Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

âAhem!â Adrian Zhekova cleared his throat heavily and looked at Sheldon Rowland with a dangerous gaze.
How dare he try to steal the bossâs thunder? Is this something an assistant should do?
Cindy Clarke thought that Adrian was getting impatient, so she quickly said, âIn that case, we wonât disturb you any longer. Iâll formally express my gratitude another day.â
After Cindy finished speaking, she left with Morgan Clarke.
Before leaving, Morgan waved to Adrian Zhekova and Sheldon Rowland,
âGoodbye uncles, donât miss me too much!â
After thinking about it, he added, âOf course, since Iâm so cute, you definitely wonât be able to help but think of me. So just think of little me. Donât think too much, or else it wonât be good if you feel uncomfortable missing me.â
Sheldon Rowland:
Adrian Zhekova: â
Who did this child take after to be so narcissistic?
Even Cindy was having a hard time dealing with Morganâs thick-skinned behavior.
Itâs one thing for him to be like this at home, but heâs still like this outside.
Sheldon Rowland laughed and thought that Morgan might really be Adrianâs son.
Just look at the thick-skinned, narcissistic aura that emanated from him.
Itâs not something ordinary people can possess.
Of course, Sheldon didnât have the guts to really say it aloud.
As he thought about it, he opened the insulated food container to find neatly arranged beef strips.
Sheldon took a bite and his face instantly lit up with joy, âItâs so delicious! How did Cindy make this? The beef strips are dry on the outside so they donât stick together or have any oil. But the inside is a bit moist, retaining some of the meat juice. Itâs not hard at all, and itâs easy to chew.â
âDoes Morgan usually get to eat cuisine of this caliber? How lucky!â Sheldonâs face was filled with envy. âMaster Adrian, you should try it. Seriously, if Cindyâs other dishes are at this level, her promotion is basically a sure thing. Weâll have to let her participate with a mask when the time comes.â
Seeing Sheldon passing over the insulated food container, Adrian said, âIf you insist on me trying it, then Iâll try.â
Sheldon secretly pursed his lips, thinking of who insisted on Adrian tasting it.
If you donât want to eat it, I can save one for myself.
But he just didnât have the courage to say it out loud,
He still had to give the boss some face.
Adrian didnât know about Sheldonâs grumbling in his mind as he took a bite of the beef strip.
It was even more delicious than what Sheldon had described!
Adrian looked down at the box of beef strips in Sheldonâs hand.
He watched Sheldon as he was about to grab a second strip.
Adrian quickly took the whole box of beef strips away.
Sheldon was eating his beef strips!
Sheldon looked at his empty hands in confusion, âMaster Adrian?â
âA grown man who loves snacking like this will never find a girlfriend!â said Adrian while walking away with the box of beef strips.
Sheldon:
What does loving snacks have to do with finding a girlfriend?
Instead of returning to his office, Adrian Zhekova took the box of beef strips and left the company.
He just saw Cindy and Morgan leaving the companyâs main entrance.
Morgan was short and had small legs. Cindy couldnât walk very fast with him.
Adrian took long strides, and with a leisurely pace, caught up with Cindy and Morganâs slow walk in just a few steps.
âAre you going to the nursery?â Adrian Zhekovaâs voice suddenly rang beside Cindy.
Cindy was startled, her head snapping to the side, not expecting Adrian to appear at all..
