Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 492: New Year’s Eve Dinner

They just need to buy off their team members before Starstruck officially goes online.

If they directly destroy it from within, then Starstruck won’t be able to launch.

Selena Kensington glanced at her phone for a while and then put it away.

After that, she received a message from Hugh Kensington.

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: Sis, did you see the trending topics?

Selena raised an eyebrow slightly and replied to Hugh: I saw it, pretty quick action.

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: Hehe.

After chatting briefly with Hugh, Selena got up, washed, and went downstairs.

Once downstairs, Selena saw the main house filled with a festive atmosphere.

All the blessings, couplets, and lanterns they had bought earlier were hung up by the servants of the main house.

Plus, since today was New Year’s Eve, the servants had cleaned the house inside and out.

It looked very clean and bright.

After coming downstairs, Selena spotted Sterling’s grandfather’s back in the living room.

She walked over, "Grandpa, where’s Sterling?"

She looked around but didn’t see Sterling Norwood.

The old man, leaning on his cane and watching the news on TV, turned his head slightly, "Sterling just went out."

"Oh..."

Upon hearing this, Selena didn’t ask further.

Instead, she sat next to the old man and accompanied him in watching TV.

After a while, the old man asked her, "What do you want for New Year’s Eve dinner?"

Selena thought for a moment and replied, "Dumplings."

After speaking, her eyes lit up, "Grandpa, how about we make New Year’s Eve dinner ourselves this year?"

Originally, the main house’s chefs would leave to rest after preparing New Year’s Eve dinner, but this year Selena wanted the family to prepare it together.

Or rather, she wanted Sterling to cook once more.

After Sterling’s previous cooking experience, Selena really missed his delicious dishes.

The old man hadn’t expected Selena’s suggestion, and after a moment of surprise, he nodded with a laugh, "Sure."

"List what you want to eat and have the chefs prepare the ingredients."

"Mm hmm!"

Selena nodded eagerly.

As they said this, Sterling happened to walk into the living room.

"What are you talking about?"

He stood behind Selena, gently tidying her hair that had become messy from nodding excitedly.

Selena turned and smiled, telling Sterling, "Sterling, I was just discussing New Year’s Eve dinner with Grandpa."

After speaking, she tugged at Sterling’s sleeve, "How about we make the dinner ourselves tonight?"

Sterling raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Selena, "Forgot last time’s lesson?"

Selena’s face turned red, and instead of tugging at his sleeve, she pinched his waist hard.

"Can’t I just help out!"

After speaking, she immediately turned her head and quickly complained to the old man, "Grandpa, look, Sterling’s teasing me."

The old man, having received Selena’s plea for help, immediately scolded jokingly, "You brat, daring to tease your wife?!"

"..."

Sterling looked at the two, who seemed to be completely on the same side, and smiled helplessly.

"Not teasing you, so what do you want to eat?"

Hearing about food, Selena immediately forgot about Sterling teasing her and pulled him to sit on the sofa.

"Uh... there are dumpling wrappers at home, right?"

Just as Selena asked, the butler stepped forward a few steps, "Rest assured, ma’am, the ingredients were prepared long ago by the main house staff."

"There are already plenty of ingredients in the kitchen. If there’s anything special needed, staff can be arranged to purchase it now."

Upon hearing this, Selena smiled and nodded at him, "I understand."

Then, Selena pulled Sterling and the old man to discuss what dishes to prepare for New Year’s Eve dinner.

Mostly it was Selena chattering away while Sterling and the old man smiled and agreed with her.

After a while, the butler went down to prepare the list of ingredients that Selena made.

Once Selena and Sterling finished watching the news with the old man, the old man took the remote control.

"What do you want to watch? Choose yourself."

"Uh... let me see if there’s an update for ’XX Apartment’."

After thinking for a moment, Selena took the remote to check if there was an update for ’XX Apartment’.

Upon checking, she discovered two new episodes.

Her eyes lit up, and she eagerly clicked on them.

After opening them, she couldn’t help but recommend it to the old man, "Grandpa, this is a very popular TV series now. It’s really good, shall we watch it together?"

"Oh? Sure, sure..."

The old man, hearing Selena’s words, showed some interest.

Sterling, seeing their enthusiastic looks, knew he couldn’t avoid ’XX Apartment’ today.

He called up the servant standing nearby, "Prepare some fruit and snacks."

"Yes, family head."

When Selena was engrossed in watching, she was either chatting or eating.

In short, her mouth never stopped moving.

Upon hearing Sterling’s instruction to the servant, she turned to the servant, who hadn’t gone far, "Bring out the cherries from the fridge as well."

"Yes, ma’am."

Then, Selena turned back, enthusiastically promoting the series to the old man.

"Grandpa, this series is about the lives of some tenants in the xx apartment..."

"It has lots of funny plots, I’m sure you’ll laugh out loud too!"

"Alright, then I’ll wait to laugh with you."

The old man patiently listened, and when she finished, he would respond seriously.

Sterling, beside them, could only watch Selena, full of interest, discuss the series with the old man.

When the servant brought fruit and snacks, Sterling helplessly picked up the cherry plate.

"Take a break."

He handed the plate with cherries over, placing it in front of Selena’s mouth.

Selena habitually ate the cherries.

The cherries prepared by the main house’s staff were pitted, so Selena could eat directly.

Through most of the time, Sterling kept feeding while Selena and the old man watched the series together.

When it was about afternoon, time to prepare dinner, Selena finally paused ’XX Apartment’.

In the afternoon, the servants of the main house were given a holiday, and the chefs also left after preparing the ingredients.

The three of them entered the kitchen.

As Selena entered, she saw a mountain of ingredients laid out on the counter.

And the neatly prepared dumpling wrappers.

"Are these dumpling wrappers ready?"

Selena asked curiously.

The old man nodded beside her, "Yes, you can wrap directly."

The main house’s chefs not only prepared the dumpling wrappers but also several types of fillings.

Seeing the old man roll up his sleeves, wash his hands, and come over, Selena asked, "Have you wrapped dumplings before, Grandpa?"

The old man chuckled, "I used to make them for Sterling’s grandmother."
