A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 38

"What happens?"

"Mr. Louis, good morning." Lily greets the man with a shy face, "I heard that Mr. Louis needs someone to take care of him, so I am here. I hope Mr. Louis doesn't mind it."

With a forceful smile on her face, Lily sullenly says, “Do you think I want to come here? I don’t want to owe you too much. I want to quickly return the favors. I don’t want to work for the Smith Group all my life!

Louis looks at David and smiles, "Huh? Do I need someone to take care of?"

"Yes, Mr. Louis, the part-time worker says something goes wrong in her home, so she couldn't come here these days." David feels chilled at Louis’s gaze, and he pushes up his glasses calmly.

"I have many things to deal with, so I am afraid that I will miss the things Mr. Louis tells me. Miss Lily is a good cook, and her working ability is strong, so I brought Miss Lily over."

Lily nods hurriedly, "I won't cook white fungus porridge, but I'm good at cooking! Mr. Louis, rest assured, I will take care of you when you recover."

Louis is clever and knows that Lily is actively paying back her favors.

But he doesn’t say it, because the only one he trusts in the country is David, and David is busy. He really needs someone to handle the documents for him.

"I know, you go busy with your work." Louis says to David, "Miss Lily will be here to help me these days. By the way, clean up the secretarial department when you are free. It's too dirty."

"I will handle it." David understands what is going on.

Before leaving, David says to Lily, "Miss Lily, sorry to bother you to take care of Mr. Louis's daily life."

Lily groans, wondering.

In such a large villa, there are robots for sweeping. She doesn’t have to clean the house. Doesn’t she just cook? How to take care of him?

Soon Lily realizes that it is not an easy job!

Before coming here, she asks David to drive her to the supermarket to buy a lot of ingredients, all of which re beneficial for wound healing, but Louis is very picky. He doesn’t eat fish or pork, and he doesn’t even eat broccoli.

He is slightly allergic to peanuts, so he does not love peanut butter.

The coffee must be hand-made, and when he is dealing with the documents, she has to get the coffee ready.

"Mr. Louis, you're too... Lily looks at the notes in the memo, and then purses her lips, "You are too picky. "

He is such a picky eater, but he is still so tall and does not look weak. It is so strange.

Even Joey isn’t as picky as he is!

"Everyone has some food they don't like to eat." A notebook is placed on the coffee table in front of Louis, and he is dealing with some matters, “It’s common, and it’s nothing to do with being picky."

Lily grits her teeth. She doesn't like to spoil others.

Besides, she is tired after buying so many ingredients from the supermarket. It is expensive. How wasteful it is to throw all the food away because he is picky?

After thinking for a while, Lily slips into the kitchen and calls her mom, "Mom, what if someone is picky and doesn't eat pork?"

"Your sister is picky again?"

Lily hums, "No, Joey is much better than him!"

"Then you mince and marinate the pork and make it into meatballs. Do you know?" Daisy has been a cook after all and soon she thinks of a way, "If there are eggplants, you can mix the pork into eggplants."

"What if he tastes the pork?"

"You marinate it with seasoning, and the meat is very tender, so he can't taste it."

Lily rummages through the bottles and jars. She really finds the seasoning Daisy says. She writes down the marinating steps and asks how to handle the fish, which is also made into balls or into the steamed eggs.

After Lily puts on the apron, she is busy in the kitchen.

She uses all the methods taught by Daisy. Soon the pork and the fish will be processed. One sauced beef and two vegetarian dishes will be prepared soon. Lunch will be ready soon.

She tastes it when she finishes, and she does not taste the pork before she takes the dish out.

"Mr. Louis, lunch is ready."

Louis closes his computer and gets up to take a seat at the restaurant. When he sees the four dishes and soup on the table, he hooks his lips, quite satisfied.

This woman looks good at cooking.

When he sees the plate of meatloaf, he frowns, "Didn’t I say I don't eat pork?"

"It's not pork, it's beef!" Lily sits down after serving him the rice, and she lies calmly, "I have "handled" the pork. Try it if you don’t believe me."

Seeing that Louis doesn’t move, and shows a suspicious look, Lily assures him, "Mr. Louis, it's definitely not pork. If you taste the pork, I will leave now!"

Louis gives her a glance, and after a few seconds, he takes a piece of meatloaf and takes a big bite.

It tastes tender, smooth and soft, unlike pork.

"It is difficult to cook the beef tender. Your cooking is really good." Louis looks at the meat on the chopsticks. If her skills are not good, the beef will not taste so tender.

Lily breathes a sigh of relief, thinking she was right to call her mom.

In the four dishes and one soup, the mushroom soup is vegetarian, and pork and fish are more or less put in several dishes. Lily feels very fulfilled when she watches Louis eat all the dishes.

You dare to be picky. I have many ways to deal with you!

The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, so Lily doesn't need to wash the dish, just throw the tableware into the dishwasher.

In the afternoon, Louis works in the study, and occasionally uses video to deal with the affairs of foreign companies. After Lily brews his coffee and serves him, she silently checks the documents aside.

She is accustomed to high-intensity work in the translation department. No matter what documents Louis throws over, she can mark out the difficult words, and she can deal with a document in five minutes.

One is busy at the front table and the other is behind the table.

"That’s all for today."

Louis takes the microphone off his body, and the one-and-a-half-hour meeting makes him very tired. Then he finds a hot cup of coffee and the ready documents placing beside him.

He looks up and sees Lily, who is focusing on work. Sometimes if she couldn't remind of some words, she bites her pen and thinks hard, looking a little cute.

Louis raises his thin lips.

No wonder Mr. Leon always praises Lily of his department as being excellent. Indeed, the work efficiency is very high, and she knows what others need when she works for others, and can deliver in time.

He has looked down upon this woman and only regards her as an interpreter.

"Lily." Louis taps his finger on the table and asks her, "If there is a chance, would you like to go to the New York branch? The company will arrange the house for you."

"New York branch?" Lily didn’t expect that he would tell this to her, and she didn’t respond for a while.

Louis nods, “Yes."

He knows that if Lily has a greater stage, she would make more stunning achievements, and the New York branch is just right for her.

If she can help him deal with the cooperation, this kind of favor is nothing.

"Thank you for your appreciation, but I don't need it." In the end, Lily still refuses him, "I still like the headquarters, and I might not get used to the New York branch."

Lily also has her own ideas.

Although she has been in the Smith Group for several years, and she is also very good in the translation department, she has made no major achievements and she is not experienced enough.
