Chapter 274
Elizabeth was about to leave after dropping Lila off when Lila asked, "You coming to the entertainment industry party tomorrow night?"
Elizabeth looked at her. Lila leaned on the car window, looking pitiful. She really wanted Elizabeth to come; going alone would be too boring.
Seeing Lilaโs sad face, Elizabeth sighed. She couldnโt say no. โAlright, Iโll go,โ Elizabeth said, giving in.
Lila beamed. โSee you tomorrow night.โ
โI might steal your spotlight,โ Elizabeth teased.
Lila didnโt mind.
After Elizabeth left, Lila went back inside. On her way home, Elizabeth checked the news. Luckily, no one had reported her ruthless moves at the racing competition.
Feeling hungry, Elizabeth called Felix. โWant to grab some food?โ
Felixโs car immediately followed hers. Elizabeth glanced at him through the window and smiled. They sped up, racing each other, and finally stopped in front of Lisbon University.
Felix got out and looked around. โWhat are we eating?โ
โSpicy food,โ Elizabeth said, craving it for some reason.
Felix followed her to the spicy food restaurant. Kimberly greeted them warmly. โYouโre here again, just the two of you? Upstairs?โ
Elizabeth nodded. Felix asked, โWho did you come with before?โ
Elizabeth was about to answer when she saw a photo on Kimberlyโs wall. She slowed her steps. The staircase walls were covered with photos of Kimberly and her customers. A new photo caught Elizabethโs eye.
โOh, you came with Mr. Tudor,โ Felix said plaintively.
Elizabeth glared at him and went upstairs. Felix took another look at the photo. Elizabeth and Alexander actually made a good match, but love needed more than one personโs affection.
Felix quickly followed. Elizabeth ordered a lot of dishes. โDonโt eat too much spicy food; itโs bad for your stomach,โ Felix reminded her.
Elizabeth ignored him and checked her phone. She had two unread messages on Facebook. She opened them and squinted.
Grant: [Elizabeth, remember the favor I asked?]
Elizabeth frowned. The next message read: [You promised to find Serenity Leaf for your grandma, did you forget?]
Elizabeth was taken aback. She had promised Grant to get the Serenity Leaf. โFelix, can you check if we have any Serenity Leaf in our warehouse?โ Elizabeth asked.
Felix nodded and started checking on his phone. Elizabeth put down her phone. Felix said, โThereโs no Serenity Leaf. What is it?โ
Elizabeth was surprised. โWhat? I thought we did, so I promised Grant. Help me find out who has it.โ
โItโs a medicinal herb. Plant one, and it grows many. Itโs very resilient,โ Elizabeth explained.
Felix was already searching. Serenity Leaf was an S-class rare herb, extremely expensive and scarce, comparable to saffron.
โThereโs none on the market,โ Felix told her.
โPlease help me find some, no matter the cost. My grandpa wants to give it to my grandma,โ Elizabeth said.
