Chapter 20 The Kitchen Killer
Benjamin put his hands on Patricia’s hands and cracked a sweet smile, “Mommy, I’m very delighted to This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
take care of you. What’s more, you had taken care of me for so long and now it’s my turn to look after
you, since I’ve grown up.”
Patricia tried to persuade Benjamin, but she was pulled to the bathroom by him the next second.
He put the toothpaste and the water cup into Patricia’s hand, “Mommy, just wash up. Don’t you say
you’re going to look for a job today?”
Patricia nodded, “That’s right. I have to find a job today.”
Benjamin returned to the table and packed up the three empty plates on the table and took them to the
kitchen.
That was the first time Karina ate egg noodles, so she had three portions of egg noodles before she left
burping. What surprised Benjamin was not that Karina was thick-skinned, but that she had a great
appetite!
After a brief wash and grooming, Patricia walked back to Benjamin, “Benjamin, what are you thinking
about?”
Benjamin shook his head and put the hot milk in Patricia’s hands, “Mommy, have a cup of hot milk
first!”
Patricia sat at the dining table eating egg noodles with satisfaction on her face.
“Benjamin, the egg noodles you cooks are so delicious! I must learn how to cook it! I’ll start tomorrow!”
Benjamin paused for a while, and then smiled at Patricia sweetly.
“If mommy likes it, I’ll cook it for you every day! You don’t have to learn how to cook. If you can cook it,
then the egg noodles I cook are not unique.”
Looking at Benjamin’s serious expression, Patricia couldn’t refuse him, “Well, then I’ll keep your egg
noodles unique!”
Benjamin lowered his eyelids. Why he didn’t want his mommy to cook meals was actually because she
almost blew up the kitchen the first time she cooked!
The pot even blew up the second time she cooked! The kitchen finally survived the third time, but
Patricia poured the cooking wine into the dish as soy sauce, and then kept telling Benjamin that the soy
sauce had mutated and the fried dishes looked not so good...
So Benjamin concluded that his mommy was a kitchen killer!
Patricia carried her bag and walked to the door holding the draft in her arms carefully, “Benjamin, I’ll go
now. Just stay at home and take good care of yourself! You can call for takeout if you are hungry. I’ll be
back early.”
Benjamin held out his arms, standing at the door. And his face was filled with his dependence on his
mother. “Mommy, give me a hug.”
Patricia bent down and held Benjamin in her arms tightly. Then she left a kiss on his forehead gently.
“Honey, are you afraid of being alone at home?”
Benjamin shook his head, “It’s okay, mommy. I’ve grown up and I’m not afraid of it. But mommy, you
should be careful when you’re out and when you’re crossing the road.”
Patricia rubbed Benjamin’s head softly and there was a happy smile on her face, “Well, I got it.”
Bang! The door was closed. Seeing Patricia left, the innocence on Benjamin’s face disappeared
immediately.
He opened the laptop and typed a series of codes on a blank page. It seemed that he was creating a
new software.
On the other side, Patricia clenched her hands to encourage herself after she went out.
“Patricia, you can find a job! You have to raise such a cute and smart boy! You can do it definitely.
Come on!”
Although Patricia wore casual clothes and kept a low profile, she attracted many attentions from
passers-by.
Looking at the watch on her wrist, she thought she should now rush to the job market to check out if
there was a job vacancy for a designer!
Seeing the coming bus, Patricia ran towards the bus with the draft in her arms.
Not far from her, a handsome man in a suit stepped out of a sports car and glanced at the watch on his
wrist, glowing with comfort.
Patricia, who was holding the draft and staring at the bus, didn’t see the man, so she bumped into the
man who was looking down at his watch.
The two collided and the drafts danced in the air like butterflies with wings. Then the drafts fell to the
ground and scattered in a mess.
“Please stop!” Seeing the leaving bus, Patricia was chagrined.
She sighed then began to pick up the drafts on the ground one by one.
The man, who was knocked down by Patricia, picked up the draft for Patricia carefully without slightest
impatience or anger.
When the man saw the drafts in his hand, there was a glimmer of surprise in his eyes.
The man handed the manuscripts to Patricia and there was a great amiable atmosphere around him,
“Young lady, are you okay?”
Patricia curled her lips, and then took over the drafts unhappily, “I’m not okay! I didn’t catch the bus!
When I get to the job market in the next bus, it must be crowded with people. I’ll have no chance...”
The man was stupefied. Seeing Patricia, who was muttering to him, he handed her a business card,
“Miss, are you looking for a job? Here is my business card.”
Looked at the card, Patricia opened her eyes round and wide, “Are you the president of the largest
fashion design company in Midfort, Matthew Crawford?”
Matthew nodded slightly and smiled at her, “Yeah, I’m Matthew Crawford. How should I address you,
Miss?”
Patricia took out her hand, “Hello, Mr Matthew. I’m Patricia Coleman.”
It seemed that Matthew didn’t mind Patricia’s dirty hand. Her hands got some dust when she fell to the
ground just now.
Matthew took Patricia’s hand, “Miss Patricia, I just saw you drafts. I think your drafts are novel and
unique, and the painting skill is much better than that of many domestic masters! Our company needs
such new drafts and designers! Would you like to work for the Crawford Group?”
Patricia was surprised and there was delight on her face, “Really?! But Mr Matthew, I don’t get relevant
certificates due to some accidents...”
Matthew cracked a gentle smile, “I never care about such a thing. What I want is competent designers
rather than those with great certificates!”
Hearing Matthew’s words, Patricia bowed to him and looked at him with respect, “Mr Matthew, thank
you for giving me the opportunity! I won’t let you down!”
Matthew squinted with a glimmer of light in his eyes and nodded, “Although you have good
qualifications, you have to start at the bottom. Can you accept it?”
