Chapter 48 The Show is About to Begin
“You don’t even think about it. If you don’t go back to our hometown, who will take care of Mom and Dad?” Sherry exclaimed, her voice suddenly rising eight degrees.
This sudden shout caught me off guard, and Robert immediately cast a cold glance at her. Sherry, realizing she had lost control, pursed her lips and lowered her gaze, picking up glasses to serve milk for everyone.
I quickly intervened, “Sherry, you’re being too strict. Let’s discuss it after we’ve eaten.”
Alice, with a pitiful look, occasionally glanced at Sherry and secretly peeked at Robert.
I disdainfully observed the scene before me.
“Sherry, is this your only sister? My oversight. Are there any other relatives in your hometown?” I asked Sherry, who was about to feed Charles.
“I still have my parents in my hometown, and this is my only sister. I always thought, working outside, someone has to stay at home to take care of our elderly parents. After all, they are getting old,” she said, pretending to be filial.
But in all the years she worked for us, I never saw her go back home, even during holidays. I’ve asked her many times if she wanted to go back, and she always said there was no need.
“It seems I’ve been careless, not paying enough attention to your family affairs,” I self-critically said.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Mrs. Brown, you’ve been very good to me,” Sherry replied indifferently, feeding Charles patiently. She cast a sidelong glance at Alice and added, “It’s not easy to come to Newport; it’s not like being in our hometown or Whitby!”
“But sister…”
“Hey, just eatl!” Sherry stopped Alice from continuing.
Alice ate her meal cautiously, barely daring to breathe, but she ate quite a bit.
After the meal, back in the living room, Alice was restless. Robert, who had been silent, finally asked her, “What kind of internship are you looking for?”
Alice’s eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, “Any position will do; I can do anything.”
Robert, sitting on the sofa, looked her up and down with a condescending gaze. “Then, come work as a receptionist in our company! Get used to it first, and we’ll see.”
Sherry immediately walked out of the kitchen, “Mr. Brown, that won’t work. She has no work experience at all. Bringing her into the company will cause you trouble. Besides, it’s too troublesome for her to come to Newport without a place to stay, and she needs…”
“Sis! I can learn without work experience. I can do it well and won’t cause trouble for Mr. Brown!” Alice urgently interrupted Sherry, fearing that her sister might ruin the job opportunity Robert had just offered.
“Can you lend me some money for now? I can share a place with my classmates, and it won’t cost much. When I earn money, I won’t ask you any more!” Alice said this in a humble but calculated manner, clearly conveying a certain message.
“You were doing fine in Whitby. Why do you insist on coming to Newport? Let me tell you, I’m very busy every day. I don’t have time to take care of you. ” Sherry was losing her patience.
“Let her stay here temporarily! You can take care of each other, get used to it first, and if it doesn’t work out, we can discuss it later!” Robert said, looking at me. “Daisy, is that okay with you?”
I immediately smiled gently, “Sure! After all, she’s Sherry’s sister, and helping out is only natural. Besides, we have empty guest rooms at home. It’s livelier with more people, and it can also help Sherry look after Charles. Let’s settle it this way!”
I had to go along with the flow and help out with this favor. How fun to have such a little beauty in the house! I wasn’t afraid of trouble now.
Sherry stared at Alice for a long time without saying a word. Alice looked at her sister, sparkling mischievously, then obediently thanked us, “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Brown!”
“Sherry, prepare a guest room downstairs for your sister and it’s more convenient. Let us know if anything is needed,” I arranged, then said to them, “I need to rest upstairs for a while.”
I stood up, and Robert stood up with me, explaining that there happened to be a resignation at the front desk, so they needed someone.
I nodded and went back to my room, while he went to the study.
Back in my room, I smiled knowingly, took out my phone, and opened the living room surveillance. Watching the scene below, I thought to myself, it seems the show is about to begin.
