At the Warner Group.
When the secretary knocked on the door and entered, Stanley was busy dealing with a contract. The moment he heard the footsteps, he subconsciously looked up and saw the secretary holding a lunch box in her hand.
"What's this?" After he closed the document, he asked.
The secretary then went forward and placed the lunch box next to him. "Mr. Warner, this was sent by a young lady just now. She said that it's a lunch box, and she left right after. I didn't even have the time to ask."
After Stanley heard that answer, his eyes narrowed. "How does she look like?"
"She seems quite pretty. When she smiles, her eyes curve, and she has a sweet voice."
"Open it."
"Yes." As soon as she opened the lid of the lunch box, there was a strong fragrance. It was lunchtime, and the food in the lunch box seemed attractive, which made the secretary swallowed her saliva subconsciously. "It smells so good... Could it be Miss Warner who sent someone to deliver it?"
The marriage between Mr. Warner and Miss Warner was not a secret in the Warner Group. Almost everyone knew they were a couple and would get married in the future. Therefore, it was normal for Miss Warner to send a hearty lunchbox to the office.
When Stanley heard the secretary's words, his brows relaxed, and he didn't think too much about it. "It's possible that she was the one who sent it. Just put it aside first, and you may leave."
"Okay." The secretary then turned around and left.
At first, Stanley wanted to finish dealing with the documents in his hands before he enjoyed his meal. However, before he could finish his work, the food next to him was so fragrant that his appetite wavered. Hence, Stanley placed the documents aside and started to eat.
After he took the first bite, he knew it was not Ayana's cooking.
It was because he knew that Ayana's cooking skills were not that good.
During the year he spent with her abroad, he often ate dishes prepared by her. Although it was not inedible, it was not really tasty either.
The taste of the food was... As he slowly narrowed his eyes, he realized it tasted familiar. In fact, it tasted just like the supper that Miss Cruz prepared at his place last night.
Could it be sent by her?
Just then, he glanced at the bag of the lunchbox and saw that there seemed to be something in the food bag...
After Stanley put down his chopsticks, he took it out to have a look. It was a small envelope, and when he opened it, he saw a note that said, "It's lunchtime, so don't starve yourself. If it's delicious, I'll send it again tomorrow."
At the end of the note was a cute and cheeky smiley face.
There was no signature, and it didn't state who it was from or what she was up to. As Stanley thought about it, he frowned and wondered what Sharon was up to.
At that moment, Stanley's mood suddenly sunk because he hated it whenever someone did something secretive behind his back. After that, Stanley threw the lunch box aside and ignored it.
Subsequently, for the next week at noon every day, there would be the same food box placed on Stanley's office table.
Other than that, he would also receive a small card, either with words to make him happy or to remind him to eat well.
Every time Stanley finished reading, he would throw the card aside.
However, on this day, past 12 o'clock pm, he felt like there was something impetuous in his heart. In fact, he did not have the mood to deal with work, and his attention also began to be distracted.
The feeling went on until his secretary came in and reminded him, "Mr. Warner, it's lunchtime. Are you going to have your lunch in the office, or do you need me to order a meal for you?"
At that moment, Stanley suddenly realized that Sharon had stopped sending lunchboxes to him after a week.
That was why he felt something was off.
