"Mhmm," Elaine replied, "I've always had a good memory since I was young, and I'm sensitive with numbers."
Just like how she was able to determine which supermarket had cheaper groceries by just taking a trip to each supermarket to compare.
Perhaps some people did not care about how much they spent on groceries, but Elaine has a habit of meticulously calculating her expenses. In the long run, she would be able to save a lot of money on groceries.
When Morgan heard her words, he fell silent, and he seemed to be slightly moved that a talented girl like her didn't get the chance to further her studies and had to be stuck with this mediocre job for various reasons.
Furthermore, she didn't even know what she was capable of, and she was like a piece of unpolished jade that was inconspicuous in the outside world. However, once her talent was recognized by others, she would be able to shine brilliantly.
If she were to be given a chance, she would be more dazzling than anyone else.
As Morgan thought of this, he suddenly asked,
"Miss Jacob, have you ever thought of doing something else in the future?"
Confused, Elaine asked, "Doing something else?"
"Yes, such as doing some jobs that you're good at," With a smile, he continued, "Not only are you gifted with an extraordinary retentive memory, but you also know how to distinguish fake antiques. These are things that others can't learn."
However, she felt that she was not as talented as he said, and she smiled shyly. "All these things that I know, others can also be good at it by learning..."
Immediately, Morgan shook his head. "Miss Jacob, you're belittling yourself. For example, you are born with an extraordinary retentive memory. How could others learn that? I am not sensitive to numbers, and it's been so long since I have used this number, but I still can't remember it until now, whereas it only took you one glance to remember it."
"Morgan, stop complimenting me. I'll be embarrassed." Seriously, Elaine said.
With a smile, he said, "What a cute young lady."
The more he spoke, the more embarrassed she felt.
"There are all kinds of groceries at home, so I don't think we need to buy any for now. We can go back directly," he said, "I'm afraid that Sir has been waiting for long."
Obediently, Elaine answered, "Okay."
When they arrived at the villa, Elaine remembered what had happened in the morning and asked, "Morgan, is Dr. Perkins feeling better?"
When she left, Dr. Perkins had headed upstairs, and Morgan said that he was not feeling well, so she was wondering how he was feeling at the moment.
Clearly, it was not that he felt unwell. In fact, he was...
Embarrassed, Morgan cleared his throat. "He's fine. He felt better a long time ago. Miss Jacob, don't take it to heart."
"That's great," Elaine breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Morgan, don't call me Miss Jacob. You can call me Elaine."
After they got out of the car and entered the villa, she saw Dr. Perkins seated in the living room at a glance.
At that moment, Dr. Perkins was in a casual shirt and light gray pants. It was a simple outfit, and he seemed very comfortable in it. As he was sitting on the sofa and reading a book, he looked up at her when he heard the footsteps.
Faintly, he stared at her with a deep gaze, and his thin lips pursed.
Hurriedly, she walked over and said, "Dr. Perkins, I'm back. Are you hungry? Take your time to read. I'll go to the kitchen..."
"What did you just call me?" Suddenly, Vincent interrupted her.
Immediately, Elaine remembered his order in the morning, and she had to change the way she addressed him. When she called his name, she was a little embarrassed. "Vincent."
The corners of Vincent's mouth curled into a smile. "Come here."
Silently, she pointed to the kitchen and said, "I need to go to..."
"The servants are cooking, and you don't have to cook. Come here. I have something for you."
When she heard his words, she was confused.
Didn't he purposely ask her to come back to cook? Why did he say that he didn't need her now?
Hesitantly, she walked over and sat down in front of him. Then, Vincent took out a bag from the side and placed it in front of her. "This is for you."
