“One, two, three, four... nine, ten!” As she reached ten, a small truck pulled up outside the Lenoir Group Building.
Two men and a woman emerged from the truck.
The men appeared to be laborers, while the woman had a gentle demeanor reminiscent of someone involved in charity work.
With a smile, the woman ushered the men inside, “Mr. Lenoir, | appreciate your willingness to donate food to the children at the orphanage in Adonia...” Damien rose from his seat and addressed the lady, “Its notwho wishes to donate. It’s my wife.” “My wife is compassionate and understands the challenges faced by the children at the orphanage, so she specifically requestedto reach out to you to donate drumsticks to the children.” Upon hearing this, the woman turned to Cherise with a smile, “Mrs. Lenoir is truly generous and kind- hearted!” “Mrs. Lenoir’s kindness is remarkable, which explains why she has such a wonderful husband like Mr.

The woman raised her hand, halting Cherise, “There’s no need for you to do that. Our two workers from the orphanage can handle it perfectly!” With a wave of her hand, the two men promptly began loading the truck.
The truck was soon filled to the brim with drumsticks.

After a pause, Cherise took a deep breath and added, I'm uncertain if | ate drumsticks like that as a child.” “Because when | was young... | never had drumsticks.” Her lips pursed, memories flooding back to her days in the Shaw's Village.
During that time, her uncle and aunt's family lived in poverty. Despite raising many chickens, the roosters were sold for money, and the hens were kept for egg production.
