Chapter 88
With Leslie’s help. Alan gained control over the surveillance system of Penelope Castle, which was his first step in preparing for his infiltration.
Next, he began studying the monitoring system, with the goal of becoming proficient in opening and closing any camera. Just as Alan was engrossed in his studies, Rocky knocked on the door to let him know that it was time for dinner.
The table was filled with exquisite dishes.
Despite there being only two five–year–olds, Rocky had prepared over a dozen plates of food.
“Wow! These are Alan’s and my favorite dishes! Rocky, you’re so kind to us, exclaimed Clara, who was already drooling at the sight of the delicious food.
“Miss Clara, it’s my greatest honor to serve you,” said Rocky modestly.
Clara began to eat!
As she noticed Alan sitting still, Clara urged him. “Alan, why aren’t you eating? The food will get cold soon!” Alan replied seriously, “Clara, Mom once told us that even though we have money, we shouldn’t waste food. These ingredients were grown and harvested by hardworking farmers. If we don’t finish them, their labor will be wasted.” Looking at the dishes on the table, Clara felt that Alan was right and couldn’t help feeling a little ashamed.
Their mother was always frugal and thrifty. In the past, this amount of food would have been enough for them to eat for a week.
“Rocky, when only Clara and I are dining, you can just make a couple of small dishes. If you’re worried about nutrition, you can combine a few ingredients to make a complete dish,” suggested Alan.
Rocky was surprised to hear such mature words from a young boy like Alan.
Mister Alan actually knew about nutrition!
However, given the wealth and status of the Melendez family, if there were only two dishes served per meal for Mister Alan and Miss Clara, it would not reflect well on Mr. Joshua Melendez. The Mr. Melendez might even fire him.
“Mister Alan, Mr. Melendez instructed me to take good care of you and Miss Clara, and I’ll be reprimanded if I neglect my duties,” said Rocky with a bitter smile.
“If that man dares to scold you, tell him it’s my order. I hate people who waste money just because they have it. If he insists on being that kind of person, I will only look down on him even more,” said Alan sternly.
What?
Rocky was taken aback by Alan’s authoritative words.
Could a five–year–old really say such things?
Rocky felt that Mister Alan had the style of a young master.
Poor Rocky was caught in the middle of Mr. Melendez and Mister Alan. It was not an easy position to be in.
Of course, Joshua was the true master here.
But if Mister Alan became offended, Mr. Melendez would also be displeased.
“Brother, don’t blame Rocky. He’s in a tough position,” said Clara as she ate. “The food is already made, so you should eat it quickly. Otherwise, it’ll get cold!” she added.
Rocky was grateful for Clara’s empathy.
“Have you eaten, Rocky?” Alan suddenly asked.
“We are servants. We must wait until you have finished before we can eat, Mister Alan,” replied Rocky.
“Well then, sit down and have dinner with us,” insisted Alan.
“Mister Alan, I can’t do that! If Mr. Melendez finds out I didn’t show respect to you, I will definitely lose my job.” Rocky broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head.
“I never thought of myself as Mister Alan here,” Alan said.
“Even the three of us couldn’t finish all this food. If you don’t help us eat some, do you want to waste even more food?” Alan
asked.
“No, Mister Alan…” Rocky still didn’t dare to eat with them.
Seeing Rocky trembling in fear, Alan lost his appetite.
Chapter 88
Was that man really so full of himself in front of others? Why did Rocky so afraid of him?
“Rocky, Mister Alan wants you to accompany him for dinner, and you should listen to him.”
Suddenly, a deep voice came from outside the door.
Clara looked up and saw her parents standing together at the door.
It was Joshua who said that just now.
In fact, Joshua had come back two minutes ago.
Hearing the conversation between his son and Rocky, he found it amusing.
Indeed, he was proud of his five–year–old son, who had got such leadership qualities and was not inferior to him!
However, his son was so frugal that he found only a dozen dishes to be too many. Did that poor woman teach this habit to
his son?
Thinking of his dinner with this woman, which was just a plate of Pumpkin Risotto, he could imagine how poor Christy and the children usually ate. It made him feel a little sad.
“Rocky, listen carefully. If Mister Alan’s proposed recipes are reasonable in terms of nutrition, you should follow his instructions, Joshua said.
If his son wanted to act like a little master, it meant that he treated this place as his home. As a father, to win his son’s favor, he certainly couldn’t lose his son’s face.
Alan glanced coldly at him, not feeling grateful.
This guy just bullied his mother at Victoria’s place and now wanted to charm him. Did this man think he was a three–year–old child?
Clara bounced towards her mother like a little rabbit and leaped into her mother’s arms.
“Mummy, Daddy, you’re back.” Clara blinked her big eyes at Joshua and said with a smile.
“Why didn’t you eat longer before coming back?”
Clara’s words almost choked Christy.
Eating with that guy would only create chaos. It was the same for lunch and dinner, and she really couldn’t take it anymore.
“Clara, what are you talking about? We came back to spend time with you after dinner. Isn’t that good? Mummy was worried. that you’d be afraid if you didn’t see me,” said Christy with an awkward smile.
“Mommy, with brother and Rocky here, I won’t be frightened!”
Clara looked at her father gloomily and said, “Daddy, in the TV series, after dinner, the hero and heroine would go shopping and watch movies. That’s a romantic time! Daddy, why did you bring Mommy back so soon? Didn’t you do anything like
that?
“Daddy, don’t blame me for saying that you’re stingy! It is the first time you asked Mommy out for dinner. How can you don’t even give her a gift? I’m so disappointed that my mother came back empty–handed! You are so handsome and rich, so why can’t you try to make Mommy happy?”
He was actually reprimanded by his little angel!
Joshua felt so wronged!
“Um! Who said I didn’t please her?” Joshua wiped his sweat and said, “I gave your Mommy a Diamond Black Card, let her swipe as much as she wants, but she just didn’t appreciate it!”
Using a Diamond Black Card with a limit of a billion to buy sanitary napkins worth a few dollars. This achievement was probably only possible by Christy.
If his friends in the business district knew about it, he would definitely be laughed at.
