I chose a canal with nude colors and the simplest piece in the closet. I think it's the only outfit I deserve to wear because everything else is too glamorous for me. I don't usually dress too fancy, because I was born not to embrace the so-called luxury at all.
"Sir." I looked down at a glance to pay my respects to him because I saw that he was already sitting at the dinner table earlier than me. "Sorry to keep you waiting." My regrets.
"That dress is very suitable for you." He complimented my appearance, and it made my blood rustle. Even so I tried to look calm and just smiled briefly then said. "Thank You.".
He said softly, "Have a sit." He even open the chair for me.
"Thanks."I swallowed hard, feeling so flattered by his sweet treatment on me.
"Choose the food you like and eat happily, eat everything you want in this table." He said and I saw everything looked delicious on the table, but I had to know myself, so I chose the salad, the plate closest to me.
"Eat meat, you are too thin." He said again as he looked at me and exchanged the salad plate I took for a plate of steak with premium meat and a sauce that I couldn't name but looked very delicious.
"How about it, you like your work?" He asked and it made me look at him.
"I love it." I replied with a smile, I inexplicably felt my cheeks heat up.
"Good." He smiled at me. "Don't forget to report me by email."
"I'll report you to night." I replied sure, I really don't want to disappoint him.
"Ok, you can check your virtual account when you finished your dinner."
"You already pay me? But I didn't finish my job either." I asked in doubt, and he smiled. "I pay your time, not the result."
"As that fast? you don't even know my work yet."
"I know I can count on you." He answered, and I saw throughout our conversation, he didn't even put a piece of food in his mouth.
"I almost forgot something." He said it surprised me. "I can't hire with minors, so I have to know how old you are now?"
"Twenty years." I answered.
"Ok good."
"Finish your dinner, I have a job in my room. You can ask the waiter where my room is if you need anything. Enjoy the meal."
"Thank you Sir."
He just left me, I don't know what he would do obviously, he must be a very busy person. I thought, this world is why it's so unfair. In another part of the city there is an orphanage with a narrow house and some children without parents who live in many limitations. But here, there is a man who lives without other family members, he has enough rooms to occupy, very much food to enjoy but is wasted by him.
If this food I can take home for the children at the facility where I was treated first. I pensively stared at the steak that was already in front of me, how could I eat this casual food while my orphanage younger siblings might not have eaten yet.

"Can I wrap the food?" I texted Mr. Christ, after considering for a very long time, whether I should ask him or stick with the prestige and shame that I had.
My phone vibrated instantly.
"You want to wrap food?" He asked in a puzzled voice.
"Yes." My nod was embarrassed, I was holding my forehead, somehow I had to hide my face right now.
"For what? You're going to stay tonight. Eat to your heart's content." He added.
"Em . . . I want to take the food to the orphanage because I think you don't need it here anymore." Honestly, oh... Why am I so like a requester right now?
"Give me the address, my driver will deliver food there right now."
"What?" I was surprised to hear his sentence.
"How many people live in that place?"
"Twenty-five people." I answered.
"I assure you from now on they will not starve. Give me the address."
"Thank you." My eyes glazed over and I couldn't help but feel the vibration in my voice. I almost cried I guess, oh no, I've cried more precisely.
"Finish your dinner, and rest." He ended his call and I sobbed at the dinner table. Some people noticed me I guess but they tried not to get close and make room for me to cry.
