Chapter 406 Lunchbox
She knew her way around the McCarthy Properties so she went straight to the office building. Some
acquaintances greeted her with smiles. Some people who didn't know her well murmured when they
saw her carrying a lunchbox and pressing the 38th floor on the elevator.
The chairman's office was on the 38th floor. People know who Natalia was and wondered if she was
bringing him a meal.
Considering the fact that the chairman had been a bachelor for so many years, even his relationship
with Selena was only a rumor in the press that he had never acknowledged.
Now this woman had become his wife. Though everyone was polite and flattering to her, they actually
were all envious and jealous of her.
Natalia felt that they were staring at her and was glad that she didn't have to be in the office every day.
If she had to work in her office, people would gossip and stare at her all the time.
When the elevator reached the 16th floor, the door opened and Brian walked in. He clearly didn't
expect to see her here.
"Mrs. McCarthy, why are you here?"
Natalia hid the lunchbox behind her and smiled.
"I was doing nothing at home so I want to come by."
Brian seemed to know what she was here for.
"You're here for Mr. McCarthy, right? He is in his office now and hasn't have lunch yet."
Natalia nodded and acted cool.
Seeing that, Brian tried not to laugh and pretended not to see the lunchbox hidden behind her.
Not after long, the elevator reached the 38th floor.
When the elevator door opened, Brian went out first and held the door for her, "Mrs. McCarthy, please
be careful."
Natalia walked out and the two of them headed to the chairman's office.novelbin
"Mr. McCarthy, here's the last three months' data of the Strategy Department that you requested for."
Archie was writing something. He didn't look up and just pointed at the desk on which piles of papers
were put there.
"Put it there."
"Okay."
Brian did what he said and then said, "Anything else, Mr. McCarthy?"
Archie waved.
That meant that there was nothing else needed to be done. Brian left the room and closed the door
before he exited.
Natalia stood quietly with the lunchbox, glancing the office she rarely visited.
The office was large, with one floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides. So the room was well lit.
His desk was far from the door on the left, next to a large bookcase filled with all kinds of books.
To the right was a meeting area, with a huge projector curtain covering the entire wall. Natalia had seen
him meeting with several foreigners there last time.
Behind the meeting area was a lounge area with sofas, refrigerators, a water dispenser and even a
separate cubicle designed to be a bathroom.
Archie worked very hard. He would not have noticed her arrival had he not raised his hand to take the
glass and found it empty.
"Lia?"
He looked up, looking stunned, "Why are you here?"
Natalia walked over and put down the lunchbox. She took the empty glass from his hand, walked to the
lounge, poured water and handed it back to him.
She said unwillingly, "Mrs. Dottie asked me to bring you lunch."
Archie took a look at the lunchbox and raised his eyebrows, "Mrs. Dottie asked you to do that?"
Natalia nodded.
She looked quite honest and sincere.
Archie sensed something unusual. After all, Mrs. Dottie had known that he would have lunch at the
office and had not delivered lunch for him for years. Why did she suddenly think of asking Natalia to do
that?
He noticed she was too proud to admit she was caring for him.
So he looked at her contently and pretended to be suspicious, "Who made this?"
"Of course, it was Mrs. Dottie," said Natalia without any hesitation.
To hide her awkwardness, she stepped aside, took a glass of water, and drank carelessly.
Archie was even more suspicious but he didn't give it away. He just put down his work, picked up his
lunchbox and went to the lounge.
"Since Mrs. Dottie was kind enough, I'll try it."
He sat on the sofa, unpacking lunchbox and looking at her in the eyes.
She was drinking, but her eyes kept glancing that way.
Archie smiled and opened the lunchbox. The dishes were sim
The simplicity of the dishes made it even more obvious that it was not Mrs. Dottie's cooking.
If Mrs. Dottie did cook these dishes, it would be complex and nutritious, and he wouldn't be fooled by
home-cooked meal.
Archie took out his chopsticks and had a bite.
It tasted pretty nice.
Natalia was a little nervous when she saw him eat it. She leaned over and asked, "How is it?"
Archie wanted to tease her and said, "I thought you tried Mrs. Dottie's dishes before, didn't you?"
Natalia was speechless.
At this point of time, she couldn't admit that she made the lunch.
Seeing him eating emotionlessly, she felt quite uneasy.
"But I haven't eaten the meal she made today."
After a long time's consideration, she came up with this lame excuse.
Hearing that, Archie passed her the chopsticks kindly and asked, "You wanna try?"
Natalia waved her hands, "No, thank you."
Was he kidding! She tried it before it was packed in the box. She thought it was pretty good but wasn't
sure whether he would like it or not.
He was used to all kinds of delicacies and she wondered if he would like this home-made meal.
After finishing the whole thing, Archie wiped his mouth with napkins and said, "I like it. Ask Mrs. Dottie
to make more of this next time."
Natalia was finally relieved.
She giggled and said, "Okay, I'll tell her."
Archie felt very content when he saw her smiling like this. Was this woman trying so hard just to please
him?
He grabbed her suddenly. Before Natalia knew it, he kissed her on the lips.
This kiss wasn't that nice.
He had just eaten and the taste of food was still in his mouth, and it was also in her mouth now.
Natalia was pissed off. She nudged him and he wouldn't budge.
So she bit his lips.
The man hummed and let her move. That bite left a mark on his lips and it was bleeding.
He stared at her and said huskily, "Naughty kitty."
