Chapter 389: 389: What Kind of Cheating is This?

Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova got in the car, and Cindy said, “I’ll take you to the company first, and then I’ll go home.”

“Okay.” Adrian nodded.

“What do you want for lunch? I’ll cook it and bring it to you,” Cindy said again.

“You don’t have to prepare lunch for me today,” Adrian said.

“Why? Do you have social engagements for lunch today?” Cindy asked casually.

“No, I just wanted an excuse to see you more when you were delivering my food before,” Adrian said honestly.

Cindy was instantly speechless.

She had no idea how many traps this man had set for her before!

“Well…back then you were so distant with me, even a little scared of me,” Adrian said.

“I wasn’t scared of you, I felt like our worlds were too far apart. I subconsciously thought I had to keep my distance from you,” Cindy said, “Now that I think about it, it was because I was afraid I would fall for you, that I would like you.”

“From my perspective at the time, falling in love with you was very unrealistic and misguided. So I wanted to stay away from you and not do something stupid,” Cindy said.

Upon hearing this, Adrian immediately brightened up, “So you were already targeting me back then.”

“Not yet, wasn’t I avoiding you at the time?” Cindy said, “I was just being cautious.”

“It’s because you had feelings for me that you were afraid and guarded,” Adrian said, revealing that he understood her intentions.

Cindy:

She really regretted telling him the truth!

“Anyway, back then you were so distant with me, and I had to find ways to make you come to me, to find some valid reasons to interact with you. Otherwise, you’d only drift further away from me.” Adrian praised his own ingenuity.

“It just so happened that you were going to participate in the competition, so I took the opportunity to have you prepare my lunch and exchange it with dishes from the restaurants under our flag,”

“But now it’s different,” Adrian said, “We’re together, how could I let you tire yourself out like this?”

“You preparing breakfast and dinner for me every day is already a lot of trouble, so I don’t want you to go back and forth for lunch as well,” Adrian explained, “You can stay at home and prepare well for the next competition.”

Since that was the case, Cindy agreed.

“By the way, if you want to go to those Quire restaurants to look for inspiration, feel free to do so. I’ll let people know to give you access to all the restaurants under Pingla Corp. They will put it on my account,” Adrian added.

Suddenly, Cindy felt like she had turned on a cheat code.

The judges of the major competition were all from Pingla.

Going to the restaurants under Pingla Corp. would allow her to taste the cuisine of several judges.

She could also learn about the different preferences and culinary characteristics each judge had.

This would certainly help her in the competition.

Moreover, the combined menu of all the restaurants under Pingla Corp. would be massive.

So many classic dishes and examples in front of her were like a competition question bank.

“Does this count as cheating?” Cindy couldn’t help but ask.

“How is this cheating?” Adrian laughed, “Although the judges are mostly from Pingla, except for Charles Dean, their focus is different, and each has different preferences for dishes and flavors.”
