Zachary was in a good mood after asking his wife out on a shopping date later that night. His work efficiency improved greatly.When he responded to a knock on his door, everyone outside could hear that he was in a good mood.Josh pushed the door open and came in.He was not alone. Remy followed Josh in.Remy’s bodyguards were waiting at the door of the office.“Boss, Mr. Johnson is here.”Zachary stopped working, got up, and walked around his desk. “Mr. Johnson.”The two men shook hands as Zachary motioned for Remy to have a seat on the sofa.Mr. Chaplin informed Zachary earlier that Remy was here, but Zachary did not expect Remy and Josh to come in together. Maybe those two met outside.Josh went to pour a glass of water for Remy.After Remy drank the water, Zachary asked in a deep voice, “Mr. Johnson, is there a problem with our cooperation?”An important partner like Remy could see Zachary at any time without an appointment. However, Remy was mostly in contact with Josh.

Zachary said, “I’ve always looked up to Mr. Young-Johnson and was hoping for a chance to meet him. You’ve given me this opportunity.”Remy smiled. “My eldest brother has also admired you for a while, Mr. York.”They exchanged pleasantries.Remy came over to Zachary’s office to deliver his brother’s wedding invitation. Since it had been delivered, Remy did not stay long because he was busy.He said, “Mr. York, Mr. Bucham, I have something else to attend to, so I’ll get going now. If you have time in the evening, we can have dinner together. My treat.”Josh smiled. “I’m fine anytime, but Mr. York might not be free.”Zachary interrupted. “I’ll buy you dinner some other day, Mr. Johnson.”Zachary had plans with his wife tonight.Remy smiled. “Okay, then. I’ll wait for your call.”He stood up.Zachary and Josh both got up and walked Remy out of the office together.“Mr. York, Mr. Bucham, you don’t have to send me off.”Remy stopped at the door of the office and asked the two men

Josh said, “I heard about it even though I wasn’t there. Mrs. Lowe was the one who brought Jasmine to the banquet that time, so she quickly dragged Jasmine away.”Zachary was speechless.He heard Serenity mention occasionally that Jasmine’s family kept urging her to get married. Last time, Serenity even accompanied Jasmine on a blind date at Beans and Cream.Did Jasmine do that at Mrs. Dawson’s birthday party on purpose for the sake of her peace and quiet? That way, her family would not urge her to marry.“Ms. Sox was a sensation for lying on the floor. Everyone in our circle heard about this girl.”Josh smiled. “The girls in our circle won’t just lie on the floor even if they’re drunk because etiquette is engraved in their bones. They will still look elegant when drunk.”After a moment of silence, Zachary asked his friend, “Then do you like an elegant drunk or a wild drunk?”“I haven’t thought about this. But if you really want to arrange a blind date for me, go for it. I’ll me

The people who Serenity cared about the most were her sister and nephew.Pleasing Sonny would earn Zachary some brownie points.Zachary bought the bag of snacks because Serenity was a foodie.Serenity might not be so happy if Zachary gave her a bunch of flowers, but she would definitely smile when she saw this big bag of snacks.Zachary walked into the bookstore with a bag of snacks in his left hand and an airplane model in his right. At that time, Serenity had just finished feeding her nephew a bowl of porridge.“Uncle Zak!”The little guy was overjoyed to see Zachary.Serenity saw the toys that her husband bought and said, “Mr. York, why did you buy toys for Sonny again? Jasmine already bought him new ones.”Zachary handed the bag of snacks to Serenity and gave the airplane toy to Sonny, then he carried the little guy.“Sonny’s our only nephew. Who else can I spoil if not him? What Ms. Sox bought for Sonny is her business. It doesn’t clash with me.”Serenity put the empty b

Serenity said, “Oh, right!”She suddenly thought of her pets and asked Zachary, “What about Snowball and the rest? Should we bring them along?”“Snowball?”Zachary’s eyes turned dark as he thought, ‘Who is Snowball?’“It’s the puppy you gave me. I named it Snowball.”Zachary’s eyes turned gentle instantly.It turned out to be the puppy.He thought he had another love rival he was not aware of.“Seren, if it’s inconvenient, Snowball and the kittens can stay in the store. I’ll bring them back to my house after work and bring them back here tomorrow. I have pets at home too, so I promise I can take good care of them.”Serenity smiled and said, “Great! I’ll leave Snowball and the kittens to you then.”She hugged Jasmine and cooed, “Jas, you’re the best girlfriend in the world!”Jasmine gently pushed her away and said with a smile, “Don’t sweat the small stuff with me. We grew up together. Hurry up, don’t make Mr. York wait for too long.”Only then did Serenity go with Zachary w

Serenity asked, “Liberty, is everything going well?”The Hunt sisters walked toward Zachary’s car while they talked.Liberty smiled. “Did you forget what I used to do back then? Work is pretty easy. I was a little rusty at first, but I got my groove back pretty quickly.”However, Liberty still did not get along with her colleagues.It might be because of the commotion Liberty caused on the day of the interview. Everyone knew that Liberty was acquainted with Mr. Lewis, so they were being nice to her superficially while behind her back, they gossiped she had a relationship with the CEO. The looks that Liberty got from the female staff were indescribable.Liberty accidentally overheard her colleagues talking about her when she was in the bathroom.However, this was only her first day of work. It would eventually get better.“Zachary.”Liberty greeted her brother-in-law as she got in the car.Zachary nodded. His eyes then fell on Serenity. Liberty had been there and done that, so

Liberty winked at her sister, and Serenity understood the underlying meaning.She just wanted to say that Zachary was a good man, and that Serenity should treat him well.Serenity had to admit that although Zachary was sometimes domineering and petty, he was a righteous man when it came to facing difficulties. He was better than a lot of men out there.More importantly, even though their relationship was not based on love, Zachary had been great to Serenity and was doing his best.In order to prove to Liberty that she was treating Zachary well, Serenity kept serving Zachary food by putting them on his plate during the dinner.Zachary relished the food and felt loved.It turned out that the food Serenity put on his plate was extra delicious.Zachary suddenly recalled the time he saw Serenity putting food on Shawn’s plate at Grace’s Diner. Zachary thought, ‘Shawn must’ve been ecstatic at that time, right?‘Hmph, so what? Serenity serving him once doesn’t mean anything!‘Serenity

It was most likely because of Zachary’s guilty conscience and the signed agreement.Zachary decided to find a way to steal the copy of the agreement that Serenity was keeping. Oh, not steal, but just take it back. Stealing sounded horrible. How could the heir to York Corporation steal something? After taking back the agreement, he would destroy it.Zachary, who had no guts to hold his wife’s hand, accompanied his wife as they strolled along the streets all night. By the end of it, Zachary acted as a free porter and got into the car with various shopping bags.At first, Serenity mentioned there was nothing she fancied buying. However, after walking for a bit, she found a galore of things to buy and spent her own money.Zachary wanted to pay for her, but she firmly refused, which frustrated Zachary.At ten o’clock at night, the young couple returned to their small apartment.“Fortunately, I don’t like wearing heels. My feet are so sore after walking for so long.”Serenity slumped
