Chapter 160

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, “Come on and eat. The Wiltspoon Hotel is a seven–star hotel. We tried their food at the dinner party the last time. I couldn‘t stop thinking about the delicious food after I got home.

“Thanks to you, I finally get to relive the taste.”

Jasmine shoved the cutlery into Serenity‘s hands while complimenting Zachary with glee, “I can‘t believe Mr. York can be so thoughtful. He bought you lunch and had it delivered to you. He must feel bad that you‘ve been having takeout for lunch.

“Serenity, Mr. York has a lot of redeeming qualities. Although he has his guard up and signed a six–

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.”

Serenity burst out laughing . “You‘ve already taken his side after he bought you lunch. I get along with him, but it doesn‘t look like our relationship is going to advance from here.”

“I‘m not someone who can be bought with a single meal. Besides, you‘re my best friend. No matter what happens or the circumstances, I will always be on your side. Compared to your brother–in–law, would you dare say that Mr. York is not one of the good guys?”

The pair dug in and discussed the quality of men.

“My brother–in–law used to be so good to my sister. His attitude changed for the worst ever since Sonny was born.”

Human beings were fickle–minded.

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.

“I think Mr. York is not like your brother–in–law. Mr. York‘s strict, aloof, and gentlemanlike. Once you bag that kind of man, you can forget ever leaving his side. He‘ll spoil you to the moon and back for sure.”

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, “I need to take a call.”

“Be my guest, Mr. York.” 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, “Mr. York‘s outfit today doesn‘t seem to be his usual attire.”

Those with keen eyes picked up on Zachary‘s change in his clothing label Josh replied with a smile, “Good catch, Mr. Williams. It‘s indeed different. Um… A girl, who he‘s a little interested in, gave him the suit.”
