    Besides, this boss of hers not only worked behind the cash register, but she also took on the role of a


    waitress and even cleaned the tables. There was simply no work in the restaurant that she would not


    do. When it got really busy in the restaurant, she would basically be left with no free time at all.


    Perhaps because her capabilities were limited, she devoted all her life to giving her child the best that


    she could afford.


    At around three in the afternoon, the restaurant received an order for pineapple buns and milk tea.


    When Serenity read the address of the customer, however, she seemed to be lost in her thoughts.


    “What’s wrong?” ra asked. “Is there a problem?”


    She had already prepared the food, but when she handed it over to Serenity, she noticed that the


    young woman was staring a the receipt nkly, seemingly in a daze.


    “Nothing,” replied Serenity as she took the food in her hands.


    The address happened to be thew firm where she used to work. If she was to deliver the food there,


    it was likely that she would bump into her former colleagues.


    Back then, she used to be the starwyer of the firm, but now, she was about to return there without


    any honor or respectability at all.


    Her heart was filled with bitterness, but she reminded herself that since she had chosen this profession,


    it would be impossible to avoid this kind of thing happening sooner orter. Besides, she still had a long


    life ahead of her, so she was bound to bump into people she used to know. Was she going to stay


    fearful of facing those people for the rest of her life just because she used to be in prison, just because


    she had fallen to rock bottom?


    When it all came down to it, all she had to do was get used to it and she would be fine!


    she


    She reminded herself of all these things as she ced the food into the scooter’s basket and headed


    toward the address. The closer she got to her old office, the more familiar the roads seemed to her.


    When she finally reached the office entrance, parked the scooter and looked up at the modern


    skyscraper.


    Back then, when she had first stepped into this building, she remembered how ambitious and


    determined she was. She even thought that once she had umted enough experience and


    became more independent, she might be able to set up her ownw firm one day!


    But now, all those thoughts had be wishful fantasies, as illusory as the shadow of the moon on the


    surface of theke.


    Serenity picked up the food and went into the familiar elevator before pressing the floor button. As she


    stood in front of the ss doors of her old office, she dialed the number of the customer who had


    ordered the food. Soon afterward, out walked a young woman who seemed to be fresh out of college.


    She was probably a new recruit of thew firm.


    “Thank you,” the young woman said as Serenity handed her the food.


    Just then, the receptionist of the office recognized Serenity and cried out, “Isn’t that Serenity? Are


    you…’


    The receptionist’s eyes turned to the food in her colleague’s hands and asked in surprise, “You’re doing


    the delivery?”


    “Yeals, Serenity replied.


    The young woman asked the receptionist, “Do you guys know each other?”


    “Of course we do! Serenity used to work here, and she was the star..


    The receptionist stopped abruptly mid-sentence. The look she gave Serenity turned from surprise to


    pity.


    Serenity smiled and turned on her heels to leave, but just as she was about to step into the elevator,


    she could hear the hum of conversation between the receptionist and the young woman. They were


    most likely talking about her.


    In any case, Serenity still had one thing to be thankful for. At least she had not bumped into too many


    of her old colleagues today, so things had not gotten too awkward.


    After a long day of working, Serenity finally got back to Valor Residence at around 10 pm. She was


    about to head straight int her room but then remembered what Jackson had said, so she gentlyContent rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    knocked on his door when she passed by his room.


    Since he wanted so much for her to say goodnight to him, she would just say it!


    Momentster, the door opened. Jackson stood there, his eyes peering down at her as he said, “You’re


    finally home, Sis.”


    “Um, yeah. Anyway… Good night!”


    She then turned around and prepared to head back to her room.
