Chapter 41<\/div>\n
The weekends were typically quiet at the shop. In fact, it was so slow that closing the doors for the day would have been a reasonable option.<\/div>\n
Despite the lack of business, Serenity chose to come to the shop. The calm atmosphere provided the ideal opportunity for her to create crafts to sell online.<\/div>\n
Jasmine was there too.<\/div>\n
Noticing Serenity\u2019s presence, Jasmine exclaimed in surprise, \u201cSeren, what brings you here on a Sunday? You\u2019re usually at the park with your nephew.\u201d \u201cI need to restock my online business,\u201d Serenity replied.<\/div>\n
As she knitted, Serenity raised her chin and glanced at her best friend with a smile. \u201cAnd what about you?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cUgh. I couldn\u2019t handle my mom\u2019s nagging, so I came to hide out here,\u201d Jasmine replied.<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s bothering her this time?\u201d Serenity inquired.<\/div>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s upset because I didn\u2019t find a husband at the dinner party the other night. Does she really think it\u2019s that simple? She believes I\u2019m some kind of catch, like Ms. Universe or something.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity couldn\u2019t help but laugh.<\/div>\n
Jasmine had just put into words what many parents felt. Parents often worried about their children\u2019s future happiness, especially as they approached the age where starting a family seemed imminent. While marrying at twenty-five was once considered late, those norms had shifted.<\/div>\n
\u201cMy mom even asked my aunt to set me up with some guys. I\u2019m supposed to go on a blind date tonight at a coffee house. I mean, a coffee date at night? With coffee involved, it might just stretch until dawn!\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat if you invited me along to the blind date, Seren?\u201d Jasmine suggested.<\/div>\n
Serenity quickly shook her head. \u201cNo, thanks.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOh, come on, Seren! Please say yes. You\u2019re my girlfriend and my best friend! You always look out for me. You wouldn\u2019t let me go through this alone, would you?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t always look out for you. You can find someone else to help you out,\u201d Serenity replied.<\/div>\n
Jasmine persisted, \u201cI\u2019ll treat you to supper!\u201d<\/div>\n

\u201cAfter the date,\u201d Serenity thought to herself, feeling a mix of emotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have money. I can buy my own supper. Thank you very much,\u201d she declared, wanting to assert her independence.<\/p>\n

Serenity was hesitant about joining her best friend Jasmine on this blind date. What if, instead of being interested in Jasmine, the date found Serenity more appealing? <\/p>\n

There were plenty of stories about such scenarios. For instance, a woman once went out with a blind date while accompanied by her sister-in-law. To her dismay, the date ended up being attracted to her sister-in-law, which soured their relationship. Serenity and Jasmine shared a close bond, often discussing everything under the sun, yet there were boundaries that should never be crossed.<\/p>\n

However, attending a dinner party with Jasmine was a different experience. Surrounded by successful professionals who had lofty expectations for their partners, Serenity felt at ease knowing she didn\u2019t quite measure up to those social elites.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeren,\u201d a familiar voice called out, snapping her from her thoughts.<\/p>\n

Both she and Jasmine turned toward the shop entrance. <\/p>\n

Setting her knitting aside, Serenity got up with a smile, \u201cWhat brings you here, Nana?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to have a chat with you. I stopped by your house, but Zack mentioned you weren\u2019t home, so I decided to come here instead,\u201d Grandma May replied, entering the shop and looking at Serenity with warmth. \u201cYou mentioned that you don\u2019t need to open for business on weekends.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a while since I restocked items for my online business,\u201d Serenity explained. \u201cI figured I could use some time this weekend to replenish my inventory since it\u2019s running low.\u201d <\/p>\n

With her handmade knit knacks selling well online, Serenity had to stay on top of her stock. Many customers pre-ordered, and she was committed to delivering on time. \u201cHonoring commitments is crucial in business,\u201d she thought. \u201cYou really have a talent for this, Seren,\u201d Grandma May praised her, recognizing her skill.<\/p>\n
