Chapter 234 Delivering His Lunchbox
Sue laughed earnestly, "Not necessarily, but sir does stay the night sometimes, just like last night. That's why I packed him a change of clothes.”
"Is that so?" replied Yvonne, but still she felt that something was off.
But Sue's explanation was logical.
"It is," nodded Sue. “Alright madam, I must be on my way. I'll bring these ingredients to the kitchen while you put sir's things in his room."
As she finished, she picked up the ingredients and walked off, leaving Yvonne alone with the luggage.
Without a choice, Yvonne sighed and picked up the luggage as she was told.
After she left the luggage in his room, Sue brought out a platter of fruits from the kitchen.
When Sue saw her, she smiled at her and said, "Come madam, try some of these fruits. It was couriered to us today when the fruits had been picked this morning. Sir had asked me to let you have it specifically."
Yvonne walked over and picked up a strawberry, she then took a bite.
Sue asked, "How does it taste?" "Very sweet.” Yvonne’s eyes lit up and nodded.
Sue immediately passed the platter to Yvonne and said, "Have some more then madam.”
“Alright," answered Yvonne.
There was no way a fruit lover like her would pass up o n such rare and delicious fruits.
Sue saw that she was happily eating and went back to her chores so as to not disturb Yvonne.
At lunchtime when Sue had finished preparing the meal, she brought out her phone and asked, "Madam, can I trouble you with something?"
"What is it?" Yvonne looked at her curiously.
Sue waved her phone, "Sir had just called saying Frederick left on an errand and had not made him any lunch, so he’s asking me to deliver it to him. However, I need to head back to the villa for a while shortly so I can't deliver it to him."
"So, you would like to ask me to deliver it to him instead?” Yvonne seemed to understand what Sue had said.
Sue nodded her head. "That's right, would you be able t o help me madam?"
Yvonne stared down at her feet, without agreeing or disagreeing to her request. "Why didn't he order his own food?”
Sue laughed. "Sir is a workaholic. Aside from knowing how to cook, he doesn't have the habit of doing
anything else. What’s more, Frederick is the one who would normally arrange his meals for sir, so I doubt sir would even know the number to dial for food services."
Yvonne thought about what Sue had said and agreed with her. "Alright then, I'll take a trip down to meet him then."
"That’s wonderful.” Sue happily returned to her room and brought out a lunchbox shortly after. She handed the lunchbox to Yvonne and reminded her again, "Sir i s currently at headquarters, please don’t go to the wrong place madam."
"Don’t worry," replied Yvonne with a nod, she then grabbed the lunchbox and walked off.
But she regretted it as soon as she walked out of the house.
She had forgotten that she had not eaten yet.
But since she had already promised Sue, she had no choice but to endure her hunger and carry on.
Yvonne sighed as she reflected on her silliness and went to hail a taxi to the Lancaster Group's headquarters.
Speaking of which, this would be her first visit to the headquarters. In the past, she had only seen pictures 0 f the headquarters on the Internet instead of seeing it herself.
She had thought of sneaking there previously, hoping to hoping to catch a glimpse of Henry, but she was too scared at the time. She was afraid of being caught by Henry.
She had not expected that she would now be able to head there without sneaking in. She was wondering if the headquarters would look the same as what she had seen on the Internet.
As she thought of this, she held onto the lunchbox tightly, and her heart raced with anticipation.
Half an hour later, she had arrived.
As she got out of the taxi, she stood by the roadside and looked up at the building. It was even bigger and more glorious than her office and she silently felt amazed at the scenery.
From her viewpoint, each floor seemed to be slightly slanted. Also, the entire building was owned by the Lancaster Group. Her office was only half the size while the other half was being rented to other companies.
Its grandeur was enough proof that the building was the headquarters of the Lancaster Group.
After admiring the building, Yvonne took a deep breath and gathered her feelings before walking towards the building.
"Hello.” Yvonne approached the reception.
The receptionist scanned her before saying, "Good day, is there something that I can help you with madam?"
"Yes, I'm here to deliver this lunchbox to your CEO." Yvonne held up the lunchbox.
A hint of surprise flashed through the receptionist's eyes, but she instantly remembered her position and smiled politely. "Are you Sue, madam?”
"Sorry?" Yvonne was startled.
She was Sue?
How would this girl mistake her for Sue?
Yvonne quickly shook her head and replied, "No, I'm not."
"No?" The receptionist raised an eyebrow as she continued to ask, "Then are you the Lancaster's servant then?"
Yvonne twitched her lips.
This time, she was being mistaken as a servant instead
Could this receptionist come up with a better identity other than their servant? Maybe Mr. Lancaster's wife?
Yvonne did not speak what was on her mind as she remembered Henry had forbade her from announcing to the public about their relationship, so she could only grit her teeth and endure the humiliation.
"Yes, I am," admitted Yvonne with an unsatisfied look on her face.
Servant it was then, she couldn't care less as long as it would hide her true identity.
"Alright then, you may head up now." The receptionist pointed to the elevator in front of Yvonne. "That's the CEO’s private elevator, it'll lead you straight to his office.”
"It's that simple? Don’t you need to call the CEO to confirm first?" Yvonne was shocked.
The receptionist smiled and explained, "The CEO instructed half an hour ago to allow his servant in without informing him again."
"I see. Alright then, thank you.” Yvonne smiled at her and headed to the private elevator with the lunchbox. There seemed to be people who would glance at her with envy, jealousy or suspiciously as she went up to the top floor.
Henry was going through some documents when he heard someone knocking. Without raising his head, h e said, "Come in."
As she entered the office, she walked straight to Henry's desk silently.
As she walked towards him, she was scanning his office and admiring it.
His office looked even more luxurious than his office i n the other branches, especially the bookshelf he had which was filled with books. It was just staggering to look at it.
She was curious how he had managed to read through all those books.
"Are you here to hand me some documents?" asked Henry suddenly.
Yvonne immediately turned to face him and replied softly, "No."
Henry was startled - he started to go through his documents slower.
That voice...
Was he hearing things?
Henry put down his pen and raised his head to look at the opposing direction.
He was so shocked to find Yvonne standing there that it was written all over his face as he said, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to deliver your lunch." Yvonne placed the lunchbox in front of him.
Henry glanced at the lunchbox and immediately said," I thought Sue was supposed to deliver instead?"
"Sue had some urgent business back at the villa, so she asked me to bring it to you instead," explained Yvonne. "I'm not interrupting your work, am I?" Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"No, I'm surprised that you’re here, excited actually." Henry got up from his chair and headed to the rest area, one hand holding the lunch box, another hand holding Yvonne’s hand.
"Excited?" Yvonne sat together with Henry. "What's there to be excited about?" "I’m excited to see you here," replied Henry as he opened up the lunchbox.
Instantly, a pleasant aroma came out from the lunchbox.
Yvonne's stomach immediately grumbled as she sniffed the aroma.
Henry raised an eyebrow as he looked at her. "Have you not eaten?"
