Chapter 330 Mr. Murray, Penelope was so romantic!
Nani?
Zackary's brows were furrowed so tightly they were almost knotted. He crushed the goblet in his hand, purely out of frustration from seeing Penelope and Everett flaunting their love. Who cared if Lola came over and treated his wounds like that?!
Glared at fiercely by Zackary, Richard suddenly shivered, his round body becoming even more upright.
Did Mr. Zackary think that Lola's actions were too slow?
True, Mr. Zackary had nearly bled himself dry in his pursuit of the same affection that Penelope and Mr. Murray shared. Now, having waited so long without receiving any comfort from Lola, it would be strange if he wasn't angry!
Thinking this, Richard hurriedly urged Lola again, "Ms. Hilliard, please go help Mr. Zackary quickly! He has lost a lot of blood!"
Naturally, Lola knew why Zackary had crushed the goblet in his hand. At that moment, she wished she could rush up and grind Penelope to dust.
But in front of so many people, she couldn't lose her composure like that. She took small, quick steps to Zackary, speaking with a heartache, "Zackary, how are you? Does it hurt?"
Lola quickly took the first aid kit handed over by the show's doctor, "I'll help you treat the wound."
"No need!"
Zackary withdrew his hand, didn't even glance at Lola, turned around, and coldly sat down on a nearby sofa.
The director and all the staff were completely stunned. What on earth was this magical operation by Mr. Zackary?!
He crushed the goblet, wasn't it to gain Lola's pity?! Now that she was pitying him, why did he have to reject her so coldly and mercilessly?!
The thoughts of the big shot were so hard to guess, no matter how much guessing, it was never right.
Seeing Zackary's gaze, as sharp as a poisoned knife, fall on Penelope and Everett's faces, an uncontrollable thought emerged in the minds of the staff on site.
Could it be that what Mr. Zackary wanted was Penelope's pity?!
No, look more closely, the place where Mr. Zackary's gaze was fixed should have been Mr. Murray's lips.
The staff on site were instantly scared stiff. Mr. Zackary actually wanted Mr. Murray's pity?!
No wonder, earlier today when Penelope was taking a bath, he rushed into the next room in a hurry. He must have been afraid that Mr. Murray would bathe with her. Seeing that Mr. Murray was not there, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and left.
Turns out, Mr. Zackary's true love was Mr. Murray! Lola was indeed just a decoy!
Recalling the morning meal, Mr. Murray was feeding Penelope a beef patty, when Mr. Zackary arrogantly snatched it away. Everyone was even more convinced of this speculation.
Indeed, the person that the boss loved, was still the boss.
Noticing that Mr. Murray only had eyes for Penelope, the staff instantly felt a bit sorry for Mr. Zackary.
What's the use of wealth and beauty! The boss who loves but cannot obtain, is still a pitiful man!
While Penelope was cooking, despite a minor hiccup, it did not affect the deliciousness of the dishes she made at all.
Soon, the piping hot meals were already out of the oven.
Since their team was the champion, they received a lot of ingredients. Penelope was able to show off her skills and made six dishes and a soup.
She cooked, Everett assisted, the kitchen was filled with a strong scent of everyday life. It seemed, at that moment, he was not the high and mighty billionaire CEO, but simply a good husband deeply loved by his little wife.
The two of them didn't converse much, but every interaction was filled with endless sweetness.
Such a heartwarming scene, of course, the production team wouldn't miss it. The camera was frantically shooting him and Penelope, and the live broadcast room was almost overflowing with pink bubbles on the screen.
In fact, many of Everett's fans thought that Penelope was not good enough for him.
At first, many of Everett's fans in the live broadcast room were furiously cursing Penelope. However, they were later won over by Penelope's cooking skills. After all, not every woman could possess her culinary talent.
Even if I could have her cooking skills, it would not be possible to have her beauty.
Others were attractive, skilled in cooking, loving, and adorable. Everett's fans stopped being sour. Now, the most common comment in the live broadcast room was asking Penelope to favor Mr. Murray.
In the end, Penelope favored Mr. Murray, and they both topped the trending list.
Unaware of the online buzz, Penelope, who was focused on recording her program, just felt extremely happy.
She could enjoy a lavish meal beautifully, while Lola and Pennie, these two annoying green teas, could only drool on the side. It would be strange if she wasn't happy!
The only slight concern was that Zackary's stomach might not be able to handle it.
But in an instant, she stopped worrying. A man who completely didn't trust her, let him do whatever he wanted, it was none of her business!
So, the following scene was of Penelope, Everett, and Lyman eating dinner lovingly and warmly, while Zackary and Kemp sat on the sofa with gloomy faces, and Pennie and Lola sat next to their men with a deep sense of bitterness and resentment.
The director originally wanted the cameraman to give Zackary and his team a close-up shot. After all, it was quite interesting to see the domineering CEO unable to eat and pitifully starving.
It could be seen that Zackary's gaze seemed to be fixed on the chopsticks that Everett was continuously using to serve Penelope food, his eyes swirling with a deep crimson. Nevertheless, the director decided to abandon this idea.
Zackary's true love was Mr. Murray, such a secret that he knew it was okay, but if it was seen by the majority of netizens, that would be unbearable!
Zackary's authenticity was seen through. All these years, the love he and Lola showed off in front of the media was in vain. He must be holding a grudge, so tormented that he couldn't even cry!
The director was very sad.
Fortunately, the next segment where the male guest surprised the female guest was quite relaxed and enjoyable.
After Penelope and the others had finished dinner, the director livened up the atmosphere with his laughter, shaking like a blooming flower.
"The next segment we were going to conduct was the male guests giving surprises to the female guests." The director first turned his gaze to Zackary, who was making a face, "Mr. Zackary, what surprise have you prepared for Ms. Hilliard?!"
"Was everyone especially looking forward to the surprise Mr. Zackary prepared for Ms. Hilliard?! I was so excited too! Next, the moment to witness the surprise, arrived!"
Lola was also looking forward to the surprise Zackary had prepared for her. Even if it was for show, she was so happy that he could put thought into preparing something for her.
"Zackary...."
"No money!"
The director was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked the staff to cut off the live broadcast after he came to his senses.
Zackary's group didn't sell any apples. He said it was because they didn't have money, which was fine. But this is supposed to be a sweet love show. Wasn't his behavior a bit disrespectful to the female guests?
The smile on Lola's face froze instantly. Sometimes, the so-called surprise really isn't about money. As long as he is willing, even a blade of grass can be a surprise.
He just, didn't want to bother thinking about her, that's all.
Seeing that Zackary's group was incapable of creating romance, the director slowly turned his gaze to Kemp's face.
Kemp raised an eyebrow, "I have money?"
Alright, he didn't sell the apples either.
The director could only helplessly let his gaze fall on Everett's face.
"Penelope, let's go out!" Everett commanded, grabbing Penelope's small hand and rushing her downstairs. Clearly, he had prepared a romantic surprise for her.
