Karen Joy Kyle hummed a little tune and thought happily about Brother Lionel's trust towards her. Since he trusted her so much, she must perform well and cook up a real good storm for him, so that he could know that she was no longer a clueless kid.
However, Karen Joy's enthusiasm and selfconfidence were taken aback when she saw the food in the refrigerator but did not know what to do.
"Mom, what should I do?" It looked very easy when she saw her mother was cooking, but how could it be so difficult when it was her turn?
Karen Joy stood in front of the refrigerator and she didn't know what to do.
Karen Joy hung up the phone, but Nathaniel Cooper still didn't put his phone down. He put the phone close to his ear and seemed to be able to still hear her voice.
He continued to do this for a long time.
"Mr. President, these are the terms for today's meeting about the new tourism law. Take a look. If there is no problem, you still need to approve and seal it. After you have signed and sealed it, the new law will be officially implemented on the 1 st of January next year." Jason Lesley printed out the final outcome of today's meeting and wanted Mr. President to review it.
Nathaniel took the document and looked at it. He saw that the title of the document was "Presidential Decree". The following was the final outcome of today's meeting.
Nathaniel finished reading the document in one glance and quickly signed and sealed it. Then, he handed the document to Jason and said, "That's all for today. Go back and rest early."
Jason nodded and said, "Mr. President, you have to participate in a very important financial forum tomorrow. Please rest early at night too."
This time, the economic forum was the first large- scale forum involving several major countries since Nathaniel was President. The leaders of many countries would attend the forum.
Tomorrow would be a very busy day.
"Yes." Nathaniel nodded and turned to look at his personal assistant. "Send the makeup artist in."
"Yes." This time, his private assistant was smart. He didn't dare to say more. After receiving the order, he immediately went to work.
It was rare that Nathaniel was so anxious to get his makeup done after he finished his work. He wanted to get off work quickly, because there was someone waiting for him at night to cook for him.
How long had it been since he'd had a meal personally cooked by his family?
He thought about it for awhile, but he could not remember clearly.
"Nathaniel." Suddenly, he heard Serene Silas' voice from behind him.
Nathaniel raised his head slightly and looked at the woman standing behind him from the mirror. "It's already so late and you haven't gone back yet. What's the matter?"
"Nathaniel, I have something that I would like to talk to you about privately. Do you have sometime?" Serene asked carefully.
Nathaniel raised his hand and looked at the time. Half an hour had passed since the phone call with Karen Joy. He still needed some time to have his make up done, and another half an hour to drive over to Moon Bay.
He estimated that even if he rushed over to Moon Bay after this, Karen Joy would've been done with her cooking and she needed to wait for him.
He didn't want Karen Joy to wait for too long, so he said, "Serene, I still have some things to do tonight. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Nathaniel, I only need a few minutes. I won't take up too much of your time." Serene's voice was extremely soft. She was worried that he would turn her down.
They were tied to the same boat. Although there was no love between them, but they had been together for so long, so they had quite a good relationship.
For Nathaniel, Serene was more than just a friend, she was his only good friend who would always back him up.
Before that person had gotten into trouble, he had instructed Nathaniel to help take good care of Serene and not to let the Silas family treat her like a sacrificial lamb for power.
