“Although he has a good reputation and has never been involved in any scandals, people say he’s a very clean-living person. But rumors are rumors, who knows what he’s really like.” Peggy Lewis reminded, “Anyway, be careful and don’t let yourself be taken advantage of.”
Listening to her worried words, Cindy Clarke’s heart felt warm: “I know.”
Cindy Clarke felt fortunate for three things in her life now.
Having such a lovely child like Morgan Clarke.
Her hobby becoming her work.
And having a best friend like Peggy Lewis.
“By the way, I didn’t get a chance to ask you earlier. Are you not afraid of being exposed when you entered the Cooking Competition?” Peggy Lewis had never worried about Cindy failing to advance.
If Cindy could not advance, the level of competitors in the Cooking Competition would be too high.
“Well, I met Adrian Zhekova today, didn’t I? He... he promised me that I could wear a mask and not use my real name in the competition.” Cindy said, steeling herself.
Peggy Lewis: “...”
She would swear now that Adrian Zhekova definitely has something up his

“Oh, alright.” Cindy hadn’t really thought of that.
So she hurriedly checked her call history.
According to yesterday’s call time, she found a number and copied it to Adrian
Zhekova: “Is this one?”
“Yes.” Adrian Zhekova replied.
Cindy quickly saved the number.
Just as she was about to write down the contact’s name, she heard Adrian
Zhekova ask: “How did you save my name in your contacts?”
Because Adrian Zhekova had been voice chatting with her, Cindy felt embarrassed to type.
Unless the environment didn’t allow for it, she would try to choose the same communication method as the other party to show respect.
Cindy put down the input for now and told Adrian Zhekova: “Just... Mr. Zhekova?”
Adrian Zhekova frowned, his voice deep: “Are we that distant?” Through the phone, Cindy could hear his dissatisfaction.
Cindy was puzzled for a moment. Were they that close?
“I’ve been to your house for dinner, cooked by you personally..” Adrian Zhekova said, “Would you let just anyone come to your house for a meal you’ve prepared?”
