Chapter 497

The senior executives entered the meeting room in droves by then.

Seeing the two biggest bosses waiting in the room, the senior executives were startled and got a bad feeling about the meeting being called at the last minute.

Zachary still had his poker face on.

Some looked at Callum, hoping to seek comfort from him. The least he could do was tell them what the sudden meeting was about.

Although Callum appeared calm, he was looking at Josh.

Sure, Callum was from the same family as Zack, but Josh was closest to Zack.

Josh got up.

“I‘m going to the men‘s,” he said while tipping Callum the wink.

Getting the hint, Callum got to his feet and followed behind Josh before all attendance was accounted for Despite knowing what was going on, Zachary did not stop them.

Zachary stared at the senior executives who were in the meeting room. Josh mentioned that he would drive his employees up the wall when he went mad. Zachary was interested to see how Everybody was at a loss for words.

‘Why are you looking at us like that, Sir?‘

‘What did we do wrong? Please give us a quick and painless death. At least, tell us what we did.’

Callum followed Josh out and caught up to him to ask, “What‘s up with Zack, Josh?”

Josh stopped in his tracks and turned around before whispering a question, “Do you have Serenity‘s mobile number?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Hurry up and call her. Tell her to come here no matter what. Zachary’s crazy jealous right now. This meeting is called at the last minute. Your cousin is going to bite people’s heads off for any uncompleted projects. He’s in a foul mood and taking it out on us.

“The only one who can save us is your cousin’s wife. I believe you won’t want to relive those hellish days again. You’re Mr. York’s cousin. You can’t refute him if he gets on your back, and you still have to face him at home.”

Callum replied hesitantly, “Zachary and his wife were fine during the weekend though. They were all lovey-dovey last night too. What changed overnight?”

“Zachary‘s love rival confessed his feelings to his wife. Of all people, your cousin saw the whole thing, and now he‘s jealous. You might as well get him cans of green paint.”

Callum whipped out his phone. “T‘ll call Serenity now.”

For professional and personal reasons, Callum hoped there was no conflict between Zachary and Serenity.

“I can‘t believe Zachary had his routine disrupted because of Serenity.”

Having found Serenity‘s number, Callum immediately reached her but got the automated response that she was on call.

He helplessly hung up and told Josh, “Serenity‘s line is busy.”

Josh‘s eyes lit up. “Never mind then. Let‘s get back to the meeting room. The meeting should adjourn in less than five minutes.

He bet Serenity was on the line with Zachary.

The last–minute meeting should be over once Serenity soothed Zachary.

Even if the meeting would go on, Josh or Callum would be left to preside over it. Whichever the case, they would be spared a telling–off from Zachary.

LI “My hats off to the missus.”

Zachary was a rather disciplined man. Yet, he threw his routine out the window because of Serenity.

It was a good thing the senior executives were in the dark about the truth. Otherwise, they would be rendered speechless.

Callum shared the same sentiment. “I‘m going to learn from Rowan and cling onto Serenity.”

“I want to hold onto her tightly and don‘t let go too.”

Serenity had no idea there were people wanting to latch onto her. She was stuck in traffic for a while before escaping the road congestion. It took her another ten minutes to get to York Corporation.

Rain was pouring at this point. The temperature dropped even lower.
