The Spoiled Girl

In the garden, Carlos was sitting on a chair and enjoying the fresh air when he overheard two servants talking.

"Did you hear? Miss Shen volunteered to make breakfast," one servant said.

"I know. I even saw it with my own eyes. She dismissed the kitchen staff to the living room," the other replied while sweeping the floor.

"Well, do you..."

Carlos could not hear the rest of the conversation. He was stunned. 'Cherish volunteered to make breakfast?' he thought. 'Is it possible she caused the commotion there just now?'

With that thought, Carlos rushed as fast as he could to the kitchen. Could something bad have happened to Cherish? His heart began pounding against his chest. He was worried.

Cherish was no longer in the kitchen when Carlos got there. He was about to go to her room when he found her sitting in the living room.

He strode over and barked, "Are you insane? What were you doing trying to cook in the kitchen? Do you even know how to do that?"

Cherish was tending to her burns when Carlos started yelling. She raised her head to look at him in confusion.

Seeing her in a daze, Carlos could not help yelling some more. "You little fool!"

He pulled Cherish up, turned her around, and examined her carefully. Other than the burns on her hands, she was fine. Carlos was able to relax a little.

"Are you hurt?" Carlos asked after noticing the open first aid kit on the table. He spoke in such a worried voice that even he himself did not recognize.

Cherish could only stare blankly at Carlos' distraught face.

'Why is he so upset? Is it just me or does he finally care?' she thought.

"Cherish, are you hurt?" Carlos asked again when Cherish did not answer.

'What happened to her? Can she not hear me?' he wondered.

Carlos waved his hand in front of Cherish's eyes but she still did not respond. He cursed under his b

u to deal with?" he asked.

"Already solved. Several shareholders of the KING Group have agreed to cooperate. Now we just need them to sign the contract."

"Great. Arrange the contract signing. It has to be done as soon as possible so as to avoid anything unexpected,"

Jacob said, putting down the pen in his hand.

"Consider it done, sir. Anything else?"

"That's all for now. Thank you." Waving his hand, Jacob dismissed Sam.

After Sam left, Jacob stood in front of his office's French windows and looked down at the city. A smile spread across his face.

On the day of the contract signing, Jacob took his men to the appointed hotel. It had been half an hour past the appointed time, but the shareholders of the KING Group had not shown up.

"What happened? Why haven't they arrived?" several company shareholders behind Jacob whispered in confusion.

A few more moments later, Jacob checked his watch. It had been an hour, but there was still no sign of the shareholders of the KING Group.

Sam was also beginning to worry.

"Mr. Shen, can you please call them? Maybe something has happened," one of the shareholders urged Sam.

Glancing at Jacob, Sam nodded at the shareholder and quickly stepped out of the VIP room.
