”Okay. I finally have some free time and have nothing to do. The fridge was stocked, so I just thought of making something simple. Go have a seat first, I’m almost done!”
Joel Foster nodded his head and said, “I’ll set the table.”
Lucy Katz did not refuse his offer.
He took the cutleries and walked out.
Soon after, the soup was ready.
Lucy took a big bowl of soup and walked out. She placed the dishes on the table and served up the rice. They then started eating.
Her cooking skills were good, even though her technique was rusty, the dishes she made were still delicious.
Joel was happy and had 2 bowls of rice.
After lunch, he rushed to wash the dishes.
Lucy did not want to stop him and let him be.
Alas, she only realized that she had overestimated this Young Master’s ability to do household chores after he got to the kitchen.
“Smash!”
The sound of a plate falling on the floor came from the kitchen.
“What happened?”
Lucy immediately ran over.
Joel hurriedly waved at Lucy and said, “Nothing. It’s fine.”
As he said this, he bent over and picked up the broken pieces of the plate.
Lucy’s eyelids twitched and she quickly shouted, “Don’t! Don’t use your hands...”
Before she finished her sentence, she could already see a small cut on Joel’s finger.
Blood came out of the wound.
Lucy’s expression changed and she ran over to his side.
“What are you doing?”
Joel saw the small cut on his finger and frowned.
He hid his hands behind his back.
“I’m fine. I didn’t cut myself.”
However, this situation did not escape Lucy’s eyes.
She pulled his arm over and said anxiously, “You still want to pretend?”
Joel saw her fierce look, paused, and obediently gave her his hand.
Lucy held his hand and felt her heart ache when she saw the cut on his finger.
“Does it hurt? Wait here, I’ll get the first aid kit.”
She turned around to go out after she said this.
Before Lucy took a step forward, the man pulled her back.
A second later, her body was wrapped in his warm embrace.
Joel hugged her and said, “It’s alright. It doesn’t hurt.”
Lucy heard this and was about to go crazy from being too anxious.
“Nonsense! How could such a big cut not hurt? Stop messing around. Let me go get the first aid kit.”
A burst of deep laughter could be heard from behind her.
Lucy saw that Joel could still laugh in this situation and got furious.
Joel loosened his grip and turned her around so that she was facing him.
He laughed and said, “Lu, I’m so happy that you care for me.”
Lucy was stunned.
She never thought that he would care about this.
Lucy did not know if she should laugh or get angry.
“You make it sound like I didn’t care about you before.”
Joel pressed his lips together and did not say a word.
She noticed his downcasted eyes and suddenly understood what he meant. She then burst out laughing.
Joel saw her reaction and was certain that she was laughing at him.
His face blackened.
Lucy quickly waved her hand and said, “I didn’t mean it like that. As they say, everyone has their strengths. Just do what you’re good at. As for other things, it doesn’t matter if you know how or not, you won’t need to do these anyway.”
What she said was true.
Both Joel and herself were busy people.
It was already rare for them to cook at home, let alone have time for these menial things.
Joel’s mood lifted after he heard Lucy’s explanation.
He waited for her to finish cleaning up and they went upstairs together.
They took an afternoon nap because they did not have much to do.
After Lucy woke up, Susan called her to inform her of the itinerary the day after tomorrow.
Lucy did not have any requirements except for the duration of the shoot. She would like it to be done in 3 days.
That was because she had to pick Mama Katz from the hospital 3 days later.
Susan agreed to communicate this with the team. After they confirmed the schedule, they could depart.
Lucy departed for Country M 2 days later.
They were going for a sophisticated luxury fashion look for this advertisement, so the location of the shoot was at a high-end building.
Lucy got there one night ago, but due to some lighting issues, they could not do the shoot that night and had to wait for the next day.
When she got to the hotel at night, she sent Joel a text to let him know that she had arrived safely.
She thought that she would get his reply quickly, but after a long time, there was still no message from him.
Lucy stared at her phone and frowned.
Even though she felt it was odd, she thought that perhaps he was just busy, so she did not give it another thought.
After resting for one night, the shoot began the next day.
