Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1302
Duncan and Serenity did not have a lot in common to talk about.
With Serenity here, Duncan could not have a private moment with Liberty.
After Liberty made him his order, customers started coming into the diner. Nevertheless, the menu items ordered were already
made in advance, so the workers could serve the customers without needing the boss to be in the kitchen.
Liberty went back to her spot and continued her breakfast.
"Duncan."
The voice made Duncan lose his appetite.
Liberty and Serenity turned their heads and watched a beautiful woman walk through the opened glass door. Serenity did not
recognize Lily, but Liberty had seen a picture of Lily before. Liberty thought Lily looked better in person than in the picture.
Lily made a good match with Duncan.
"Ms. Harmon, would you like something to eat?"
Liberty put down her utensils and got up to serve the customer.
Lily moved her gaze from Duncan to Liberty. She had observed Liberty a few times in the dark, and this was the first time she
had come face-to- face with her. Lily thought Liberty was quite a gorgeous lady.
"I heard the food here is amazing. Can I have the same as Duncan? Thank you."
Lily then strutted to Duncan’s table and put aside her limited-edition handbag. She pulled out a few tissues to wipe the chair
before sitting down.
With Serenity looking at Lily, the latter said hello with a smile, "Good morning, Mrs. York."
"Morning."
Serenity had no idea who the woman was, but the woman seemed to know who she was. Serenity should respond to the kind
greeting.

Her sister addressed the beautiful woman as Ms. Harmon. When did Liberty get to know her?
Serenity had attended many social engagements with Mrs. Stone and met many wives of wealthy men and heiresses. Through
socializing, Serenity developed a trained eye to tell that Lily was highborn. She carried herself with such grace.
"Mrs. York, my name is Lily, Lily Harmon."
Lily introduced herself.
"Hello, Ms. Harmon."
Lily smiled and ended the engagement there.
She had always wanted to befriend Serenity, but she and Serenity were not close yet. It was an appropriate setting to say hello
and introduce herself so that Serenity could remember her name.
There would always be opportunities to develop their friendship in the future.
Duncan asked, "Why are you here?"
It was only seven o'clock right now. Was Lily here to spy on him?
Duncan had not moved back home yet and was still an unwanted guest at Zachary's villa. By right, there was no way Lily could
track him down unless she were waiting nearby, knowing he would have his usual breakfast at Liberty's diner.
He guessed it right.
Nevertheless, it was not Lily who had been spying on him. It was his mother.
Mrs. Lewis had placed people around the area so she was the first to know when her people spotted Duncan from a mile away.
Mrs. Lewis then informed Lily to go over.
Lily was a disciplined person. She would go for a run and exercise at dawn every day. Mrs. Lewis also housed her in one of
Duncan's properties not too far from Lewis & Co. It was easy and quick for Lily to get here.
"I'm here because you're here,” Lily answered matter-of-factly as he looked and tilted her head at Duncan.

Duncan commented, "So long as you're fine with it."
"What am I to say when your stomach can take the food? Did you forget that I started from the bottom too?"
Lily started out at the lowest level in the company. No one knew she was the boss's daughter. She handled the most tiring labor
at the lowest wages. Her basic necessities were no different than any regular employee's.
Before she rose through the ranks in the company, Lily had to sneak home in case others might find out that she was the boss's
daughter. She would usually rent the cheapest apartment or share with other tenants to get a better place.
Duncan answered, "Oh, I didn’t know that. Mayne my mom told me, but I didn't pay much attention.”
He had met Lily when they were younger, but she was not someone he regarded as part of his group of friends. Duncan would
not have known that she was her mother's best friend's daughter if he did not run into Lily during her trip to Wiltspoon.
