They’re ready to serve.”Zachary neither refused nor explicitly agreed. He pursed his thin lips and asked in a low voice, “Why did you buy so much seafood?”That was because he did not receive any notice of expenditure from the bank. Did Serenity buy all the seafood from her own pockets?Although they were at an impasse, Zachary still felt that it was his duty as a husband to support the family.“How much did they cost? I’ll transfer the money to you later. I agreed to pay for the living expenses.”Serenity turned to look at the seafood feast she prepared. She then smiled and explained, “It didn’t cost a cent. Ms. Stone brought these back from her beach vacation and gave me aplenty. When you send Nana home later, you can bring some back t

Seeing that Zachary had not left yet, Serenity turned his head and asked him, “What’s wrong?”Zachary pursed his lips and said, “Nothing… I’ll go back to the office first.”“Okay.” Serenity responded casually, then turned her head back to cleaning the dishes.After taking a long stare at Serenity’s back, Zachary turned around and walked out of the kitchen.Grandma May was playing with Sonny. When she saw her grandson coming out of the kitchen, she looked displeased and said, “Zack, why didn’t you help Serenity with the dishes?

“Liberty's fat and ugly. She’ll only embarrass me if I take her there. Everyone will laugh at me.”After Hank finished speaking, he pinched Jessica’s pretty face and praised her, “How can she compare to you, Jessica? You’re the apple of my eye now, and I don’t have any feelings for her anymore.“I can’t forgive her for chasing me down the block with a kitchen knife. Although she apologized and treated me better than before, I just couldn’t forgive her. If I didn’t run fast enough that day, she would’ve stabbed me to death!“She’s vicious. I’ve known her for so many years and only realized how vicious she was that day. If it wasn’t for Sonny, I wouldn’t want to go back to that house. Besides, my mother and my sister mentioned that I bought the house before marriage where I paid the down payment and am paying the mortgage, so why should I let her live there?“She doesn’t have a good relationship with my family. Jessica, you’ve met my parents and sister. What do you think of them?”J

Hank immediately stopped working and brought Jessica out.He was the manager, and Jessica was his secretary. Usually, Hank would take Jessica with him whenever he went out for business, so no one would say anything when the two of them left the office together.The janitor saw Hank driving away with Jessica at the entrance of the office and said to an old security guard, “Mr. Brown and Ms. Yates go in and out together all day long. Is Liberty not worried that Mr. Brown will cheat on her?”Liberty used to work in the same office as Hank, so the old employees still remembered her.The old security guard looked at the janitor oddly.After looking around to make sure that no one else was there, the security guard lowered his voice and said to the janitor, “You clean the office every day and go through the whole building. Don’t you know what happened? Mr. Brown and Ms. Yates are having an affair. How could you not know about it?”The janitor was surprised and asked with interest, “How

In the evening, when the work day was about to end, Josh knocked on the door to the CEO’s office and entered, carrying a stack of documents in his arms.Zachary raised his head and eyed him for a second before he returned to his work. After Josh sat down, Zachary remarked, “What use is your secretary?”“She’s pregnant! I’m being considerate of her. I don’t want her to run back and forth and tire herself out. Her husband might come looking for me then. So I did it myself.”Josh placed the stack of documents in front of his good friend.“I’ve looked through them. There’s no problem with them, so you just have to sign them.”After he set the documents down, he got up to pour himself a glass of water. He sat back down and proceeded to drink his water while looking at the man sitting opposite him.Zachary was extremely handsome. Even if his face was tense all day in a cold and serious expression, it wasn’t enough to mask his handsome exterior.In this age and day where looks were eve

“Want to come along?”No matter where it was, wherever Zachary lived, there would be a large collection of fine wines.“No, thanks. I’m scared of getting drunk again. When you get drunk, you have your wife to take care of you. I am but a single dog. No one would take care of me even if I got alcohol poisoning and died.”“You make yourself seem so pitiful. You could go on a blind date too and have a shotgun marriage to get a wife to take care of you.”Josh chuckled. “With you as a precedent, I think I’d better obediently wait for my fate to come around.”“What’s wrong with me? I’m doing just fine!”“Sure, sure. You’re doing just fine. So much so that your expression hasn’t warmed a single degree for the past few days. Your work efficiency has increased a lot, but you’ve made life harder for those under you. These few days, more and more people have automatically volunteered to work overtime even into the wee hours.”York Corporation would not force its employees to work overtime.
