Chapter 326
Besides, this boss of hers not only worked behind the cash register, but she also took on the role of a waitress and even cleaned the tables. There was simply no work in the restaurant that she would not do. When it got really busy in the restaurant, she would basically be left with no free time at all.
Perhaps because her capabilities were limited, she devoted all her life to giving her child the best that she could afford.
At around three in the afternoon, the restaurant received an order for pineapple buns and milk tea. When Serenity read the address of the customer, however, she seemed to be lost in her thoughts.
“What’s wrong?” Clara asked. “Is there a problem?”
She had already prepared the food, but when she handed it over to Serenity, she noticed that the young woman was staring a the receipt blankly, seemingly in a daze.
“Nothing,” replied Serenity as she took the food in her hands.
The address happened to be the law firm where she used to work. If she was to deliver the food there, it was likely that she would bump into her former colleagues.

Back then, she used to be the star lawyer of the firm, but now, she was about to return there without any honor or respectability at all.
Her heart was filled with bitterness, but she reminded herself that since she had chosen this profession, it would be impossible to avoid this kind of thing happening sooner or later. Besides, she still had a long life ahead of her, so she was bound to bump into people she used to know. Was she going to stay fearful of facing those people for the rest of her life just because she used to be in prison, just because she had fallen to rock bottom?
When it all came down to it, all she had to do was get used to it and she would be fine!

She reminded herself of all these things as she placed the food into the scooter’s basket and headed toward the address. The closer she got to her old office, the more familiar the roads seemed to her. When she finally reached the office entrance, parked the scooter and looked up at the modern skyscraper.
Back then, when she had first stepped into this building, she remembered how ambitious and determined she was. She even thought that once she had accumulated enough experience and became more independent, she might be able to set up her own law firm one day!
But now, all those thoughts had become wishful fantasies, as illusory as the shadow of the moon on the surface of the lake.
Serenity picked up the food and went into the familiar elevator before pressing the floor button. As she stood in front of the glass doors of her old office, she dialed the number of the customer who had ordered the food. Soon afterward, out walked a young woman who seemed to be fresh out of college. She was probably a new recruit of the law firm.
“Thank you,” the young woman said as Serenity handed her the food.
Just then, the receptionist of the office recognized Serenity and cried out, “Isn’t that Serenity? Are you…’
The receptionist’s eyes turned to the food in her colleague’s hands and asked in surprise, “You’re doing the delivery?”
“Yeals, Serenity replied.
The young woman asked the receptionist, “Do you guys know each other?”
