Chapter 328
In the wee hours of the morning, when Serenity was asleep in bed, the door between the two rooms slowly opened, and a tall figure crept in.The figure's normally cold eyes now looked at the woman on the bed with a lot of affection."Good night, Sis." A deep, elegant voice came out of his mouth. It was filled with fondness, but also desire.The next day at noon, Serenity received a large order at work. The customer ordered more than 30 sets of takeouts.Usually, she would only deliver 7-8 sets at a time. 30 sets was about as much as what their small restaurant would normally deliver every day at lunchtime in total.Clara prepared the takeouts in a hurry. She told Serenity, "I'll have to trouble you to deliver them.""But what about the other orders?" asked Serenity. If she delivered this order, she would not be able to deliver the other smaller orders."Don't worry, I'll take care of them. I'll ask my mom to put Yanny to bed and stand in for me for a bit. The restaurant has anot

After Serenity pushed the trolley into the building, a receptionist greeted her. The receptionist only asked Serenity for her name and did not even ask her to register. She even took the initiative to help Serenity press the elevator button.All this caused Serenity to gradually come to a certain conclusion. When she arrived at the specified address, a tall woman in professional-looking attire came over and said, "Miss Lewis? I'm the one who ordered the food. You can put it down here. Please take these two sets to the CEO's office."Serenity's heart sank. Her questions had been answered.The CEO's office... Jackson was the CEO of Valor Group, so did that mean she was gonna take the two sets of takeout to Jackson's office?Serenity picked up the takeouts and went to the CEO’s office. In front of the dark wooden door, she took a deep breath before knocking on the door twice."Come in." A voice came from the inside.Serenity opened the door and walked in. She saw Jackson sitting at

Serenity took the lunch box and ate it quickly with her head down. Right now, all she wanted was to finish the food and leave as soon as possible."You're eating so fast. Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Jackson's voice reverberated in the office.*Cough cough*Serenity choked on her food. She had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from spitting out the food in her mouth. Her face turned red.After a while, she finally stopped coughing. A few grains of rice got on her palm, so she reached for a piece of tissue to wipe it.But before she could do that, Jackson grabbed her hand and pulled it over.She twisted her wrist uncomfortably but failed to break free. "My hand's dirty. I need to wipe it," she said."Dirty?" He chuckled. "I don't think it's dirty at all." He lowered his head and pressed his lips to her palm, licking away the grains on her palm one by one.Serenity's body turned stiff."Done." He sounded like he hadn't had enough yet.Serenity came back to her senses

Clara asked, "What's wrong? You ate so little. Is today's food not to your liking?" The restaurant would usually ask the chefs to cook something for the restaurant staff during off-peak hours and they would have lunch together."Oh, that's not it. I probably ate too much before I came to work this morning so I'm not that hungry." Serenity looked at Yanny and said, "Don't mind me. I'll feed Yanny some fruit."Serenity grabbed an apple, peeled it, and cut it into small pieces to feed Yanny.Yanny obediently opened his mouth and ate the apple one piece at a time. He occasionally gave Serenity a smile.After eating the apple, he felt sleepy and yawned. He spread his hands, asking for a hug.Serenity picked him up and gently lulled him to sleep.Although he could not actually hear her soft hum, he gently touched her lips with his tender fingers, as if he was trying hard to sense her voice.After a while, he fell asleep. Looking at the sleeping baby, Serenity's nose tingled. He was su

"By the way, you haven't been here for a long time, so everyone in the office misses you. Good thing you became a delivery woman. We can see you whenever we want now," said Liliana as she led Serenity into the law firm, "Since you're here, don't tell me you won't come in to say hi to your old co-workers."Serenity looked at Liliana flatly. Of course she knew what Liliana was playing at.In that case, she would face the challenge directly. If she tried to avoid it, she would look pathetic."Sure, I'll go in and say hi," Serenity said nonchalantly.Her attitude surprised Liliana. It was not what she wanted to see.Once inside, Liliana clapped a few times to attract everyone's attention and said, "Everybody, look over here. Our old co-worker, Serenity, is back."Many people in the office looked over upon hearing that.Serenity looked around and saw that some of them were old colleagues that she knew and some of them were new."Lily, is she someone who used to work here? Where is s

The one who provided the answer was naturally Liliana. Liliana deliberately raised her voice and told the story of how Serenity went to jail for drunk driving and killing someone...Serenity shrugged. Liliana must be trying to humiliate Serenity because Serenity used to be better than Liliana in everything back when Serenity was a lawyer. As expected, you can only see the true nature of people around you when you're down on your luck.When Serenity reached the elevator, she heard a sudden rush of footsteps behind her. A voice called out to her, "Serenity, wait!"Serenity turned around and saw a man running over. He stopped in front of her and stared at her with complicated eyes.He was a man in his 30s with medium build and a decent-looking face. He was in a suit and was dressed the way an elite white collar worker in the city would normally dress."Can I help you?" Serenity asked her former co-worker, James Holt. He used to be her partner in the firm. There were rumors that he

In the past, when the staff at the law firm went out for dinner, she would take the trouble to remind her drunken colleagues not to drive and to get a substitute driver.How could such a person possibly drive under influence?He believed she must have been wrongly accused. Yet, he did not have the courage to help her prove her innocence even though he was a lawyer!He was afraid that the water in her case would run too deep. He was afraid of going up against Jackson Valor.In Solaria, no one dared to offend Jackson Valor!Serenity could only blame her luck!Over the next few days, Jackson's secretary would place a large order every day at noon. As usual, Serenity was responsible for delivering the order.And then... Jackson would make her stay for lunch.Serenity had already told Jackson several times that she hoped he would stop doing that.But every time, he would just raise his eyebrows and ask with a smile, "Do you hate having lunch with me? I just want to have lunch with

But seeing how happy Clara was, Serenity could only sigh and put the takeouts on the electric scooter.She could only tell herself that, with more takeouts sold, Clara would be able to earn more and would be able to give Yanny a cochlear implant sooner.Serenity's heart ached for Yanny. It was so unfortunate that a lovely child would have such a disability. Moreover, Serenity had never seen his father being around.Yanny's family name was Wells like Clara, so Serenity could tell that Clara must be a single mother.Being a single mother was not easy.Serenity rode the electric scooter to the Valor Group. The security guards there were already very familiar with Serenity. The moment Serenity arrived, they immediately helped her move all the food onto the trolley and even helped her push the trolley into the building all the way to the elevator. They were even thoughtful enough to help her press the elevator button.The receptionist also greeted Serenity with a smile. She even bowed
