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.
Perhaps it would not be long before Serenity and Zachary turn into a real couple and live happily ever after.
Snapping out of her thoughts, Serenity thanked the hotel manager and saw him off at the door. She watched as the manager got into the car and drove away before heading into the shop.
As there were two lunch sets, the other share was without a doubt for Jasmine.
By the time Serenity got back in, Jasmine had washed her hands and was seated behind the cash register. With her best friend approaching, she said with a smile, “Come on and eat. The Wiltspoon Hotel is a seven-star hotel. We tried their food at the dinner party the last time. I couldn’t stop thinking about the delicious food after I got home.
“Thanks to you, I finally get to relive the taste.”
Jasmine shoved the cutlery into Serenity’s hands while complimenting Zachary with glee, “I can’t believe Mr. York can be so thoughtful. He bought you lunch and had it delivered to you. He must feel bad that you’ve been having takeout for lunch.
“Serenity, Mr. York has a lot of redeeming qualities. Although he has his guard up and signed a six-month contract with you, he might trash the agreement and become lifelong partners with you once you two spend some time together.
Think about it.”
Serenity burst out laughing . “You’ve already taken his side after he bought you lunch. I get along with him, but it doesn’t look like our relationship is going to advance from here.”
“I’m not someone who can be bought with a single meal. Besides, you’re my best friend. No matter what happens or the circumstances, I will always be on your side. Compared to your brother-in-law, would you dare say that Mr. York is not one of the good guys?”
The pair dug in and discussed the quality of men.
“My brother-in-law used to be so good to my sister. His attitude changed for the worst ever since Sonny was born.”
Human beings were fickle-minded.
Serenity and Zachary had only been married for a month, so they were not very familiar with each other yet. She still had a lot to learn about Zachary. They had not reached the stage to put themselves out there, showing their flaws and strengths to one another.
“I think Mr. York is not like your brother-in-law. Mr. York’s strict, aloof, and gentlemanlike. Once you bag that kind of man, you can forget ever leaving his side. He’ll spoil you to the moon and back for sure.”
Serenity grinned without a word.
Nevertheless, Serenity was happy that Zachary delivered her a bountiful and delicious lunch. Before digging in, she snapped a photo and posted it on Facebook with the caption: (Special delivery from the husband.) Considering that she and Zachary kept their marriage under wraps, Serenity did not make the post visible to friends who were in the dark about her marriage.
After lunch, Serenity saw off the last few students before calling Zachary.
Zachary happened to be at the Wiltspoon Hotel for a luncheon with a few clients, where he could discuss business over lunch.
With an incoming call from Serenity, Zachary excused himself apologetically to the few CEOs, “I need to take a call.”
“Be my guest, Mr. York.” The CEOs gladly gestured for Zachary to go ahead.
Having closed a deal with York Corporation, the CEOs were in the best of moods. They enjoyed a few bites and chatted while Zachary got up to take the call elsewhere. One of the CEOs asked Josh, who was also there, “Mr. York’s outfit today doesn’t seem to be his usual attire.”
Those with keen eyes picked up on Zachary’s change in his clothing label Josh replied with a smile, “Good catch, Mr. Williams. It’s indeed different. Um… A girl, who he’s a little interested in, gave him the suit.”
