Serena understood that it would take a while for Elisa to let go of her feelings for Mr. York. Elisa had not pestered Mr. York for a long time. She was probably here now. because she wanted to secretly take a look at Mr. York.
It must be painful for Elisa to fall in love with someone who did not love her back.”
“I’ve had the milk tea here a few times before, and I think the milk tea and desserts in this store are quite nice, so I came here to try them again. But now, I just find therm average.”
Elisa said it very naturally as if she actually came here just to drink milk tea.
She had indeed tried the milk tea from the same shop before and thought it was delicious. Maybe because back then, it was worth the wait.
Now, she found it mediocre because she no longer had someone to wait for.
“Are you here to wait for your husband to get off work? Since he’s back from his business trip, when will you bring him to my house?”
“Probably after New Year. He’s very busy now and can’t spare any time to visit.”
Elisa nodded in understanding. She said, “Would you like to go in and have a cup of milk tea?”
“No, I won’t be able to eat lunch later if I drink milk tea now, then Liberty will start nagging me for wasting food.”
Elisa smiled and said, “Is Liberty doing well right now? My mother wants to help you. both, but you two refused, so she has no choice but to watch silently.”
The Hunt sisters were poor and ambitious.
“My sister and I are still young and capable enough to earn a living by our own. means. Aunt Audrey doesn’t have to worry about us. She should worry about you and Anthony’s marriage instead.”
Elisa smiled. “My second brother is really sly. He doesn’t want to get married so soon, and none of us can do anything about him. As for me… Well, you know I can’t forget about him for a while…”
“Elisa, you deserve better.”
Elisa said confidently, “I think so too!”
The two ladies looked at each other and smiled.
Clive had asked Serena not to mention Zack’s last name in front of Elisa so as not to agitate her.
Seeing that Elisa still came to the milk tea shop opposite York Corporation, Serena finally understood Clive’s love for his sister.
Serena and Zack had a new breakthrough in their relationship and were in love with each other, so it was not appropriate to show their affection in front of Elisa at this moment, lest they trigger her.
At this time, York Corporation’s main door opened.
Both Serena and Elisa instinctively looked toward the entrance of York Corporation and saw a convoy driving out.
One of the car plate numbers seemed rather familiar to Elisa. She quickly recalled where she had seen that number before.
“Seren, you can wait for your husband to get off work. I have something to do now.”
Elisa handed Sonny back to Serena, turned around, and went into the store to pick up her car keys. When she came out again, she walked quickly toward her car and waved to Serena as she got into the car. “Bring your husband over for dinner someday!”
She then drove away in a hurry.
“Those cars earlier belonged to Mr. York, right?”
Serena heard that Mr. York would always bring a group of bodyguards with him whenever he went out. His exclusive car was also surrounded by his bodyguards‘ cars.
The cars that drove out of York Corporation just now befitted Mr. York’s practice.
On the contrary, that was not Zack’s convoy. It belonged to Remy Johnson, the fifth son of the Johnson family, who also brought a group of bodyguards with him wherever he went.
Remy was about to return to Annenburg. Before going back, he was tasked by his elder brother to go to York Corporation to invite Zack to attend his elder brother’s wedding.
That was why he showed up at York Corporation.
Then, Elisa saw Remy’s car.
Elisa did not know it was Remy. She just wanted to find out who else, besides
Zack, had such fanfare in Wiltspoon.
Elisa sped off. She was originally behind Remy’s convoy, but she stepped on the gas and quickly overtook him.
Unexpectedly, her car stopped moving in two minutes.
It was a flat tire, so she had to make an emergency pullover to check her tire.
How could her tire be leaking?
When Elisa got out of the car, Remy, who was behind her, recognized her.
Remy’s driver also recognized Elisa. That was because he gave way to Elisa last time, and the incident was memorable.
“Stop,” Remy ordered the driver to stop the car.
The driver hurriedly pulled over and stopped right next to Elisa’s car.
Remy instructed the driver, “Ask Ms. Stone what’s wrong.”
He guessed Elisa was here because of Zack.
Remy lived in Wiltspoon for a long time, so he was aware that Elisa was chasing after Zack. Since Zack announced to his circle of friends that he was married, Elisa stopped pestering Zack.
They met again today.
Remy thought, ‘Zack is so much like my elder brother. Even though they’re married, they’re still such chick magnets.”
The driver heeded Remy’s orders. He got out of the car, walked toward Elisa, and asked, “What’s wrong with your car?”
“It’s a flat tire. I think I drove over something sharp.”
Elisa squatted in front of the flat tire to examine it and found a sharp object stuck in the tire.
“Is it leaking profusely?”
“The tire is getting flatter by the second, so it’s definitely leaking.”
Elisa did not pull out the sharp object that was stuck in the tire. Instead, she stood up and took out her phone to call someone to help tow the car. After making a phone call, she walked to Remy’s car window and tapped on it.
Remy pulled the window curtain open.
When he saw that it was Elisa, he got out of the car.
Elisa was taken aback when she saw an unfamiliar face. It turned out that he was not someone in the elite circle that she was familiar with.
No wonder she could not recognize whose car it was.
“Ms. Stone, is there anything I can do for you?” Remy asked Elisa gently.
“Thanks. My tire is punctured. I already called someone to come and tow the car.
“May I ask what’s your name? I don’t think I’ve seen you around before.”
Remy smiled and replied, “My last name is Johnson. I’m from Annenburg, but I work in Wiltspoon. I’m usually very busy with work and rarely participate in social activities, so it’s expected that you haven’t seen me before.”
After a pause, he added, “But I see you around quite often, Ms. Stone.”
Elisa thought, ‘The Johnsons from Annenburg?‘
Elisa asked him, “Mr. Johnson, do you work for FC & Co. in Annenburg? What’s your ranking in the Johnson family?
“FC & Co. is my family’s business, and I’m the fifth brother.”
