Chapter 496

Chapter 496 Zachary fell silent.

“You should let it all out to me before the others arrive. Don’t bottle everything up inside. You‘re not just harming yourself by doing that but everybody in the company too.”

Zachary’s rage brought forth hellfire!

Josh was trying his best to keep the better days alive in the entire office building.

“I saw Serenity with Shawn when I was delivering her a coat.”

Josh was rendered speechless.

with his jaw wide open, Josh had a hard time finding the words before finally saying, “It‘s a misunderstanding. I‘m sure it‘s a misunderstanding. Sometimes, what you see isn‘t the whole truth, Zachary. Don‘t sulk as you did before. You have to give the missus a chance to explain.”

“Shawn confessed his feelings to her.”

Josh paused and replied, “Shawn is my idol. He‘s bold and courageous. Mr. Lowe taught him well to be his successor.”

Zachary gave Josh the stank eye.

Josh rubbed his nose and said with a smile, “Zachary, maybe I should get Mr. Chaplin to buy you bucket loads of green paint.”

Zachary scowled.

“Here‘s a question for you. Did you see Serenity accepting Shawn‘s feelings? What did they talk about?”

After a brief silence, Zachary responded, “I saw Serenity holding a duster with one hand and a bouquet with another as she came out of the shop to dump the roses in the trash can. She then had a long talk with Shawn, but I couldn‘t hear what they were saying.

“I also saw Shawn trying to grab her hand…”

With his eyes sparkling for gossip, Josh eagerly asked, “Did he manage to grab her hand?”

“No. Serenity slapped his hand away with the duster.”

“Oh,” Josh remarked, “So he didn‘t hold her hand. What are you jealous about then? It seems Serenity has rejected Shawn.”

Tension ran along his facial lines as Zachary remained without a word.

He knew that Serenity did not accept Shawn’s feelings. Serenity had also sent him a lot of text messages to give full details.

Still, Zachary was disgruntled and eating his heart out.

“Zachary, you fell in love with Serenity because of her charms. Just because you like her, you can’t stop anyone else from liking her too. It‘s the same thing as Elisa having feelings for you. Was Serenity jealous when she found out that Elisa likes you?”

Josh turned into a love guru in an attempt to enlighten his best friend and boss.

The whole company should thank Josh as their lives would be a living hell once more if it were not for him by Zachary‘s side.

Zachary sulkily answered. “She knows Elisa likes me. She even gave Elisa ideas to pursue me.”

Josh was lost for words.

“Serenity doesn‘t even know that you‘re the great Mr. Zachary York, alright!”

Josh stood up for Serenity. “Shawn has known her for over a decade. They‘re childhood friends… Fine, fine. They‘re not childhood friends, alright? Stop glaring at me. Your looks could kill.”

Josh added amusedly, “If Shawn likes Serenity, that‘s his business. She can‘t control him or stop him from liking her, okay? All is good so long as she doesn‘t accept Shawn‘s feelings nor has a relationship with Shawn behind your back.

“The number of men having the hots for your wife proves you have a good eye for Mrs. Right. You don‘t need to be jealous or envious because that‘s what other men should be feeling You‘re the one who gets to go home to her.”

Before falling in love, Josh could not understand Zachary‘s pettiness and jealousy.

Zachary would turn into a green–eyed monster every time he was jealous.

Josh felt sympathetic toward Serenity as she was stuck with a petty man like Zachary.

Zachary uttered aloofly, “I can‘t even stand Shawn, let alone other men.”

Jealousy would bury him alive.

Josh replied with a smile, “I was only speaking metaphorically. I didn‘t mean anything by it.” Zachary scoffed without putting forth a comment.
