Chapter 32 - Ring
Chapter 32 Ring
Cole was stunned.
Cara’s expression was unfriendly.
Her sudden sentence had a hint of finding fault.
Cole had just opened the door when Cara had retorted.
However, this made Cole even more confused. He simply chose to move aside. “Sorry, Miss Williams! Please come in.”
Cara walked straight in. When she passed by Cole, Cole could smell her fragrance.
This was the first time Cole had seen Cara since he had left the Williams Corporation that day.
This woman still looked stunning.
Cara walked to the table and turned to look at Cole, remaining expressionless.
The room was silent.
Cole closed the door and walked to Cara.
The wind blowing in from the window was a little cold. “Miss Williams…”
Cole attempted to make a conversation. “Don’t talk.”
But Cara shut him up.
Cole did stop talking.
Cara looked at the time and calmly said, “It’s already midnight. Are you tired?”
The question confused Cole. “I’m okay. I’m quite awake.”
“Then why were you tired at this time yesterday?”
Cara suddenly stared at Cole with a sharp gaze. Silence!
Cole felt cold.
Cara’s gaze was murderous.
Cole finally knew what the problem was.
He was about to explain.
However, Cara stopped him and sneered. “You’re not tired even if I ask you to wait for an hour. Yet, you couldn’t even talk to me for three sentences last night and said that you were tired?
“Cole, when you were my coach in the past, didn’t you tell me that you could chat with your little girlfriend until midnight?”
Cara’s words were even colder than the wind coming from the window.
The words even held a faint killing intent.
Cole’s heart turned cold.
Chuckling, he explained with a dry smile, “Miss Williams, there’s a reason for this. I thought that you might be busy and I couldn’t disturb you, so…” “Yes?”
Cara stared at him.
Cole did not dare to speak anymore.
Only then did he realize what he had done the previous day.
A moment of silence ensued.
“Not again.”
Cara then calmly asked, “Are you angry that you waited for an hour?”
After heaving a sigh of relief, Cole quickly shook his head. “No.”
He really was not angry right now. However, even if he were, he would not dare to say it.
“I was angry yesterday.”
Cara coldly glanced at Cole.
She thought that he would eventually detect something and send a message to make up for
it.
In the end, she realized that she was overthinking.
This left her fuming.
The consequences were serious.
Cole: “…”
“Take it!”
Cara picked up the small box on the table and handed it to Cole.
Cole subconsciously caught the box and said in a daze, “Miss Williams, did you call me over today to give me this?”. “No.”
Cara shook her head and sneered.
This stunned Cole.
Then…
“Go upstairs and bring down the steak I made. We’ll eat at the dining table outside.”
After Cara handed the small box to him, Cole walked out.
“Were you frying steak upstairs just now?”
Cole was stunned.
“Take it.”
Cara concisely spoke as if she did not plan to explain at all.
Cole stopped talking.
He pinched the small box but did not open it. After that, he walked to the second floor.
As he thought about the sound coming from upstairs from time to time, he realized Cara had been frying steak there. When this thought came to his mind, Cole found it unbelievable.
Cara cooked steak for me…
That sounded like a fantasy.
Besides, Cole was a little flattered.
After reaching the second floor, however, Cole realized he was wrong. The second floor was filled with a burned smell.
Smoke rose in the air.
Cole: “…”
Now, he knew why he had not realized that Cara was frying steak.
The ventilator was not turned on.
Cole silently pressed the button on the brand new ventilator.
Boom!
Cole looked at the two plates of dark steak. What if Cara asked him to eat both plates?
He actually did not object to supper being steak. However, if he ate these pieces of steak, he probably wouldn’t even be able to keep his stomach…
This was a big problem.
Cole thought about whether he should throw away the two plates of steak, but he was worried that it would anger Cara.
After guessing Cara’s intention for him to serve the dishes, Cole clenched his fist and hit his palm…
She must have asked me to come up and make two more sets.

After a while…
On the dining table outside the French window!
Cara swirled the red wine in her hand and looked at the starry night sky.
Just then…
A fragrance entered her nose.
She tilted her head.
Cole was walking over to her with two plates of steak. He placed the steak on the dining table.
Those two plates of steak were smeared with sauce.
This looked a little simple and not as luxurious as that from the Michelin restaurant.
But, it could at least be eaten.
A faint smile appeared on Cara’s lips.
“Miss Williams, your steaks were too far away. It took me a while to find them.”
Cole sat opposite Cara and started lying.
Cara stared at Cole. When the man got a little shy, she looked away.
She boldly said, “Just say that you made it again. There’s no need to lie. This is also my first time frying steak. Failing is normal, and pointing that out is not embarrassing.”
Silence!
Cole could not help but mutter in his heart… I have never seen anyone who can burn a steak even if it’s their first time.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Cara looked at Cole. “Why? Are you laughing at me in your heart?”
“I wouldn’t dare. I wouldn’t dare.”
Cole quickly waved his hand. “That’s good.” Cara picked up her knife and fork and smiled. “I originally planned to let you eat the remaining two plates.”
Cole: “…”
Fortunately, I made the right choice.
Cara picked up the red wine glass at the side and raised her head. “Drink it.”
A glass of red wine also lay in front of Cole.
Cole raised his glass.
The two of them clinked glasses.
Cara raised her head and drank her wine.
Her skin was extremely fair under the red wine.
Delicious!
Cole smiled and drank his wine as well.
The two of them then put down their glasses.
Cara quietly cut the steak.
“Have you seen the thing in the box?” At this moment, she calmly asked without looking up. The question surprised Cole. “Not yet.” Cara said, “Open it and take a look.” Cole took out the box from his pocket and opened it.
An ancient and dull ring!
However, the moment the box was opened, the ring emitted a faint red light. “This is?” Cole was stunned. What does this mean? “Put it on.”
Cara didn’t answer his question; she didn’t even look up.
Seeing that he could not ask anything, Cole could only take the ring off and put it on his finger.
Ring finger!
It fit him.
Cole’s finger slightly bent as he observed the ring flashing with red light from time to time.
Cara put down her knife and fork and looked at Cole.
Cole looked back at her. “Ring finger?” Cara smiled. “You’re quite aware.”
“What?”
Cole was stunned.
