Jeanne spent about half an hour walking around the office before receiving a call from Serenity. Instead of heading back up to Sonny’s office, she headed straight for the exit.
“Aunt Seren!”
Seeing Serenity, Jeanne jogged out of the building.
Serenity had not bothered driving into the company parking lot to avoid the hassle. Instead, she had just pulled up by the front gates and gave Jeanne a call.
Watching Jeanne jog toward her, Serenity smiled and said, “Slow down! You’re in heels.”
However, Jeanne did not stop.
“Did you let Sonny know you were leaving?” Serenity handed her a large bag of snacks and reached out to gently stroke her cheek, adding, “You’ve lost weight. Have you been skipping meals? I know work is important, but your health comes first. You need to eat on time and stop staying up so late.”
“I lost weight? I thought I was gaining some.”
Jeanne took the heavy bag of snacks from Serenity. They were all her favorites. When she was a little girl, she had been a total foodie who could not go anywhere without a stash of treats. Now that she was an adult with a grueling work schedule, she rarely had time for snacks anymore.
Yet, her elders never forgot what she liked. Every time Serenity came to visit, she always brought a massive haul of Jeanne’s favorite comfort foods.
“You’ve lost weight, a lot of it. And look at those dark circles under your eyes. It’s obvious you’ve been burning the midnight oil. Even your makeup can’t hide how exhausted you are.”
Serenity pulled out her phone and dialed Sonny’s number. As soon as Sonny picked up, she said, “Sonny, I’ve got Jeanne with me. If you’re free tonight, come over for dinner.”
“Of course, I’ll be there.”
Since they were not heading back to Wildridge Manor but were staying at Serenity’s downtown penthouse instead, Sonny would not miss it. Besides, his own apartment was not far from Serenity’s place.
“Good. We’re heading out now. Make sure you come over right after work, and don’t you dare log any overtime tonight. You need to give yourself a break and relax every now and then.”
