Chapter 159
Zachary said all the right words to console Serenity even if he did not believe them himself.
Although he was in a high position , Zachary knew that the requirement had grown stricter when it came to talent acquisition. Liberty had been out of touch with society for three years, and even if she had experience, her skills would be rusty. It probably would not be easy for Liberty to find a job.
“Are you at work? Carry on with your work. I’ll hang up.”
“Sure.” Zachary waited for Serenity to disconnect the call.
After the conversation with her husband , Serenity gave her sister a call to plan for her future. Serenity only ended the call when it was time for Liberty to start cooking. With her phone almost out of battery, Serenity pulled out a charger for her phone.
As afternoon drew close, Zachary phoned the Wiltspoon Hotel’s manager to prepare two sets of lunch. He also ordered a few extra accompanying dishes to be delivered to Bookit, a bookshop near Wiltspoon High School,
The lunch was for Serenity. Considering that Jasmine was in the shop, and the girls were best friends, Zachary ordered for Jasmine too. It was also a good way to get into Ms. Sox’s good grace, so she could speak well of him in
front of Serenity.
Despite being taken aback by Zachary’s instruction, the manager dared not question it and did as he was told.
Serenity had just finished dealing with the afternoon madness when she received a special lunch delivery from her man.
The manager of Wiltspoon Hotel drove himself and hand delivered the lunch to the shop. When he arrived, there were students browsing for learning materials while Serenity was holding her phone to order food delivery.
Serenity and Jasmine watched in a daze as the manager entered the shop with a basket in hand.
“May I ask? Are you Ms. Serenity ?” The manager asked politely.
His gaze fell on Serenity. For some reason , his gut was telling him that the girl was Ms. Serenity.
“Yes, I am. And you are?” Serenity replied and asked the man to identify himself in return as she had never seen him before.
As he placed the basket on the cash register, the manager quickly tidied up the surrounding area before retrieving the packed dishes from the basket to display. The last to come out were two platters of sliced fruits. They were complimentary desserts from the hotel.
The manager had no idea who Ms. Serenity was, but all he needed to know was that she was someone Mr. York cared about. Otherwise, Mr. York would not put in the personal call to him. The complimentary fruit platters were the most expensive and best fruits the hotel had.
Serenity and Jasmine looked at the man all confused. Why was there a food delivery when they had not ordered any takeout? The food looked pretty sumptuous though, and it came with dessert. Most importantly , they could not tell where the delivery came from since the delivery person did not wear a uniform bearing any logos.
“Ms. Serenity, I’m the manager of Wiltspoon Hotel. I received a call from Mr. York not too long ago. He ordered two lunch sets to be delivered to you. Mr. York has made the payment, so please enjoy your meal. Please rate us five stars if you feel our food is to your liking.”
Oh, so Zachary ordered the takeout for them.
It was surprising to find the hotel manager hand delivered the lunch order.
Tilting her head, Jasmine looked at her best friend with a smile on her face and envy in her eyes.
It was rather thoughtful of Mr. York. He was becoming increasingly nicer to her best friend.
