Two hours later, the sun was high in the sky, and the temperature on the ground was gradually rising; it was lunchtime.
Fagga and Ellen went downstairs to have lunch with the rest of Victoria Housekeeping.
Fagga swallowed hard, nervously picked up a piece of meat that looked edible, hesitated for a long time before tremblingly putting it into his mouth.
Suddenly, the moment my tongue touched the braised pork, a sweet taste instantly filled my brain.
Hmm, it's not bad!
Fagga's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. After swallowing it, he commented:
"It looks good and tastes okay, just a bit too sweet. People who like sweets should really like it. Did Colleen make it?"
"Um!"
Seeing that Fagga had given a positive evaluation, Kelin finally breathed a sigh of relief, immediately squinted her eyes happily, and excitedly responded.
really!
Fagga picked up another piece of meat, feeling relieved.
I was too tired yesterday to make lunch today, but luckily Kelin filled in.
Otherwise, the whole family would have to go back to supporting the hospital's business...
"It's definitely too sweet. I thought I didn't put in enough sugar. Should I go back and make another one?"
Kelin also picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, although for her taste, the sweetness was just right.
But since Mr. Fagga said it was too sweet, let's make a new one and try to make it perfect next time!
Kelin nodded slightly, clenching her little fists to cheer herself up.
After saying that, he was about to leave the table, intending to go into the kitchen to make another dish.
"Hey, wait a minute, come back. I didn't say you did a bad job."
Seeing that Kelin seemed to have misunderstood him, Fagga couldn't help but smile bitterly. Having just drunk blood once, he reacted extremely quickly, pulling Kelin back before her toes even touched the ground.
Colleen lowered her head slightly, her two pigtails drooping pitifully, and said, "But... Mr. Fagga said I haven't done well enough..."
"I never said it wasn't good enough, it was just a little too sweet."
Fagar smiled helplessly, then gently patted little Colleen's head and said softly:
"On the other hand, if some people don't like it, it means that there are probably many other people who do like it."
"Does Colleen like sweet food?"
"Um!"
Kelin's eyes flashed, and she nodded obediently like a little quail.
"That's correct, isn't it?"
Fagga gently ruffled Corinne's ponytail, his fingertips tracing the green ends of her hair.
“There will be people who like her just as much as Colleen, and they will all be just as lovely as Colleen.”
"Hmm..."
Seeing that Colleen's cheeks were slightly flushed, she lowered her head shyly. Fagar then turned his gaze elsewhere, but suddenly noticed that Lycan's expression was unusual. Fagar felt his breath catch in his throat and silently looked away.
But things can't stay like this forever.
A moment later, Fagar feigned a cough twice, quickly changing the subject to divert Lykan's attention:
"Mr. Lykahn, what's the latest on the Ballai Building?"
Upon hearing Fagga's voice, Lykahn's chopsticks, which had just picked up some food, suddenly paused in mid-air. He then gave Fagga a deep look before replying:
"The handover went smoothly, and the employer happily paid the final payment, which totaled 16 million, and it has all been transferred to Victoria Household's account."
"So decisive?"
Eileen couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
As an elderly woman working at Victoria Housekeeping... well, compared to Fagga, she knew very well that a service fee of tens of millions was no small sum.
Moreover, employers don't always have tens of millions of dollars in liquid funds, so installment payments and mortgage payments are common practice.
"This client is a repeat customer, so from the beginning we were raising funds with the mindset that we could actually complete the task!"
Lina returned at some point and sat down next to Lycaen.
But after a while, she seemed to remember something, her slender fingers tapping her chin as she murmured:
"But afterwards the employer said that because the Ballai Building was used as the scene of a kidnapping, they were worried that it would affect the commercial value of the Ballai Building, so they had the idea of paying the penalty to give up the Ballai Building as soon as possible."
"Unbound by sunk costs, decisively paying another price to shed burdens—is this the execution ability of top businessmen?"
Fagga marveled.
A short while later, he put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Then I'll be going now. By the way, there shouldn't be any requests lately, right?"
"We don't have any recently!"
Lina rested her arms on the table, her fingers interlaced, her gentle smile concealing a hint of danger.
"Then, let's have a pleasant trip back to school this afternoon, Fagga and Ellen!"
"Pfft, cough cough!"
Fagar didn't react yet, but Ellen choked.
Fortunately, Colleen patted Eileen's back, and she soon recovered. She stared blankly at Lina's face and said dazedly:
"ah?"
Lina looked over when she heard the sound, casually picked up a fork with her right hand, and then stuck a cherry into it, which was meant to be a dessert.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared!
"What, does Eileen have a different opinion?"
The instant she finished speaking, the electricity in Lina's hand expanded to a certain critical value, and the cherry exploded on the spot!
