Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 879
Serenity lifted her gaze to meet his eyes.
Alas, Zachary had turned away and walked off.
She stared blankly as Zachary took large strides away. The hurt sneaked up on her.
Serenity had no idea whether it was because of him or herself.
Jasmine and Elisa were talking about something outside when Zachary came out of the shop with a grimacing look. Without
looking at the girls, he made a beeline to his usual ride–the Rolls Royce.
Zachary had gotten rid of his security team, but the chauffeur stayed behind in case Zachary needed a ride.
Seeing that Zachary was out, the chauffeur got out of the car and opened the door for him.
Zachary, together with the Rolls Royce, disappeared out of Jasmine and Elisa’s sight in no time.
Elisa and Jasmine were left staring at each other.
The girls immediately turned on their heels and rushed back into the shop.
Serenity was not behind the cash register. Her crafting tools sat quietly on the cash register with trails of blood all over the
surface. There were also traces of blood on the scissors.
Was Serenity hurt?
“Seren.”
“Seren.”
Jasmine and Elisa called out to her while waltzing deeper into the room.
Serenity was in the loo.
Zachary switched to an angry tone with her out of the blue, but by the time she looked at him, he had stormed out.

Distracted, Serenity cut her finger with the scissors. The cut was deep enough to draw blood. She grabbed her go–to ointment,
bandage, and antiseptic solution from the drawer to stop the bleeding. With a cotton bud, she applied the antiseptic solution and
poured the ointment over the injury before wrapping gauze around her finger.
Blood got all over the table and her fingers, so she went into the loo to wash the blood off her hands.
“I’m here.”
Serenity responded as she came out of the loo.
“Are you hurt?” Jasmine uttered with concern. “Let me see.”
Showing off her bandaged finger, Serenity acted like nothing ever happened and said, “I accidentally cut myself with the scissors
sometimes. No biggie. It’s bleeding a little, but I’m fine.”
Jasmine held Serenity’s finger up as she examined it carefully. Although the finger was bandaged, blood was oozing through the
gauze. She said in distress, “It’s still bleeding. The cut must be deep. You need to go to the hospital to get it checked out.”
“It’s fine. I applied some ointment to stop the bleeding. The bleeding should stop in a bit.”
Serenity withdrew her arm and waltzed away, remarking, “I’ll just redress my wound.”
Her two best friends followed behind her.
Returning to her seat behind the cash register, Serenity grabbed a fresh roll of gauze and swathed it around her finger.
“Seren, get your wound checked out and redressed in the hospital. You should get a tetanus shot too.”
The bloody scene made Elisa queasy as she was afraid to see blood.
“I’m fine. There’s no need for that. I often get cuts on my finger, and this is how I handle it. The cut will heal in a few days.”
Jasmine told her off, “It has been many years since you got a cut. What did Zachary say or do to you? You nearly cut your finger
off.”
