Chapter 628
Married at First Sight
Josh had no words.
He commented, âWhatâs up with you two? You were getting along just fine and giving us front-row seats to your public display of affection, but now another fight broke out. No wonder Serenity went to a bar. It was all because of you.â
Zachary replied, âLook into where they are right now and how long theyâve been there. Are they drunk?
Give me a reply if you hear anything back.â
âAlright. Iâll get right to it.â
Josh swiftly hung up the call and dove into investigating the girlsâ whereabouts.
While waiting for an answer, Zachary contacted his private plane crew and instructed them, âPrepare to fly back. I want to return to Wiltspoon in a few minutes.â
He did not want Serenity to drop him off at the airport when he needed to go away for business. One reason was he had to return to the office, and the second was he did not have a plane ticket ready.
Zachary took a private plane abroad.
Following Zacharyâs last-minute notice, the crew started flight preparations.
After taking care of his arrangements, Zachary started to call Serenity.
Serenity, Jasmine, and her younger brother, Drake, were having a blast at the bar.
Since Drake could not drink, he sat in a corner and watched the two ladies take one drink after another.
Serenity, in particular, was just downing drinks.
He had to say something, âSerenity, donât drink too much. Youâre looking rather red in the face. I donât think you can handle that much liquor. Youâre going to get wasted.â
Serenity answered with a smile, âAlcohol is the answer to all your problems. I want to get drunk for a change and forget about Zachary!â
Drake looked at his sister.
Patting her brother on the shoulder, Jasmine said, âSerenityâs feeling down. Iâm under orders to drink with. her tonight. Just watch us. Donât try to talk her out of it. Let her drink her problems away.
Tomorrow, sheâll wake up with a horrible headache, sores, and an awful feeling in the gut. Thatâs her problem for drowning. her sorrows.â
Î Drake was speechless.
Serenity hooked her arm over her best friendâs shoulder. âYou know me best, Jas. Today, we drink.
Weâll leave the worries until tomorrow.â
She did not want to think about the consequences of getting drunk.
Serenity was feeling depressed.
She could keep all her emotions under wraps during the day.
However, like many others who unleashed their madness in the bar, Serenity could not hold in the pent-
up emotions and proceeded to free her hair.
Ring, ringâ¦
Serenityâs phone rang.
âIt might be my sister.â
Serenity gestured for Jasmine and her brother to keep it down as she whipped out her phone. It was Zachary. Furrowing her brows, she handed the phone to Jasmine and let out a hiccup before asking her best friend, âJas, the petty guy is calling me now.
âHe wonât even take my calls or answer my texts. Should I even take his call?â
Although Jasmine had a couple of drinks, she was still lucid. Jasmine replied, âYou decide whether you want to take or decline the call. I canât decide for you.â
Zachary would blame her if he were to find out. Jasmine would not be able to talk her way out of it.
âNo. He should get a taste of rejection.â
Serenity rejected Zacharyâs call.
Nevertheless, Zachary immediately dialed her number again.
She terminated the call once more.
Zachary called, and she hung up.
After several times, Zachary appeared rather grimacing.
