Nadia naturally refused Howard's rude request. Howard shrugged as if it didn't matter to him. "You don't even know how to grasp the opportunity to go out on a date with a handsome guy."However, Lana knew that Howard had his reasons for each action. So she tried to persuade Nadia too, "Nadia, if you have nothing else to do, it's good to just go for a walk. Life is more than work and study. Your life has just begun; don't waste your youth."Nadia couldn't argue further with them. Thus, she pretended to agree to go on the date.Anyway, she could decide whether to go or not. What else could Howard do, force her by holding a knife to her throat?"Fine!"Lana and Howard were both relieved as Nadia finally agreed.Howard looked dignified as he came out of Lana's house.Lana's heart sank. "Is it bad?"Howard was rarely serious. "It's not just bad, it's awful. I'm scared that she would have suicidal thoughts.""What?" Lana sadly said, "It's all my fault! I neglected her all this w
At the same time, at the competition venue, Kayla's face dropped as she saw fans cheering for Lana come through the station entrance.Her family had been hiring marketing teams to promote her since the beginning, but she still didn't have a lot of fans.On the other hand, Lana, not even having a Twitter account, won over so many people's hearts. Would Kayla be happy?Kayla walked in the front as Lana's fans saw her, their expressions each gloated at her misfortune. She lost all her temper at once. "Go away, you guys aren't participants. Don't be in our way."Being arrogantly yelled at for no reason, anyone would have been mad. Soon, Lana's fans began arguing with Kayla."Weird, the TV station doesn't belong to the Starks. Why are you so anxious?""What are you? A guard dog? Who are you to boss us around on who stands at the entrance of the station?"Kayla and her team didn't even get to go into the station before starting a fight with Lana's fans.It was Kayla's fault to star
The kidnappers came fast at her. But Lana wasn't a weakling, either. She wouldn't just stay there and do nothing about it.She pointed her toes to the ground and made a big circle. Dust and debris came into the air and covered the five kidnappers completely."Little bitch, how dare you try me? You'll see what I'll do to you!"As Mr. Tooth Decay cursed at her, Lana secretly crept to the other end of the Ironhide Mountain. She was about to climb.Thank goodness that this recycling station had soil grounds. Lana could then buy herself some short but precious time to escape.After the dust settled, one of the kidnappers found out where she was. "Boss, she's climbed up the mountain."Mr. Tooth Decay wiped his face with his sleeve, "Shameless bitch." With that, the five men charged toward Lana again.They wanted to go up the mountain the way Lana did and get her down. However, they were much taller and heavier than Lana. The iron pieces disassembled from the mountain as they stepped
World-renowned chef?Lana had no clue who this was.When it came to cooking, she only followed what she liked and what her intuition told her. She had no clue who was what in the chef world.Lana could feel the man's gaze on her. However, she ignored it since the competition was starting.Glancing at the other competitors, she noticed Kayla was also looking at her strangely. Lana shot her a friendly smile, but Kayla only rolled her eyes.So Lana waited for the host to list out the competition's rules."Things will be a little different today. The rules of the competition are set by Michelin-star chef Franklin Cage. You may choose to cook with any technique and ingredients. However, you must follow the chef's given theme."With that, Franklin raised a board with the words 'Surprising, Rare, Exquisite' written on it.This was the theme the chef had chosen for today's competition."He's a Michelin-star chef, alright. Even his theme sounds strange.""Could someone really make som
Unexpectedly, Leonard shot her a warm smile. "It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. I thought it was just beginner's luck when you defeated Kayla twice, but now I see just where your capability lies."You are truly a masterful chef, Lana. I apologize on behalf of Kayla for what she did to you before. I acknowledge my faults in not teaching her better and have reprimanded her appropriately. I hope you can forgive her."Well, this was unexpected. Leonard was apologizing publicly for Kayla's behavior.Only now did everyone know about Kayla's grudge against Lana after she defeated her. Now everyone knew how Kayla had sabotaged Lana and nearly got her disqualified."It really doesn't matter to me, Mr. Stark. I don't blame Kayla." Lana knew Kayla would only have done what she did because outside forces persuaded her to do so."Thank you, Lana." Kayla, meanwhile, resorted to looking down a
"You're back, Carol?""Oh, isn't this the girl that Mr. Liam has his eyes on?""She's really sexy and pretty. No wonder Mr. Liam is infatuated with her.""Sarah, have you heard? Mr. Liam has been searching everywhere for little details from Carol's childhood. He's going to propose to her soon."Sarah was overjoyed. But she acted composed and said, "Let him propose. She's waited for so many years. It's about time he gave Carol a reply."Carol hurried home, planning to ask Sarah about Lana's matter. However, when she arrived home, she discovered that Sarah had invited her friends to the house. A few of them were currently playing cards.She awkwardly greeted everyone, "Hello, welcome.""Carol, you have a great future ahead of you. Don't forget about us."Blushing, Carol lowered her head and replied, "Oh please, how could I forget you guys?"Seeing Sarah was still playing cards, Carol had to come up with an excuse to speak with her alone.The two of them entered Carol's room. "M
Lana was clearly surprised. "Liam, are you worried about me?"From her words, it sounded as if he was someone heartless.Just as Liam was about to tell her to not think of him too badly, Lana added, "Can you not? I'm so scared! I almost thought you have feelings for me!"Liam recalled the result of Howard's diagnosis, saying that he had feelings for Lana.How could this be?"Me, having feeling for you?" Liam retorted, "You're not even qualified."Lana immediately sighed in relief, "Good, that was too scary."Liam was speechless.Anyone else would've been desperate for him to like them, but Lana on the other hand was afraid of him having feelings for her?This feeling was too frustrating!When Lana was about to enter the elevator again, Liam asked once again."Is this how you treat someone who saved your life?"Lana was speechless.What on earth was going on with Liam today? He was like a bubble gum that was impossible to get rid of."Fine!" Lana gave in. "O' great savior,
