"Don't worry, I have my ways," Mark Reed assured her with an enigmatic smile, leaning in to whisper his plan in Claudia Ross's ear.

Claudia's eyes widened after hearing it: "That could work?"

"Of course, it can, why not," said Mark, waving the sealed bag in his hand: "Wait for my good news."

"Okay."

Even though Mark was brimming with confidence, Claudia still felt anxious.

Seeing her worried expression, Mark chuckled and flicked her forehead playfully: "Just relax, there's no problem I can't solve."

"I don't want to deceive your mom and dad."

Claudia said, looking down with a heavy heart.

"It's not you who's deceiving them, it's me, and it's none of your business. They're used to being tricked by me anyway, no worries. Now go cook, I'm starving," he said with a teasing grin, steering her into the kitchen and helping her put on an apron.

Claudia, feeling resigned, glanced at him and sighed, then opened the refrigerator to fetch ingredients and start cooking.
