Chapter 915
Serenity carried Sonny to the car, where she unlocked the door and placed him in his child seat. Turning around, she faced Zachary, who stood behind her. “I have to go,” she said.
Zachary gazed into her eyes for a moment before responding, “Okay.”
He glanced at her front bumper and remarked, “You should consider using a different car.”
By then, Serenity had entered the car and started the engine. Lowering the window, she replied, “This is the first car you gave me.”
Zachary’s expression darkened.
She drove away.
As she left, Zachary stood there, watching her car disappear from view.
Jim and the other bodyguards stood a distance away, hesitant to approach.
Although Mr. Zachary and his wife had not fought, there was a noticeable distance between them. The previous affection was gone.
Once Serenity’s car was out of sight, Zachary raised his hand and waved.
His security detail moved closer.
“To the office,” Zachary said curtly.
With Jim informing the chauffeur to bring the car around, Zachary got into his Rolls Royce and returned to the office with his security convoy.
Meanwhile, Serenity arrived at her sister’s breakfast diner.
The renovations at Liberty’s restaurant were nearing completion. She had everything she needed; now it was just a matter of arranging the furniture and tidying up before opening day.
Liberty needed to choose the perfect day for her grand opening.
The signboard reading “All You Can Eat” may seem cheesy, but it appealed to the public.
The street was bustling with fast-food and breakfast diners.
The other restaurant owners on the street were curious about the nature of Liberty’s business as her space underwent renovations. Would Liberty become one of their competitors?
Competitors? Some had approached Liberty, and she honestly informed them that she was entering the food and beverage industry. Later, restaurant owners would visit Liberty’s diner to share their struggles with slow business due to stiff competition on the same street. Liberty would smile and refrain from offering her opinion.
When she decided to open her own restaurant, she had surveyed the area. Although the street was filled with eateries, business thrived due to heavy foot traffic. This was also the route taken by employees of Lewis & Co. If a restaurant struggled here, it could only mean that the food was lacking.
Despite having a staff cafeteria, Lewis & Co. allowed employees the option to eat out or bring packed lunches, with a subsidy as a perk for choosing to eat elsewhere. Many employees, tired of cafeteria food, opted to dine out, supporting the local restaurants. Additionally, the presence of a nearby high school, an elementary school, and two kindergartens provided even more potential customers. With good cooking and hard work, there was definitely money to be made.
Liberty was fortunate compared to others, as her rent was lower; Duncan had offered her a favorable rate. Having taken on household responsibilities and learned to cook since she was fifteen, Liberty was confident that her restaurant, All You Can Eat, would be profitable. While wiping down tables in the restaurant, Liberty noticed her sister Serenity pulling into the parking lot.
