When Hans returned to the office, he found Serena clumsily opening a lunch box with her bandaged
hands, revealing the delicate pastries inside.
"Hans, you're back? Come, try the pastries I made!" Serena greeted with a smile, “I made them before I
got injured. I left some at home for mom and dad, and for Clark too."
“You made these?” Hans asked, looking at the two dozen delicate pastries before him.
“Yes, the chef taught me!" Serena looked at him expectantly, “Try them."
“You've not fully recovered from your cold. You need rest more." Hans picked up a piece of honey cake
and took a bite, “Not bad."
While it was not on par with a professional chef, for a first attempt, it was quite good.
“Really?” Serena was even happier. She also picked up a piece of honey cake, about to take a bite, but
her jerk of mouth opening caused the pain on her chin.
“You haven't told me what happened to you?" Hans suddenly asked.
Serena froze for a moment, thinking that Hans must have heard from the servants that she was
chasing after Arabella to apologize and accidentally got hurt. Now he was asking this deliberately,
surely he wanted to see if she'd take the opportunity to bad-mouth Arabella.
But Serena wouldn't fall for that!
So she put on a mature and understanding look, and calmly said, “I fell by accident."
She didn't mention Arabella at all.
"That's it?" Hans asked again.
"Yes, I was walking too fast.” Serena quickly changed the subject, picked up a fancy four-section lunch
box, and handed it to Hans, "Hans, try these. These are green bean cakes. Did I do a good job?"
“They look good,” Hans gave a positive answer, and picked up another piece to try, “taste good too"
“With your praise, Hans, I'll strive to do even better!” Serena grinned, a pure and beautiful smile, "Next
time I'll make more delicious treats for you. Hans, there's juice here."
Seeing Hans eating, Serena suddenly sighed, “Hans, it feels so good to sit with you and have
afternoon tea. We haven't chatted and laughed like this in a long time. Thank you for caring me for so
many years."
Hans looked up and said, "Then tell me, what's the deal with Martha's video?"
Serena was stunned by his words, and a bit guilty, "What do you mean, Hans? I don't know what you're
talking about."
“I can see it, Martha has something on Bella. Tell me the truth, if it's not serious, I can consider letting it
go."
Serena didn't believe it. She had just said a few bad words about Arabella to her friends, and Hans had
punished her so severely, even including Martha, who had been deducted her salary and year-end
bonus.
If Hans found out that Martha had spilled oil in an attempt to make Arabella slip, Martha would surely
end up far from good!
“Hans, it's a misunderstanding. It was a short video, nothing important. She just asked if I had kept it~
Hans clearly didn't believe her, "You're trying to fool me with such an excuse?"
“It's really nothing. If you don't believe me, ask her." Serena was sure that with Arabella's character,
she wouldn't gossip behind her back.
Hans was silent for a moment, then looked at the girl in front of him, “Serena, did Martha teach you all
this kind of things?"
