Chapter 160
Married at First Sight
Perhaps it would not be long before Serenity and Zachary turn into a real couple and live happily ever
after.
Snapping out of her thoughts, Serenity thanked the hotel manager and saw him off at the door. She
watched as the manager got into the car and drove away before heading
into the shop.
As there were two lunch sets, the other share was without a doubt for Jasmine.
By the time Serenity got back in, Jasmine had washed her hands and was seated behind the cash
register. With her best friend approaching, she said with a smile, âCome on and eat. The Wiltspoon
Hotel is a sevenâstar hotel. We tried their food at the dinner party the last time. I couldnât stop thinking
about the delicious food after I got home.
âThanks to you, I finally get to relive the taste.â
Jasmine shoved the cutlery into Serenityâs hands while complimenting Zachary with glee, âI canât
believe Mr. York can be so thoughtful. He bought you lunch and had it delivered to you. He must feel
bad that youâve been having takeout for lunch.
âSerenity, Mr. York has a lot of redeeming qualities. Although he has his guard up and signed a sixâ
month
contract with you, he might trash the agreement and become lifelong partners with you once you two
spend some time together. Think about it.â
Serenity burst out laughing . âYouâve already taken his side after he bought you lunch. I get along with
him, but it doesnât look like our relationship is going to advance from here.â
âIâm not someone who can be bought with a single meal. Besides, youâre my best friend. No matter
what happens or the circumstances, I will always be on your side. Compared to your brotherâinâlaw,
would you dare say that Mr. York is not one of the good guys?â
The pair dug in and discussed the quality of men.
âMy brotherâinâlaw used to be so good to my sister. His attitude changed for the worst ever since
Sonny was born.â
Human beings were fickleâminded.
Serenity and Zachary had only been married for a month, so they were not very familiar with each other
yet. She still had a lot to learn about Zachary. They had not reached the stage to put themselves out
there, showing their flaws and strengths to one another.
âI think Mr. York is not like your brotherâinâlaw. Mr. Yorkâs strict, aloof, and gentlemanlike. Once you
bag that kind of man, you can forget ever leaving his side. Heâll spoil you to the moon and back for
sure.â
Serenity grinned without a word.
Nevertheless, Serenity was happy that Zachary delivered her a bountiful and delicious lunch. Before
digging in, she snapped a photo and posted it on Facebook with the caption: (Special delivery from the
husband.)
Considering that she and Zachary kept their marriage under wraps, Serenity did not make the post
visible to friends who were in the dark about her marriage.
After lunch, Serenity saw off the last few students before calling Zachary.
Zachary happened to be at the Wiltspoon Hotel for a luncheon with a few clients, where he could
discuss business over lunch.
With an incoming call from Serenity, Zachary excused himself apologetically to the few CEOs, âI need
to take a call.â
âBe my guest, Mr. York.â The CEOs gladly gestured for Zachary to go ahead.
Having closed a deal with York Corporation, the CEOs were in the best of moods. They enjoyed a few
bites and chatted while Zachary got up to take the call elsewhere. One of the CEOs asked Josh, who
was also there, âMr. Yorkâs outfit today doesnât seem to be his usual attire.â
Those with keen eyes picked up on Zacharyâs change in his clothing label
Josh replied with a smile, âGood catch, Mr. Williams. Itâs indeed different. Um⦠A girl, who heâs a little
interested in, gave him the suit.â
