"You’d adjust." Glenn Hutchinson spoke calmly, as if he had fully considered all her concerns already, "You can make another decision in two years."
"Why should I give up a comfortable life in the cooking class?"
Flossie Wright’s tone was calm, as though she were casually chatting with him.
"Because that’s not what you want."
Glenn Hutchinson’s gaze became serious, as if he were trying to peer into her heart.
His answer was certain, without a hint of probing.
While life in the cooking class might be comfortable, it certainly wasn’t the life that Flossie Wright desired.
If she chose to stay in the cooking class, once the new trainees finished their training, she’d return to her old life in the cooking class. Cooking and washing vegetables would be dull and absolutely not something Flossie liked.
He was just telling her that if she chose a different path, she would encounter more.
It would be a broad road, no matter how far she could walk, there would surely be a lot of unexpected treasures to be had.
This place might not be good enough or free enough, and the outside world might be more exciting and carefree, but there are definitely things here she won’t experience outside.
Since she was here, she might as well take a good look around.
Flossie stared at him for a few seconds, but eventually gave up on this debate. She then stood up, ready to leave.
However, Glenn Hutchinson suddenly stopped her, "Have you eaten yet?"
Barely pausing, Flossie glanced at him, saw him casually pointing towards a bag near the table, and said, "Eat, it’s to your liking."
Though he used the words "to your liking", there was nothing resembling favoritism in his manner. Just like when he used to give her his food, his attitude was cold and didn’t change in the slightest.
Flossie rolled her eyes.
However, being not one for affectation, she glanced at the bag a few times before quickly sitting back down and bringing it to the table in front of her.
Upon opening the bag, it was filled with neatly packed meals.
There were three dishes in total: mushroom and egg soup, braised pork, braised potato slices, along with a portion of white rice.
"Did you make this?"
After taking out all the food, Flossie examined them closely and found them vaguely familiar. She then asked Glenn Hutchinson with a raised eyebrow, appearing rather curious.
Glenn Hutchinson blocked his view with his laptop and answered coldly through the screen, "No."
"Snap!" Flossie cracked open her chopsticks.
Glenn Hutchinson’s eyelid twitched, and his gaze shifted up slightly to take in Flossie’s contented mealtime demeanor. However, as Flossie looked up unexpectedly, Glenn Hutchinson quickly glanced away, avoiding her gaze.
As a hint of amusement flickered in her eyes, Flossie watched Glenn as he returned to his work on the laptop. She quickly glanced back down at her meal, focusing on eating.
She wasn’t sure if this meal was actually prepared by Glenn Hutchinson. After all, she hadn’t tasted his cooking much. But she was certain that it was definitely not cooked by Squad Leader Lin.
The office returned to its usual calmness without a hidden fiery atmosphere and the mood relaxed significantly.
The sounds of keyboard tapping echoed methodically throughout the room. Flossie leisurely ate her meal while both of them went about their own business without interfering with each other or any communication.
