Chapter 575
Married at First Sight
âSeren, are Mrs. Stoneâs and your DNA test results nearly out?â
Zachary decisively changed the subject to end the gossip about himself He was only flaunting his relationship to announce his marriage on Facebook. It never crossed his mind that it would bring about a stir that occupied his wifeâs day with gossip.
âElisa said theyâll collect the results tomorrow.â
âOh.â Zachary quickly added, âYouâll meet them again if the results show youâre related to Mrs. Stone I might not be able to go with you to the Stonesâ house Iâm going away on business tomorrowâ
Serenity picked her head up to meet his eyes. âI thought you didnât have to do business tripsâ
Zachary stared at her in silence He knew it; she looked forward to him leaving soon Zachary was scared that she would forget who he was when he returned from his trip.
âHave you booked the flight yet? What time is the flight? IâW drive you to the airport âIâll get up early tomorrow to pack for you â
Serenity believed she was rather considerate to pack his things and see him off at the airport for his business trip.
âIâm taking the 10:35 AM flight. No need to drive me to the airport. I need to head to the office to pick up some paperwork before leaving with a colleague. The company arranged for an airport transfer â
âOh.â That would save her the trouble âSend me a text message when you get the DNA test results. Iâll be busy during the trip, so Iâll only have time late at night to read the messages. I wonât miss your messages.
âOkay. Iâll text you when I get the resultsâ
H Zachary specifically mentioned his busy work schedule during the trip in case Serenity would call him while Elisa was around during the day.
âThat reminds me, should we give Jasmine and Mr. Bucham a nudge? Jasmine said Mr. Bucham was out of her league when she found out about his position in the company.â
Zachary replied, âThatâs between them. Let them decide how they want to progress with this relationship. We can only set up the initial date and not anything else.â
Serenity smiled. âYou got a point. Weâll see where the relationship takes them, but I think they look good together. Iâm rooting for things to work between them.â
Jasmine was not that into Josh.
Josh was probably swamped with work to make the first move.
He did give Jasmine a call and urged her to drink more water when she was sick.
âI have another candidate to introduce to Ms. Sox if thereâs no chemistry between her and Mr.
Bucham.â
Serenity asked with concern, âIs the person better than Mr. Bucham?â
âYou can say that, but Mr. Bucham fares better at a fistfight than him. The person isnât great at self-
defense, so he goes around with a team of security. Heâs an important client of my company. The only thing is that his home is a little far and not in Wiltspoon.â
The person Zachary had in mind was Remy.
He was the younger brother of Ben Young-Johnson, CEO of FC & Co., in Annenburg.
Remy was in charge of the Wiltspoon branch of FC & Co. As Zachary had engaged in business with Remy many times and got to know him, he believed Remy was a dependable man.
âJasmine wonât consider him if heâs not from Wiltspoon. The important client must be a rich boy since you said he travels with a security team. Jasmine doesnât want to marry into a wealthy and influential family.â
Zachary smiled. âHeâs rich for sure. We can forget about it if Ms. Sox wonât consider the rich and powerful. As a matter of fact, others see Ms. Sox as an heiress since her family owns a lot of assets.
The Soxes have wealth that many will never see despite working their whole lives.â
The locals who struck it rich from the property boom did not see themselves as wealthy. They would continue living like ordinary people, riding their bicycles or e-bikes to work and taking on menial jobs like cleaning and patrolling premises.
They did not like to dress up and often went out in their loafers.
