It seemed like everything was progressing smoothly.

Chapter 196

After reviewing the talent show situation, Sheena called Heidi.

“I’ve arranged for them to clean the floors. Erin was quite arrogant, even cursing at you. So, I locked them back in the basement. Is that okay?” Heidi asked.

“No problem. Since they’re servants, treat them according to the standards. If they don’t listen, punish them as needed. But remember to keep an eye on those male servants at the Freeman mansion. They’re not allowed to have ill intentions!” Sheena instructed firmly.

“Yes, Ms. Sheena! You can rest assured that I’ll handle it well…”

While Heidi continued assuring her, Sheena suddenly smelled a burning odor.

It seemed to be coming from downstairs!

Sheena hurriedly hung up and rushed downstairs, finding the kitchen filled with smoke. Elijah was trying to fan away the smoke, coughing from the irritation.

Sheena was speechless and exclaimed, “I asked you to prepare dinner, not burn the house down!”

Covering her nose and mouth, Sheena entered the kitchen, turned off the stove, and switched on the ventilation fans.

After a while, the choking smell finally dissipated. Sheena pointed to the pot, now burnt to a charcoal– like black, and asked, “What were you making?”

Elijah replied, “Braised beef.”

Sheena glanced at it again. It was simply an eyesore!

“What the hell happened? It’s burnt beyond recognition! No recipe can save your cooking skills. How bad are you at this?”

Elijah feigned innocence. “I just followed the recipe. It said to simmer on low heat for an hour and a half. I thought it was too slow and turned up the heat to speed things up, but…”

“But you burnt it instead?”

Elijah remained silent.

Sheena was exasperated, sighed, and continued, “Are you planning to servethis for dinner?

“I also prepared a side dish.”

“Where is it?”

Elijah led her to the dining table. Although the side dish looked plain, the color seemed normal, so it was probably edible.

Sheena gave in and decided to make do with this meal.

Seeing her willingness to try, Elijah pulled out a chair and fetched a plate and utensils from the kitchen.

Sheena eyed his movements suspiciously.

Just an hour ago, he felt humiliated and awkward about doing chores. Yet, he seemed to have adapted to it so quickly. Moreover, he even stood quietly on the side after doing all that, acting unusually obedient.

Sheena found his attentiveness strange. As she took a piece of the vegetable, she caught a subtle glint in Elijah’s eyes.

Something was off,

She frowned and brought the green vegetable to her mouth, preparing to eat.

Elijah raised an eyebrow as if looking forward to her reaction, but he resumed his icy expression when she glanced in his direction.

Putting down the fork, Sheena smirked and said, “You go first.”

Elijah lowered his head. “I dare not.”

Though his head was bowed, his attitude was not submissive at all. Clearly, he was putting on an act!

Sheena grinned, her gaze sharp as she spoke with authority, “I’m the master of this mansion, and you’re the servant, so this is an order. Chere now and sit down!”
