Chapter 748

Josh was speechless.

Zachary and Serenity, who were walking in front of them, were exchanging sweet nothings.

Realizing that Josh and Jasmine were not following, Serenity turned her head and noticed that the pair seemed to be arguing.

“Zachary, why do Mr. Bucham and Jasmine look like they’re fighting?”

Zachary glanced at his friend and said lightly, “No, Mr. Bucham has a good temper.”

If the people who were suppressed by Josh before were present, they would be speechless right now.

If Josh’s temper was labeled good, there would be no one in this world with a bad temper.

“Don’t mind them. Let’s go.”

Zachary let Serenity continue holding his arm. The couple was very close.

“Zachary, will your CEO’s wife be coming as well?”

“Why?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to see her. I wonder if I’ll have a chance to talk to her.”

She had to befriend Mrs. York first before she could ask her about her husband- managing skills.

Zachary said calmly, “You’re a step too late. Our CEO and his wife left before your arrived. Every year, he leaves after his speech. He always says that everyone won’t be able to have fun if he stays.”

That was true.

In previous years, Zachary left after giving his speech.

A few of his brothers and Josh would take charge of the dinner by taking turns to host instead.

“We’re too late?” Serenity lamented.

“Jasmine and I kept urging Drake to speed up. We arrived at 7:30 pm, but we still missed them.

“Was the time of the invitation you gave me wrong? Or did you give us a different invitation which stated a different time because you didn’t want us, family members, to hear your CEO’s speech?”

“That’s right.”

Since Serenity gave him a good excuse, Zachary took advantage of it.

It also saved him from having to think about how to explain the wrong time on the invitation.

“Did you see your CEO’s wife?”

Zachary said warmly, “I saw her. She’s really beautiful. As soon as she appeared, she became the most dazzling woman in the room. She had completely charmed our boss.”

“Is she as beautiful as Aphrodite?”

Zachary turned to look at her and smiled. “In his eyes, she’s even more beautiful than Aphrodite.”

Beauty was in the eye of the beholder. In Zachary’s eyes, his Serenity was more beautiful than the goddess of beauty herself.

Serenity laughed. “That’s true. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder indeed. Since your boss loves her, he naturally thinks she’s the most beautiful woman.”

“Seren.”

Zachary leaned into her ear and whispered huskily, “In my eyes, you’re the most beautiful woman in the world. You look so heavenly tonight that I can’t take my eyes off you. I’m starting to regret a little, I shouldn’t have let you come dolled up from head to toe. I want to hide your beauty and tuck you away to appreciate it all by myself.”

“Clothes maketh the man. I put on a new gown and light makeup. If my appearance didn’t improve significantly, it’d be a waste of all the money you spent to buy me the dress.”

Zachary kissed her cheek.

Serenity flinched and quickly pushed him away, whispering angrily, “Behave!”

It was only after they were intimate with each other did Serenity realize how passionate and lascivious he truly was.
