Chapter 362


    Chapter 362


    “I’ll always listen to you. So, will you like me?” Jackson said. Despite that, Serenity felt a slight


    hesitation in her heart.


    ‘If only… If he was not Jackson Valor, maybe. Serenity thought she would have liked him better if he


    was just Jack


    However, he was the man himself—Jackson Valor had been a nightmare to Serenity during herst


    three years in prison, the man she feared from the bottom of her heart!


    —


    Serenity could not figure out her rtionship with Jackson anymore. She was supposed to fear him, be


    afraid of him, but sometimes, she could not resist caring about him.


    Serenity felt torn and confused when he said such heart–stopping words and looked at her so


    earnestly. Was he treating her like a game? Or was he actually serious? What about her? Was she


    attracted to him too?


    Serenity could only take one step at a time while doing things. She felt as though she was trapped in a


    swamp. She wanted to leave but found herself sinking deeper into the abyss.


    Serenity finished another round of deliveries and returned to the restaurant. However, she was stunned


    to see an unexpected guest waiting in the restaurant. A man was sitting in the restaurant, someone


    whom she would never expect to see here-


    Lucas Gomez.


    Lucas wore a full–business suit, his handsome face showing an elegantly aloof look. A man like him


    could be hanging around in a luxurious banquet, a small and chic restaurant, or in the cozy balcony of


    the presidential suite, but definitely not in a small and cheap restaurant like this.


    Serenity did not see re around. Mrs. Wells was stationed at the cashier instead.


    Lucas obviously spotted Serenity’s arrival. He then rose to his feet and walked toward her. “I didn’t


    think you really worked here.”


    “How did you know? Serenity asked, puzzled.


    “I saw you riding an electric bike on the road yesterday. The delivery box on the back of your bike had


    the words Hot Restaurant on it. I happened to pass by here, so I came in,” Lucas exined, a trace of


    unnoticeable tenderness on his face.


    ‘Serenity, here are three more orders. Please go and deliver them,” Mrs. Wells called out to Serenity.


    “Okay.” Serenity went to the cashier and picked up the take–out that was already ready and packed on


    the counter.


    Mrs. Wells took the chance and asked Serenity in a soft whisper, “Your friend?”

    Serenity shook her head. “I just happen to know him.” She did not consider Lucas as a friend. After all,


    the prince of the entertainment industry, Lucas Gomez, was way out of her league.


    Serenity still found the whole situation a little odd. Even if Lucas had happened to see the restaurant’s


    name on her delivery box and passed by the restaurant, there was no need for him toe in for a


    meal.


    Could it be… Was he deliberately waiting for her? Serenity had this thought but immediately erased it


    when it popped into her


    mind.


    Just as Serenity was about to leave the store with the take–out, Lucas suddenly asked, “Are you going


    to deliver food?”


    “Yeah. I’m in charge of the delivery,” Serenity answered.


    “Did Jackson really let you do this kind of work?”


    “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with working like this,” Serenity sakl humbly, “I’m making money


    with my own hard work, and I’m happy with it.”


    As she said that, she walked to the electric bike parked outside the restaurant and put the take–out on


    the bike.
