Chapter 108


    Isabe felt her heart skip a beat as she noticed Selena’s gaze. She wanted


    to reach out in the direction of the microwave out of reflex, but her rationale


    stopped her. I can’t make a move now. Otherwise, I’ll give myself away with a


    clumsy move.


    Selena looked at her with sarcasm in her eyes. Then, she spun around and


    mercilessly opened the microwave with force. Then, she looked at Isabe


    with gleeful eyes. It was as if she had gotten some huge ckmail material


    on Isabe. “Goodness, what is this?”


    “Takeaway food,” Isabe answered.


    Although she was being candid, Selena covered her mouth in surprise and


    raised her voice, saying, “Aren’t you going to cook for Mr. Frost? Why did you


    buy takeaway food when it’s not hygienic?”


    The instant those words left her lips, Seth slithered to the entrance of the


    kitchen like a ghost, ncing at Isabe icily.


    Isabe shrugged nonchntly as she replied without even a hint of fear or


    awkwardness in her eyes, “It’s just as you said, Mr. Frost’s time is precious. So, I


    can’t experiment with my cooking on him. Of course, I have to prepare a


    backup-n.” She paced to the side and took out the ribs, soaking them in


    water pretentiously. Then, she raised her head and lectured Selena lightly,


    “Being a secretary means that you should always have a backup n. Don’t


    be too overconfident, and always prioritize thepany’s interests.”


    Selena put on a stiff smile in the face of Isabe’s sudden reprimand. “You


    have a point, Isabe.” Then, she turned to look at Seth and smiled sweetly.


    “Please wait a while, Mr. Frost. We’ll be ready soon. There’s still time, and you


    probably won’t have to eat the takeaway food.”


    Isabe swiveled her head and rolled her eyes several times behind her


    sunnies. Seth didn’t answer Selena and simply left the battlefield


    expressionlessly.


    A few seconds after he was gone, Selena tossed aside the wooden spat


    she was holding and gave Isabe a look of contempt, whispering, “Everyone


    in thepany is his employee, and you’re not the only outstanding one.


    What makes you so proud of yourself?”


    Isabe simply leaned against the counter as she regarded Selena with


    amusement. “So, your aim isn’t to be his employee but his homemaker… Am l


    right?” she said, shifting her gaze to Selena’s hand that was holding the


    panhandle.


    There wasn’t even a shard of guilt in Selena’s eyes as she tilted her chin


    proudly. In fact, she even seemed a little smug. “Just because you can’t do it


    doesn’t mean that I can’t.” After that, she dropped the greens into the pan,


    turned up the heat, and tossed them around the pan expertly. In just a few


    moves, the food was ready.


    The grilled vegetables looked crisp and juicy, thanks to her perfect control of


    the heat. Honestly, even Isabe wanted to apud her for her skills. She’s


    such a great cook but chose to be a secretary instead. What a waste of


    talent.


    Selena became even more smug when she noticed the genuine admiration


    in Isabe’s eyes. Then, she ced the ready dish into the food warmer


    before shoving Isabe aside because she found her annoying.


    Isabe dly made way for her, observing the woman cooking from a safe


    corner. When she saw that Selena had taken care of the ribs and meat, she


    secretly took out her cell phone.


    Selena thought that Isabe hadpletely given up, and her contempt for


    her deepened. Thus, she sped up her pace. Therefore, she easily finished


    whipping up two meat dishes and two vegetables in less than 40 minutes.


    When Isabe saw that the schnitzel was almost ready, she smirked. Just


    then, someone knocked on the office door outside the kitchen.


    Ellie walked in. “Mr. Frost, is Selena here?”


    Selena quickly turned off the hood and went out in an apron the instant she


    heard someone calling for her. “I’m here.”


    Ellie shot her a look as she shook the file in her hand. The expression on her


    face was anything but kind as she spoke, “There are two meeting


    proceedings that need your confirmation because we don’t have the right to


    do that.”


    Some proceedings could only be signed off by the apanying executive


    secretary. As Selena enjoyed being indispensable, she didn’t give it much


    thought and turned to Seth. “Mr. Frost, excuse me for a minute.”


    Seth didn’t even look at her and merely grunted in response. Then, she


    returned to the kitchen. Once she took the apron off her person, she nced

    at Isabe, deliberately raised her voice, and said, “The schnitzel still needs


    some time. Please don’t touch it since you don’t know how to cook. Do wait for


    me to return before doing anything.”


    Isabe smiled. “Sure.” Does she think that I’ve never had schnitzel before?


    Any longer, and this meat will be burned.


    Isabe expertly hid all her emotions as she watched Selena leave the


    kitchen. She scanned the area and clicked her tongue repeatedly. She was a


    little embarrassed to im someone else’s work just like that.


    So, she removed the schnitzel from the pan, retrieved the remaining three


    dishes from the food warmer, and ced them all on the tray. That looks


    amazing, she thought. The boiled potatoes were prepared by her earlier, and


    Selena had no part in it.


    “Oh my, the potatoes are so pretty,” she said softly as she stood by the pot.


    I’m such a genius! Then, she started serving the food.


    Seth was typing on the keyboard when she appeared with the food like a


    professional cook. He set hisptop aside with a quirked brow and leaned


    back, crossing his arms across his chest. “Did you cook all of this?”


    She took off the apron and feigned weariness as she stretched out her limbs.


    “It’s my first time cooking something soplicated, so my skills are far from


    perfect. Please give it a try.”


    Seth had a smirk ying on his lips as he stared at the potatoes. Then, he


    arched an eyebrow and inquired, “Did you also cook the potatoes?”


    She straightened her back,pletely filled with confidence the instant he


    brought up the potatoes. “Yes.”


    He snorted lightly as he picked up the fork and stirred all the food around a


    little. “Are you sure that you prepared everything?”


    Isabe remainedposed. “Selena helped me out a little.”


    Seth licked his lips and raised his eyes at her with an almost unnoticeable


    grin. “I’ve never noticed that you’re so… talented.”
