"I ca to freeload on free food." Kate responded honestly.
The previous day, when she was here, she had tasted the food that was prepared by Adrian.
That food was amazing, to the extent that she felt all the other foods that she had eaten since then were bland.
This made her to crave for the food, which was why she could not resist coming over.
But of course, that was not the main reason why she was here.
Hearing Kate’s response, Michael could only shake his head at that.
At this mont, Adrian, who had already returned, went into the kitchen to prepare food.
"Where did you hire Adrian from? Is he so kind of famous chef from maybe the central province?" Kate asked after a mont of silence.
The quality of the food that was prepared, even though most of the ingredients were quite ordinary, it was top notch.
This level was way above the chefs at the five-star hotels that she had been to. Being a mber of the Morgan family, despite her not liking the social events, sotis, she had no other choice but to attend.
Previously, she had always thought that the food from there was always good. But now, it was not even comparable to the one that was casually prepared by Adrian at ho.
At the mont, she could not help but be curious about Adrian. She had not seen him before, during the ti that they were still at Drenn city.
Could it be that he was sent by Michael’s uncle? After all, other than this, she did not think of any other possibility.
"What is Adrian’s full na?" Michael asked.
"Adrian Santos, why?" Kate responded before she asked with a confused expression on her face.
But in the next mont, she realized sothing. Adrian had the sa surna as Michael, Santos.
"The two of you are relatives?" Kate asked with a surprised and puzzled expression on her face.
From her observation, even though Adrian was always casual around Michael, he usually seed to be subservient.
But, he did not look like an ordinary person. Even though she only questioned about his cooking skills, just by being around him, he did not look like an ordinary person at all.
The deanor that he carried himself with was almost the sa as her grandfather. And, this was sothing that only was that had held high positions usually possessed.
"Yeah. It is just that, the relationship is kind of winding, so, we are not very directly related." Michael responded.
Kate nodded at that, before the two of them began chatting once again.
Then, Michael looked at Kate and asked, "Tomorrow will be on a weekend. Will you be on duty, or are you free so that we can go to the shooting range?"
In order to repay Kate for the assistance that she had given him back in Drenn city, Michael had decided to give her pointers on her marksmanship.
So, he thought, the following day, being a Saturday, was quite a good day for that.
Kate on the other hand shook her head as she said, "I will not be on duty tomorrow. But even then, there is a family eting that I need to attend."
As she ntioned the family eting, her expression beca slightly gloomy. After all, she could already tell, this family eting was related to her.
From what Raymond had told her the previous day, it was about the engagent.
On this day, after coming from her night shift, she directly went to find her mother. But unfortunately, her mother was busy with work, and the two of them had not gotten a chance of talking at all.
"Okay. Then, you can tell when you will be free, so that I can make plans in advance." Michael said as he responded.
"I will. Most probably, on Sunday. I was given two days off, and in case of anything, I can just request for a few more days. Though, I will have to make up for those days later on." Kate responded.
The two of them did not talk about this once again, as they just casually chatted, while Adrian served the food.
"This is definitely the most delicious food that I have ever eaten!" Kate could not help but exclaim as she finished eating.
If not for the fact that she was full, she would not have stopped eating. The food was very delicious that she could not resist eating as much as she could.
Additionally, the way that it was prepared, it was in such a way that even if soone ate it continuously for an extended duration, it would not cause any health issues.
After all, the al included different types of dishes, all well prepared, ranging from at, to vegetables.
"You can co by anyti, in case you would like to eat again. Nobody will stop you from doing that." Michael responded with a slight chuckle.
"By the way, my grandpa wants to et you. He told to ask you if you are free, so that you can arrange a eting between you two." Kate suddenly said.
Michael looked at her with a puzzled expression, before he asked, "What could be the reason why he wants to et ? I don’t think that I have ever t with him before, and neither have we interacted in any way."
"I myself am not really sure, but it’s most probably related to what happened back in Drenn city. My grandpa has many thods of acquiring information, and most probably, he already knows about the incident that night." Kate responded honestly.
’That night? The way that you are framing those words, you can easily make a clueless person overthink!’ Michael could not help but grumble internally.
Still, he asked, "Anyway, I don’t think that there is any reason for a eting. You are the one who helped out, so, if anything, I should be the one that should be thanking you instead."
"Well, everyone in the family usually thinks that I am kind of reckless. So, my grandpa wants to thank you because he feels that if not for you, I might have been in danger." Kate responded as she pouted.
This action made her look quite cute, a contrast to her usually fierce appearance when she was dealing with gangsters.
As he shifted his attention sowhere else, Michael rembered the fact that before he arrived, he had found Kate having an argunt with the gangsters.
From the way that things were, it seed more likely that there would eventually be a clash between Kate and the gangsters.
The mbers of the Shadow assembly gang would not easily let go of an opportunity of making money. As for Kate, with her pride, how could she back down?
If the two sides clashed with each other, nobody could tell what the outco would have been. But most probably, Kate would have suffered.
After all, the shadow assembly gang had guns. If they decided to go all out to deal with Kate without considering her background, she would be in trouble.
"I don’t think that is necessary. It was just a coincidence." Eventually, Michael shook his head as he responded.
Michael did not see any good reason why he should et up with the old man.
First of all, they had never t before, and did not know each other at all.
On the second note, Michael did not want to waste ti with unnecessary conversations. He felt, it would be better to use that ti to read, to push for the acquisition of another skill.
"I hope that you would go. This is the first ti that my grandfather has ever asked for sothing, and he asked to invite you.
If you feel that his invitation is not sincere enough, the reason is actually the fact that the two of you are unfamiliar. That was why he decided to send to co and invite you for a eting.
You will be the one that will decide on the location of the eting, and the ti." Kate asked with a pleading expression appearing on her face.
Michael could not help but feel that Kate was acting out of character. This was definitely not the way that he was used to seeing her.
Even though during the second and the third eting between them, she had not been as fierce as she was during the first encounter, but she was not like this either.
At the mont, she was acting like an adorable little girl, looking all cute, making Michael stare for a second or two.
Seeing that Michael was still reluctant to agree, Kate gritted her teeth and said, "How about this? Can we change, instead of you giving pointers on my marksmanship, why don’t you go with to et with my grandpa instead?
This way, it can be considered as you thanking for the help, no matter how little it was."
Michael was left slightly speechless by how desperate Kate seed at inviting him.
"Why is it that I must go? Don’t tell , are you planning sothing fishy?" Michael asked as he looked at Kate with a suspicious gaze.
