Serena is still curious about this anonymous's true identity because when she wanted to contact the anonymous, they didn't respond. Meanwhile, she was invited by the anonymous person to meet him in person. Is that anonymous someone she has known all this time? Office colleagues? However, for her it was impossible because she had many enemies in the office.
Serena was determined not to meet that anonymous person today. She tried to negotiate a change in the meeting schedule because she didn't want Asher to see her movements. If Asher was a real killer, then she would have been killed sooner.
The anonymous person gave Serena until tomorrow. Now Serena starts to act out her act of being sweet in front of Asher so they can kiss. As she walked into the living room wearing a sexy nightgown, she inhaled the aroma of cooking which teased her stomach and continued to growl.
A pair of feet stepped slowly following the aroma of fragrant cooking. For a long time, she really wanted to enjoy delicious food given by anyone. Who would have thought that Asher was the first person to serve her this delicious dish.
The dining table is filled with side dishes arranged neatly. Serena's eyes lit up at the view of the dining table that she had rarely seen before. Moreover, so far she has only been given leftover food or food that has expired. What amazed her and instantly forgot her mission, she didn't expect Asher to be the one who prepared all the dishes on the dining table.
"Asher, did you cook all this?"
"You don't believe I can cook?" Asher said coldly as he sat in a chair.
"Yeah, especially since you're a CEO and it looks like you're not good at cooking."
The corners of Asher's lips lifted. "This is the first time I've heard anyone insult me directly."
"I'm sorry. But based on the dramas I've watched so far, all CEOs are very spoiled and only rely on money to solve all problems."
Asher spontaneously moved away for a moment while pulling up a chair in front of him. Then, his hand guided his fiancé to the chair in front of him.
"It seems like you're the one who wants to be pampered. I had to pull out a chair for you to get you to sit down."
Serena smiled shyly as she looked at all the appetizers and desserts on the dining table. If Asher wasn't a murderer, her heart would immediately melt because of the special treatment Asher gave her. She didn't expect Asher's cold attitude to take the initiative to treat her like a princess.
"I'm not spoiled. It's just that I'm still surprised that you can cook. Lariette never told me that you could cook anything."
"Indeed, as long as I was Lariette's husband, I never cooked."
"What?"
"Lariette took the initiative to cook for me. That's why I let her cook because she seems to like cooking."
Hearing that her late stepsister was treated like a servant made her lips purse. "You are really cruel."
"Instead of being fussy from earlier, why don't you just eat?"
For the first time, someone took the initiative to tell her to enjoy delicious food. Now her eyes started to fill with tears when she tasted the egg soup. Just tasting a mouthful, her taste buds immediately became addicted and flowered. The right salty taste and warmth of this soup, for some reason she felt that Asher cooked this food from the bottom of his heart.
"I like your cooking."
"If you like it, why are you crying?"
"Because… this is the first time I've been able to eat such delicious food. Usually I'm given expired food, leftover food, or sometimes poison."
The look on Asher's face that looked pitiful for the first time made Serena curious. It's unusual for Asher to show this facial expression, even though usually he always shows a cold expression. Even when she saw a piece of Lariette's memory yesterday, Asher didn't smile when he was on a date with Lariette.
"It's true what Lariette said. You've been treated like trash all this time." Asher took a deep breath while sipping water. "Now that you live with me, you can eat all my cooking to your heart's content. I won't poison you."
"Thank you, Asher." Serena let out happy tears rolling down her cheeks.
Asher pursed his lips again. He didn't want to spoil the mood of his future wife who was very happy enjoying his cooking. Apart from that, for the first time, somehow his heart was very happy just because his sister-in-law liked his cooking.
"I don't want you to take that illegal drug again."
"But, that medicine won't make me die."
"Are you sure? You didn't read the composition of the medicine?"
Serena shook her head innocently. "No. I don't understand the composition of that medicine."
"From what I saw earlier, if you take too much of this medicine, it will kill your intestines and stomach."
"But, how do you know the meaning of these ingredients?"
"I often see it and I've known for a long time."
*****
After discussing the illegal drugs she has been consuming for years, Serena is again uneasy about thinking about Asher's true figure. According to her, only certain people understand the meaning of the drug's contents. Either the pharmacist, nutritionist or doctor is the one who mixes the medicine. However, Asher is the CEO of a food and beverage company, why does Asher understand the composition of medicines so differently from his current profession?
While Asher was watching the news in the living room, Serena immediately sat next to him with a spoiled expression on her face. Deliberately pressing her body against Asher's body which smelled of bath soap made her addicted. Again, she had to act in front of Asher so that they would kiss tonight. She really wants to see another piece of Lariette's memory that shows that Asher is the murderer.
"Asher, I'm really grateful to be able to live with you now. I can finally watch TV in the living room as much as I want."
"I still can't believe that your adoptive parents are really cruel to you."
"Because I've told you a lot today, you should give me a big reward."
Asher folded his arms. "Is giving you delicious food not a great reward?"
"No, this is something different. Since we've opened up a bit to each other, I want us to kiss."
