Under Zeke’s encouragement, Lacey signed the contract.

He then turned to Mia and ordered, “Gather all the staff to meet their new boss.”

It was necessary for the employees to get to know Lacey to avoid a repeat of today’s incident, where they almost attacked their own boss.

Mia gathered the hundred employees who worked there.

Bowing in unison, they greeted Lacey, “We are at your service, ma’am.”

Lacey broke into a smile. “Next time, let us not be so formal. Wait a minute, you’re Harry Simpson!”

Lacey noticed a familiar figure in the crowd. He used to send food to her regularly when working as a delivery boy.

Whenever she had missed her meals, Harry would always appear at her door with food despite her not ordering any takeout.

When she asked Harry who sent the food, he would always say he didn’t know.

Lacey assumed it was Dawn and thought little of it.


Now that she saw Harry at the restaurant, she knew there was more to the matter than met the eye.

Walking out from the crowd, Harry greeted Lacey with a smile. “Hello, Ms. Hinton.”

Lacey asked out of curiosity, “Aren’t you working as a delivery boy? Why are you here? Have you been moonlighting?”

Harry laughed as he explained, “Ms. Hinton, you have the wrong idea. Actually, I’m not a delivery boy. I have always been an employee here. When Mr. Williams bought this restaurant, he ordered me to provide you with breakfast. Therefore, I’m in charge of delivering it to you. Every time you missed breakfast; I would masquerade as a delivery boy to send food to you.”

When Lacey heard it, tears of joy rolled down her cheeks.

All this time, Lacey had complained that Zeke never cared for her enough.

When she missed her meals because of work, Zeke would show no concern at all.

Now, she realized she was wrong to blame him.

He had always been concerned about her irregular meals and even bought a Michelin-starred restaurant just to make sure she ate regularly.

Wiping the tears off her face gently, Zeke comforted her, “There, there. Don’t cry now. You’re just embarrassing yourself in front of the staff.”

Lacey said with remorse, “Zeke, I was wrong to blame you for not loving me more. Why didn’t you ever let me know you cared?”

Smiling, Zeke replied, “Being concerned about you is my duty as your husband. There’s no need to tell you about it explicitly. Unlike some others who liked to declare that they would give the moon and the stars but fall flat in fulfilling their promise.”

Mance’s expression turned awkward as he was aware of what Zeke was insinuating.

Turning to the staff, Zeke instructed, “Alright, you’re dismissed. Everything will stay as it is with Harry in charge of Lacey’s meals.”

“No problem.” Harry answered readily.

With that, the crowd dispersed.
