Noe sliced some tomatoes and beef slices to add to the noodles she was going to make.
When she was cutting the beef, Theo stood next to her. After a moment, he said in a strange tone, "Slow down a little."
He was clearly a man who had never stepped into the kitchen.
Noe ignored him and chopped the beef at an even faster pace. When she was done, she told him, "Get out of the kitchen. Don't get in my way."
Perhaps Theo felt lonely, especially in the middle of the night. He didn't feel like waiting alone at the dining table.
Instead, he wanted to stay in the kitchen with Noe.
Keeping a straight face, he came up with an excuse. "No, I'm going to watch you cook. What if you really poison me? I don't want to die yet."
"I'm not that stupid. If I really poisoned you, I would not come out alive as well. I am very valuable, you know. I'm worth forty million dollars." Noe was actually mocking herself.
However, Theo did not seem to notice it.
