Lucinda paused. What was so urgent?
Judging from Malcolm’s expression, she was sure that something was wrong.
Lucinda didn’t waste any more time after that. Two minutes later, she rushed to the office on the top floor.
She opened the door and found Cyrus sitting in his chair with his back to her. He leaned back into the chair as though he was looking at a mural on the wall.
“Cyrus? What’s wrong?”
Lucinda addressed him this way instead of “Mr. Simmons” since there was no one around.
“Surprise!” Cyrus turned to her.
He opened the lunch box he had in his hand and the smell of spicy and delicious food filled the room.
“Mary said I abuse you because you have to eat in the employee canteen. So, she made your favorite beef stew. Are you surprised?”
Lucinda was amused by his childish behavior.
“So this was the emergency you’re talking about?”
Cyrus put the Lunch box down, stood up and walked towards her. With a doting smile on his face, he said, “Well, yes! My little princess has to have lunch. Of course it’s an emergency!”
Lucinda just smiled happily.
Cyrus pulled her to the sofa where other dishes had been served on the coffee table. He then put the beef stew on the table as well.
Lucinda smelled the food and nodded appreciatively. Mary was really good at cooking. It was much better than the food in the canteen.
“It’s delicious, but please don’t do it again. If I keep coming to have lunch with you in your office, the other employees will start asking questions,” she said while chewing.
“Say that to Mary yourself. She doesn’t listen to me anymore after you moved in,” Cyrus said with a faint smile.
Lucinda nodded and continued eating.

Now that she was eating, she realized that she had been really hungry. Mary’s food was absolutely delicious. There was no way to resist it.
When Cyrus saw her eating like a cute squirrel, he couldn’t stop himself from hooking her nose.
Lucinda smiled back at him and kept eating.
They chatted about their daily lives as they ate. The atmosphere in the office was really lively.
At one point, Malcolm knocked on the door and came in. He stood at the door and said in a low voice, “Mr. Simmons, Miss Hernandez is here to see you.”
Lucinda looked up at Cyrus and was surprised to see that he was frowning.
