Chapter 1635

“You guys were going to start an office in your hometown. How did it go? Did you guys manage to rent an office?”

Zachary changed the topic.

“We managed to rent an office and hired several managers. They’ll officially start working next Monday.”

Zachary praised her, “You and Elisa are beginners in business, but you two are very efficient.”

Serenity smiled and said, “It’s all Elisa’s work. She does things hurriedly, but she loves to push the responsibilities to me and let go after having a rough idea.”

“I’ve said before that Elisa doesn’t have enough patience. That’s her personality. She’s lucky to have met such honest partners as you and Ms. Sox. Otherwise, she won’t even know if she’s being scammed.”

Grandma May had a sharp eye for people.

Back when Elisa liked Zachary, Grandma May had already told him that she was not suited to be the York family’s missus.

However, he would not like Elisa even without Grandma May’s remarks.

After all, he and Clive were like enemies. How could he fall in love with his rival’s sister?

If Serenity had reunited with Mrs. Stone before getting married to him, he would not agree to marry Serenity even if Grandma May had hit him with her walking cane.

He had no choice because Mrs. Stone only found Serenity after their marriage. He could only mend his relationship with Clive for Serenity’s sake.

Luckily, the Stone family valued Serenity and Liberty enough.

Whenever they did anything that targeted York Corporation, they would take Serenity into consideration and not be too cruel in their moves. At least they left some room for maneuver.

Although the two mega–corporations did not have partnerships, they were no longer as competitive as before.

“But Elisa has many good qualities. She has wide connections and resources. It’s just that she’s slightly lazy and dislikes socializing.” Serenity felt she was not as good as Elisa yet. After all, Elisa’s starting point was way ahead of hers.

Even if she put lots of effort into studying, assimilating into the elite circle, and getting used to the nuance of the business world, it had only been a short time; she still had many shortcomings.

Zachary said gently, “You and Elisa complement each other. You have what she doesn’t, and vice versa. The business you two invest in and start together will be successful. Seren, I believe the three of you will be the new big shots in Wiltspoon’s business world in three to five years.”

Leaving their identities aside, they would definitely be the rising stars of the business world.

Serenity said with a smile, “Thank you for saying so. I hope those words will come true too.”

Zachary embraced her and pecked her lips gently. He whispered, “It’s fine as long as you don’t neglect me.”

“No way. Even if I do neglect someone, it’ll never be you.”

“But you promised to write a love letter to me before. I haven’t received your love letter up till now.”

A hint of panic flashed across Serenity’s eyes. She had forgotten about it.

She had been busy with her business and tending to the bookstore. She often had to check on how the York family’s smaller businesses were doing as well while hiding her identity most of the time. That was the only way she could check whether the store assistants and managers were treating their work seriously.

Therefore, she would forget many things she promised others once she got busy.

However, Serenity never forgot Zachary. She did not forget him and always kept hirn on her mind. If she did not send him a message one day or call him to say she loved him several times, he would either act like a resentful husband or complain to her sister that she only prioritized earning money and neglected him.

He would also torture her on the bed every other day until she begged for forgiveness and promised she would not neglect him or make him sulk again.

Since she and Elisa became business partners, Serenity realized that Zachary had gotten more clingy.

Sometimes, she would think he was a piece of gum.

“I’ll write it after going home tonight. I promise. I’ll hand the love letter to you before you go to work tomorrow.” Serenity could only remedy the situation.

Zachary stared at her intensely.
