Could it be that Kent called Carter Lily back from the lunch meeting with just one phone call?
Audrey looked at Carter with some guilt and asked, "You haven't had lunch yet?"
Carter laughed and said, "No, I've had lunch. These are for the CEO. The CEO is out discussing business today. He called me just now saying he'd be back at the office soon and asked me to prepare lunch for him. So, I prepared a bit more according to the CEO's preferences."
As she talked, Carter took out the food from the container and arranged it on the table.
Mushroom soup, donkey-hide gelatin drink, spiced beef, steamed shrimp, stewed fish…
Rather than saying these are Clement's favorites, it's better to say they're Audrey's favorites.
In the two years they were together, Clement indeed treated her well. He paid attention to all her likes and gradually made them his own habits.
