Chapter 305
Once Duncan and Liberty were gone, everybody around started to speculate how their CEO might have met Liberty. It appeared their CEO was watching out for Liberty.
“Could she be the CEO’s relative?”
“No, I don’t think so. Didn’t you hear the fat woman address the CEO as Mr. Lewis? They have met before, but I guess they’re not very close.”
“Do you think our CEO has a crush on the fat woman? He’s thirty–five this year, but he doesn’t have a girlfriend.”
Duncan was a young and promising CEO, but the scar on his face together with his towering and muscular build and penetrating eyes gave the impression that he was with the mafia.
That was the reason he did not have a girlfriend despite being
in his mid–thirties.
Everybody turned their attention to the person who pointed that out. Ms. Chaplin smacked the back of the person’s head and replied, “What’s in that head of yours? I can’t believe you’d think that. As a woman, I’m turned off by the fat woman. I’m sure you men feel the same if not worse.
“All Mr. Lewis has is a scar on his face. He’s pretty hot if you don’t look at that side of his face. A man like Mr. Lewis can get his hands on any woman. Why should he go after a fat cow?
“One more thing. Liberty is married and has a two–year–old boy.”

The crowd stopped speculating the pair in a romantic way.
However, they were still curious about Liberty’s relationship with Duncan.
Duncan’s demands for Liberty to run and lose weight were for her own good. As if they would believe nothing was going on between them.
The man himself would have lamented how he got into the mess if he was aware of the conversation among his employees.
Elisa left Wiltspoon School at eleven o’clock in the morning and was headed for Wiltspoon Hotel to stumble upon Zachary.
Zachary arrived at the shop by the time Serenity had finished cooking.
Serenity exclaimed cheerfully, “It’s fine. I don’t care about the breed. I love them all. They’re so cute and beautiful.”
The dog was not a large breed. She took an instant liking to the dog’s white fur.
“Ragdolls are expensive.”
Serenity went to play with the kittens. She said, “The ragdolls cost a few thousand dollars at the very least, and that’s a friends–and–family rate. The kittens must cost you over ten thousand dollars each.”
“The price doesn’t matter so long as you like them. Let’s be clear. They’re not allowed in my room. You’re responsible for their care if you want to keep them. You’re on poop duty.”
Serenity smiled widely. “Don’t worry. The pets and I won’t step into your territory. I will teach them that your bedroom is
off–limits.”
Her delight amused Zachary.
