Hutton shot him a glance and asked, âKarl, are you planning to assist with the cooking?â
Karl briefly glanced at Maggie and chuckled.
âOf course, Iâm here to help Rosalynn and Maggie with the cooking.
â
Hutton scoffed, âYouâve never cooked before.
Do you even know how to wash vegetables?â lutton, he can always learn!â
âThatâs right.

A few friends chimed in.
Karl shot a look at Maggie, who appeared somewhat uneasy, and rebuked them, âQuiet down.
Donât make Maggie uncomfortable.

Karl led them into the kitchen.
Inside, a chef was prepping vegetables.
She welcomed them with a warm smile as they entered.
Noticing that they were alone in the kitchen, Maggie pulled Karl aside.
âKarl, I want you to know that Iâm not seeking a relationship in the near future.
Iâm preparing for my postgraduate entrance exams.
â
Karl responded with a gentle smile, âThereâs no need to feel anxious.
And donât let their comments get to you.
Rest assured, I have no intentions of pressuring you into a relationship.
We can start off as friends.
Wouldnât you Like that?â
His smile held a touch of sincerity.
Maggie felt slightly relieved hearing this.
âWhy not? Letâs consider ourselves friends from here on out.
â
âExactly.
So youâre preparing for your postgrad entrance exams, right?
Feel free to seek my help if you have any questions.
â Karl thumped his chest, laughing.
Maggie Looked puzzled.
âBut Iâm majoring in architectural design, not technology.
â
Karl responded, âDonât underestimate me.
Even though my major was technology, I opted for architectural design as an elective course and even passed the postgraduate entrance exams.
â
Maggieâs eyes widened in surprise.
