Chapter 915
Serenity carried Sonny all the way to the car. She unlocked and opened the door to place Sonny in his child’s seat. She then turned around to face Zachary who was standing behind her. “I got to go.”
Zachary looked into her eyes for a while before finding his voice. “Okay.”
He looked at her front bumper and commented, “You should use another car.
Serenity had gotten into the car and started the engine by then. Winding down the window, she said, “This is the first car you gave me.”
Zachary’s eyes darkened. She drove off.
Standing there, Zachary watched as her car disappeared.
Jim, together with the other bodyguards, stood on duty a distance away. They dared not come close.
Although Mr. Zachary and his wife did not get into another fight, the couple was. distant from each other. The prior lovingness was no more.
Once Serenity’s car was out of sight, Zachary put his hand up and waved.
His security detail approached.
“To the office,” Zachary uttered gruffly.
With Jim notifying the chauffeur to bring the car around, Zachary got into his Rolls Royce and returned to the office with his security convoy.
Meanwhile, Serenity had arrived at her sister’s breakfast diner.
She had surveyed the area when she decided to open her own restaurant. Although eateries occupied the most lots on the street, business was great because of heavy footfall. This was also the street that employees of Lewis & Co. would pass through. If a restaurant was not doing well here, it could only mean that the food was not great.
Although Lewis & Co. had its own staff cafeteria, the company gave its employees a choice to eat out or bring their own packed lunch. One of the employee perks was a subsidy for opting out of the cafeteria.
Many who had gotten bored with the cafeteria food would eat out and give business to the local restaurants.
Not to mention, there was also a nearby high school, an elementary school, and two kindergartens. With some good cooking and a bit of hard work, there was bound to be some money to be made here.
Liberty was luckier than the others in the sense that her rental was cheaper. Duncan offered her a good rate.
She had to take up household responsibilities and learned to cook from the age of fifteen. Liberty believed she would turn a profit with All You Can Eat.
Liberty, who was wiping the tables clean in the restaurant, caught sight of her sister when Serenity parked the car.
