Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 805:

“Sure.”

As soon as she sat down, Rachel turned to Alban. “Could you get me a plastic spoon?”

Allan frowned. “Why a plastic one?”

Rachel let out a sheepish laugh. “I accidentally twisted my wrist while cooking. Now, holding this heavy spoon stings a little.”

Allan’s concern deepened. “Let me see.”

Rachel held up her hand, showing a fresh plaster wrapped around her wrist. “A few hours of rest will be okay.”

She had just grabbed the plaster from the nurse’s station. As for her injury—well, that was a last-minute addition.

“I’ll check it after we eat.”

Rachel grinned. “Oh, it’s nothing! I already took care of it. But if you really feel guilty, why don’t you use a plastic spoon too? I prefer the uniform cutlery. It’s more pleasing to the eye.”

Allan didn’t hesitate. “Alright.”

Alban quickly fetched a few plastic spoons.

Throughout the meal, conversation was sparse, but Allan’s expression remained calm and warm. He ate at a steady pace, unhurried yet content.

Just as they were finishing up, Natalia suddenly burst into the room.

“Rachel! Let me tell you—” Natalia burst into the room, breathless.

But the moment she spotted Allan, her excitement faltered. She straightened and greeted him with an awkward smile. “Oh! Hello, Mr. Vance.”

Allan raised an eyebrow. “You know me?”

“I’ve heard Rachel talk about you.”

His lips curved slightly, clearly pleased. “Go ahead, you two chat. Don’t mind me.”

Rachel gave Natalia a look. “Just say whatever it is.”

Noticing how at ease Rachel and Allan were around each other, Natalia perked up again. “Rachel, I seriously owe you for that meal earlier. You have no idea—I finally got my hands on that necklace I’ve been dying to have!”

Rachel blinked. “Wait… my cooking was worth that much?”

“Of course! Someone got tempted and had to pay up big time for just a taste. Rachel, I’m telling you, I really struck gold today—all thanks to you.”

Rachel instantly caught on.

“If I’d known it was such a good deal, I would’ve started a bidding war,” Rachel joked.

Natalia leaned in with a sly grin. “Rachel, if you did that, someone would probably empty their entire bank account. Want to test it out?”
