Amelia Bright can make black into white, always righteously speaking her sophomoric reasoning.
In the beginning, Farren Austin was often exasperated by her, but later on, when he got used to it, he didn’t bother with her anymore, and in his eyes, she was just a show-off, but in reality, she was very weak.
“If you don’t want to cook so much, why don’t you move back to the old house?”
Amelia Bright really froze and coughed to hide her change in attitude, “It’s not that I don’t want to cook, it’s that I’m afraid I’ll come back too late every day and leave you hungry.”
Farren Austin calmly flipped through the newspaper, “Starting tomorrow, I’ll pick you up from work.”
“Huh?”
Amelia Bright doubted her ears, “No, I don’t think so, you’re quite busy.”
“I’m on my way.”
“By way of where? You’re going to the military zone, you’re a ten minute drive west of here, I’m downtown, I’m a half hour drive east of here, and I’m going in the opposite direction, where is that?”
What the hell? It’s almost as if it’s ‘smooth’ to grandma’s house.
Farren Austin, without changing his face, said.
“So for all the trouble I went through to pick you up, you should be the one to make dinner.”
Amelia Bright was dumbfounded for the first time by his divine logic.
She felt more and more that Farren Austin was not a quiet person, he was definitely a dark, dark kind of person, full of bad things.
The next day, Amelia Bright left work and Candy walked outside the office together.
Just as we reached the entrance of the company, we heard a lot of chatter around us, and Candy tugged at her.
“What’s going on there?”
Following Candy’s gaze, Amelia Bright saw a military jeep, parked in the square in front of the Austin Group, afraid that no one would know the identity of the people inside, and there was a heavily armed guard standing outside the vehicle, carrying a gun.
“I’m going … Candy I have to go first.”
After dismissing Candy, she called while ducking into the crowd, her voice lowered to an extremely low level.
“Farren Austin, what’s wrong with you? Are you really here?”
On the phone, the man’s voice was very calm.
“I never lie about what I say, stop hiding, I see you.”
In the gap of the crowd, she saw the rear window of the jeep slowly rolled down, revealing a calm and cool face, looking in her direction.
“I’m not riding in your car, so get out of here.”
“Adjutant Xun to pick you up.”
“Don’t …”
She gritted her teeth, “I’ll get in the car.”
In full view of everyone, she walked stiffly towards the most stylish car that could not be found second in all of Hounslow.
“It’s here to pick up Director Bright.”
“Then isn’t that the one in the car …”
“It’s the young master.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen the Grand Master, gosh the military uniform is too handsome.”
“…”
The envious gazes of the women behind her were like a mountain on Amelia Bright’s head, and she had to quicken her pace, rolling up the window as soon as she got into the car and urging.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.”
Farren Austin instructed the driver to drive and turned his head to ask, “What? Are you embarrassed that I came to pick you up?”
“No, I didn’t mean it like that.”
She didn’t dare say that and asked, “I thought all soldiers had to keep a low profile. You come to pick me up with such fanfare, not afraid of others to report you ah?”
“The body is not afraid of the shadow, I am not afraid, you are afraid of what?”
“Of course I’m afraid, if you go in I’ll be a widow, I’m still young!”
The words came out, the carriage was a little quiet, the rear-view mirror reflected the front Adjutant Xun and the driver of the two people trying to hold back the appearance of laughter.
Farren Austin’s face stiffened slightly.
“In your eyes, I’m that easy to get in?”
Amelia Bright was shocked to find that the atmosphere was not right, and coughed dryly, “I didn’t mean it, it was just a casual remark, I meant for your own good, you’d better not pick me up, you see, just now the whole company off duty people are looking at us.”
“Joking with people you are not afraid of being surrounded by people.”
“What are you talking about? Who am I joking with?”
Amelia Bright was unsure.
A dry cough from Adjutant Xun on the passenger side reminded her.
“Ma’am, the man who came out with you, the one who is quite good-looking, should be your colleague, right? Now everyone in the Austin knows that you are the youngest grandmother, you should keep a little distance from the opposite sex, otherwise it is not good to talk about it.”
“That’s Candy!” Amelia Bright instantly understood, “That’s my assistant, he’s still young, he’s only graduated two years ago, I’ll treat him as my younger brother, what are you thinking?”
Farren Austin’s eyebrows frowned inaudibly and did not say anything.
Amelia Bright stared at him for a moment, and suddenly laughed
“You’re not jealous of Candy, are you?”
Farren Austin’s gaze stiffened for a moment, avoiding Amelia Bright to look out the window, and replied.
“Come out early from work tomorrow.”
“No, you’re still coming?” Amelia Bright’s head was full of black lines.
“…”
There was a bit of traffic and it took almost an hour to get home.
After arriving home, Amelia Bright went upstairs to take a shower, leaving Farren Austin alone downstairs.
It wasn’t until it was dark that she finished her shower and came downstairs, stepping on a pair of fuzzy slippers and changing into clean pink loungewear, and sat down on the couch as soon as she got downstairs.
Farren Austin, who had been reading the newspaper for over two hours and had memorized every word before and after, saw her all fresh and didn’t hold back and asked.
“You’re not cooking yet?”
Amelia Bright looked up, “I don’t have to.”
Without waiting for Farren Austin to ask, a doorbell rang and Amelia Bright immediately sprang up from the couch and jogged to the door.
“Miss Bright is it?”
“Yes, thank you.”
Within a few moments, Amelia Bright returned with two large bags, and while walking towards the dining room table, she raised them at Farren Austin with a smug smile.
“Well, isn’t this it?”
Who wants to cook when it’s so easy to order food from outside?
Facing the table full of take-out plastic boxes, Farren Austin looked complicated, “This is what you said about cooking?”
“My cooking really won’t be good, I never learned to cook ah, why not eat takeaway, this store does not like tomorrow I will give you a new one.”
Farren Austin frowned and stared for a while before setting aside his chopsticks heavily.
“You’re not eating, are you?” Amelia Bright was startled and swallowed with some apprehension.
After all, this is indeed a speculation, he will not be angry, right?
Half an hour later, Farren Austin stood up and went to the kitchen without saying a word.
Half an hour later, the plastic take-out boxes flashed to the side, and on the table was a freshly cooked three-course meal, with all the flavors and colors, and Amelia Bright’s jaw almost dropped.
“You can cook?”
If she hadn’t seen him in the kitchen, chopping and shredding with ease, she wouldn’t have imagined that he, the youngest member of the Austin family, could cook.
Farren Austin, holding the bowl, swept her a light-hearted glance.
“Learned it in the army once upon a time.”
Amelia Bright, who was eating happily, casually answered.
“Really? You were a soldier, but not a lance-armed soldier? It’s not like you’re a cook.”
“I’ve been in the army since I was a kid, I’ve been in all kinds of military.”
Amelia Bright froze for a moment and looked up to see Farren Austin looking complicated, not knowing what was on his mind.
