“Mr. York, can you stop flaunting your relationship? I have no plans on getting married now.”
Now that Zachary bade his single life goodbye, he should not drag Josh into a married life. For Zachary to persistently show off the perks of having a wife, he was trying to persuade Josh to ditch his wonderful singlehood too.
“Huh? Why did you pick this outfit today?”
Josh’s keen eyes picked up on Zachary not wearing his usual suit label. He asked out of curiosity, “Why the change of brands?”
Zachary was a stubborn man.
He would stick to the same brand for years once he had a penchant for a certain brand. He was not one to switch between labels.
With Zachary’s taste, the price of the suits he wore were exorbitant. However, the one he had on today did not cost more than a few hundred bucks.
This was so unlike Zachary.
Following Zachary’s footsteps, Josh asked with concern,” Mr. York, is our company facing a financial crisis? Are you wearing clothes from the outlet store to save cash?”
To a rich guy like Josh, a suit worth a few hundred bucks was an outlet sale.
Zachary waited until he was in the CEO’s office before addressing Josh’s questioning. “As the administrative executive, you should know whether the company is experiencing a financial crisis. My wife gave me these new clothes. What? Don’t they look good? I think the clothes are great. The fabric is soft on my skin, and the cut fits me well.”
Josh was speechless.
He should not have asked. All Josh got in return was Zachary parading his relationship in his face.
Since the missus gave his boss new clothes, his boss would, of course, gladly accept the gift and put the suit on.
Josh believed that his boss-cum-best-friend was starting to have feelings for his wife. Otherwise , Zachary would never be caught dead in these clothes.
Judging by the look on his boss’s face, it seemed that the man himself had not realized his feelings for his wife.
Now, this was something Josh would not miss for the world
Serenity had no idea what was happening on Zachary’s end. She walked into the bookshop to find her sister’s mother in law and sister in law sitting and waiting for her by the cash register Jasmine poured them each a glass of warm water and placed the drinks in front of them. However, they did not take the drink. With Serenity entering the shop, the mother and daughter scowled grimacingly. Bottling up her anger, Serenity greeted them courteously. “Chelsea, Mrs. Brown, what brings you here?” They came looking for her before she had gone to see them.
“I hope you’re not busy now, Serenity.” The students were already in class when the mother and daughter arrived at the shop.
Seeing that it was not busy here, they believed Serenity’s business was not doing well. They made the right decision to incite Hank to kick Serenity out of the house.
It was unlikely Serenity could earn anything as her business was slow. Besides, the rent in this area was high. She probably did not make enough to cover her rent. It was no wonder Serenity had to make craftworks day and night to sell online. Serenity would still be living on Hank’s dime if he did not kick her out.
Liberty’s lavish spending probably included funding her sister, The implementation of going halves was a good idea. It greatly secured Hank’s interest, Such were the thoughts of Mrs. Brown and her daughter.
“Yes, I’m not busy. What’s the matter, Mrs. Brown?”
Serenity had been nothing but polite. Zachary had a point. It would put her sister on the spot if she had a fallout with the Browns when her sister wanted her marriage to work with Hank.
Chelsea said angrily, “Of course, something is the matter. That’s why we’re here. Your sister hit Hank. What do you have to say about it?”
Serenity nearly burst into an outrage when Chelsea said that in her face. Still, Serenity had class and did not slam the table in front of Chelsea.
She unhurriedly went behind the cash register and sat down before looking Chelsea in the eye and bombarding her with questions, “Chelsea , you mentioned my sister hit my brother-in-law? Did you witness it? Did my sister start it? Did my brother-in-law fight back? How bad was he beaten? Was he hospitalized?” Chelsea replied shamelessly, “So what if Hank started it?
Your sister ought to be taught a lesson, and Hank wanted to discipline her the other day. However, he didn’t want to make your sister look bad since you came over with your husband. We even talked him out of punishing your sister. “Any man would’ve slapped their wives for all the things your sister had done. Your sister deserved a beating for her mistakes. She had the audacity to hit Hank back until he was black and blue. He couldn’t bring himself to go home.
“Serenity, you might be younger than your sister, but you’re married and can stand on your own. Since you’re Liberty’s family, we must discuss the matter with you. You should get your sister to come to our place and apologize to Hank, bearing gifts. She should also have it in writing that she’ll never raise a hand against Hank before taking him home.”
Chelsea’s statement was something else. It was a real eye -opener for Serenity and Jasmine.
Serenity learned that Chelsea was ridiculous when her sister confided in her. Chelsea’s absurdity right now seemed to take the cake.
