Jessica started looking around the place the moment she set foot in the diner. She was disappointed that Sonny was not around, but she did not show it on her face.
It was the two servers’ first day, so they had no idea about Liberty’s relationship with Hank. One of them came forth with a smile on her face, asking the couple what they would like to eat.
Hank brought Jessica to an empty table to sit down.
“Jessica, wifey, what would you like to eat?”
Before they went out, Jessica had demanded Hank to specifically call her “wifey” in Liberty’s presence.
Even though Liberty had no feelings for Hank, Jessica could not stop herself from seeing Liberty as her love rival.
It was probably because Jessica stole Hank from Liberty. Hence, she felt insecure that Hank would be taken by another.
“I’ll have whatever you’re having.”
Hank told the waitress, “Two breakfast sets.”
She took down their order and asked the couple to wait while she brought the food to them.
Most of the food was prepared in advance, except the main dishes which were made to order.
“Why don’t I see Sonny?” Jessica asked in a seemingly casual manner.
Hank did not know the answer to her question. By right, Sonny should be in the diner.
Did Serenity take him?
“I’ll ask Liberty.”
