Chapter 295: Apologizing Is More Than Just Words
"Thank you, Faye." Rachel Sherman was very moved, tears welling in her eyes but stubbornly refusing to fall.
"You’re welcome, we’re best friends forever," Faye Turner said to her. "No matter what happens, I’ll protect you."
In the room, Faye was chatting with her good friend, and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly relaxed and pleasant.
In the study next door, the warm yellow light shone on the neatly arranged bookshelves.
Adrian Lancaster, dressed in a white bathrobe, was responding to an email on the computer, his fingers tapping elegantly on the keyboard like a prince playing the piano.
After replying to the email, he picked up the whiskey beside the mouse, took a graceful sip, and found himself lost in thought.
Why would he break his principles for her?
To Adrian Lancaster, accepting an exclusive interview was a waste of time, something he despised and strongly resisted.
And also—
The Prestige Group doesn’t need any promotion, much less need to engage in these superficial activities.
The name Adrian Lancaster alone is the best business card.
Yet today, he had been tricked by that girl Faye Turner and locked inside, which for Adrian Lancaster was a humiliation in his life.
He found himself angry at the moment, but afterwards, he couldn’t blame her.
What was happening?
Especially when she kept apologizing to him over and over, he softened.
Instead, he blamed himself for being stubborn, questioning why he hadn’t replied to her messages on WeChat.
He raised his head and drank another sip of whiskey.
In fact, Adrian Lancaster hadn’t realized that when he had already given up his principles for someone else.
He was already in love with the other person.
In the bedroom next door, Faye Turner ended her call with Rachel and went downstairs to the kitchen, "Miss Lane, do we have any dumpling wrappers?"
"Ma’am, do you want to make dumplings?"
"I want to make dumplings for Adrian myself, he really likes them."
"We do," Miss Lane told her, "I’ll prepare them. What filling would you like to make for him?"
"Mushroom, corn, and lean meat."
"Alright."
And so, Faye Turner tied on an apron and helped with the preparations in the kitchen, even though Miss Lane told her several times not to help.
But she just wanted to do it herself, "Oh come on, just let me do it, I really want to make them myself."
As a woman, Miss Lane immediately understood her intentions.
"Alright, alright, you make them. Once you’ve finished and they’re cooked, I’ll go upstairs and call him," Miss Lane said with a smile.
"Okay."
After half an hour, Faye Turner had cooked the dumplings for Adrian Lancaster. They were steaming and fragrant, with a sprinkle of green onions in the soup, making it even more appetizing.
"Miss Lane, please prepare a pair of chopsticks for me. I’ll take them up to him," Faye Turner was excited, as this was her first step in apologizing.
The suit design can wait until there’s time; she’ll make it herself then.
When Faye Turner carried a bowl of dumplings upstairs and walked into the study.
The man sitting at the desk caught the tempting aroma and looked at her with a bit of surprise.
"See, apologies aren’t just about words; they’ve been put into action," Faye Turner came to his desk, gently placed the bowl down, "These are the dumplings I just made for you, want to try them?"
Adrian Lancaster was slightly taken aback, looked at her, then at the bowl beside his hand, filled with neatly wrapped dumplings that looked very full.
He hadn’t eaten dumplings in some time and found himself missing them a bit, swallowing involuntarily.
She handed out the chopsticks, and he reached out to take them, "Thank you."
Faye Turner beamed with a radiant smile, "Then I won’t disturb you anymore, remember to bring the bowl down later!" Having said that, she turned and left.
And Adrian Lancaster watched that figure leave, thinking, it’s time to take this girl for a prenatal check-up.
Early the next morning.
Adrian Lancaster, who never accepted any media interviews, the aloof and mysterious President Lancaster, not only accepted an exclusive interview but also talked about his feelings at the end!
This is truly newsworthy!!
And his response about emotions, during the interview, was wildly re-shared online, causing a sensation!
