode. Usually, he would have received an


    average of one or two phone calls during a meal.


    Tobias cast a nce at Skr, who was sitting on the couch holding a small basin. She seemed lost


    in her own world.


    He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out two coins. He then threw the coins into the basin


    that Skr was holding. The next moment, Skr raised her head.
