Scarlett looked down to see it was her favourite mushroom soup.
"I won't drink it," she mumbled.
Steven pushed the bowl closer to her. "You must finish it."
As they went back and forth, Sarah watched knowingly, hiding her smile behind her hand.
Melvin had also noticed something and spoke up, "Why don't you join us for dinner once you've finished
cooking?"
"No!" Steven and Scarlett shouted at Melvin in unison.
After all the dishes were served, Steven glanced at Scarlett. "Cwithfor a moment. | have something to
give you."
Scarlett was confused but obediently stood up and followed him.
In Steven's break room, which was as well-appointed as a hotel suite befitting a top chef, Scarlett stood at the
doorway, reluctant to enter. "What do you want to give me?"
"How can | give it to you if you don't cin?"
Scarlett finally stepped inside. As soon as she did, Steven slammed the door shut and pinned her against the
wall.
"Why did you run away that day?"

Steven was breathing heavily, seemingly struggling to contain his anger.
That day, Steven had been brewing ginger tea for her in the kitchen. The sound of him chopping ginger had
made her restless.
The events of that night were still vivid in her mind - why had they ended up in bed together again?
Watching Steven's back in the kitchen, she couldn't tell if she liked him or not, but her racing heart couldn't lie.
In her panic, she had limped away from his home.
"Answer me." Steven's eyes were blazing.
Scarlett avoided his gaze and stammered, "I was scared."
"Scared?" Steven narrowed his eyes, surprised by her answer. "Scared of what?"
"Scared that... | might like you."
Steven's breath caught. He couldn't describe the feeling, only that his heart was racing.
"Why are you afraid of that?"
"Melvin, do you think those two will end up together?" Sarah asked while savoring the food before them.
"Hard to say. One keeps running away, and the other's afraid to speak up," Melvin replied calmly.
"Today at the auction, when | told you about Zachary givingthe planning document, you didn't seem
surprised. You're not even strongly opposingmeeting him anymore."
Melvin responded expressionlessly, "I don't need to stop you two now, do I? | can see what's going on."

"Melvin, could you givea section of Pine Mist Island? It doesn't need to be
large - just a small area in the resort portion would be fine."
Melvin looked at her curiously. "Sure, but what do you want to do with it?"
"| can't say yet. It's a secret for now," Sarah smiled.
"We only got Pine Mist Island thanks to you, and the Sanders Corporation is yours
too. You can do whatever you want," Melvin smiled.
He had never intended to keep his cousin's property - he was just managing it for
her.
