Grandma May heard Dolly's words. She waved at Dolly and said, "Come here, Dolly."
Dolly walked over.
"Are the drumsticks ready to eat, Old Mrs. York?"
She thought Grandma May had called her over to eat the drumsticks.
Grandma May pulled Dolly over and hugged her. She smiled. "The drumsticks aren't done yet. It'll be ready soon.
"Why do you want to take over Sam's job?"
Everyone in the manor knew Grandma May adored Dolly.
The Yorks had not had a daughter in their family for generations. Since Grandma May had failed to have a daughter or granddaughter, she was hoping to get a great-granddaughter instead. She did not know if her wish could ever come true.
Grandma May often told her employees they could bring their daughters over to Wiltspoon to live and study. If the children had time, they could even use the playground in the manor. Grandma May thought her odds of getting a great-granddaughter might increase if there were more little girls in the manor.
"Uncle Sam is incredible. He's in charge of many people. He earns a lot of money. His house is very pretty too. I want to be like him."
Despite being only three, Dolly was clever and eloquent. Sometimes, her words could even shock an adult. She knew words that her parents had never taught her.
Whenever Sonny visited Wildridge Manor, he would go to her place to play with her. Sometimes, she was the one who visited the manor.
"You must've heard Uncle Sam's words just now, right? He would've retired and had someone take over his position by the time you're old enough to work. You'll have to wait for another uncle to retire before it's your turn. Besides, we don't want you to set your sights only on Sam's position."
Grandma May thought Dolly was extremely smart. If she was trained well, she could work at York Corporation in the future. With another decade of work experience, she could even become the right-hand mar of Grandma May's grandchildren.
Grandma May would always
promise the employees' children a

job at York Corporation after they graduated as long as they studied hard and had good character. Whether they could climb the corporate ladder depended solely on their abilities.
It was sort of an unfair advantage.
Many people wanted to join York Corporation, but not everyone could
could join the company because of the fierce competition.

Dolly raised her head to look at Grandma May. She looked deep in thought but also confused at the same time.
"Is Uncle Sam not good enough, Old Mrs. York?" Dolly asked.
Grandma May laughed. "He's great, but you youngsters should explore the world and gain more experience in life.
"Not just anyone can replace Sam's position. It requires lots of experience."
Dolly went silent.
No matter how clever she was, she was merely Sonny's age. Her parents had not sent her to preschool yet. They said it was scheduled for next September.
Although Dolly listened to everything Grandma May had said, she did not understand its meaning.
Looking at her, Grandma May
smiled. "You're still young. You don't
understand this yet. Go and playt
call you when the drumsticks are
done." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
'I'll
She put Dolly down and Dolly immediately ran toward Sam. She was closer to him.
Grandma May was kind like her own grandmother, but her parents often told her to treat the old lady respectfully. Grandma May was her parents' boss.
An hour later, Dolly sat before the table with her plate filled with grilled drumsticks, sausages, fish, and prawns.
She wore a pair of children-sized disposable gloves and started digging into a lamb skewer.
Although grease was all over her mouth, she enjoyed the food a lot.
