“Reynaldo, look at Ms. Duffy, she had to resort to such methods just to have a few more dishes.”
We just ordered a lot of dishes. Let’s ask her to come and eat with us.
I furrowed my brows deeply.
This bad woman, she really is, won’t I die if she doesn’t provoke me for a day?
I turned to the side, half facing away from them, and said to Melany, “This big pot of food is really delicious, much better than the food cooked by someone else. Hmm, I just love eating this kind of big pot dish.”
Melany looked at me in surprise and smiled, not daring to say a word.
Soon, Reynaldo’s cold sneer came from beside: “Some people just don’t know how to appreciate. Even if she sleeps on the street and starves to death, she doesn’t deserve pity.”
Ha!
I sneered in my heart, who wanted them to be pitiful, they were just being sentimental.
I ignored them and buried my head, focusing on my meal.
Poor Melany, Reynaldo was there, but she dared not let go and eat freely. She only took small bites, eating the food on the plate with extreme refinement and restraint.
Speaking of the braised chicken leg, it was also crushed, and then she slowly picked up the chicken meat and put it into her mouth, which made

me feel so frustrated.

I finished the food on my plate, but she hasn’t finished even half of it.
Looking over at Reynaldo’s side, their dishes were already served.
Hmm, seven or eight dishes were ready in less than half an hour.
The employees in this kitchen, they really didn’t dare to be negligent at all.
Melany glanced at their table, her eyes filled with deep envy.
I whispered to her, “Don’t envy, next time when we get paid, I’ll treat you to a big meal.”
“Really?” Melany looked at me with gratitude, “My two children are money pits, I haven’t had a proper meal in years.”
“Really, I’ll wait until the day I get paid.”
“Mmm.” Melany nodded heavily, moved to tears.
And I don’t know if it was because the food was so delicious or because I was pregnant, but my appetite increased a lot. I finished the food on my plate, yet I still felt hungry.
I picked up the tray and went to get some food to bring over.
Melany looked at me in shock and said, “You can eat so much?”
I smiled at her and said, “Being able to eat is a blessing.”
Melany glanced at herself, then glanced at me, with a look of envy, and said, “How come you never gain weight at all?”
“I digested it well.” I smiled at her and said.

Just at that moment, the soft and somewhat compassionate voice of Kimberly drifted over.

“Reynaldo, look at Ms. Duffy, she must have had a tough time recently. That’s why she’s enjoying the cafeteria food so much, as she probably hasn’t had anything good to eat.”
Anyway, we couldn’t finish all these dishes, so I brought a few dishes over to her.
I furrowed my brows deeply.
This woman was really annoying.
Not hearing a word from Reynaldo, Kimberly quickly brought two dishes and placed them on our table.
Melany busily said, “Thank you , Kimberly. Thank you, Kimberly.”
Kimberly ignored her and just looked at me with a face full of pity, “Ms. Duffy, after your family went bankrupt, you must have suffered a lot, living from hand to mouth, right?”
“Here, this is for you from Reynaldo. Eat it quickly, look how much weight you’ve lost.”
She spoke and pushed the two dishes towards me.
Impatiently, I dropped the fork and snapped at her, “Thanks for your kindness, but unfortunately, I had already eaten. You guys can enjoy it yourselves.”
With that, I looked at Melany and said, “Have you eaten enough? If you have, let’s go!”
Melany stood up busily and exclaimed, “I ate enough, I ate enough.”
With that, she hurriedly nodded and bowed to Reynaldo and Kimberly,

saying, “Thank you, Mr. Humphrey, thank you, Kimberly. Well then… we… we should go and get busy.”
Reynaldo remained silent, his face cold as ice.

Kimberly pretended and said to me, “Ms. Duffy, at this point, you really don’t have to hold onto your pride, after all, people have to face reality.”
Starving oneself harms one’s own body, so in the end, it is still oneself who suffers. Therefore, you should go ahead and eat these two dishes.
“It’s not someone else giving it to you, it’s Reynaldo giving it to you.”
I tried my best to suppress the annoyance in my heart and smiled at her, saying, “Thank you very much for your and Mr. Humphrey’s kindness. However, I actually had a good appetite, but unfortunately, your excessive talking made me feel physically uncomfortable.”
