Chapter 274: Meal Delivery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Ying nodded. She was famished. “Do you happen to have any porridge lying about?”

The cook confirmed, “Yes, Mr. Lu instructed me to prepare some millet porridge.”

“Then I’ll have one. There’s no need for lunch.” Luo Ying wanted to eat something light.

The cook agreed immediately and quickly set the late breakfast on the table.

Luo Ying sat at the table and began slowly eating her porridge.

She was looking into the kitchen, where the cook was apparently hard at work.

“Are you still preparing lunch?” Luo Ying asked curiously.

“Yes, I have to bring Mr. Lu lunch at noon.” The cook rapidly chopped at some vegetables. “Mr. Lu’s digestion has been under the weather as of late, so he requires a strict diet.”

The cook had been in the business for quite some time and had worked for several affluent households. Generally, such information was private and confidential.

However, Miss Luo was clearly very important to this man.

“Digestive struggles…” Luo Ying frowned. Lu Zhao never seemed to have such issues. Had he been staying up late?

Her mind wandered to Lu Zhao’s rise to power within the Lu family. He was progressing much faster than it was in the original novel.

The source material never went into such details. Lu Zhao’s power struggle was only briefly mentioned, but she was now in a real world. If Lu Zhao was making such leeway, it would most definitely take a toll on his body.

“I’ll send it over at noon.” Luo Ying said to the cook.

She recalled her conversation with Lu Zhao last night. Her answer seemed to have hurt Lu Zhao. She wasn’t sure if Lu Zhao had listened to her entire explanation, but she knew she needed to find a good time to repeat it. She did not want to have any more misunderstandings with Lu Zhao.

“Ah?” The cook was taken aback, but nodded hesitantly. “Okay, I’ll let Secretary Li know later.”

The cook was almost finished when Luo Ying finally finished her porridge.

A four-story food box was presented to Luo Ying. All three dishes and the soup were beautifully arranged, and the box was perfectly insulated.

At the office, the company had already entered its lunch break. The employees went to the cafeteria, one after another. The lobby on the first floor was particularly deserted.

The only front desk employee was a young girl who was too sleepy to keep her eyes open due to hunger.

She was dozing off when a captivating woman’s voice roused her.

“Hello, what floor does the president work on?” Luo Ying, hidden behind a pair of shades and a mask, posed the question.

Upon stepping out of the vehicle, she realized for the first time that she was no longer an anonymous tourist in a foreign country.

She had been careless. Luo Ying resisted the urge to smack herself on the forehead. The hangover must have affected her judgment.

Since she was already there, Luo Ying had no choice but to push on. Thankfully, nobody was in the area at the moment, so it’s unlikely that anyone would recognize her.

Still, Luo Ying failed to recognize her own star power.

As soon as the receptionist raised her head, a silent scream erupted inside her. “Luo Ying!”

Her professionalism, however, kept her cool and collected. “Welcome, that would be the 68th floor. Take the third elevator on the right, and you’ll be there in no time.”

Luo Ying nodded and made her way silently toward the elevator, convinced that she was maintaining a low profile.

As soon as she turned around, the young woman working the front desk pulled out her phone and typed a message into a private group chat:

[Luo Ying brought today’s lunch to President Lu!!!]

[She’s so beautiful! She had an amazing body, and she was even more stunning in person.]

In the wake of her two messages, the Group chats that had been dormant since the lunch break sprang back to life.

[What?! Why is Luo Ying here?]

[See? I told you! They definitely didn’t! That divorce was just a cover! The marriage was arranged. This is a story of true love!]

[You let her in? Does CEO Lu know that if he doesn’t agree, we’ll be in trouble!]

The young lady at the front desk rolled her eyes silently. How would she be so careless? [The cook called me just now and told me that food is on the way. How else could she have gotten her hands on it?]

[Luo Ying came to deliver food. Does that mean that she was originally staying at President Lu’s house?]

[That makes sense!]

[So they will get back together? No, I was looking forward to Jin Shi and Luo Ying being together.]

[How exciting! But President Lu is still in a meeting. Luo Ying wouldn’t be able to see him if she went up.]

[He’s still in a meeting? It’s already been three hours.]

[Breaking news: Still in a meeting. Moreover, the reporter of the subsidiary company’s business department made a fool of himself, and President Lu lost his temper. It was super scary!]

[I was scared to death in the meeting room! Is Luo Ying here? She’s coming to take us away, please save us [crying]]

[She’s coming! She’s here!]
