Chapter 60 Sherry
1122words
After taking a shower, she immediately went to the kitchen to make dinner. She hasn't eaten for the whole day, and she felt so hungry.
She was so busy making dinner that she didn't realize when a figure stands at the kitchen door.
Sherry watched the woman who had her hair tied up in a messy bun, wearing a beige crop top and short blue denim pants.
She couldn't help but admit that this woman definitely had a good figure and she hated it.
She doesn't like when someone else tries to show off their beauty in front of her. She felt threatened.
When she felt threatened, she will take action to get rid of the threat.
"Do you need some help?" She asked.
"Ah!"
Shocked, Vale who's still cutting vegetables cried out when the knife landed on her index finger.
She immediately moved to the kitchen sink. She put her injured hands under the water while her free hands moved to the cabinet above her head.
"Are you looking for this?"
Vale turned around when she heard the red vixen voice behind her. She was holding a first aid kit.
"Thanks," Vale takes the first aid kit from the red vixen.
"Let me help you," Sherry offered.
Her heart smiled, looking at the woman who injured her own finger's.
"No need," Vale refused and immediately tended to her injuries on her own.
After that, she went busy with making dinner. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the red vixen are also preparing something to cook.
"Do you know how Keith and I first met? He saw me eating some cookie dough and peanut butter waffles under the tree at the park. He asked me if he can have a bite of it,"
Vale's eyes turn dark when she heard the red vixen talks. Vale guessed that this woman must have some connection with Keith in the past.
Keith had never told her about this.
"I cooked it myself. Keith loves the food I cook, but he particularly likes to eat these two snacks more because it reminds him of when we first met. He also let me visit his house from time to time to cook for him,"
Vale felt her ears bleed.
She could only bite her tongue and try to finish cooking dinner without destroying the kitchen.

Five men watch the dinner table with astonishment. They never had dinner as big as this before. The long dinner table was almost full of food.
Soft footsteps approached them from behind.
When they turned around, Sherry came out from the kitchen carrying dishes.
Other than Keith, the other four men were shocked when they saw her. They had some work to do in the afternoon, so naturally, they didn't know about Sherry's arrival.
"Sherry, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell us?" Jake approached Sherry, and they hugged after she put the dishes on the table.
"This afternoon, I want it to be a surprise,"
After recovering from their shock, Dylan, Caleb and Brett frowned.
This woman is the one who broke their friend's heart. So, naturally, they gave her the cold shoulder.
Jake and Sherry are close. It's normal for him to greet her.
"Why are there so many foods on the table?" Dylan asked.
This food will be wasted if they couldn't finish it all.
"Ah, I just thought that since I came back today, I would treat you to a meal. I cooked this myself," Sherry smiles.
They all sat down.
Naturally, Keith sat at the head of the table. So, Sherry immediately sat on Keith right-hand side.
Four sharp pair of eyes landed on Sherry. That place belonged to their Lady Boss, the one where Vale had sat after she joined the tables long times ago.
"Where's Vale?" Dylan just finished speaking when they heard footsteps approach them.
Vale came out from the kitchen with her last dishes and immediately narrowed her eyes when she saw that her seat had been taken.
She glanced at the empty seat on Keith left-hand side. But, she doesn't want to face Sherry.
So, she walked to the end's of the table and sat on it facing Keith.
The others look at her with shock when they saw her action. Because sitting at the end of the table while facing Keith means that she and Keith are equal.
However, Vale didn't take notice of this and cleared her throat indifferently.
"Let's eat," She spoke with the tone of the hostess of the house.
They immediately moved their gazes from her and started piling food on their plates.
Sherry's eyes burn in envy and hate.
"K, this is your favourite. Why don't you try it?" She put the food she had cooked herself on Keith's plate.
"You still remember," Surprisingly, Keith didn't object Sherry sitting beside him, and he talked softly to her.
Vale's eyes twitch a bit, but she kept silent as she takes a bit of everything she had cooked. Never touching what Sherry made at all.
"Sherry, did you cook all of this by yourself?" Caleb asked.
"Of course, did it taste good?" Sherry's eyes flickered a bit towards Vale with guilt.
Originally, most of the food is cooked by Vale according to the men's favourite.
"Then, how did you know my favourite food? I never told you about it," Caleb sneered.
"Ah, I remember you used to eat these too in the past," Sherry panicked for a bit.
"I didn't like this in the past. My taste change every year," Caleb said coldly.
"Sherry, this is also one of my favourite food. How did you know?" Brett also throws the question at her.
Sherry was baffled for a moment.
"The taste of this food is so familiar. Don't you agree, Keith?" Dylan glance at Keith.
"Ah! This tasted like Vale's seasoning," Jake exclaimed.
Vale's heart softened a bit when she heard the guys defended her. She stuffs more food in her mouth happily.
"What are you saying? Sherry also can cook this kind of food," Keith answered made the whole table went silent.
Sherry was overjoyed when Keith defended her and didn't hesitate to kiss Keith's cheek.
"I know you loved me the most," She said.
The sound of metal cracking fills the whole mansion.
"I'm full. I'm taking a walk," Vale got up from the table, throwing the broken spoon on the table, before sprinting towards the mansion entrance and snatched the guard's car key.
Seeing that it was the Lady Boss who snatched his key, the guard could only pray that his car would come back in the same shape.
