59 Dinner 1 (1/2)

Nickel feel relief after the said phone call. He wasn't annoy nor mad that Michael called Zoey's line instead he was glad that he can share his plans to his upcoming relocation. At least he said it personally.

Nickel sat on his chair and once again pulled his telephone line and dialed Officer Liao's.

”Is state room still available?” He asked.

”Yes Sir. We are planning to make it as the locker room or a lounge area for the workers. Why sir?”

”I change my mind. Clear the room and arrange it as Mr. Cortez' station. That will be his official station.”

May was hesitated to object or intervene to her boss decision, but she remembered that the Orb representative isn't an official employee of ASC. And they don't cater special treatment in their company.

”Yes sir.”

After the short conversation, Nickel returned to finish all his task for today. He is excited to see Zoey's family after work.

--

Zoey relay the message to his dad about Nickel's visitation tonight. The father of our poor girl was also excited to once again meet the lad he is eyeing for her daughter.

”That is very good news darling. I will go home now to supervise the preparation for our dinner. I will cook my specialty, Bicol Express, you like it??” Mr. Alcantara forgot to hide his motives to his daughter that he was planning to sell her to this lad.

But our Zoey didn't notice this because she starts drooling for the dinner to be served. It is one of her favorite dish we are talking about.

”Of course dad! You don't need to ask that from me!”

The simple dinner Nickel was expecting becomes a festival to the Alcantara Family.

During the early stage of the Alcantara family, Mr. Alcantara was responsible in preparing his family's meals. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, if Mrs. Alcantara was lazy to cook for her kids. Don't judge the mother of the household, she was off from work by five in the afternoon and arrives home at six due to the heavy traffic on the main roads. That is why Manang was a big help to the Alcantara couple in rising the two offspring.

Mr. Alcantara is a freelancer businessman, he holds his own time, a flexible time to take for his kids.

Zoey left her room and went to the entertainment room where Manang and her mom were busy watching the afternoon teleserye.
