The CEO's Sweet Chef

Chapter 9: Rejection

Freddy glided smoothly into Katherine's porch, an affectionate smile on his face. Just a few steps forward, Freddy found Katherine Manson sitting on the balcony drinking hot milk. Katherine's eyes looked at Freddy as if she had seen a demon appear. He remembered Lance's advice, without a trace of doubt in his heart, he hurriedly knelt in front of Katherine. Freddy closed his eyes, tried his best to calm himself, and shouted. Freddy's voice resounded throughout the street, people from other houses rushed outside like bees: "Katherine Manson, I love you, agree to be my girlfriend!"

The neighbor's uncle, the neighbor, the neighbor's brother and sister were sitting and chatting together in the room because of Freddy's screams, but they ran out to see the excitement. Katherine Manson saw Freddy's expression and shivered, terrified. She couldn't believe Freddy would say such things. Katherine thought Freddy was here to avenge her for pouring food on him, but his actions were far beyond what she could have imagined. Katherine had been frozen in place ever since, almost dropping the glass of hot milk in her hand. Katherien's haunting face stared down from the balcony at what Freddy had brought, leaving her mouth gaping and speechless.

"Agree! Agree! Agree!" A neighbor immediately clapped his hands to the beat for the others to follow. Although no one knew that Katherine Manson was next to her in her heart, it was like someone was burning a fire. At the same time, the surrounding residents thought that Freddy's actions were extremely romantic. They stood clapping to the beat, and shouted as if forcing her to 'yes' to Freddy's confession. Some people took out their phones to take pictures or record video clips again. Thanks to everyone's cheers, Freddy's confidence in victory was maximized, his eyes were still waiting, full of hope, looking at Katherine. As for Katherine, she became dumbfounded, not knowing how to act, so she closed her eyes and breathed in order to regulate her heart rate in her chest.

About thirty minutes ago, Lance Howling called to confirm the progress of Freddy's confession work, to see how good his brother was. Freddy also confidently informed him that he would have to go to dinner with his "lover" today, so he would be late. Lance Howling did not need to wait for the door. As soon as Lance Howling heard it, he was excited, thinking that he would have a chance to laugh at Freddy comfortably. He imagined how painful the image of his brother being 'lost' would be. Lance's attitude was silently cursed by his assistant. No ordinary person could become so happy when he be treated badly, even making fun of his younger brother. Lance Howling sat in the President's Office happily completing unfinished documents as well as sketching out some working options for the department. After that, he asked the assistant driver to prepare to drive him home, due to an unexpected business that he had to stay at the Group to deal with the core employees also had to stay with him. When leaving the headquarters of the Corporation, Lance Howling displayed a cold face that made anyone who saw it scared away. However, as soon as he got into the car, Lance immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his face was happy and excited, and he pointed towards the house. While crossing a street in a residential area to avoid traffic jams, Lance's assistant immediately spotted a familiar car.

“President, the red Ferrari with the license plate number 99999 is so pretty, isn't it, Chairman? Super car with super license plate.” As soon as the assistant drove up, he said to Lance Howling in surprise.

"Isn't this my car?" He leaned over to look at the car and widened his eyes in horror.

“Oh, so Freddy is here?” Lance's male assistant smiled and looked at the Ferrari. This was a lovely coincidence for him, but not so with Lance Howling. Lance is curious to know how things are going, but if he gets out of the car, Freddy will see him.

“Stop the car! Stop the car quickly!” Lance Howling loudly, hastily lowered the window of the car. He excitedly looked at the red Ferrari, directly confirming that it was his car that he lent to Freddy. Lance Howling looked inside the house, then at the car, repeating this action twice, causing the assistant to squint curiously at Lance Howling's reaction. In front of the house, Freddy was kneeling to confess. Lance laughed when he saw Freddy like that and he still couldn't see her face clearly.

Right now, some of the residents of the surrounding area were slowly starting to seem annoyed. Lance Howling suddenly became a reluctant listener to their conversation.

“Today I really broadened my horizons. That Katherine Manson girl, normally only seen crouching in the room, has suddenly become a charming assassin. Are there any handsome men who come to confess?"

"It's almost twelve o'clock at night, and then suddenly a certain i***t appeared, dressed like crazy and came here to confess. I really want to sleep, but I can't sleep. I have to go find food to 'gnaw' on my own humiliation."

“Here are the chocolates, the balloons, the roses. When you meet me, you nod your head in agreement.”

Lance Howling heard the words 'chocolate, balloons, roses'. Aren't these the things he instructed Freddy to do to 'take one's heart out'? Lance's heart was filled with such feelings of joy that he burst into laughter.

“Freddy is finally able to do such a great job.” Lance Howling's unceasingly cheerful face, eyes filled with laughter, directed at Freddy's place, making people there immediately fascinated by his beauty. Lance Howling glanced eagerly, waiting for something good to happen. He quickly motioned to his assistant to wait a moment. Lance Howling's unceasingly cheerful face made Nguyen Hung want to hear a few more words. The atmosphere in the car suddenly became jubilant. The more Lance Howling thought about it, the more he realized that he was too 'great', he was extremely pleased when he drew a path for the deer to run.

As for Katherine Manson, as soon as she saw Freddy appear, thousands of questions popped up in her head. Katherine couldn't understand if what was happening was real because she was growing increasingly confused. For the first time in her life, Katherine was confessed to in the middle of the night like this. And she also realized that she didn't want to face such annoying, boring things. For a long time Katherine felt that love and romantic relationships were a waste of time and effort. She immediately went into the room, slammed the door, and quickly ran down to stand in front of Freddy, both him and the people around him expecting a 'yes' answer to come out of her own mouth. Katherine looked at Freddy with bored eyes. Even Katherine had to admit that Freddy was very handsome and romantic. His features were extremely attractive to her, making her unable to take her eyes off her. Then, as soon as a smile appeared on Freddy's face, she could only sigh, signaling a not-so-beautiful and happy ending for this unexpected confession event. Katherine Manson frankly answered, she did not want a vague, ambiguous answer about love: “No! I don't like you. I don't even know who you are. We've only met twice. Don't act like a p*****t like this or I'll call the police!"

“But I like you! I really like you! Like crazy, love is indescribable! Everything I ever imagined, ever dreamed of my girlfriend was you. He apologized for his foolish actions in the VIP area of ​​the Home Sweet Home restaurant. At that time, you acted like a bad guy and hurt me. I know this apology is late and you probably won't believe me, but if you give me a chance to prove it, I'll try to make up for it at all costs." Freddy fought back so fiercely that Katherine Manson herself was a bit surprised by his reaction. She didn't expect that he could say such words to her heart. She frowned slightly when she heard him say, although Katherine Manson found Freddy's words to be sincere, she did not dare to put too much faith in such sudden things.

“We have only met twice. How can you be so sure of your feelings?” Katherine Manson tried to gently converse with Freddy. She wanted him to understand her feelings, but she also didn't want him to get hurt.

"Because I know, you are my destiny, the most perfect piece of me." Freddy poured out all the thoughts in his heart and confessed to Katherine Manson as instructed by Lance Howling. He clutched the bouquet in his hand, standing up to face Katherine Manson. Freddy's gaze drifted deep into Katherine Manson's.

“But I still haven't had any feelings for you, not at all. If I really have any feelings for him, then it is definitely anger when he intentionally makes things difficult for me at the Restaurant. Therefore, love must be reciprocated by both sides.” Katherine Manson gradually grew impatient as the eyes around her were focused on her and Freddy. They began to lose heart, talking about Katherine Manson's rejection of him.
