Chapter 161

Surprised, the few CEOs immediately asked Josh, “Mr. Bucham, does Mr. York have someone he

likes? Do you know who the lucky girl is?”

Fancy that. Even Zachary had a shot at love. The probability was slim to none.

“Shh… You gotta keep it a secret or Mr. York will reproach me for being nosy and a blabbermouth. Mr.

York hasn‘t fallen in love yet. He‘s merely a bit interested in the girl. Judging by his character, Mr. York

will tell the whole world once he‘s fallen head over heels with a girl.”

Mr. York would put the word out there so admirers like Elisa would not harass him.

The CEOs nodded their heads.

It was good enough for them to find out that Mr. York was interested in girls. It got one of the CEOs

thinking as he had a daughter who had reached marrying age.

Since Mr. York was a straight guy, the CEO intended to bring his daughter along to observe during

business discussions at York Corporation. Who knows? His daughter might catch Mr. York‘s attention.

The girl, who Mr. York had shown interest in, had not been formally introduced as his girlfriend.

It was a fair competition.

Having no idea that his right–hand man had betrayed him, Zachary was delighted to get a call from his

wife. A smile plastered across his face. Of course, he kept his tone flat and deep when talking to

Serenity, “Yes?”

“I just called to check in on you. Are you having a break? Am I bothering you?”

Serenity was worried her call might be untimely since it was midday break.

“I‘m having my lunch.” “Oh.” Serenity added. “Why are you having a late lunch? I know things can be

busy at work, but you must remember to have your meals on time. Don‘t starve yourself.”

“Alright.”

It was not the first time anyone showed Zachary concern, but Serenity‘s thoughtful words gave him the

warmest tingles.

“Um… Mr. York, thank you for sending me lunch. The food was amazing. The dessert was fresh too.”

The service of a major hotel was nothing short of impeccable.

Zachary still reflected no emotions in his voice. “I have a late lunch meeting at the Wiltspoon Hotel. You

order takeout every day and it‘s not the best thing to eat

excessively, so I ordered a few dishes and had the manager arrange for delivery.

“Try and refrain from ordering takeout. If you like, I can arrange for daily food delivery from the hotel.”

Zachary could put his trust in the hotel under his company‘s flagship.

Besides, he personally made the call to organize the whole thing. It was safer for Serenity to eat it than

the takeout she ordered.

“Jasmine and I would get groceries and cook if we had time. We order takeout when we‘re busy. Don‘t

make it a daily arrangement. The Wiltspoon Hotel is the best hotel in the city. The food is heavenly, but

I‘m sure it‘s expensive. It‘s fine to enjoy the hotel meals once in a while, but we can‘t afford to have

them every single day.”

Zachary might be well–paid, but at the end of the day, he was working for somebody else.

Serenity took home a monthly income of around twenty thousand dollars. With her online business

booming this month, her earnings went up by a lot to an estimate of thirty thousand bucks.

Although she earned more, Serenity would not waste her money unnecessarily. She saved 70% of her

income every month, either keeping it in the bank or investing in low risk wealth management products.

Zachary paused before answering, “Try to cook your own meals. Don‘t order takeout anymore. I‘m

going to have

food delivered to your shop if you get into the habit of ordering takeout. At worst, I‘ll spend all my

money on food.”

“Fine, fine. I‘ll buy groceries at the supermarket near our place to bring to the shop. I‘ll make my own

food instead of eating out. Don‘t send me food from the hotel every day. We can‘t afford the hefty price.

Although we eat to live, it‘s excessive to spend all your wages on food.”

Zachary remained silent.

In her eyes, he was only an ordinary wage earner. Even though Serenity knew he was a white–collar

worker, she had no clue about the figure of his salary. She was trying to save him money in case she

ate him out of the house and home.

It was clear that she was not a money–hungry woman.

In fact, Zachary realized he was wrong about Serenity going after his money after spending a good

deal of time with her.
