Female Novel
Chapter 2243
“I believe you have better prospects in expanding your restaurant chain since you love cooking and
want to make delicious and affordable food for people. However, you must be stricter with management
and develop your own management style because a good leader is like a glue that holds the team
together. Liberty, I believe you will succeed, but don’t be in a hurry. Take things slow. Rome wasn’t built
overnight. We will gain more experience as we move forward.”
Liberty nodded. “You have a point, Mr. Lewis. I will pace myself. The last thing I want is a costly
mistake of losing everything.”
Age was still on her side. She could work her way in the industry for another decade before considering
diversifying into a five-star hotel.
Liberty wheeled Duncan out of the restaurant and stopped to shut and lock the glass door before
pulling down the security shutters.
“I’ll do it, Ms. Hunt.”
The Lewises’ bodyguard came forth and pulled down the shutters for Liberty. Liberty performed the last
security check.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it, Ms. Hunt.”
The bodyguard then turned to Duncan, noticing Sonny sleeping in his arms. For a moment, the
bodyguard was unsure whether Duncan would go with Ms. Hunt or head home.
“It’s late, Mr. Lewis. You must be tired. Go home and get some rest. I’ll take Sonny home.”
Liberty approached, bent over, and took her sleeping son from Duncan.
Sonny was fast asleep, not even stirring when his mother picked him up. He remained in slumberland,
now against his mother’s shoulder.
“Liberty, I can’t let you and Sonny travel on your own. I’ll give you both a lift.” Duncan could not relax
when it came to their safety.
Even though people would think twice before harming Liberty and Sonny because of her ties to
powerful families, they could never be too careful.
Liberty answered, “I live just a short drive away. It’s only ten minutes or so past the busy streets, and
there’s road surveillance, so it’s pretty safe.”
She often went out on her own in the middle of the night when she first opened her breakfast diner.
Back then, Liberty did not own a car. She would take her sleeping son on an e-bike to the diner early in
the morning. While she prepped the ingredients, she would have Sonny sleep on two chairs that she
pushed together.
“It doesn’t take long for me to take you home.” Duncan insisted on driving her.
Liberty stopped refusing the kind gesture.
She carried her sleeping son to her car and laid him down on the car seat.
“Ms. Hunt, this is Mr. Duncan’s jacket for Sonny.”
The little man could catch a cold, sleeping in an air-conditioned car.
Liberty took the jacket from the bodyguard and tucked Sonny under it to keep him warm.
She turned back and urged the bodyguard, “Make sure the AC isn’t set too low later.”
The bodyguard respectfully acknowledged her request.
Everybody could see how good Duncan was to Liberty. Although Liberty had not accepted Duncan’s
feelings, she was not completely blind to them. She still cared for Duncan.
Liberty gently closed the door. After much thought, she told the bodyguard, “I’ll help you to carry Mr.novelbin
Lewis into the car.”
Duncan was a large man, so it would be difficult for one person to help him into the car when his leg
muscles had not recovered.
It usually took two bodyguards to follow him and take care of his needs.
