?Chapter 597:


    She eyed Marvin with a hint of skepticism, sampling the instant noodles while holding onto her reservations, and was amazed at how tasty they were. It could have been the best instant noodles she had ever had.


    “Does it taste okay?” Marvin inquired.


    Baylee nodded and replied, “How did you learn to cook like this?” She believed someone like Marvin, a powerful heir, would be the type who never needed to cook for themselves. Even if Marvin hadn’t been as fortunate during his early years, he still wouldn’t have had the opportunity to prepare his own meals. In grand households, the kitchens were closely supervised, and not just anyone could enter.


    Marvin, with a slight raise of his eyebrows, said, “I guess I’m just talented.”


    He kept to himself that he had learned to cook specifically for her.


    As Baylee continued to enjoy the noodles, a thought struck her. “I should have asked you to cook when you were staying at my ce!” The idea of Marvin, a distinguished young master, cooking was quite amusing to her.


    Marvin, with his elbow resting on the back of his chair and a suggestive look, said, “It’s still possible now.”


    Baylee, with a strand of noodle hanging from her mouth, looked up in confusion. It took her a moment to catch on to what he was implying, and she quickly went back to her noodles, pretending not to have caught on to his suggestion.


    The cozy atmosphere seemed to fade a bit.


    Marvin casually twirled his fingertips, watching Baylee as if she was a challenge he was content to wait out. He wasn’t in any hurry. He knew time was on his side.


    Demi was quickly cast out of the industry. In just one day, from her first appearance on a talent show to hertest public events, every trace of her presence was erased.


    Netizens debated who had lost more—Demi or the TV drama Peerless Grace? Halfway through shooting, the drama had to rece its scandal-hit male co-star. And now, right before its release, the female co-star faced a scandal and needed a recement too!


    Demi’s role as the female co-star was meant to boost her profile. To cut costs, the crew chose an actress with talent but no fame to redo Demi’s scenes. For group shots they couldn’t reshoot, they used AI to swap faces.

    Ellie, a stylist, was called back to work on the new female co-star’s wardrobe. The crew was incredibly grateful for Ellie’s help during the chaos, especially since Ellie had be much more recognized in just a few months.


    Ellie exchanged friendly words with the crew, feeling a bit guilty. Whether it was Herman or Demi, she couldn’t help but feel connected to their struggles. With her schedule for Workce Diary looming, Ellie had to rush through her work on Peerless Grace, postponing her lectures at Critport University until next month.


    After a hectic few days, Ellie finallypleted all her tasks. As she was leaving the Peerless Grace set, reporters crowded around her.


    “‘Ellie, what’s your rtionship with Edwin?”


    “Ellie, are you happy with The Joy of Heart? Did you start the partnership with Gerardo?”


    “Gerardo spoke very highly of the song. As itsposer, are you thinking of joining the music business?”
