Lucinda paused.
What was so urgent?
Judging from Malcolmâs expression, she was sure that something was wrong.
Lucinda didnât waste any more time after that.
Two minutes later, she rushed to the office on the top floor.
She opened the door and found Cyrus sitting in his chair with his back to her.
He leaned back into the chair as though he was looking at a mural on the wall.
âCyrus? Whatâs wrong?â
Lucinda addressed him this way instead of âMr.
Simmonsâ since there was no one around.
âSurprise!â Cyrus turned to her.
He opened the lunch box he had in his hand and the smell of spicy and delicious food filled the room.
âMary said I abuse you because you have to eat in the employee canteen.
So, she made your favorite beef stew.
Are you surprised?â
Lucinda was amused by his childish behavior.
âSo this was the emergency youâre talking about?â
Cyrus put the Lunch box down, stood up and walked towards her.
With a doting smile on his face, he said, âWell, yes! My little princess has to have lunch.
Of course itâs an emergency!â
Lucinda just smiled happily.
Cyrus pulled her to the sofa where other dishes had been served on the coffee table.
He then put the beef stew on the table as well.
Lucinda smelled the food and nodded appreciatively.
Mary was really good at cooking.
It was much better than the food in the canteen.
âItâs delicious, but please donât do it again.
If I keep coming to have lunch with you in your office, the other employees will start asking questions,â she said while chewing.
âSay that to Mary yourself.
She doesnât listen to me anymore after you moved in,â Cyrus said with a faint smile.
Lucinda nodded and continued eating.

Now that she was eating, she realized that she had been really hungry.
Maryâs food was absolutely delicious.
There was no way to resist it.
When Cyrus saw her eating like a cute squirrel, he couldnât stop himself from hooking her nose.
Lucinda smiled back at him and kept eating.
They chatted about their daily lives as they ate.
The atmosphere in the office was really lively.
At one point, Malcolm knocked on the door and came in.
He stood at the door and said in a low voice, âMr.
Simmons, Miss Hernandez is here to see you.
â
Lucinda looked up at Cyrus and was surprised to see that he was frowning.
