Chapter 7 Cold dishes

At the thought of this, Quin's gaze turns a little strange and her expression changed.

Upon seeing this, Lily said, "Quin, you are really on the wrong side in this matter. Perhaps, you should apologize to Doctor Chen."

"Apologize?!" This word appeared in Quin's mind. Quin was suddenly filled by an urge; she felt like getting up to chase after Fade. Quin wanted to apologize to Fade and to ask for his forgiveness.

However, as soon as the thought surfaced in her mind, it was held back by Quin.

Due to her personality and identity, Quin could not see herself doing that.

In the end, Quin could only sigh softly and said, "I know. I am indeed at fault. The punishment for Fade will be canceled immediately."

"But, as for Doctor Chen..." Lily reminded her.

Quin replied in a serious tone, "Manager Wei, I have something else to do. You may go first!"

Lily paused for a moment, then nodded and left, "Yes, President Lin."

In the large office, there was only Quin now. Quin sat quietly on the executive chair, her mind was in a mess. "I was wrong. I have to apologize to that man. But, but..."

Quin's mind was running wild before she suddenly remembered what Fade had told her at noon, "Fade had told me that Secretary Qin, is this really-"

Quin's expression became gloomy instantly.

After her working hour ended, Quin did not work overtime, unlike how she usually would; she chose to return home on time instead.

Quin sat on the sofa, thinking of how to face and apologize to Fade when he came back.

Perhaps, it was a very simple thing for most people, but for Quin, it was something very difficult.

"Maybe, it's more meaningful to prove it with action!" Quin was not good with her words. Suddenly, Quin thought of a method to apologize to Fade. Quin rushed into the kitchen and said to Housekeeper Wong, who was preparing dinner, "Auntie Wong, you may have a rest today. I'll prepare for dinner."

"Ah, this-" Housekeeper Wong was a little surprised, "What's the matter, Miss?"

"No, nothing. I just want to have a try!" Quin tried to cover it up.

Two hours later, Quin, who had messed up the kitchen, finally made six dishes with the help of Housekeeper Wong.

Quin felt uneasy when she placed these six bad-looking dishes on the table. At the same time, Quin looked out of the door expectantly, waiting for Fade's return.

It was getting dark and it had been three hours since their working hours ended but Fade was not back yet. Quin couldn't help but start pondering about Fade's whereabouts.

"Why hasn't Fade come back yet? Was he involved in an accident on the way back?"

"Or, was he hurt badly by me, so he left directly?"

............ ............ ............ ............ ........

Half an hour later, Fade still had not returned yet.

Housekeeper Wong looked at Quin, whose face was full of disappointment, and said, "Miss, why don't you eat first? When Sir comes back, I'll prepare a meal for him."

Although Housekeeper Wong was very curious about Sir's sudden appearance in this household, she was very familiar with Quin's character and knew too well not to ask much. Housekeeper Wong just vaguely guessed that Quin's abnormal behavior today must have something to do with Mister.

Quin looked at the completely darkened sky outside. She sighed softly and whispered in her heart, "Has he really left?"

"Housekeeper Wong, I don't have an appetite. I'll just skip dinner tonight.", Quin then stood up and went upstairs to her room.

"Miss, this-" Housekeeper Wong sighed, her face full of distress and helplessness.

After another half an hour, Housekeeper Wong looked at the dishes that had already been heated twice. She could not help sighing and was ready to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.

Just then, the sound of footsteps was heard coming from the door. It was Fade who had came back.

"Sir, you have finally come back, "Housekeeper Wong hurriedly greeted him. Housekeeper Wong saw Fade sweating profusely and asked in surprise, "Sir, what has happened to you?"

Fade gave Housekeeper Wong a smile but he did not explain further, "I'm fine."

In fact, Fade himself could not explain this situation either. After Fade got off work today, he realized that he did not know the way back home.

The night before yesterday, when he had just arrived at Bay City, Fade had spent the night in the hotel with Quin. Yesterday, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together before going back to Quin's villa. This morning, they went to the company together.

Quin had been the one driving for the past two days, and he just rode along.

However, Quin drove back home from the company straight after work today. Fade was alone and he did not know where the villa was located at.

Finally, with a vague memory of the location of the villa in his mind and as a luxury neighborhood was not very common in Bay City, Fade finally found the villa after asking the locals. He was now covered in sweat after walking a long journey back.

However, it wouldn't matter now. After all, Fade had decided to leave after tonight.

"Sir, please wash your face. I'll heat up the dishes for you, "Housekeeper Wong said.

Fade nodded. When Fade saw the food on the table, he was stunned. "Auntie Wong, did you cook this?"

Fade had tasted Housekeeper Wong's cooking yesterday. Even if it was not comparable to a five-star hotel dish, the cooking skills of ordinary restaurants were definitely not as good as that of Housekeeper Wongs. However, the dishes on the table now, be it the appearance or other aspects, were far different from yesterday.

Housekeeper Wong picked up the dishes and explained, "Sir, the dishes today were not cooked by me. It was Miss who had cooked them."

"What? Quin made them?" Fade was really shocked. Fade had always assumed the president who had a cold personality in the eye of the public would not know how to cook.

Housekeeper Wong continued, "Sir, I don't know what happened to Miss today. She looked distraught when she came back from work. She even insisted on preparing dinner by herself. It took a lot of effort for her to make dinner, but you didn't come back. Miss waited here for a long time and didn't eat anything as she was waiting for you. She just went upstairs without eating."

"What, this is for me." Fade's eyes widened and looked incredibly surprised. He couldn't help but look up and stare at Quin's room.

At this moment, Fade's heart was in turmoil, "Could it be because of what happened this afternoon? That's why she..."

"Sir, please wait for a moment. I'll heat up the dishes for you," Housekeeper Wong said.

Fade quickly reached out and grabbed Housekeeper Wong before saying, "Housekeeper Wong, it's fine, I'll just eat it."

"But the food has already turned cold," Housekeeper Wong said.

"Never mind. "Fade smiled, picked up the cold food, and started to devour them.

Although the food was cold and they did not taste that good, Fade felt the warmth from them.

That night, Fade slept soundly.
