“You’re a manager in the company, yet you barely have the chance to meet your boss. Your boss is truly… unattainable and mysterious,” Serenity said.There were no photos of Mr. York on the internet.Mr. York was followed around by a security squad. Last time at the dinner party, there were so many tall and brawny bodyguards surrounding him to the point where Serenity and Jasmine could not catch a glimpse of Mr. York’s face even when they tiptoed.Now knowing that Zachary who was a white-collar employee in York Corporation and yet he rarely saw Mr. York, Serenity felt much better about herself.Zachary did not carry on with the conversation.He did not care what others say about him and acted according to his own wishes.The couple chatted about Mr. York and returned to their block.Zachary’s bodyguards wandered nearby. Although they did not follow Zachary and Serenity closely, the guards were always watching the young couple and kept them within range of vision, wherever they we

Zachary finally felt the benefits of being married.He left for work with the insulated lunch box.While on the way to the office in the car, he savored the breakfast that his wife prepared for him with love.He ate it with much gusto and felt satisfied.The driver and the bodyguard who sat in the same car as Zachary were a little puzzled. The breakfast Serenity prepared was extremely simple, yet the picky Zachary relished it. Perhaps, Serenity’s cooking skills were excellent.After Zachary left, Serenity routinely called her sister and left the house knowing that her sister was fine.When she got out, it was already rush hour, so there was traffic congestion which eventually got heavier as she was halfway into her journey.Many who were rushing for work were feeling utterly anxious till they almost went berserk.Elisa Stone was one of them.While her brother and sister-in-law were behaving lovey-dovey during breakfast, Elisa quietly slipped out of the house and secretly packe

Serenity was unaffected by the traffic congestion as she rode her electric bike.It took more than ten minutes to arrive at York Corporation.She stopped the bike and turned to Elisa and said, “We’re here, Miss.”Elisa returned the helmet to Serenity and thanked her.“It’s just a small favor. No need to thank me.”Elisa looked at her and asked, “May I know what’s your name? You look really familiar for some reason. Have we met before?”“My last name is Hunt. I also quite like you, Miss. Unfortunately, we’ve never met before.”Beautiful women had always left an impression on her, but she had no recollection of this lady.“Your last name is Hunt? Oh, I remember now. There was news about an unfilial granddaughter that went viral before. The granddaughter’s last name was also Hunt, and there was a photo attached as well. I think you look a bit like one of the little girls in the photo. Was that you?”The “unfilial granddaughter” news had left a deep impression on Elisa, and she re

Elisa did not want to owe Serenity a favor, but also because she felt she could hit it off with Serenity. Thus, she gave the latter her business card.Serenity also saw the line of luxury cars and said understandingly, “You should get going, Ms. Stone. I wish you all the best.”“Thank you.”Elisa hugged the bouquet and carried the insulated lunch box. Instead of running toward the luxury cars, she went straight to the building’s entrance and stood in the middle of the gate.Serenity was dumbfounded.Ms. Stone was truly formidable.Zachary was late to arrive at the office. Although he left early today, he had to drop by the villa to get something. After leaving the villa, the car drove for a short while before getting stuck in a traffic jam. Regardless of the car one drove or the people in the car, it was equal in the eyes of a morning rush congestion; nobody could get away with it.The bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat happened to be Jim, who had brilliant eyesight. He saw

Elisa blocked the entrance to the building, so the driver had no choice but to stop the car.“Mr. Zachary, shall I go down and pull Ms. Stone away?” The driver turned his head and asked for Zachary’s instruction.After a moment of silence, Zachary wound down the car window.As soon as Elisa saw his window down, she was overjoyed and immediately bounced over, carrying the bouquet of flowers and an insulated lunch box.“Zachary.” She finally met the man she had been longing for. Although she often came here to profess her love, the truth was she had not seen him in person for a long time.She missed him so much!He still had the same cold look, but he was still the most handsome man in her mind.Her gaze trickled down to his tightly pursed lips, and she felt the urge to give him a kiss or two.She wondered how soft his lips would be.Elisa looked at Zachary like he was her prey and that made him frown.“Ms. Stone.”“Zachary, just call me Elisa.”Elisa smiled brightly and stuf

“I ate in the car.”Josh was speechless.“By the way, I saw something interesting earlier. Do you want to hear about it?”Zachary gave him a look and walked ahead. His handsome face remained expressionless, and his lips pursed into a line as he stayed silent.Josh hated that attitude, but he could not stop his chatty mouth from saying, “I arrived early and just so happened saw your missus send Ms. Stone here, so I stopped to figure out what was going on.“Before your car arrived at the company, your missus and Ms. Stone chatted rather amicably. Boss, your wife and admirer seem to like each other and are ready to be good friends. What do you think of it?”Zachary could not be bothered to even look at Josh, so he simply entered the elevator, leaving behind the chatty administrative executive.Josh did not get angry either and chuckled in his heart, ‘This will definitely be the drama-of-the-year.’He really wanted to know what Serenity Hunt would do if his boss’s identity was reve

“Good. It’s best if they all lose their jobs and then get cursed to death by everyone. Let them have a taste of what Internet violence is like. They’re completely inhumane.”Although Elisa was a little unruly, she was still somewhat virtuous.Furthermore, she was very fond of Serenity, so she was willing to avenge Serenity.‘Think of it as returning the favor.‘After all, it’s because she sent me to York Corporation that I was able to see Zachary today. He even talked to me.’“Clive, I’m going home to accompany Mom. You get back to work,” Elisa was done talking and hung up the phone.She did not want to take up more of her brother’s precious time.The old Stone residence was not far from the old York residence, but they were on different routes.If they were on the same route, Elisa would have blocked Zachary’s car on his way home. Well, Zachary rarely went back to the old York residence anyway, so it would be hard for her to block the road even if they were on the same path.

Darrell did not even know if his sister-in-law was dead or alive.“Maybe we’ll run into your sister or her children by chance if we go out on a vacation.”After a moment of silence, Audrey said, “My sister was still so young when we separated. Women go through drastic changes from how they were when they were little. Even if I happen to meet her children, who knows if I’ll be able to recognize them as my niece or nephews?”“Come on, let’s go for a holiday!”Not being able to brush off her daughter’s thoughtfulness, Audrey roused her spirits and agreed to go on a beach vacation with Elisa.Seeing that her mother agreed, Elisa exchanged a glance with her father, then thought of other topics to talk to her mother about. As she chattered, she brought up today’s events.She said happily, “Mom, I saw Zachary today. He stopped the car and even wound down the window to talk to me. Unfortunately, the bouquet I stuffed into his car was thrown out by him.”Audrey was speechless.“I also m
