World Domination Begins With Getting a System in a Modern World Chapter 17: Making Dinner

Jas spent the rest of the day on the betting platform, boosting the balance in his betting account.

He had nothing else to do anyways. And since through the betting platform is the only way he has for acquiring rebate-eligible funds, he decided put all of his attention into it.

He had no idea how much had passed until he finally achieved his goal of flipping his $2k to $5k. He actually achieved more than that, as his betting account balance was now at $8k.

$8k!

Jas laughed heartily when he saw this. Just thinking of how much it will be after the rebate has been applied on it, made him feel like he was floating.

"Life is good!" He laughed, sinking into the sofa.

He raised his head and looked out the window and he saw that the sun was already setting.

He decided to check the ti, as he tapped on his phone screen and it lit up.

"4:20 pm. Almost ti for dinner. Also, Patty and Leslie will soon be back," Jas murmured, as he stood up from his sleeping position, and sat on the sofa.

"I think I should make tonight's dinner," Jas said to himself, and nodded in agreent to his own words.

"Yes, I should. Though my cooking isn't half as good as Patty's, it's miles ahead of Leslie's," he laughed.

He quickly stood up from the sofa and made his way to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Before he started, he decided to call Patty and tell her that he would be the one making dinner. He dialled her number and the call was picked on the second ring.

"Hey, honey," Patty said from the other side of the phone.

"Hi, Patty. Um, I just want to tell you that I will be making dinner for tonight. So, you don't need to worry about it," Jas said, with a smile on his face.

He has no idea but he can't help whenever he's talking to Patty. He just can't help it.

"Oh, you're making dinner?" Patty asked, wanting to confirm what she heard.

"Yeah," Jas replied.

"Um, okay. If you really want to do it, I won't stop you. I will be looking forward to what you're going to make," Patty said, giggling.

"You're teasing right now. But don't worry. I'm not trying to make it as good as yours. That's impossible. Instead, I will do my best to make sothing delicious," Jas smiled.

"You don't need to worry about your cooking, honey. I trust that you will make sothing wonderful. I would had already been contemplating on what to order if it was Leslie that wanted to do the cooking."

"Pfft." Jas burst out into laughter when he heard what Patty said.

"So, do you need money to buy any grocery material?" Patty asked.

The reason she asked this is because she has no idea what Jas wants to cook and she doesn't know if all the ingredients he needs are available at ho.

"No, No. I don't need any money." Jas replied, with a smile.

"Ok, honey. I will see you at ho then. I look forward to dinner." She giggled, and hung up.

Jas shook his head, smiling. He knew that Patty was teasing him about him making dinner with her giggle, but he wasn't bothered. He was going to make sure that he makes sothing wonderful.

He dropped his phone on the kitchen countertop and imdiately got to work. He started taking out the ingredients and he did all the necessary things, and when he was done with those, he started cooking.

What Jas was making for dinner is Greek salad with fried chicken.

The kitchen started blazing hot as Jas got cooking. Ti passed and everything were starting to co together.

The sizzling sound of chicken hitting hot oil filled the kitchen, blending with the sharp aroma of spices.

This was coupled with the fresh scent of chopped vegetables for the Greek salad added a refreshing contrast to the rich sll of frying chicken.

Jas was still in the kitchen when he heard a knock on the door. He paused what he was doing and went to open the door, as he had previously locked it and was yet to unlock it.

As he walked towards the door, he picked up his phone to check the ti.

*5:20 pm*

"About ti."

When he got to the door, he peeped through the peephole to check who it was, and he saw that it was Leslie. And he imdiately opened the door.

"Hey. You look busy," Leslie said, as she walked into the house.

"Yeah, I am. I'm making dinner." Jas replied, as he went back to the kitchen.

"Ohhh... You're making dinner? It's been a while since you made dinner. I will finally get to taste your poisonous and deadly delicacy again. What an honour." Leslie said, smiling mischievously.

"Well, at least one can still be treated when they eat my food. As for yours, whoever eats it has less than ten seconds to live," Jas said, smiling.

Leslie closed her eyes briefly as she felt a sharp arrow pierce her heart, hearing what Jas said.

"Don't worry, one day I will get good at cooking. Just you wait and see." She said, stumping her feet, as she went u to her room.

"Get good fast or you will be the one to kill your future husband." Jas said, making sure to not let her go free.

As expected, he got the response he was expecting from her.

"Die!"

He chuckled at her reaction, but he quickly turned his attention back to what he was cooking. He doesn't want to make any mistake and give Leslie any opportunity of using it against him.

Few minutes later, he was finally done with making dinner. And at the sa ti,he heard a knock on the door and a sound of it opening.

Jas already knew who the person that walked in was. He walked to the dining table and started setting it.

"Welco ho, Patty. How was work today?" He asked, when he saw Patty walking up to him.

"Work was fine. Just the usual stress but besides that, everything was perfect." Patty replied, as she caressed his cheek.

"It seems like you're done with dinner. Let go and freshen up first, then I will be back." She said, and started walking up the stairs.

"Ok. Don't take long though. You don't want it to be cold." Jas smiled.

"Don't worry, I won't take long." Patty smiled.

"Is Leslie back," she asked.

"Yeah, she's in her room."

"Ok, I will be back down soon. Just give a minute," Patty said, and disappeared into her room.

Jas countinued setting up the dining table, and after he was done, he took his seat and started waiting for the two ladies to co down.

While he waited, he decided to withdraw the money on his betting account.

"I now have $6k in rebate-eligible funds. This should be enough to take care of so minor issues at ho. And I should also probably pay a quarter of my student loan," he said to himself.

He was still on his phone and thinking of his plan for the next day when he saw Leslie coming down the stairs, followed behind by Patty.

The two of them walked to the dining table and took their seat. And Jas served their plates.

After they were seated, the three of them started eating, having their wholeso family dinner.
