Liberty laughed. “Since you’re my first customer, your meal will be on the house. What would you like to eat, Mr. Lewis?”
Duncan said, “No, I’ll pay. It’s your opening day, so you have to earn money. You need to collect money no matter who comes to eat.”
Zachary echoed, “Paying for breakfast is pocket change for Duncan. Don’t even think of giving him a discount and only charge him the price as per your menu.”
“In that case, thank you for your support.”
In his heart, Zachary thought, ‘What’s there to thank? In the future, Duncan might sink his teeth into you and never let you go.’
Soon after Duncan entered, there was a stream of customers coming into the store for breakfast.
Liberty started getting busy.
A new store opening was most likely to attract people to come in and try their food.
Liberty’s store had been remodeling for a period of time. The people working in nearby buildings passing by every day were already long aware of All You Can Eat.
They felt that the name of the store was simple and sounded down-to-earth.
When they saw that it was open for business, they came in to try the new owner’s skills.
At the age of fifteen, Liberty started raising her younger sister. Her cooking skills were honed for decades.
Those who came in to eat felt that the food of this diner was remarkably satisfying.
After the morning rush hour, Liberty finally had time to catch her breath.
Although it was tiring, she was absolutely happy.
Of course, if her ex-husband did not come in with his mother, Liberty’s smile would have remained until nighttime.
Hank came with a flower stand. When he saw that the only people in the store were Zachary, Serenity, and the middle-aged woman who often helped Liberty, he frowned. He proceeded to comment something unpleasant, “Why are there no customers?”
Olivia looked at the flower stands at the entrance. They were from Zachary and Serenity, Jasmine, Elisa and her family, as well as from Duncan.
