最後的蛋糕

最後的蛋糕

陳家一家四口，加上一名外籍女傭，五人住在東涌某大型屋苑。陳生陳太每朝晨早出中環灣仔上班，一對子女亦回荃灣上學。留下傭人在家中打掃放狗買餸煮飯。一家五人關係一直良好。

傭人合約快將完結，她跟陳生說要回國搞點小生意，不再續約。陳生曾經挽留，無奈傭人去意已決，月尾便執行李搭飛機，衣錦榮歸。

＊　＊　＊　＊　＊　＊

轉眼又到月尾，傭人今天傍晚便要乘夜機返家鄉。傭人對陳家有點依依不捨，傭人決定要親手做一個蛋糕送給陳家，作為臨別秋波的心意。傭人一整便整了兩個蛋糕，一個送給陳家，另一個則帶回家鄉送給父母家人。

傭人把兩個蛋糕放進雪櫃裡，一個放進紙盒內，方便自己傍晚帶走。另一個蛋糕留待陳家今晚晚飯後作甜品。

下午6時，傭人拖著行李，要離開這個工作了幾年的地方。循例上陳生要check吓傭人的行李，睇吓傭人有無帶走任何並非屬於她的東西。陳生check過，一切無異。陳家揮手告別這位服務多年的傭人。

＊　＊　＊　＊　＊　＊

當晚十時，陳家小兒子嚷著要吃蛋糕。陳太從雪櫃取出蛋糕。兒子搶著要切蛋糕。兒子一刀切下去，刀鋒碰有硬物，心諗唔通有個「連殼合桃」留在蛋糕內？咦？刀鋒有金屬碰撞聲音，陳太急不及待搶過刀來，一刀將蛋糕切開。見到蛋糕中心內藏有鑽石戒指金鏈等首飾。陳家舉家四人，目瞪口呆！

兒子先出聲報告：今天下午，兒子入廚房打開雪櫃，在好奇心驅使下，打開紙盒看一吓傭人的蛋糕。兒子覺得傭人蛋糕的士多啤梨較多較大粒，兒子偷龍轉鳳，把陳家的蛋糕放入紙盒，傭人的士多啤梨蛋糕則留在雪櫃內，留待今晚飯後享用。

原來陳太無乜手尾，首飾用完便隨處亂放。而且又無乜記性，買過什麼珠寶都不是記得十分清楚。所以讓傭人有機可乘。

今天Last day，傭人將偷回來的珠寶放進蛋糕內，以為可以神不知鬼不覺，一拼拿走回國。結果給貪吃士多啤梨的兒子成功攔截，邪不能勝正。

二少爺說：這篇不是要去抹黑外籍勞工，香港人比她更衰更奸的，大有人在。

Never Gonna Let You Go - Joe Pizzulo and Leza Miller

I was as wrong as I could be

To let you get away from me

I'll regret that move

For as long as I'm livin'

But now that I've come to see the light

All I wanna do is make things right

So just say the word

And tell me that I'm forgiven

You and me

We're gonna be better than we were before

I loved you then but now I intend

To open up and love you even more

This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go

I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever

Gonna try and make up for all the times

I hurt you so

Gonna hold your body close to mine

From this day on we're gonna be together

Oh I swear this time

I'm never gonna let you go

Looking back now

It seems so clear

I had it all when you were here

Oh you gave it all

And I took it for granted

But if there's some feeling left in you

Some flickers of love

That still shines through

Let's talk it out

Let's talk about second chances

Wait and see

It's gonna be sweeter than it was before

I gave some then but now I intend

To dedicate myself to giving more

This time you can be sure
