Chapter 713<\/div>\n
\u201cMy company\u2019s annual dinner is coming up in a few days. I\u2019ll get you an invitation, and you\u2019ll need a gown for the event. I can pick you up, or you can drive yourself.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWhy would I attend your company\u2019s annual dinner? I\u2019m not an employee.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity wasn\u2019t particularly enthusiastic about social events.<\/div>\n
The only reason she would consider going was for the food.<\/div>\n
However, as Jasmine pointed out, if Serenity attended as Zachary\u2019s plus-one, she would have to moderate her eating.<\/div>\n
Serenity would much prefer exploring new restaurants with Jasmine.<\/div>\n
\u201cWe can bring a family member to the annual dinner. Others will bring theirs, so why shouldn\u2019t I?\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity was left speechless as she looked at Zachary.<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be helping out a bit during the dinner. If you want me to pick you up, it might be a little later. I\u2019ll come straight after I\u2019m finished.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cAlright, just let me know on the day. I\u2019ll head over myself, so you don\u2019t have to rush back. You can come out to meet me when I arrive at your office; I can\u2019t walk into the event looking like a deer in headlights.\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary felt relieved and replied, \u201cOf course. Ms. Stone will likely be there too. Mr. Bucham doesn\u2019t have a girlfriend, but he\u2019s interested in Ms. Sox, so he might invite her as his plus-one.\u201d<\/div>\n
In previous years, Zachary would typically give a speech at the company\u2019s annual dinner and leave soon after.<\/div>\n
Employees couldn\u2019t relax and enjoy themselves while he was present.<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, Josh, the life of the party, would socialize with everyone until the event concluded.<\/div>\n
Many female employees would try to partner with Josh for the annual dinner, hoping he would notice their charm and fall for them.<\/div>\n
Although Josh was friendlier, more talkative, and easier to connect with compared to\u2026<\/div>\n

Zachary did not appreciate being pursued by a group of eager female employees. To counter this, Josh decided to invite a young woman from his family as his plus-one for the company\u2019s annual dinner, hoping to deter the enthusiastic attention from the female staff. With Jasmine now in the picture, it was likely that Josh would ask her to accompany him. Serenity thought about sharing her opinion that Jasmine might decline Josh\u2019s invitation but chose to hold her tongue. After all, she was not Jasmine and could not make that decision for her.<\/p>\n

After breakfast, Zachary drove Serenity back to Brynfield before heading to work. Once home, Serenity asked Mrs. Lane to get ready because they were going to visit Liberty. Unfortunately, Liberty was not there; she had gone to the shop early in the morning. Serenity then drove to her sister\u2019s shop. Renovations had not yet begun, as most workers were off for the holidays. Liberty had purchased the necessary materials, so there was no immediate reason for her to be at the shop. However, she couldn\u2019t remain idle and needed to keep herself busy, as time passed more quickly when she was engaged in activities.<\/p>\n

At the shop, Liberty occupied herself at the table while Sonny dashed around. A heavy glass door had been installed at the entrance, making it difficult for Sonny to push it open, which allowed him to play safely inside. \u201cMom! Mom!\u201d he called out. Happy and absorbed in his play, Sonny dropped his toy in alarm when he spotted Duncan approaching. He quickly turned and ran to Liberty, clearly frightened. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are you so afraid of me, Sonny?\u201d Duncan asked, holding a pinwheel he had brought as a gift for him. It felt awkward for Duncan to frighten the little boy to the point of tears.<\/p>\n

Is that scar on his face frightening? <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat brings you here, Mr. Lewis?\u201d Liberty asked with a smile while picking up Sonny. <\/p>\n

\u201cI pass by this place every day. I always see your shop open, so I thought I would come in for a look.\u201d<\/p>\n
