Liberty laughed. “Since you’re my first customer, your meal will be on the house. What would you like to eat, Mr.
Lewis?”
Duncan said, “No, I’ll pay. It’s your opening day, so you have to earn money. You need to collect money no matter
who comes to eat.”
Zachary echoed, “Paying for breakfast is pocket change for Duncan. Don’t even think of giving him a discount and
only charge him the price as per your menu.”
“In that case, thank you for your support.”
In his heart, Zachary thought, ‘What’s there to thank? In the future, Duncan might sink his teeth into you and never
let you go.’
Soon after Duncan entered, there was a stream of customers coming into the store for breakfast.
Liberty started getting busy.
A new store opening was most likely to attract people to come in and try their food.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiberty’s store had been remodeling for a period of time. The people working in nearby buildings passing by every
day were already long aware of All You Can Eat.
They felt that the name of the store was simple and sounded down-to-earth.
When they saw that it was open for business, they came in to try the new owner’s skills.
At the age of fifteen, Liberty started raising her younger sister. Her cooking skills were honed for decades.
Those who came in to eat felt that the food of this diner was remarkably satisfying.
After the morning rush hour, Liberty finally had time to catch her breath.
Although it was tiring, she was absolutely happy.
Of course, if her ex-husband did not come in with his mother, Liberty’s smile would have remained until nighttime.
Hank came with a flower stand. When he saw that the only people in the store were Zachary, Serenity, and the
middle-aged woman who often helped Liberty, he frowned. He proceeded to comment something unpleasant,
“Why are there no customers?”
Olivia looked at the flower stands at the entrance. They were from Zachary and Serenity, Jasmine, Elisa and her
family, as well as from Duncan.
Her expression soured when she saw Duncan’s flower stands.
He sent over several stands, but her son only brought one. Olivia immediately compared her son to Duncan.
When she looked up and saw that her son had entered the store, she quickly followed.
She came in just in time to hear her son’s unpleasant words and slapped his arm. “Hank, shut your mouth if you
don’t know what to say.”
Then, she raised a bag containing a bottle of champagne she brought and handed it to Liberty with a smile.
“Congratulations on your opening day, Liberty. I hope business is booming for you.”
Liberty took the congratulatory card from the bag, thanked her, and returned the bag with the champagne to
Olivia.
“Liberty, this is a little token from me. Just accept it.”
“I’ve accepted your thoughts.”
Liberty insisted on not accepting Olivia’s champagne.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia had no choice but to take back the bag. Then, she greeted Serenity and Zachary with a smile. “Serenity, I
haven’t seen you for a while but you’re getting prettier by the day. Your temperament has also improved. I knew
you were a blessed person.”
Serenity gave a dry laugh. She did not want to be bothered with Olivia.
In the past, Olivia and Chelsea often muttered about her behind her back.
“Mr. York.”
Olivia acted obsequiously toward Zachary, wanting to please him.
Zachary’s expression was deadpan as he remained silent. Olivia was so embarrassed that she did not dare say
anything else.
Serenity’s husband was taciturn yet terrifying!
Hank finally realized what he said was displeasing. He handed the flower stand to Liberty and said, “I ordered these
for you a few days in advance to congratulate you on the opening of your new store.”
Liberty glanced at the long rows of flower stands at the entrance of the store and said faintly, “Thank you, Mr.
Brown, but it seems there’s no room for your flower stand at the entrance of the store.”
