179 Hope Sir Likes I (1/2)

”CEO Lu?”

Not wanting him to be angry again at her, Bao Bai politely called him by his title.

Lu Shen ignored Bao Bai and put down his chopsticks. Wiping the corner of his lips with a table napkin, he said in a curt tone, ”Bolin.”

The butler immediately appeared beside him and said in a respectful voice, ”Sir?”

”Give me the list of names who cooked all of these dishes and put a mark beside those who were recently appointed and not part of the usual kitchen staff.”

”Yes, sir.”

Wu Bolin quickly did as he was told. Inside his head, his thoughts were whirling around in alarm. Maybe the boss didn't like his lunch? Would he fire the head chef? Wu Bolin liked the head chef's cooking. Or maybe the boss wouldn't fire the usual staff, but only the newly appointed ones. He specifically asked him to mark them.

Wu Bolin shuddered. CEO Lu was indeed a strict boss.

When Wu Bolin came back, all the plates were wiped clean without a single crumb left. He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things. Miss Bao usually didn't eat much because she said she was on a diet, while the boss was a picky eater.

But why were all the empty plates near to boss? When did the boss become this gluttonous?

Lu Shen held out his hand, and Wu Bolin handed him the piece of paper with apprehension.

Lu Shen scanned through the list of names, and saw that only one person was recently added. The rest had been with the kitchen staff for months and years. The sous chef was absent today, so they substituted her with one of the maids.

Huian.

Lu Shen stared at her name for a beat longer before pointing her out to the butler. ”Give me her file, and instruct her to cook dinner for me this evening. Don't allow anybody else help her, and don't say that I was the one who ordered you. Tell her to deliver it directly to my study.”

Wu Bolin swallowed his saliva. Why did the boss wanted this maid to personally cook for him?

”Sir, what about Miss Bao? Are the two of you going to eat separately?”

”Do you even need to ask?” Lu Shen said irritatedly. ”Don't bother Huian with her dinner, just let the head chef cook for her.”

Without looking at Bao Bai who was biting her lower lip with enough force for it to bleed, Lu Shen left.

Staring at his distant back, Bao Bai looked down at her distorted face reflected on the porcelain plate. She had her face, she copied her personality, she called him by the same name...but why won't he love her the same way he loved his wife? Was that girl Hui Yin really irreplaceable in his heart?

He was even paying more attention to an insignificant maid than her...

Bao Bai was willing to be a substitute and take second place in his heart, but except for Hui Yin, she won't allow other women to steal Lu Shen away from her.

With a cold look in her eyes, Bao Bai stood up and left the dining room.
