Chapter 574

After listening to a day of gossip about Mr. York’s marriage and wife–doting tendencies, Serenity applied a facial mask in front of the dressing table at night and said to Zachary, “All I hear is stories about your boss today.”

With his game face on, Zachary asked, “Oh. What about?”

“You don’t know?”

Serenity turned over to look at him. “Your boss made a public announcement that he’s married, but no one knows who his wife is. Elisa said that caused quite a stir among the higher society.

“Zachary, you work at York Corporation. Do you have any firsthand news about the identity of your boss’s wife?

“I heard the press waited in front of your office building for a long time but had to leave with nothing.”

Pulling a chair over, Zachary sat next to his wife and watched as Serenity put on the facial mask. He grabbed the mask packing for a look at the brand. It was a good and expensive brand.

“Elisa gave it to me. I hardly apply facial masks, but I thought I should try it out tonight.”

Zachary furrowed his brows and said, “Don’t use the skincare products Ms. Stone gives you. Let me know the brand you often use. I’ll get the products for you.”

“Elisa gave me a lot. It’ll be a waste not to use them. Elisa’s a girl. Are you jealous of women too?”

Zachary extended his arm to prod her face. “I’ll be jealous of anyone who takes away your attention and when you don’t put me first.”

“Hehe. Who was it that said he doesn’t know what jealousy is?”

Zachary was rendered speechless.

“Come on, Zachary. Tell me who your boss married.”

Zachary replied amusedly, “I thought you weren’t interested in my boss’s affairs.”

“I can’t say that I’m not interested, I just didn’t make attempts to pry. Your boss and I are from two different worlds. You barely see your boss even though you work at York Corporation, much less me. I probably will never meet him.

“That’s why I can’t be bothered to ask about his gossip. It’s quite the commotion this time, so I thought I should ask.

“Most importantly, Elisa wants to know who his wife is.”

Zachary inquired warily, “Why does Ms. Stone want to know? Is she planning mischief against my boss’s wife?”

Serenity glared at him. “Don’t say that about Elisa. She’s not ill in nature. She’s a nice girl, but things are not meant to be between her and your CEO.

“Elisa mentioned that she would move on and stop harassing Mr. York if he’s married or has a steady girlfriend. True enough, she stuck to her words. God knows how many times Elisa cried after finding out your CEO is married.

“She’d rather dwell in her agony than be all over Mr. York. That act alone puts her above thousands.”

Serenity sighed. “I even gave Elisa ideas to chase after Mr. York. She wanted me to be the bride’s maid should she marry Mr. York. Who knew… What’s up with Mr. York anyway? He could’ve announced his marriage sooner so Elisa didn’t have to wait until now to get over him.

“I nearly helped Elisa to ruin someone’s marriage.”

Zachary twitched by the corners of his lips. It had not been long since he and Serenity got married.

Sure, he was single back then.

“Elisa wants to find out who Mr. York’s wife is, not because she wants to do something, but she wants.

closure in knowing who she lost to.”

After a long silence, Zachary remarked, “I told you before. Only Mr. Bucham has an idea about the CEO’s private affairs. However, it’s true that the CEO adores his wife.”

“How much does he adore his wife? I keep hearing that, but it would be great to get some examples of his uxorious ways.”

Zachary opened his mouth, but no words escaped his lips.

Serenity muttered to herself, “But he shields his wife and keeps her away from the public eye. It’s apparent that he’s good to his wife. I didn’t know Mr. York has a lot of influence. I only got to know the magnitude of it after listening to the gossip about him all day.

“It’s good that he wants his wife to remain anonymous in case people would stalk her. His admirers might go to the extreme and harm his wife.”

Zachary gave a heavy nod. “Yeah. The CEO refuses to show the world who his wife is as a protective measure.”

While Serenity was not looking, Zachary discreetly lifted his arm to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead.
