As they were enjoying their meals, the group turned to the entrance of the shop and spotted Mr. Zen, the lobby manager of Wiltspoon Hotel. He entered carrying several packed dishes, placing them on the dining table. With a smile directed at Serenity, he said, “Here I am again, Ms. Hunt. Mr. York called and ordered a few dishes for you.”
While speaking, he retrieved the food containers from the bag, lifting the lids to reveal the contents on the table. Serenity smiled in gratitude, saying, “Thank you for coming all this way.”
“It’s no trouble at all,” Mr. Zen replied, feeling honored to run errands for Mr. Zachary. More importantly, he appreciated the opportunity to be in the presence of the missus.
Anyone familiar with Mr. Zachary knew he was an indifferent man; however, the person closest to his heart must surely be the love of his life. For Serenity to hold that position, Mr. Zen understood the importance of establishing himself in her presence—it would be far more beneficial than simply trying to impress Mr. Zachary.
“Um… I should let you enjoy your lunch,” he said with a grin, nodding at Grandma May before turning on his heel to leave.
Serenity accompanied him for a short distance to see him off. Once he was gone, she quickly pulled out her phone to send a thank-you message to Zachary, complete with a kissing emoji. Zachary was pleased to receive the text from his wife. During lunch, Serenity mentioned, “Liberty, I spoke with Zachary and told him to hire a dozen strong men to wait outside your residential building. Once the divorce papers are finalized, they’ll start moving you out and demolishing the renovations.” Liberty responded cheerfully, “I was worried about where to find people to tear the place down.” Initially, Grandma May had considered volunteering her grandsons to assist with the demolition; however, upon reflection, she decided against it.
Recognizing that it wasn’t the weekend and that year-end was fast approaching, Grandma May was reluctant to pull her grandsons away from their busy schedules to help out. Since Serenity had already spoken with Zachary, Grandma May chose to stay out of the matter. Jasmine then added, “Serenity, did Mr. York hire enough people for the task? I can call my cousins to join if you need more assistance. Also, do you want to involve Elisa? She’ll definitely give you a hard time for not including her in the fun.”
If Elisa were present, she would praise Jasmine for being such a good friend! Jasmine always made sure to include her in all the enjoyable activities.
