Chapter 166 
Elisa was rendered speechless.
Was she bratty and willful?
Come to think of it, Elisa had to admit that she did act like a spoiled brat.
It was largely because she was the apple of the Stones‘ eye. Her family‘s love did not give her a stuck–up attitude, but Elisa was not the easiest person to get along with. She would not hesitate to kick out anyone who had gotten on her list of dislikes if she found them hanging around her.
She had no consideration for other people‘s feelings.
Even her relatives were not spared from her wrath.
It took a while before Elisa gratefully said to Serenity,“ Thank you for telling me this, Serenity. No one ever talked to me about changing my bad behavior.”
Serenity thought to herself, ‘Who would say something so blunt to your face?‘
She made a bold suggestion because she did not belong in Elisa‘s circle. Besides, Elisa saw Serenity as her love guru.
“Seren.”
Having woken up from her afternoon nap, Jasmine came
out when she overheard Serenity talking with someone. She rubbed her eyes when she saw Elisa. Oh, it was a stranger.
Nevertheless , there was just something familiar about the girl. Jasmine felt like she had seen the girl somewhere before.
Jasmine had never met Elisa in person. The only reason she found Elisa familiar was because Jasmine had seen a photograph of Elisa online.
While gossiping about Mr. York and Elisa , Jasmine had once told her best friend that the pair were a good match for each other.
“You‘re up, Jasmine.” Serenity beckoned her best friend over and introduced her to Elisa. “Ms. Stone, this is my best friend and partner of this shop, Jasmine.” Elisa did not hit it off with Jasmine as she did with Serenity, but out of respect for Serenity, she magnanimously nodded at Jasmine as a greeting. Jasmine froze the moment she found out that the proud and beautiful woman turned out to be the sister of Stone Group‘s CEO who had been fearlessly asking Mr. York out.
Her opened jaw and wide eyes amused Elisa.
While Elisa clicked with Serenity and was willing to share her secrets, she clammed up in the presence of others. With Jasmine up from her nap, Elisa got up and excused
herself.
“Ms. Stone, this maneki–neko is for you.” Serenity gave Elisa the maneki–neko intended for Zachary.
She and Zachary were married, so it should not matter if she were to delay her gift to Zachary by a few days.
Elisa happily accepted the gift and asked for the link to Serenity‘s online business. As Serenity wrapped the lucky cat in a gift bag, Elisa said, “I‘ll be going away to the beach for a holiday with my mom in the afternoon. We have a beachfront estate there and lots of fresh seafood to eat. I’ll bring you some when I come back.”
Serenity loved seafood too much to miss out on it. “I look forward to it.”
Now Serenity was Elisa‘s kind of gal. Serenity would readily accept and reject gifts depending on whether the gift was to her liking or necessity. There was no mincing or pretense getting in the way. Serenity was forthcoming with her emotions and intentions.
Elisa wanted Serenity as a friend for sure!
In fact, Elisa was not a snob. She was willing to befriend anybody who she got along with, regardless of class and status. She was quite like Grandma May in that sense.
