All these were witnessed by Tina, who gritted her teeth silently, so furious that she wanted to throw away the lunchbox in her hands. Despite that, she knew that if she really did it, these people would start to vilify her again. With that thought in mind, she shut her eyes and took in a deep breath, reluctantly forcing down the rage burning within her.

After that, everyone started eating, and Toby, too, opened the lunchbox. Immediately, the delicious aroma drifted out and he took a bite. It’s delicious, he thought. But the noodles last night tasted better.

 

He didn’t understand why he would feel this way when it was obvious that a chef’s cooking would be better than Sonia’s.

Even so, when he was tasting the food, it tasted a little lacking and something seemed to be missing, but he couldn’t exactly tell what it was.

“Why aren’t you eating, Tina?” he couldn’t help but ask when he lifted his eyes and saw that Tina wasn’t eating next to him. Not only that, she didn’t even open the lunchbox.

Tina’s eyes flashed, and she smiled. “I’m still not hungry and don’t feel like eating now.”

 

“I don’t think you’re not hungry, but rather, you don’t dare to eat it,” Charles said, his voice laced with sarcasm.

Tina’s expression turned solemn. “Mr. Lane, what are you trying to say?”

 

Charles puckered his lips and said, “I’m just saying that, you’re probably too ashamed to eat this meal because it was heated by Sonia and you’ve tried to harm her so many times. Moreover, you’re also afraid that she poisoned the food, aren’t you?”

As though he had read her mind, Tina’s eyes shuddered, and she quickly looked downward. Forcing out a chuckle, she said, “You must be joking, Mr. Lane. That’s not true. I’m not eating because I’m really not hungry. I’m going over there to get some fresh air.”
