Chapter 110 - Marriage (1/2)

Ch-109

Eleanor started washing vegetables as Cedric cooked. She cut them the way he asked her to. Cedric was amazed by her knife skills. She cut the vegetables like a professional.

”You cut like a professional,” he couldn't help but comment when he saw her.

”Of course, don't you know her highness did Bachelor of Catering and Culinary Arts,” Eleanor said with pride.

Indeed! How could he forget that!

”It slipped from my mind. Sorry,”  he said.

”Don't bother. Everyone thinks that I am a business management graduate seeing the way I handle the work,” she said with a sigh.

”Yeah…. Did your brother teach you how to do business?” he asked.

”Yeah. Even though our family business was good at a certain period… It faced too many losses. After my brother finished his studies, he used to work overtime. I used to ask him how to work intending to help as much as I can. Even though I wasn't any help, he still taught me. After seeing my brother teaching me, dad used to teach me too. But I never handled the business. I am handling it only after my brother fell unconscious,” Eleanor said.

”Hmmm…” Cedric hummed. He could see pride oozing from her eyes when he praised her knife skills. He can understand the pain she was going through. The pain of not being able to do the things they like stabs them.

”If you want I will handle your company. You can pursue your career,” Cedric said.

”No!” Eleanor yelled.

”Why?” Cedric asked, surprised at her sudden yell.

”I promised my brother I will take care of the company till he wakes up,” Eleanor said.

”Sigh… okay. If you ever need help ask me, okay?” he said.

”Okay. But I only want you to promise me something,” Eleanor asked.

”Yes?” he replied.

”I want you not to be partial with the resort bidding,” Eleanor said.

”Even though… I value and respect relationships. Business is business. I won't involve feelings in it,” he said.

Eleanor took a spatula from the side and threw it on him. A nice bump formed on his forehead because of her hit.

”Why?” Cedric asked exasperated.

”When I called you for slot changes for the ppt presentation. You asked me if I wanted the project or not. Don't lie to me, Liar!” Eleanor said.
