I hung up and looked around in the kitchen for a box to pack what I wanted to give Yana up, but to no avail.
I yelled for Hendrix. "Hendrix, come here!"
Not long after, the sound of footsteps were heard. I did not look up and was focused on looking for a lunch box. "Hendrix, is there any box that we could use to pack the things we want to give Yana later?"
No reply came even after a long while. I frowned, looked up and saw that it was Valerie. She squatted down and took out a box from the cabinet.
With a smile on her face, she turned back and said, "Found it. There are some here..."
She turned her head and caught me looking confused. She paused for a moment before smiling awkwardly and saying, "Mr. Roberts is accompanying your... Dad for a walk nearby."
I nodded, got up, and took the box from her hand. "Thank you."
Then, I began to prepare the food I wanted Yana to have.
"Can I help you with anything?" Valerie asked, standing next to me.
I shook my head and muttered to her coldly, "No, thank you!"
My unfriendly tone instantly silenced her.
After packing up the food, I was surprised to see that she was still standing behind me. Then, I walked out of the kitchen without saying a word to her.
Suddenly, I felt her grab my wrist.
