She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

Chapter 741 - Board Meeting Tomorrow!

Chapter 741 Board Meeting Tomorrow!

In the villa in the suburbs.

Nora stood by the window and watched as the car in the distance left. She pursed her lips and turned around to sit at the dining table.

In front of him was lunch prepared by Justin. The steak had been cut into small pieces and there was also soup. It looked incongruous.

However, Nora did not care at all. She picked up the soup and took a sip. She commented, “Yesterday’s soup was salty. It’s just nice today.”

“Yes, this means that I still have the talent to cook.”

Justin had a smile on his face. After saying that, he scooped another bowl for her.

Nora looked at him and praised, “It’s been hard on you, cooking is so difficult. You don’t have to keep doing it. I’ll get someone to cook for you.”

Justin raised his eyebrows. “Is it difficult? Why do I feel it’s quite simple?”

“Simple?”

Nora raised her eyebrows and continued, “Do you know? I have cooked three times in my life.”

Justin was very interested and smiled. “Oh, which three times?”

Nora took a bite of the steak and felt that it was not satisfying. Justin had cut it into pieces too tiny. She used the fork to cut five or six pieces and stuffed them into her mouth. After chewing twice and swallowing, she said, “The first time I cooked was overseas. At that time, Cherry was one year old. I wanted to cook her a bowl of egg soup.”

Justin asked, “And?”

“I took salt for sugar and steamed it until it was too soft. When I fed it to Cherry, she kept vomiting.”

“Hahahaha!” Justin rarely laughed so carelessly. He seemed very cheerful when he laughed.

“I did not give up and cooked again. But I forgot to turn off the fire and burnt the bottom of the pot. Fortunately, I was fine. However, my youngest aunt ordered me never to cook again.”

Nora sighed helplessly. “But I didn’t give up. I went into the kitchen for the third time and burned it all down. Forget it. I might not have any talent for cooking.”

Justin watched as she described her talent seriously and laughed non-stop. “You’re the mighty Anti, the number one doctor of alternative medicine, an international racer, a hacker, and Big Sister of Quinn School of Martial Arts. You’re outstanding in all fields, but you don’t know how to cook!”

Nora rolled her eyes. “Geniuses are not omnipotent.”

Justin was tired from smiling. “It’s okay. I’ll cook in the future.”

“Yeah.”

Nora saw that he was laughing so hard. She ate the beef ruthlessly again and chewed hard. She would treat it as chewing this dog man.

What was so funny?

What was wrong with her only having cooked thrice or burning a kitchen down?

On the fourth day.

The board of directors meeting was tomorrow, and the atmosphere in the Hunt Manor became serious.

Furthermore, even the weather seemed to have sensed something. There was a sudden cold wind.

It was even beginning to snow in the entire region.

When Nora woke up in the morning, she felt the cold outside and wrapped the blanket tightly around her. Then, she sneezed. The door was pushed open and Cherry ran in. Her little nose was red from the cold. “Mommy, Mommy, the heater is here!”

Nora felt the coldness in the air and frowned. “Where’s the heater?”

Cherry said, “The temperature dropped today. Uncle Butler said that the entire manor was warming up today, so the heater was switched on at Fatty’s house! But why don’t we have it here yet?”

Nora: “?!

She frowned and lifted the blanket to cover herself with a thick coat.

Ever since she had a major hemorrhage while giving birth, she had always been weak and afraid of the cold. At the slightest hint of cold weather, she would turn on the heater. The room had to maintain 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

The weather was only 70 degrees yesterday, but today, it was suddenly 40 degrees. Furthermore, it was snowing. It might get even colder.

It was too cold.

She wrapped herself in her clothes and followed Cherry downstairs. When she went downstairs, Iris was quarreling with the steward of the greenhouse.

“There are heaters everywhere else, why isn’t there one here?”

The in-charge lowered his head and said with a smile, “Madam, the temperature suddenly dropped this year. I wasn’t expecting that. We don’t have enough fuel left. Besides, something seems to be wrong with the heating pipe here. I’ve already called for someone to fix it.”

A small family might use electricity to warm themselves, but the Hunt Manor was too big, so they had a special boiler for heating.

Before Iris could speak, Pete said, “Since there’s not enough fuel, why don’t you let us use it first? We usually use it first.”

As the patriarch of the Hunts, everyone in the Hunts served Justin. When had he ever suffered like this?!

The in-charge smiled. “Pete, you also know you guys get to use it first every year, so it’s time for others to use it first this year. It’s all fair!”

This sentence was unfair!

The heating in the servants’ room was already there, but their small villa did not have it? Furthermore, the heating ducts had not broken even once in the past, how did they suddenly break this year?

It was obvious that they were behind this!

Iris also frowned. “That’s enough! Fix it immediately. I’ll give you half an hour to turn on the heating in the villa! Otherwise, I’ll leave you to your own devices!”.

Cherry loved to run around barefooted on the ground. Now that she was freezing, it was inconvenient for her.

The in-charge was not afraid and acted shamelessly. “Madam, this request of yours is really making things difficult for me! Where can I find someone to fix it? I don’t know how to fix it myself. I’ve already asked for repairs, but the maintenance staff is currently busy. I don’t have a choice! If you punish me or fire me because of this, you’d be going against the contract…”

The person in charge of the greenhouse was Mrs. Hunt’s subordinate.

The matriarch would definitely not let her great-grandson freeze. Therefore, it was no doubt Lauren who had ordered this.

What a despicable method.

Iris was so angry that her chest heaved. She wished she could bring her three precious grandchildren to her villa in the suburbs. At the very least, it was up to her when the heater came on.

But she could not leave.

This was the Hunt Manor, the place where Justin was the head. If she left with her grandson, in less than a minute, there would be news of Justin being chased out of the house!

Iris really did not know what to do when faced with such a shameless subordinate.

At this moment, Xander placed his hands on his hips and said, “You’re such an unruly slave. Isn’t it just because Dad isn’t around that you’re bullying us? Let me tell you, Mom is still here! Besides, Dad will be back soon!”

These words should have frightened the in-charge, but he did not expect the in-charge to immediately smile when he heard this. “Even if your father is back, he probably won’t have the mood to care about us. He’ll be busy handling your mother!”

Xander was stunned. “What about my Mom?”

The in-charge continued to smile. Just as he was about to speak, Iris’s face darkened. She shouted angrily, “I dare you to say it!”

The in-charge pursed his lips. In front of the child, he originally wanted to talk about Nora’s pretty boy. After all, this matter had spread everywhere! Even the location, time, and the other party’s identity as a pretty boy were made clear.

However, Iris was too strong. He could only shut his mouth.

Iris roared, “I don’t think you want to work here anymore!”

The in-charge said, “Does it matter if you want me to work here or not? We’ll hold a board of directors meeting tomorrow. After it ends, let’s see if you still dare to be so arrogant!”

Iris pointed at him and scolded, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

The in-charge pursed his lips. “I’m not talking nonsense. This news has already spread. Mr. Hunt will not be the head of Hunt Corporation for long. Then, there will be another person in the Hunts to respect!”

Pete couldn’t help but say, “It’s not certain who will win!”

“Sigh, Pete, what are you saying… You have confidence in your father, but it’s a pity your mother doesn’t. She’s already preparing to run… Otherwise, the hearts of the people below wouldn’t have scattered so much!”

When Nora went downstairs, she heard these words.

A cold glint flashed across her almond-shaped eyes.

Although it had been an act to deliberately give others the illusion, she was still a little angry at this moment.
