Bernard scooped out the cooked food and told Hera, "Sweetie, the food is cooked. You can eat it now."
She washed her hands and sat at the dining table. When she saw the heart-shaped egg, she smirked. "Thank you. You may leave now."
"Are you going to chase me away after making use of me?" Bernard placed both hands on the table, looking at her.
Hera raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to wash the dishes before you leave?"
After a brief pause, Bernard replied, "Alright."
Then, he turned and washed the pot. Once Hera had finished eating her food, he slowly took her plate and washed it too.
Suddenly, he asked, "Did you promise Rhett that you'd develop a new chip for the Killian family?"
Hera bent down and picked up Tiramisu. She fell silent for a while before answering, "It seems that you're well-informed, Bernard!"
Though she had just returned from the Killian residence, Bernard had already gotten the news about her contract with Rhett.
"The entire world probably knows about it now." Bernard finished washing the dishes and wiped his hands before showing her his phone.
Fifteen minutes ago, Killian Corporation Official had posted something on Twitter.
It read, "We warmly welcome 'Ms. Raven' into our company. She'll be the new Head of Technology, aiding us in creating a new batch of chips."
After reading that, Hera kept quiet.
Rhett behaved hastily without checking his sources! She hadn't even confirmed her first day of work yet, but he had already informed his employees to announce the news. Was he afraid that she would go back on her word?
"Are you seriously going to do this?" Bernard sat down and faced her.
Hera held Tiramisu and replied, "I've already signed the contract."
This made Bernard a little unhappy, and he stared at her in silence for a while.
A while later, he asked, "Are you doing this to investigate Lucius' death?"
