Serenity and Zachary York



That was why Imogen had not contacted Dylan.

When she talked to Serenity yesterday, they had gotten along, so she saw no other option than to come to Serenity's office.

"I don't usually drink coffee at noon."

The two walked out of the office together.

Imogen glanced at Serenity's stomach and said, "It's best not to drink coffee or heavily caffeinated teas for now. You're pregnant and have to avoid caffeine."

Serenity laughed. "I know. I haven't had coffee, tea, or alcohol in a long time now."

That was precisely why Imogen had to make her own coffee.

"Is Ms. Stone not coming in today?" Imogen asked casually because Elisa had not come over to say hi.

"She's gone to the market today and will only be back in the evening." Both Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they thought they could still win a fight against a bull in their current state, Elisa saw them as museum artifacts that had to be carefully taken care of and would not allow them to go to the market themselves.

"Oh," Imogen acknowledged.

Once Serenity and Imogen got to the cafeteria, they collected their food and found a secluded spot to sit.

When Imogen saw that fish, meat, and prawns were included in her set, she asked, “Are all the set meals here the same? Do you not have different classes?"

"They're all the same. We don't have different grades of set meals."

Those who worked here were pretty much just the management, so there was no need to differentiate grades. There was no way the farm workers would come here to eat because it was too far away.noveldrama

However, she did provide three meals a day for the farm workers, which were not bad too. She also required meat to be included in their meals because they would get hungry very fast without it, considering how hard they had to work.

Serenity came from a farming town herself. Although she and her sister left when she was ten, she helped out quite a lot on the family farm before that and knew working in the fields was tiring and laborious.

Serenity glanced at Imogen and asked, "Does your company have different grades?"

Imogen hummed in confirmation. "We have a few cafes of different grades. The food is different at each, but the lowest grade is still better than some fast food places."

"Nothing at our company cafe is pre-made. It's not allowed."

"Ours, too. It's best if the ingredients are bought and eaten on the same day."

"How did your chat with Dylan last night go, Imogen?" Serenity asked. Last night, Imogen had been too drunk for Serenity to ask. Now that she was here, Serenity could not resist asking.

Imogen kept silent and continued eating.

Serenity asked in concern, "Did it not go well?"

"I guess. If it did, I wouldn't have gotten drunk last night. The whiskey was really good but really strong. I thought I could keep going when I tried it, but I didn't expect to get drunk so fast." Imogen felt downcast at the mention of Dylan. Here was a man who she was quite interested in and suited her in all material aspects, but his heart was not hers.

This made Imogen feel defeated. She was not afraid of Serenity scoffing at her, but she had to say that she was quite a proud person. She would never feel interested in just any ordinary man and had thought the man she liked would definitely like her back too.

"What did he say? Did he say he wasn't interested in you like that and purely saw you as a friend?"

"He said he wasn't romantically interested in me and had only pursued me and was nice to me because he was trying to develop some feelings, but it failed. He also told me I was his grandmother's choice of bride for him," Imogen admitted.
