Semua Bab The Billionaire's Plump Chef : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Marie Sue I must have been too tired because I slept through most of the ride home. It was when the car stopped and Jordan tapped me on my hand that I opened my eyes and realized that we had gotten home."I'm sorry I overworked you," he said. "I just didn't want to let you go easily."I smiled and looked outside. "What time is it, Jordan?""9 p.m.," he said. “A few minutes past 9 p.m.”I yawned. 9 p.m. was my usual sleep time."I'm sorry I slept off," I said, looking at him. "I'm not usually much of a help whenever I'm sleepy."Looking at him in the car, even in the dark, he looked so handsome, especially with his large glass frame on. And as I sat there in front of him, I wondered how I had managed to compress the feelings I had for him all those weeks.He reached forward and held my hand. "I just want to remind you again that I really love you, Marie Sue. And I know that you probably have heard contrary opinions about what my feelings may be for you, but this is the only truth."I

JordanWe sat in the silence of the car for what seemed like hours, not saying anything. I could tell she was processing her emotions, and I was wondering what had gone on between her and Mr. Xing again.When I saw the notification of her sending her live location to me, and her location showed her at X Holdings, I knew she had gone to meet Mr. Xing. I knew she had gone there because she was trying to get her father's company back from him.But from her reaction right now, I could tell it had not gone well. I stretched my hand toward her and squeezed her hand gently, offering her succor as best as I could.I didn't want to tell her that I knew why she had gone to meet Mr. Xing. I didn't want to seem as though I was snooping on her. I was going to wait for her to tell me what had happened. Until then, I was just going to sit beside her and comfort her in any way she wanted.She sniffed loudly, and then she looked at me.“I was trying to get my father's company,” she said.Then she turn

Marie Sue The case of the poisoned boy was confusing to me. But what was even more confusing was the quality assurance report. All of those accusations against me were not true, and it was just once that I had defied the rules. And even then, I had taken precautions. It was clear that Jada had written a lot of lies against me because she didn't like me. But still, I was suspended, and because I was suspended, I had to go home.I sighed as I walked down the corridor towards the kitchen. Perhaps today was not a good day to come to work. I just wanted to go home. Maybe if I could cry, I would, and watch a movie, and maybe the world would get better. But first, I wanted to have a word with Jada, because it was obvious that she was cooking up lies against me, and it had to stop.She was usually in her small cubicle, which was just beside the kitchen. I walked over to her.“Can I have a word with you briefly, Jada?” I asked.She looked up at me. “What is this about?”I stepped in and close

ArnoldLizzie. I didn't think she had anything to do with it, and I was particularly unhappy that she appeared on both lists.The day the food poisoning happened to be the day she had caused some drama on the administrative floor about the pregnancy. I could see exactly why she would want to sabotage the company, but it was not enough evidence. If I could read Jordan's mind, I was sure she would be at the top of the list.Involving Kylie in this might inadvertently lead her to finding out that Lizzie and I were still in contact. I had to make sure I stayed throughout the investigations.“We will thoroughly investigate these three people,” Jordan continued, “looking at the CCTV cameras to see how they handled the food throughout that day and possibly bringing them in for questioning. We would also run some background checks on them to ensure this is not intentional sabotage.”I nodded. “That sounds like a good plan.”“We also can't rule out that the poisoning was due to the customer's

KylieI read the notification for the board meeting again to be sure that I was seeing correctly. The meeting had not been shifted, contrary to what I had thought. I thought Jordan would have pushed to have the meeting shifted because of his so-called girlfriend, but it seemed the meeting was going to be held on the scheduled day.I looked through the plans for the meeting, nodding in agreement with everything until I got to a particular name: Kennedy.I stopped, my heart pounding in my chest. Kennedy had been nominated by the chairman for Head Chef of Kensington Food.I looked again. This had to be a mistake. I had put Kennedy up for transfer to another branch. Why did Jordan go ahead and nominate him as Head Chef?“Oh shit,” I cursed. I needed to find a way to ensure that this was changed before the day of the board meeting.I picked up my phone and called Arnold. I listened to the ringing sound, and the call disconnected without him picking up. I bit my lip hard, swallowing the cur
