Ever since the start of the school’s winter holidays, Jasmine had been holing up at home. Her daily routine consisted of eating, sleeping, and reading romance novels on her phone.
Her brother would get the occasional phone call from Josh to dine out, and Jasmine would invite herself to the get-together in case her brother might sell her out behind her back.
Now that Jasmine received a message from Serenity that the latter was back, Jasmine quickly replied with a voice message.
“How about Italian tonight? Mr. Bucham took my brother to an Italian place, and the food was great. I’ve been waiting for you to come back so we can try out the place. You have no idea. I couldn’t binge when dining with my brother and Mr. Bucham because I’d eat more than them.”
Serenity responded to her with a smile, “I can’t tonight. I just got back with Mr. York. We’re going to have a slow night. How about tomorrow night? Get my sister and Elisa to join us.”
“We don’t have to include Elisa since she eats like a lady. She’s not a foodie like you and I. We’re complete opposites when it comes to food. Your sister is trying to lose weight and is on a strict diet right now. She goes running three times a day. She’d probably end up watching us eat if we asked her to come along. I don’t think we’d be able to eat in peace.
“Seren, your sister’s weight loss is starting to show. I guess you haven’t seen your sister since you just got back. She lost ten pounds in a week. She’s really pushing herself and sticking to her guns. I wouldn’t be able to hold out and stay away from food if it were me.”
It would be tough for a foodie to follow through with a strict diet.
“Your sister lost twenty pounds since the talk about the divorce. She’ll achieve her weight goal if she carries on a little longer.”
News that her sister dropped ten pounds in a week concerned Serenity. She asked, “Is my sister not eating at all?”
She was not in Wiltspoon to check on her sister’s daily living.
Her sister often said all was good when Serenity called. Serenity was told to focus on nursing Zachary back to health.
Jasmine replied, “Nah. Your sister has been working out a lot. I mean, she runs three times a day and cuts down on fats and sweets. Plus, she’s busy with the renovation of her shop. No one wants to work during the holidays, so she took it upon herself to order the materials and get around. I’d be surprised if she didn’t lose any weight.
“She’s taking her three meals. She doesn’t finish her plate, but enough for her calorie count.”
It put Serenity’s mind at ease.
“I’ll see you tomorrow night then. Let’s go to the Italian place you talked about. Just the two of us.”
