Benjamin rushed over to the dog cages, making Rebecca wonder what he was up to. She normally stayed far away from the dog cases because she didn’t like the smell of the dogs or the cages, but she realized that something was wrong. So, she came a little closer to observe what was going on.All the dogs were bleeding from their mouths and noses. One of the dogs had its eyes completely turn red as if something badly hurt her.“W-What happened to those dogs?” Rebecca asked. “Did they fight each other?”“No,” Benjamin’s voice was serious. “Glass pieces got into their skin and mouth.”“Huh? Why would they mess with glass?” she wondered.“They wouldn’t,” Benjamin looked around and eventually found the bucket. He saw that glass was mixed with the meat chunks. “Someone mixed glass pieces with meat before feeding it to the dogs.”Rebecca was utterly shocked. “No way. Who would do such a thing?”Benjamin looked at the dogs, but they didn’t seem to know the answer. “Oliver feeds them, so we shoul

Benjamin washed the dishes, then the clothes, and then he polished the shoes before finally coming to Rebecca’s room. It was nine at the time.The others had dinner, but he didn’t.“Why didn’t you eat dinner?” he asked her.“Didn’t feel like it,” she said while drawing dancing dinosaur designs.“They look cute, though they’re not real,” Benjamin said.“Dinosaurs are real,” she replied. “The scientists found bones of these beasts in many parts of the world.”“Well, those were the bones of the giants and dragons and other beasts, but not the dinosaurs which are nothing but fiction,” Benjamin said.“Fictional, you say…” Rebecca scrutinized his eyes. “Why do you sound so sure?”“Because I’m speaking the truth.”“Huh, you can’t give a better answer than that, can you?”“Not right now, but one day, I will show you the truth,” he replied. “Hopefully.” As he observed her drawings, he understood that she was mixing three concepts. “So you are working on dinosaurs, outerspace, and the mafia.”

The next morning.Rebecca woke up and got off the bed.Benjamin entered the room with a glass of hot almond milk as if he knew the exact time she would wake up. This annoyed her, and she said, “I don’t want it. Take away.”“What? But said you loved it,” he said.“I never said that,” Rebecca really never said that before. She said it was good, but she didn’t remember saying something like ‘I loved it.’“But you drank without complaint,” Benjamin retorted. “I thought you loved it.”“Don’t make me repeat myself,” she indifferently said. “I’m not drinking that. You can pour that in the sink or toilet if you want.”“Why would I do that?” Benjamin sipped on the milk, and the sound he made while at it annoyed her even more.“Don’t make noise while drinking!” she raised her voice. “It’s disgusting.”Benjamin then silently drank. However, he made a joyful expression with his eyes closed as if he was loving the milk.“Ugh,” Rebecca quickly went into the washroom, not wanting to see his antics a

Everyone was having breakfast.Benjamin was eating faster than everyone because he hadn’t eaten anything in almost two days. Even though he was not a fan of his own cooking, right now, anything would do.Nobody even wanted to bother him because he seemed immersed in eating. At least, he didn’t make much sounds, so they didn’t complain.Eventually, Benjamin was the first to finish eating. He quickly took his plate to the kitchen, washed it, and then returned to his seat so that he could sit next to Rebecca and look at her.Rebecca was acting like she was not noticing, but she was obviously not liking what he was doing. She glanced at him and said, “What are you looking at?”“A living treasure,” he replied.“Cringe,” Veronica said aloud.“Wait a second,” Benjamin pulled dollar bills and coins out of pocket. “Sister-in-law, I have about a hundred dollars here. How much do you need to buy a pair of pants?”“Huh? What are you talking about?”“I mean, you are wearing scanty clothes because

Rebecca stopped the car at a junction.A couple of school girls quickly came to the car and knocked on the door.Rebecca slightly lowered the window.“Please drop us at our school, sister. We have exams today,” one of them said.“Did you miss the school bus?” Rebecca asked.They both nodded quickly.“Couldn’t you take a taxi then?” she asked.“They ask for a lot of money. We don’t have that much money,” they said.Rebecca smiled and said, “Alright, get in.”She opened the doors. The elder sister sat in the front. The smaller one sat in the back.The elder sister kept talking about how difficult her school life was. Every time they’d miss the bus, they would be afraid to go back home as their parents would yell at them.The smaller sister, on the other hand, was looking at Benjamin like she couldn’t take her eyes off him. She was smiling, making him wonder what she was thinking.“You are so beautiful,” the little girl said smiling brightly.Benjamin’s heart melted for a second. “Oh, th

Benjamin delivered twenty pizzas and received a hundred dollar tip, which made him a little happy.“What should I buy with this money?” he wondered. “How about I save some money and then take her to a restaurant? But I don’t know how much she spends per sitting, so how much should I save? A thousand? Two thousand?”If Rebecca spent thousands of dollars on her shoes and tens of thousands on her goggles, then how much would she spend at a restaurant?After some thinking, he thought, “How about I take her to a simple restaurant? Even if she eats a lot, it won’t cost more than a hundred dollars.”A few seconds passed as he drove down the street.“But will she come to a small restaurant? She did come to Pure Waters which isn’t quite a luxury place. So, I can’t take anything for granted.”Soon, he reached the pizza hut and was in a good mood. But he was still careful in that he didn’t want to tell anybody how much he received through the tip as the manager Christopher would get very jealous

Since Benjamin started the delivery job, that day proved to be the second-best day in terms of earnings.When Rebecca came to pick him up in the evening, Benjamin scuttled over to the car and stood by the front door to talk to her instead of entering through the back door.Rebecca lowered the window and stared at him. “What?”“Let’s go to a restaurant. I’ll pay,” Benjamin said excitedly. He clearly remembered her telling him that she wouldn’t let others pay for her, but he still asked her anyway.Rebecca paused for a moment and said, “Fine. Get in.”“Great,” Benjamin came to the other side of the car, but she told him to go to the back, so he had to sit in the back. “When are you going to let me sit in the front? I’m just asking.”Rebecca stopped the car.Benjamin looked to his left and realized that the car stopped in front of a five-star hotel named ‘Frills.’ “D-Don’t tell me, we’re eating at this hotel?”“Why? You can’t pay?” she asked.“U-Uh, I can, but…” as he was saying, Rebecca

After the meals, Rebecca seemed fine, but Benjamin wasn’t looking happy because the food didn't taste good to his tongue. He couldn’t even call it average. And he wasted 500 dollars for unappetizing food which only looked good for the eyes but not for any other senses.The bill was 494 dollars.Benjamin gave the waiter five hundred dollars.It felt too little.The waiter made Benjamin aware of his disappointment with his subtle gesture.Benjamin patted the waiter’s shoulder and said, “Don’t see it as six dollars. See it as six hundred cents. Then you’ll unravel the mystery of money.”“Mystery?”“That one dollar to you is a hundred dollars to someone else,” Benjamin said. “One can even tell where the wind comes and goes, but who can tell where the fortune comes and goes?” Saying that he walked away.The waiter looked at Rebecca, hoping she might give him some money.“Why are you looking at me? Do you ask tips from everyone at the table? Don’t get ahead of yourself,” she retorted and th
