It wasn't him

Chapter 145

"Since when?" Natasha asked, gripping the edge of the table like it was the only thing keeping her from launching a plate at his head. "Since when were you allergic to soy sauce?"

Drogen finally turned his cold, unreadable gaze to her, his lips twitching into a slow, mocking smirk. "That was fast."

She frowned. "What was fast?"

"We're not even halfway through and you're already pissed off?" He leaned back, arms crossed, clearly enjoying himself.

Natasha sucked in a deep breath, forcing a smile so tight it could shatter glass. "I'm not angry." She yanked the apron off her neck with a little too much force. "And I deeply apologize if my culinary masterpiece doesn't cater to your delicate, high-maintenance taste buds. But just so we're clear, I am not stepping foot in that kitchen again. And since you're petty enough to refuse my hard work, you're just going to have to starve."
