Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 598

Lucy was very surprised.

She knew Simon’s assistant. He was from the North and was called Shane.

She did not expect that a grown man like him would know how to make soup.

Lucy felt embarrassed and was about to refuse, but Simon did not give her the chance.

The director called him and he replied before quickly standing up and saying to Lucy, “Lulu, I’m going to film first. I’ll talk to you later at lunchtime.”

Then, he hurried away.

Lucy opened her mouth but the words of refusal stuck in her throat without coming out. In the end, she could only swallow it back.

At noon, Shane brought her a thermos of tonic soup.

Shane was young, only in his twenties. He was very handsome and had a sweet mouth and liked to call others “brother” and “sister”.

Everyone in the crew liked him.

However, Lucy did not know if she was imagining it but she felt like the way Shane looked at her today seemed a little different from before.

It felt like… There was an inexplicable attentiveness and eagerness in it.

It was like a lost lamb finally finding its mother.

Lucy was a bit confused but did not dare to ask too many questions, so she accepted the soup after thanking him.

Soon, Simon came running over with a small stool.

“Lulu.”

Lucy looked at his bright smile and had a strange feeling in her heart.

She tugged the corners of her mouth in a superficial smile and asked, “You’re shooting?”

“Yeah, I’m starving. By the way, has the soup been delivered?”

Lucy nodded and pointed to the blue thermos beside her. “I haven’t had the chance to drink it yet, but it smells quite nice.”

Hearing this, Simon smiled mysteriously and said, “Then, you have to try it now. Let me tell you, the reason why I chose Shane as my assistant at the beginning was because I heard that he cooked delicious food and soup. As you know, as actors, we have to pay attention to our diet. If the little food we can eat isn’t delicious, wouldn’t it be too much of an injustice? Don’t you agree?”

Lucy did not know how to answer that and could only smile and nod frequently.

“You’re right.”

“So, try it. Here, I’ll help you.”

“Oh, there’s no need, really. I’ll do it.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Simon ignored what she said and took the thermos before he ladled out a bowl for her.

Then, he presented it to her like a treasure. He said with a pair of sparkling eyes, “Here, try it.”

Lucy’s smile grew awkward. She could not stand such enthusiasm in her heart but she did not dare to refuse either.

Thus, she could only take it and have a taste.

Truly, the soup was really delicious.

It was fresh and not greasy, and a slightly sweet aftertaste lingered on her palate after drinking it. It had the style of a professional chef.

From the moment she started to drink the soup, Simon had been watching her with eager eyes.

After she finished drinking, he quickly asked, “How was it?”

Lucy nodded. “It was good. It’s delicious.”

“Right?” Only then did Simon laugh happily. “I told you that Shane’s cooking is good.”

Lucy was not lying about her compliment. She was merely being truthful.
