Bab 93: RDD 92
RDD 92
"We earned 5,200 pesos. So I think it's time to buy more beef tomorrow. I'll buy 40 kilograms of beef and many ingredients. Dozens of cases of beverages."
I said and the two of them nodded. They realized that they have to work harder tomorrow. Well, I already promised them that they would receive their first salary on Sunday.
Sunday was the rest day in our country and most companies were usually closed on that day. So I decided to not open the shop every Sunday.
"Then... Let's go find somewhere to eat."
Lunch was already over and we have already eaten around 12 noon. There was an eatery close to our shop and we ordered dishes with rice.
However, because I was in a good mood, I decided to treat them to another meal.
I actually promised that they have two burgers as a free meal every day. But the burgers were easily sold so I guess I have to treat them to another meal.
What? It's not a good thing to treat my workers? That's not how a businessman should act?
Well... I don't care.
After cleaning the shop and making sure that the appliances were turned off, we went out and walked a few meters.
We reached the eatery. Since this eatery was very close to FCIE, they were so many customers.
Thankfully, we found a table.
"Order what you want, I'm in a good mood right now."
"Then, I want fried chicken and rice. Oh, I want a coffee too."
Waylen ordered and the cook served his food.
"Coffee? At this weather?"
I frowned. It was 2 pm and it was freaking hot! The temperature was around 36° Celsius. Yet Waylen ordered a hot coffee?
... That was not a problem. As Filipino, we already adapted to the extreme heat. I can confidently say that we can drink hot coffee under the burning sun without flinching. We are built different.
Oh? The temperature is 40° Celsius? Not a problem, go blend some coffee.
If we died and went to hell, we're probably going to chill there and blend some coffee too.
So both Santiago and I decided to order coffee too. We easily devoured our meal. Men usually have a big appetite because they spent a huge amount of energy working. Especially when we're working in an exhausting industry such as Construction. I have seen so many men who can eat four cups of rice without getting full.
... Obviously, we ordered three cups of rice for each of us.
I spent almost 150 pesos on the meal... N- Not a big deal.
After today's work, Waylen left first. I was still not confident about the guy so I didn't offer him a ride. He was already an adult so he probably knew how to commute.
"Then, I'll leave now. Be sure to lock the shop before going to sleep."
"Be safe on the road, brother-in-law."
I nodded and drove my way into the house. Our shop closed very early because the burgers were sold out. There was no reason to stay in the shop.
Besides, I want to go to the house to cuddle with my wife.
"Penelope didn't visit the shop today. She's probably tired..."
Did I go too far last night? Perhaps I should have sex with her gently.
I didn't bother buying groceries because we already bought so many things yesterday.
"Waaahhh--!"
When I reached the house, I was greeted by a cry of a little girl. I thought it was Sophia so I sprinted into the house to see what was happening.
"Sophia? Penelope? Are you guys okay?"
I yelled and reached the garden.
"Roman, what did you do to Charlotte?"
Just like me, Penelope reached the garden. We both found Charlotte crying. Even Sophia was in tears. She glared at her brother.
"Bwother! You're bad! Bad!"
Sophia screamed.
Penelope glanced at me. She sighed and approached the kids.
As for me, I was relieved that everything was looking fine. I thought something bad happened. But it seemed that it was just a simple children's dispute.
"Roman, what did you do to Charlotte? Why is she crying?"
Penelope looked at his son. Roman had a cold gaze, staring at Charlotte with hatred.
"Tell me, what did you do?"
"..."
Roman could not speak.
"Roman, don't let your mother wait. Or else I'll ask you instead."
I joined the conversation with seriousness. In fact, I slowly pulled out my helmet to show that I was serious. Sometimes, you have to scare the kids to make them behave. I'm not the type of father who would never use my hands to discipline.
If I did something, my parents would be the ones to teach me a lesson. Especially my father, he knew how to use a bamboo stick to make my butt red. Not only me, but all of my brothers also experienced how terror our father was whenever we did something bad.
"... Charlotte said that I'm a lonely person because I always want to stay in the corner."
Roman started telling the story.
"Then what did you say?"
"I said that I don't need friends. I rather stay alone because it was much more peaceful."
"Okay, keep telling the story. I wonder what happened for you to make Charlotte cry."
"She said that it's sad. She doesn't like being lonely. Her parents are always not in the house."
"I said that maybe her parents didn't love her."
"Waahh! That's not true! My Mommy said that she loves me! As for Daddy... Wahhhh--! He doesn't talk to me at all! Waahhh!"
"..."
Both Penelope and I shut our mouths.
"Husband, let me take care of this. The kids have to understand that words are much more hurtful than physical pain."
Penelope glanced at me. It seemed that she have to teach Roman how to be a gentleman.
"Okay honey."
I instinctively nodded.
In the end, both Charlotte and Sophia didn't want to play with Roman after that day despite apologizing.
He only received three spanks in the butt and he was close to crying. Still, he took the spanks like a man.
