Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 371

Lillian spoke with Celia Bennett for a long time. When it was time for lunch, Emma came to get them, and the group headed to the cafeteria.

The factory cafeteria had its own dedicated chefs, and the food at Lillian's company was known to be excellent.

Every month, employees received a stipend for meals, making the food they bought with their ID cards very affordable.

Lillian wasn't one for special treatment. Whenever she visited the factory, she never requested a separate meal and always ate with the workers.

Emma swiped her card to get Lillian a plate, then went back to sit with Celia Bennett.

As Celia Bennett sat down with her tray, Lillian noticed that her meal was exceptionally simple.

It was light and mostly vegetarian, with hardly any meat.

The cafeteria menu had prices listed, but they were several times cheaper than outside, with the difference, of course, being subsidized by Lillian from the company's budget.

Every month, Lillian also credited a meal stipend to each employee's card, ensuring the cafeteria contractor could still turn a profit.

"Ms. Bennett, why is your meal so plain?"

Celia Bennett lowered her head slightly. "I don't eat much, and I'm used to a vegetarian diet."

Lillian glanced over at Emma, who gave a slight nod, making a mental note of the situation.

Without pressing the matter, Lillian quickly steered the conversation back to work-related topics with Celia Bennett.

Once the discussion returned to work, Celia Bennett was once again eloquent and full of confidence.

Lillian had to admit, she really admired that pure, focused side of her.

Emma shook her head. "I don't know. Ms. Bennett is a master of roughing it. She's incredibly disciplined in her daily life, and her three meals are extremely simple.

For breakfast, she just has a couple of cold leftover rolls from the cafeteria and a bottle of water.

For lunch and dinner, she only eats the cheapest vegetarian dishes. It's…"

Lillian took a deep breath. "Emma, make arrangements. Give the cafeteria an extra stipend to cover Celia Bennett's meals. Since the cafeteria isn't open for breakfast, find someone to make her a nutritious meal in the morning. For lunch and dinner, prepare a balanced set meal with meat and vegetables for her, so she can't choose for herself.

If she works late, have one of the kitchen staff stay behind to make her a late-night snack. Something simple like noodles or soup would be fine. Don't let her go to bed hungry.

Also, have her office renovated to be like Victor's. Make sure the bed and everything else in the attached resting room are brand new."

Emma asked, "What about the apartment and the car?"
