Chapter 902
Trisha wet her lips slightly, “You have a guest. Perhaps I should come another time.”
She started to get up when Nicolas gently held her shoulder and guided her back to her seat.
“No worries, just spit it out. She won’t disrupt us, and even if she overhears, she won’t blabber”
Trisha sat back down, pondering for a moment before saying, “I’m planning on doing some interviews these days. I’ve been working on my resume, but I feel like my experience doesn’t stand out I was wondering, do you guys have any unaired shows that I could co–write? And if so, can we list my name there?”
After finishing her sentence, she added, “If this request puts you in an awkward spot, just forget I ever said it.”
“Is that all?” Nicolas chuckled “I thought it was something serious.”
Seeing his relaxed demeanor, Trisha’s eyes lit up. “So, can I join?”
Nicolas looked at her eager face, and couldn’t resist teasing her, “Sure, but you gotta give me something in return.”
Without missing a beat. Trisha responded, “How about I bring you another box of pastries?”
Nicolas snickered, “I have plenty of money. Those things money can buy, I don’t give a damn.”
Somewhat perplexed, Trisha asked, “So what do you want?”
Nicolas didn’t hesitate to explain his condition.
“You’ll cook for me for a year.”
Trisha was taken aback, “You have a girlfriend, and you want me to cook for you?”
“I don’t “Nicolas started to answer, but stopped abruptly, then cleared his throat and said, “Does she look like she can cook?”
Trisha elbowed him. “Are you saying I look like I do grunt work?”
Nicolas ducked in time to avoid getting hurt, but he pretended to flinch and sighed, “I was complimenting you on being adaptable.”
Trisha snorted, “A year is too long. At most, one month,
Nicolas clicked his tongue. “That’s a steep discount, don’t you think? This is about your job, I can accept at least half a year.”
Trisha stood up and said, “Never mind, I don’t need your help.”
Nicolas grabbed her quickly. “Negotiation requires compromise. You can’t just bail because I made a condition”
Trisha glared at him. “I ask you for a favor and I have to be your nanny for half a year? I might as well be your nanny outright. Why the hell am I wasting my breath?”
“That’s fine with me. We’ll stick to the previous salary agreement, you just take care of my meals, and you can use the rest of the time as you please You’ll also have time to work on your script and who knows, you might write a hit.”
Trisha struggled, “Let gol”
Nicolas helplessly said. “Three months, that’s all. I’m offering you so much help, you just have to cook for me for three months. That’s a fair trade, isn’t it?”
Trisha stopped struggling, she shot Nicolas a glance, “I’ll cook on the odd days of the week and rest on the even days. Take it or leave it.
Nicolas gritted his teeth, “Fine, I’ll compromise”
Trisha gave a faint smile, “You’re so generous.”
