    Samantha was freshening up when she suddenly remembered something. Gabrie was already all prepared and standing at the door. She was waiting for Samantha to head to Matthew''s office together.


    She put down her foundation and smiled while looking at Gabrie. "Mrs. Leon, why don''t we have lunch first..."


    Gabrie had no idea what Samantha was nning. She looked at Samantha in bewilderment. "Samantha, you should go to the office to see Matthew. What if Lucy goes there first?”


    Samantha helped Gabrie to the couch calmly.


    "Don''t be anxious, Mrs. Leon. I heard Matthew mention Lucy just now. He said that Lucy would be going to his office for lunchter. Matthew looked quite happy. It must be because Lucy has made him lunch...


    "How about if we prepared lunch for Matthew too? We can''t lose out to Lucy! That way, Lucy will be smart enough to back out of this rtionship. Isn''t this a good idea?"


    Gabrie''s eyes lit up. She smiled and patted Samantha''s hand. "If only Matthew could be with you, Samantha. It would be my biggest fortune!" When it came to making lunch, it gave Gabrie a headache.


    "Do you know how to cook, Samantha? I have no idea how to cook anything. I can''t help you with it..."


    Gabrie had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth. There was always someone to service her when it came to food and even buying clothes. She did not know how to cook at all.


    She was the kind of woman who never needed to lift a finger to do anything. It would be more helpful for her to give Samantha encouraging words than help cook anything. It was more practical for Gabrie as well. She would end up blowing up the kitchen if she tried to cook.


    Samantha knew this as well and hade prepared.


    "Don''t worry, Mrs. Leon. I have some cooking skills. When I was studying overseas, I used to make my own meals. Even though my food doesn''t look or taste as good as those served in five-star restaurants, it still tastes as good as home-cooked meals."


    Gabrieughed in surprise. "I didn''t know you could cook, Samantha!"


    Samantha replied with a smile, "Of course, I know how to cook, Mrs. Leon. It''s a necessary skill when studying overseas!"N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    "What do you know how to cook?"


    "Well, how about if I made Matthew some mushroom soup and pasta? If it isn''t enough, I can make him a steak too. What do you think?" "That sounds wonderful!"


    Gabrie smiled widely at Samantha.


    It did not matter to Gabrie if a woman could cook because the Leons had servants who could help out with food and take care of their daily needs. The servants would remind them to have their meals when it was time to eat.


    However, it was a bonus for Gabrie that Samantha could cook besides being able to help Matthew in his career. Gabrie smiled while grabbing some nuts on the table.


    "You should go ahead and get busy in the kitchen, Samantha. I''ll wait for you here. We''ll go over to Matthew''s office once you''re done and have a meal with him."


    Her words hold a deeper meaning.


    Samantha knew that meant Gabrie was on her side.


    She had support whereas Lucy did not. What did Lucy have to fight with her?


    Samantha was in a great mood, and her moves got faster in the kitchen. It was not long before the kitchen was filled with the delicious smell of food.
