Chapter 1284
“Any news, Seren?” Mrs. Stone threw a question at Serenity.
Serenity huddled together with Elisa watching reels when her aunt asked her a question. Lifting her chin, she asked in confusion, “What news, Aunt Audrey?”
Elisa stopped the videos and looked at her mother.
“Are you referring to our investment? The contracts are signed and out of the way, so the work can commence now. i’m hiring a few agriculturists to start farming. Seren, we should get a start on the sales front too.”
Elisa was running the sales bit now. However, agriculture was still underway, and nothing had grown yet. Hence, they had not received any orders.
Serenity responded, “Sure. Tomorrow night is a good opportunity.“
Old Mr. Marshall’s birthday celebration was a business engagement too.
Mrs. Stone was speechless.
Judging by the scowl on her mother’s face, Elisa realized they got the wrong answer.
She gave Serenity a nudge..
It dawned on Serenity what Mrs. Stone was trying to get to. “Aunt Audrey, are you asking if I’m pregnant?”
“Clive and Zachary are supportive of your project. I believe your investment looks promising, so I’m not worried about that. I’m not getting any younger. I’m most worried about your marriage.”
“That reminds me, Seren. I need to go out for a bit,”
Jolting to her feet, Elisa was ready to ditch Serenity and make a run for it.
She fled to the door and said, “Don’t worry, Seren. I’ll take care of what you’ve asked of me.”
