Nevertheless, at least they could tell that something was different.
On the other hand, Serenity had no inkling for the entire day.
She even thought that he did not wear the clothes she gave him.
“I won’t send him clothes for now since he won’t accept them anyway. Besides, I don’t know what size he wears. All his clothes are tailored by senior designers.”
The clothing designer responsible for Zachary’s daily wear was particularly tight-lipped. Elisa had spent a lot of money trying to pry open his mouth, but she failed each time.
She had a crush on Zachary for many years, but she still did not know what size of clothes he wore. “Serenity, do you have any finished products now? I think your crafts are beautiful. I took home the maneki-neko you gave me, and my mom also said that it looked amazing. She even said that she’d buy from your online shop when she has the time and help your business. “If you have ready-made products now, sell me a few. I’ll take them to him as a gift.”
Serenity said, “These goods aren’t worth much. Are you sure you want to give him such trinkets?”
‘He’s the high and mighty Mr. York. The York family has assets worth hundreds of billions. Mr. York might not take a fancy to something even if it’s an exotic treasure, but Elisa wanted to give such little trinkets to him.’
“He doesn’t lack anything, so if I want to give him something, it has to be skillfully made. He’ll only accept it if it’s to his liking.”
Elisa did not think that there was anything wrong with giving handicrafts as gifts. She was very fond of the crafts Serenity made.
“Since you don’t mind, I have a few finished products here now. I can let you have two, but not too many. Some of them are due to be delivered to customers who pre-ordered them.”
After the previous experience, Serenity would not dare give the goods ordered by other customers to Elisa again. She was only willing to sell two items in her stock to Elisa.
“That’s fine. Could you take them out and let me see what they are.”
“It’s a pair of phoenixes, a male and a female.”
Serenity got up and walked to the big box where she stored her crafts to bring out a delicate and beautiful box. She placed the box in front of Elisa and said, “They’re inside.”
Elisa opened the box and retrieved two well-woven phoenixes from it, and complimented, “They’re so lifelike. Serenity, your hands are amazing. How much are these phoenixes? I’ll buy them.”
“We’re close, and you think of me as a friend, so I’ll just charge you the cost for the materials.”
Elisa placed the two phoenixes back into the box and said,” It’s precisely because we’re friends that I can’t take advantage of you. I’ll pay however much it’s worth. I can’t just pay you for the cost of the materials. I’ve seen the price of your goods on the online store. I don’t remember the exact number, but these two phoenixes seem to cost a few hundred.”
She took out her purse from her Hermès bag and withdrew a small stack of cash. Without even counting, she shoved the bank notes into Serenity’s hands and said, “Keep the change and don’t count the amount. Just take it. If Mr. York accepts my gift, I’ll help you market your products. I guarantee that your sales will increase by several fold.”
“In that case, I’ll thank you in advance.”
Since Elisa was so firm, Serenity did not refuse. She did not find change or count the money, and simply stuffed the small stack of bills into the cashier’s drawer.
“I’ll go and send him the gift now, Serenity. I’ll definitely give you a grand thank-you as my advisor when I successfully court Mr. York.”
Serenity grinned. “Go ahead. I’ll pray for your swift success. All the best!”
Elisa sent a car full of seafood to Serenity and left after buying two phoenixes at a heavy price. Her giving the phoenixes to Zachary would be equivalent to saying she wanted him as a partner.
“Hehe, what a meaningful gift.’
At that thought, Elisa grew even fonder of Serenity. She truly thought of Serenity as her love advisor. Old Mrs. York waited until Elisa left before coming out of the washroom.
Jasmine said, “Grandma May, Serenity and I were going to break down the door if you hadn’t come out now.”
Old Mrs. York was old, so they were afraid she might have fallen inside the washroom. Sometimes, the elderly would fall in the washroom while no one was home, so no one would know about it. It would be too late by the time they were discovered.
Old Mrs. York smiled and brushed the topic aside. “Nana, are you okay?” Serenity asked with concern She thought Old Mrs. York was constipated.
“I’m fine. I just got carried away while watching a video and spent too much time inside.” Serenity and Jasmine were speechless. “Who came just now? I think I heard you guys talking,” Old Mrs. York asked with a curious expression.
“She’s a new friend I made. She went to the beach for a vacation and sent me a lot of seafood now that she’s back. Nana, stay here for lunch. We’ll cook a seafood feast for you.” Elisa sent them an excessive amount of seafood.
Serenity wanted to ask Old Mrs. York to bring some back with her so her in-laws could have a taste as well.
Although she and Zachary were not living together, and she had never been to his old home, Serenity felt she had to offer good food to her in-laws so they remembered her presence. “Sure. I’d stay even if you didn’t ask me. I often eat alone at home, so even the most delicious food doesn’t taste as good. You can make more. I’ll call Zachary and ask him to come over for lunch.”
Serenity opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she merely hummed.
I have a feeling that Serenity’s mom and Elisa ‘s mom are sisters. It’s getting more interesting. Can’t wait for more chapters.
i guess so too!
