She took the bicycle that Serena just made and praised her. “Seren, I have to say that you’re ingenious! You can make a model of anything!”
“I learned it before. What do you like? I’ll make one for you when I’m free.”
“You’d better not. I’m afraid Zack will stare at me with those cold eyes when he finds out. If I like something, I can just buy it in your store. It’ll contribute to your revenue.”
After that, she put down the craft bicycle.
When Elisa came, Serena stopped making the handicrafts and put away all the tools.
Then, she poured a cup of warm water for Elisa, washed some fruit, and brought them out.
“Seren, I want to discuss something with you,” Elisa said while eating the fruit.
“What’s up?”
“The vegetable farm we invested in is getting on the right track. I think we should set up a company. We should have our own offices and hire a few experienced farm supervisors to operate all the farms.
“We also need to hire a few professional managers to help us negotiate some business deals. We’ll manage the big business by ourselves and leave the small business to the professional managers.”
Serena thought about it for a while and said, “That’s a good suggestion. We need to set up an office in my hometown. After all, our vegetable farms are all there. If it’s too far, it’ll be difficult for the staff to manage them.”
“Okay I’ll leave it to you to hire the farm supervisors. I’m completely inexperienced in farming. I’ve already asked a recruitment firm to hire a few professional managers.”
Serena had no objections.
She said, “The tearn leads we have now are doing a good job. Let’s see their performance first. If they can hold a bigger responsibility, we can promote them to supervisors.
“Also, have you considered expanding further? My hometown manages a lot of small towns. We have only taken up the fields of a few towns to grow vegetables. If we want to expand our business, we can visit a few more towns and get more land”
Since they wanted to set up an agricultural company, the vegetable farms they had now were not big enough
Elise smiled and said, “Great minds think alike!”
The two ladies made a small profit
They had many partners, and the vegetables on the farm were planted in batches so that they could be shipped every day without worrying about sales.
Elisa had always lived a good life without worrying about having enough to eat, but she had never earned a penny. Now that she could make money by herself, she felt energized.
“Let’s go back to my hometown next week and rent a space for our office there.”
“I saw a lot of empty plots of land in your hometown. Let’s see if we can buy a plot of land and build a place by ourselves. Although the capital is high, it’ll be worth it in the long run. If we rent a space, the rental will keep increasing, and we’ll spend the same amount overall.”
Elisa had a lot of money, so she did not want to rent an office space.
Serena said, “It takes time to buy land and build a house. Let’s rent an office space first. Then we can buy a plot of land and build one when we find one to our liking.”
“Sure.”
Elisa then asked, “We should inform Jasmine about this too. Do you want to send her a message, or should I?”
Before Serena could answer, Elisa laughed and said, “You should tell her. You and Jasmine have been friends for more than ten years. Even if you interrupt her honeymoon with Josh, Josh wouldn’t dare do anything to you.”
Serena also laughed. “Okay. I’ll call and talk to her tonight.”
“I see Jasmine’s posts every day and feel so envious,” Elisa said.
“I’m also envious. Zack said that he’ll also take me somewhere for our honeymoon after our wedding.”
“I’m so tired of feeling envious. I get stabbed every day being friends with you and Jasmine.”
Serena laughed. “You’re not that far from happiness. Remy sends you flowers every day. He even sent you a love letter. My husband didn’t even leave me a note, let alone a love letter.”
At the mention of Remy, Elisa’s smile deepened a little. However, she thought about something and became dispirited again.
“My family doesn’t agree with me dating Remy. Seren, I don’t want to hide in front of you. I do have feelings for Remy. We get along very well, and being with him makes me happier than ever.
“But whenever my mother sees Remy, she looks so displeased. It’s obvious that she dislikes him. Only Remy would still keep a good attitude whereas other men might not dare approach me anymore.”
Elisa sighed. “Because of my family’s attitude, I’m confused and don’t know whether to reciprocate Remy’s feelings.”
Serena looked at her and said, “Aunt Audrey only disagrees because Remy’s hometown is too far away. She likes Remy as a person. She also likes the Johnsons.”
“I know it’s far away, but Remy has been working in Wiltspoon for a long time. If I’m with him, I’ll stay in Wiltspoon more often. My mother said that she’ll only agree to us being together if Remy marries into my family and becomes a permanent resident in Wiltspoon.
“Remy is willing, but I don’t want him to marry into my family. I already have two older brothers. If Remy marnes into my family, we’ll be criticized.”
Elisa had feelings for Remy. If he considered what was best for her, she had to think for him too.
She did not want him to sacrifice so much for her.
“Oh, well. We’ll just take our time. My mother will agree to it one day. If she doesn’t, Remy and I will just continue to date forever and not get married. That way, she’ll start to panic.”
Serena comforted her “Aunt Audrey will agree. After all, Remy’s a good man, and he’s a good match for you Many ladies want to marry the sons of the Johnson family in Annenburg ”
“I know That’s why I cherish him, and I don’t want to give up easily.”
Back when Elisa used to like Zack, no one supported her, and she persisted for several years.
Now, she and Remy liked each other. It was rare for people like them to have a similar background and love each other. Elisa would also not give up because of her family’s objections.
She had to fight for her own happiness.
“All the best! I’m waiting for your wedding invitation!”
“Mine won’t be so soon, but yours is!”
is!” 1
Serena laughed.
Her wedding was coming soon.
“Are you free later? Let’s have lunch together.”
“Remy didn’t ask you out for lunch?” Serena jokingly asked.
Elisa smiled and said, “Remy’s very busy today. Besides sending me flowers and love letters, he only sends me a few messages every day.
“His sister–in–law is about to give birth, so he said that he’ll have to finish his work as soon as possible. and return to Annenburg.”
Serena said, “Jane is pregnant with twins. Most twins are born prematurely. She told me that she expects to give birth in June. Now it’s mid–May, so it’s about time.”
At the mention of pregnancy, Elisa wanted to ask Serena if she had any news, but Elisa gave up when the words came to her lips.
Serena was too busy with work now and her attention was diverted, so she did not have time to worry about pregnancy.
If Elisa mentioned it, Serena would feel sad again
“I’ll pick Zack up from work later, so I can’t accompany you for lunch”
Elisa understood and said, “Oh, okay. Should I also go to Remy’s office to pick him up? Seren, what do you think his expression will be like when he sees me?”
“He’ll be ecstatic!”
The two of them had not officiated their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend If Elisa took the initiative. to look for Remy, it would be seen as a response, and he would certainly be ecstatic
Not long after, Elisa left Serena’s bookstore.
Serena did not meet Zack at noon because she felt that his lunch hour was too short.
She did not close the store until late in the evening and went to Spring Blossoms first.
Camryn and Callum did not make much progress either.
Callum was pursuing Camryn, but Camryn still rejected his feelings.
Callum told Zack privately that it was very difficult to chase after his wife.
He envied Zack and Serena for getting their marriage license upon their first meeting, so Zack did not have to chase after Serena.
Zack felt like laughing.
He had conflicts with Serena before they got to where they were today.
His younger brothers witnessed how he went crazy for Serena.
Even though Callum had not won over Camryn yet, he at least made some moves. Kevin and Hayden had zero progress.
Grandma May was not in a hurry. Regardless, she only gave them a one–year deadline.
It was Kevin’s business as to how he wanted to meet the deadline.
“Serena, you’re here.”
