Every night on the third night ben decided to confront jack. He was sure that he was stealing the ingredients and he wanted to catch him. Red-Handed jack ben called out to him. Why are you in such a hurry to go home? Come to my office?
Real quick jack was startled at ben’s sudden call. He dropped his bag on the floor before heading inside the cafe. Take the bag with you, ben ordered jack gulped and followed his boss’s lead when they got to the office. Ben went straight to the point. You’Ve been going home with a full bag every night and it just so happens.
My pantry is being depleted of his expensive ingredients. Do you have something to tell me jack’s facial expression, suddenly changed surprised by what ben was trying to imply, sir?

Where are you taking it? He asked his staff jack revealed that, at the back of the cafe, a stray dog gave birth to four puppies, with no one taking care of them. Jack had been feeding them with leftovers. I put up puppy adoption posters in my neighborhood every time. Someone gives me a call, i take a puppy to its new owners after work, jack admitted ben couldn’t help but laugh feel awful jack.
I’M sorry for accusing you of stealing from us. I knew you were a good man, but i didn’t know you were this. Compassionate of living things he commended wanting to help his boss find the culprit jack suggested. They checked the cafe surveillance cameras for any leads ben commended jack, as he didn’t think of checking the tapes at all. They went through a week’s worth of tapes to see who had been entering the pantry and they saw one person who was frequently there.
Ben’S daughter, alicia ben, could not believe his eyes and decided to watch the tape several times, and they only confirmed that. It was indeed alicia getting the expensive ingredients from the pantry. Why should she steal from her father ben said in disbelief? I can’t believe she’d do this to me. Alicia a high school sophomore had been working at the cafe that summer training as a receptionist entertaining guests.
Before they were seated, she discovered her dad’s extensive pantry and started paying attention to it by going there every day, when everyone else was too busy to notice that night ben confronted his daughter at home, he wanted to find out why she had been stealing from him And let her know how disappointed he was in her alicia admitted that she was trying to impress her boyfriend a senior at their school. He was particularly interested in gourmet food, so she started picking out the most expensive ingredients for him to use on his dishes. Disappointed in his daughter ben fired her instantly and told her. She could no longer work at the cafe. He decided to give jack the job and he thrived as a receptionist.
Not only did jack have a pleasing personality, but he was also very accommodating. In a matter of weeks, he was able to double the guests coming into the cafe. Ben couldn’t be happier and he wanted to reward jack for his handiwork. Is there anything i can do for you jack anything at all, you’re, my most prized employee? I don’t want to make sure you’re treated well here ben said after seeing that their sales had tripled on a friday night.
Well, there’s one thing, sir jack said a smile. Slowly, forming on his face. What is it anything at all ben replied. There’S one more puppy that needs a home. He grinned would you like to adopt.
It ben shook his head and laughed here. I was thinking you were going to ask me for a raise less than a month after working your new job, and yet here you are asking me to adopt a puppy. You are something else jack. He said patting him on the back. I will take the puppy home with me tonight.
Don’T you worry, i promise to take care of it been assured better. Yet i’ll have alicia help me, so she learns a thing or two about responsibility.
