Chapter 58 Foodie
Hera sighed deeply. She came to the realization that to navigate the unfamiliar battlefield ahead, she would need to use her identity and privilege as leverage. The CEO of UE had made a valid point that Hera had overlooked. Despite consciously trying to adjust her perspective, her old habits and ways of thinking still lingered, surfacing at unexpected moments. When she mentioned the need to readjust her perspective upon returning to her true status, she was acknowledging the necessity of changing her outlook on money and status.
’It’s not because it was wrong, but because it’s necessary,’ Hera sighed once more.
Cindy returned after seeing off the guest and reminded her, "Young Miss, your tutor will be arriving in another hour."
"Ah!" Hera leaped up, realizing she hadn’t finished the assignments. She dashed back to her study as quickly as possible.
Cindy chuckled, shaking her head, and made her way to the kitchen to fetch some snacks.
Hera revisited the previous discussion and meticulously organized her thoughts. Slowly, she began to address the assignment, drawing upon what she had learned. She prepared two distinct diagrams to illustrate the differences between each method discussed previously. Additionally, she prepared two sets of formulas and approaches relevant to the situation at hand. These efforts were aimed at emphasizing the key points she intended to convey in the report, ensuring clarity and straightforwardness for the reader.
Amidst her busy preparations, Cindy wheeled in a pushcart laden with a strawberry tart, macarons, and a refreshing lemon iced tea. Silently, she positioned them beside Hera’s table, allowing her to indulge at her convenience without interruption.
After ensuring the snacks were arranged, Cindy excused herself and waited downstairs to greet the tutor.
Amidst her busy work, Hera remembered to snack and sip her lemon iced tea whenever she felt parched. Unconsciously, she consumed all the treats and finished the entire pitcher of lemon iced tea while putting the final touches on her assignment.
"Young Miss, your tutor has arrived," Cindy announced from outside the study door.
"Just in time," Hera exclaimed with relief before inviting the tutor in. "Please, come in."
