“Serenity, did you make these? They’re beautiful.” Elisa complimented Serenity’s handicraft.
Picking up a newly made maneki – neko for a closer look, Elisa praised, “Wow, it’s so pretty.” “I can give you a few if you like, Ms.
Stone. They’re not worth much though.”
“I love them. I love them a lot.”
Elisa nodded her head incessantly. “Thank you.”
She then asked, “Do you sell these, Serenity?”
“Yes, I do. I have an online business, selling these knick knacks. Sales have been pretty good, and this month has been the best month yet.”
Elisa replied with a smile, “Send me the link to your online business later. I’ll share it on Facebook to drum up your business.
They’re really beautiful.”
Having learned of Serenity’s business, Elisa was more than happy to advertise Serenity’s products. If a woman of her standards found Serenity’s crafts appealing, others were bound to love her creations too. Those who might not share the same aesthetics would also help with Serenity’s business since Elisa spoke for the products.
Elisa’s presence carried weight among the upper crust in Wiltspoon after all.
“Thank you, Ms. Stone. I appreciate it.”
Serenity offered Elisa a seat while she poured Elisa a glass of water.
After a brief exchange, Serenity inquired, “Why the sudden visit? Do you need help with anything?’
Of course, Serenity did not think there was anything she could help Elisa with since the latter was the heiress of Stone Group It was hard for Serenity to imagine that just a few days ago, her best friend was talking to her about the scandal between the heir of the Yorks and Elisa. Several days later, Elisa came looking for her. It was as if they had been friends for years.
Fate brought them together. Serenity was in disbelief of her good luck.
It was an unlikely occurrence to befriend a true heiress like Elisa, and even Jasmine whose family owned tens of millions in assets. Yet, Serenity, an ordinary citizen, crossed paths with them.
Serenity decided to get two lottery tickets on her way home tonight. She might hit the jackpot and win millions.
Elisa answered with a grin, “There’s always a reason to visit, right? Yes, I need your help with something.”
Serenity looked at Elisa, waiting for her to speak.
The way Serenity saw it, Elisa had everything going – she had the looks, the bearings, the figure, and social status. Serenity bet Elisa would look cute together with the heir of the Yorks. However, Serenity had never met the heir, so she had no idea what he looked like.
The heir of the Yorks was laughty and aloof. He must be a hunk for Elisa to go crazy over him.
Serenity wondered to herself, ‘Who’s the better looking between the heir of the Yorks and my man?’
The Yorks were one big family some centuries ago.
“Serenity, we made the trending news on Twitter, so you know what was up with me, and I know what went on in your life. I’ll cut to the chase. Don’t laugh at me. I came to talk to you about Mr. York. You know that I like him a lot. I’ve had a crush on him for many years. I’ve thought about giving up, but I can’t just put my feelings aside. I might as well profess my feelings to him and try to win his heart.
“We’re both single and available anyway. I’m not committing a fault, a crime, or something immoral to chase after him, but no one supports me. My sister-in law started off on my side, but she switched sides after my brother told her oil,
“We have only met, but we clicked immediately. I think of you as my friend, so I came to pour my heart out to you. Am I wrong to love somebody? What’s wrong with pursuing him?” Elisa was in distress.
Not only was Elisa’s family against her courting Zachary, but her best friends also persuaded her to let it go, saying that it was not an easy pursuit with Zachary. Besides, her family and the Yorks were rivals in business.
Only Serenity encouraged her to go for it.
Elisa clung to Serenity, deeming the latter to be her confidante.
“I wouldn’t go after Mr. York despite his brilliance if he had a wife or girlfriend. I’m a good catch, so I don’t need to steal someone else’s man. The fact is that he’s single. Now that I’ve found the one, I must put it into action and try. Even if nothing comes out of it, I won’t regret trying.”
Elisa let it all out of her chest.
Serenity had caught wind about Elisa’s haughtiness, but she had the means to be lofty, spoiled, and willful after all. All Serenity saw in Elisa was an ordinary lovesick girl.
It appeared to Serenity that Elisa was in a positive frame of mind, Elisa had a non distorted outlook on life.
Serenity had overheard some gossip about Mr. York when she accompanied her best friend to the dinner party the other night Serenity knew that the man had been single.
The heir of the Yorks always had bodyguards around him to stop any young women from getting close.
He never gave any young women a chance. Nevertheless, Elisa was bold to profess her feelings publicly and became the talk of the town together with Mr. York.
“You aren’t wrong, Ms. Stone. Everybody has the right to go after true love. As you said, Mr. York is single without a girlfriend in sight. You’re single without a boyfriend too. It’s not illegal or against morality and ethics for you to woo him. It’s normal for you to act this way.”
Elisa bobbed her head.
“Serenity, you’re the first person ever to give me the green light to woo Mr. York.” Serenity smiled, realizing, at last, the reason Elisa came to look for her.
Elísa wanted to confide in the one person who took her side and stood behind her when she could not get the support of her friends and family.
