Chapter 17

"Yeah."

Zachary answered in a deep voice.

Serenity drew close, holding a carrier bag in hand.

"I bought cranberries. Do you want some?"

Black in the face, Zachary gave her a dirty look. All she did was eat at the dinner party. Yet, she still had room for more.

She was such a glutton!

"Cranberries can taste bitter when eaten raw, but there's a sweet aftertaste that comes through. It was once the favorite of my most cherished man."

Taking the seat next to Zachary, Serenity opened the container of cranberries. Zachary discreetly scooted to the side to pull away from her. He did not want his clothes stained.

"Your most cherished man?"

"The man on the hundred-dollar bill."

Zachary was speechless. Money to him was a series of numbers in his account.

"Do you want to try a bite? It's tasty. For real. It's delicious. I can't get enough of it."

"No. Knock yourself out. One more thing. Can you take it to the dining hall? I can’t stand to see the furniture stained."

Seeing that Zachary was a clean freak, Serenity carried her container away while mumbling to herself, "The high wage earners must be very particular over the finer materials in life."

Serenity was having a blast snacking in the dining room.
