Farrah was taking out the finished dessert from the refrigerator just as Adrian walked through the door. You’re back?” She quickly sprinkled some cocoa powder over the top.
“Mm.” He hung up his coat and was ready to head straight to the study room.
“Wait!” She hurried over with the freshly made dessert held in her hands and stopped him in his tracks. Mr. Locke, would you like to try this? It’s a freshly made mousse cake! I made it myself!”
Adrian looked at the cake before glancing at her. “You can have it.” He was uninterested.
He walked past her and pushed the door into the study room.

She hurried over and carefully placed the cake on his desk before handing him a fork. “Why don’t you give it a taste?”

Adrian’s gaze slightly faltered before he looked up and fixed his eyes on her.
She blinked curiously at him with her hands resting on the desk and patiently waited for his response.
“I want to find an entry point and create something that meets her sincerity. “So… I want to understand the story behind it.”
