The new store was bustling with activity as Zoe Bell worked tirelessly until the last group of customers left, finally allowing her to rest.
Joy Watson, promoted to store manager, was busy tallying the day’s sales and inventory, while also organizing a list of gift-giving customers—a practice of reciprocation for future reference.
“Sister Zoe, didn’t Mr. Hale make dinner plans with you tonight? You can go ahead, I can handle the rest,” Joy said, her smile wide as she looked over the day’s earnings.
“No rush.”
At that moment, the doorbell hanging on the door chimed, and Joy looked up smiling, “Sorry, ma’am, but we’ve closed for the day.”
“I know.”
Zoe lifted her head at the sound.
It was Iva Payne.
Holding a bouquet and a gift in her arms, her smile was gentle, but her eyes and brows bore signs of exhaustion, not as haughty as before.
“Joy, please pour us some tea,” Zoe gestured for Iva to follow her to a side seat.
As the tea steeped, Iva took the opportunity to scrutinize Zoe once again.
The warmth from the indoors allowed her to wear a lotus-pink Chinese-styled blouse, adorned with a string of Southern Red and white jade around her neck—its luster warm, her hair loosely tied up, exuding elegance and poise.
“Mrs. Hale, congratulations on the opening of your new store, and may your business prosper,” Iva said.
“Thank you.”
“Last time at the old house, I was too impulsive, and I really want to apologize properly to you. Celine’s detention is a consequence of her own actions,” Iva sipped her tea, her gaze fixed on Zoe, “I’ve been busy with work and neglected to discipline her.”
“It’s all in the past,” Zoe replied indifferently.
