“Alex. I was just looking for you! I wasn’t expecting you to be out and about, but now, I can save myselfthe trouble of sending for you,” Zack said sincerely, a lunch box in his hand.
After glancing at the lunch box, Alex immediately realized Zack must’ve brought food for him, whichwas such a thoughtful gesture.novelbin
“Did you make this?” Alex asked.
Zack laughed and nodded excitedly. “I can work in the Grant family’s kitchen from today onward, Alex!1 don’t have to be a security guard anymore. They’ve put me in charge of peeling potatoes andwashing vegetables, and even though I’m still not allowed to cook, I’m confident of working my way up!Anyway, I’ve specially made this dinner for you. Please give it a try. You’ve truly helped me a lot today,Alex. I don’t have any special skills or money, so all I can offer you are these useless items… I’m sorryabout that.”
Alex quickly gave the dejected-looking Zack a reassuring pat. “You’re an upstanding man, so stopbeing so wishy-washy. Man up and be proud of yourself. Since you’ve prepared the food for me, bring itover so I can try it!”
Upon receiving and opening the lunch box, Alex was pleasantly surprised to find the most delectable-looking steak bites inside. He might have tasted some of the best delicacies in the world, but eventhen, he couldn’t help but drool at the sight of the steak bites.
Without further ado, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. Wow! This dish is perfect. Ithas checked all the boxes for taste, aroma, and appearance! Zack’s cooking skills are indeedimpressive. This must be why he’s chubby, huh? The food he makes is just too tasty.
Before long. Alex had wolved down the steak bites and spaghetti in the lunch box and promptly wipgrease from his lips. “Your cooking skills are truly amazing! It’s such a pity that you’re working herethough. Say, why don’t you join me instead?”
If our family had a chef like Zack, even someone as disciplined as me wouldn’t escape the fate ofgaining a few kilograms. Then again, if he accepts my offer, Dad and Stanley would be in for a treat!
Naturally, Zack wasn’t expecting Alex to make such a request, so for a moment, he was dumbfounded.“Alex, did you just say it’s a pity for me to stay here and that you want me to follow you?”
“That’s right! Are you willing to come with me and give up the opportunity of entering the secret world?”Alex asked curiously.
It was already quite a twist of fate for Alex and Zack to have met on a bus and dealt with Cory together.On top of that, Zack had even gone the extra mile to prepare and deliver a delicious dinner. How couldAlex not be moved by the man’s genuine goodness and unpretentious demeanor?
If Zack is willing to give up on joining the secret world to follow me, I’ll definitely treat him well for therest of his life. If he doesn’t, I’ll stay out of his affairs once I’ve dealt with those from the secret world…
Upon hearing Alex’s words, Zack, too, felt somewhat hesitant. Oh, dear… I’ve only just met Alex today,and there’s so much I don’t know about him. I could stay in the secret world and be content withworking in the kitchen. It may be a menial job, but I’d still have the honor of serving the deities. Plentyof people would wish they were in my
shoes!
“Very well. I shall follow you, Alex! Please forgive my past ignorance and call me Zackie from now on,”Zack said firmly.
After all, Alex had saved his life, so what reason did he have to reject his savior’s offer?
Alex’s original plan had been to get rid of the remaining elders of Leight Sect later that night, but Zackwas so enthusiastic that the two of them started chatting over a carton of beer. Despite not having anyfinger food to go with the drinks, both men still enjoyed themselves tremendously.
It didn’t matter that one of them was an extraordinarily talented genius worth hundreds of billions, whilethe other was a humble countryman from an impoverished, rural village.
Their vastly different backgrounds made it all the more interesting as they talked and laughed the nightaway. Alex, especially, was content with listening to Zack share his stories and experiences.
