Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Culinary Charms

In his casual attire, Patrick was engrossed in the kitchen, preparing breakfast, basking in the gentle rays of sunlight that streamed through the window. Jane found herself entranced by his striking features – his handsome face, chiseled nose, and those sensuous, slightly curled lips. He seemed more animated and vibrant, a departure from his usual work-related stoicism. Even wearing an apron, he was a sight to behold.

Jane couldn't tear her gaze away, but Patrick eventually noticed her presence and greeted her, "You're awake."

Shaking off her stupor, Jane inquired, "Why are you in the kitchen?"

"Amy requested the day off," Patrick replied softly.

Jane nodded, realizing that their usual cook was absent. "Oh, I see. Do you know how to cook?"

Patrick responded with a friendly smile, "You can have a taste." It was unmistakable that Patrick was an excellent cook.

"It's delicious," Jane complimented as she sat at the table and tasted Patrick's cooking. She hadn't expected that the CEO, a man of his stature, would be such a skilled chef.

Jane's perception of Patrick began to shift. "You can eat more if you like it," he suggested, placing another sandwich on her plate.

Jane felt a warmth washing over her as Patrick demonstrated care and concern for her. "Thank you," she said with a smile.

Patrick wasn't such a terrible person, she thought. He was tall, handsome, well-built, wealthy, and a formidable businessman who could achieve anything he set his mind to. As long as he wasn't quick-tempered and moody, he could indeed be a perfect man.

Perhaps she should heed her grandfather's advice.

As they continued to enjoy their pleasant breakfast together, Patrick's phone interrupted the warm ambiance. He answered it impatiently, "What's up?"

Morton's voice came through the line, "Sir, regarding the falling ceiling lamp in the studio, we've identified the employees responsible for its maintenance."

Patrick inquired in a low voice, "And?"

Morton continued, "There were three employees conducting maintenance and inspections at the time. One of them has since resigned, and the other two workers confirm that the one who resigned was responsible for inspecting the lamp."

"Dig deeper into that former employee's background," Patrick ordered, his expression darkening, and his thin lips curving slightly.

After ending the call, Jane asked eagerly, "Have you made any progress? Do we know who caused it?"
