Filed to story: The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel
“Elisa wants to find out who Mr. York’s wife is, not because she wants to do something, but she wants. closure in knowing who she lost to.”
After a long silence, Zachary remarked, “I told you before. Only Mr. Bucham has an idea about the CEO’s private affairs. However, it’s true that the CEO adores his wife.”
“How much does he adore his wife? I keep hearing that, but it would be great to get some examples of his uxorious ways.”
Zachary opened his mouth, but no words escaped his lips.
Serenity muttered to herself, “But he shields his wife and keeps her away from the public eye. It’s
apparent that he’s good to his wife. I didn’t know Mr. York has a lot of influence. I only got to know the magnitude of it after listening to the gossip about him all day.
“It’s good that he wants his wife to remain anonymous in case people would stalk her. His admirers might go to the extreme and harm his wife.”
Zachary gave a heavy nod. “Yeah. The CEO refuses to show the world who his wife is as a protective measure.”
While Serenity was not looking, Zachary discreetly lifted his arm to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead.
“Seren, are Mrs. Stone’s and your DNA test results nearly out?”
Zachary decisively changed the subject to end the gossip about himself
He was only flaunting his relationship to announce his marriage on Facebook. It never crossed his mind that it would bring about a stir that occupied his wife’s day with gossip.
“Elisa said they’ll collect the results tomorrow.”
“Oh.” Zachary quickly added, “You’ll meet them again if the results show you’re related to Mrs. Stone I might not be able to go with you to the Stones’ house I’m going away on business tomorrow”
Serenity picked her head up to meet his eyes. “I thought you didn’t have to do business trips”
Zachary stared at her in silence
He knew it; she looked forward to him leaving soon
Zachary was scared that she would forget who he was when he returned from his trip.
“Have you booked the flight yet? What time is the flight? I’W drive you to the airport
“I’ll get up early tomorrow to pack for you ”
Serenity believed she was rather considerate to pack his things and see him off at the airport for his business trip.
“I’m taking the 10:35 AM flight. No need to drive me to the airport. I need to head to the office to pick up some paperwork before leaving with a colleague. The company arranged for an airport transfer ”
“Oh.” That would save her the trouble
“Send me a text message when you get the DNA test results. I’ll be busy during the trip, so I’ll only have time late at night to read the messages. I won’t miss your messages.
“Okay. I’ll text you when I get the results”
Zachary specifically mentioned his busy work schedule during the trip in case Serenity would call him while Elisa was around during the day.
“That reminds me, should we give Jasmine and Mr. Bucham a nudge? Jasmine said Mr. Bucham was out of her league when she found out about his position in the company.”
Zachary replied, “That’s between them. Let them decide how they want to progress with this relationship. We can only set up the initial date and not anything else.”
Serenity smiled. “You got a point. We’ll see where the relationship takes them, but I think they look good together. I’m rooting for things to work between them.”
Jasmine was not that into Josh.
Josh was probably swamped with work to make the first move.
He did give Jasmine a call and urged her to drink more water when she was sick.
“I have another candidate to introduce to Ms. Sox if there’s no chemistry between her and Mr. Bucham.”
Serenity asked with concern, “Is the person better than Mr. Bucham?”
“You can say that, but Mr. Bucham fares better at a fistfight than him. The person isn’t great at self-
defense, so he goes around with a team of security. He’s an important client of my company. The only thing is that his home is a little far and not in Wiltspoon.”
The person Zachary had in mind was Remy.
He was the younger brother of Ben Young-Johnson, CEO of FC & Co., in Annenburg.
Remy was in charge of the Wiltspoon branch of FC & Co. As Zachary had engaged in business with Remy many times and got to know him, he believed Remy was a dependable man.
“Jasmine won’t consider him if he’s not from Wiltspoon. The important client must be a rich boy since you said he travels with a security team. Jasmine doesn’t want to marry into a wealthy and influential family.”
Zachary smiled. “He’s rich for sure. We can forget about it if Ms. Sox won’t consider the rich and powerful. As a matter of fact, others see Ms. Sox as an heiress since her family owns a lot of assets. The Soxes have wealth that many will never see despite working their whole lives.”
The locals who struck it rich from the property boom did not see themselves as wealthy. They would continue living like ordinary people, riding their bicycles or e-bikes to work and taking on menial jobs like cleaning and patrolling premises.
They did not like to dress up and often went out in their loafers.
Unexpectedly, the Soxes had many buildings up for lease and they received a boatload of rental fees
That was how the Sox family turned wealthy
“Let Jasmine and Mr Bucham develop on their own I think a spark will ignite between them when they’re
familiar with each other.”
Ever since Serenity heard some stuff about Josh from Jasmine, she felt that Jasmine and Josh were two peas in a pod. They both liked lively places, and Josh was able to experience tons of drama firsthand
“I asked Mr. Bucham He is quite impressed by Ms Sox, so give him a little time and he’ll make more initiative. It’s almost New Year, and everyone in our company will be busier than usual, let alone people in positions like Mr Bucham. He’ll have time to deal with his private and emotional affairs during the holidays.”
During Zachary’s business trip, Josh and Callum would have to run the company, so they would undoubtedly be busy.
Serenity hummed She also did not want Jasmine to marry far away if Jasmine and Josh got together, it was good for Zachary too since the latter would be able ride on Josh’s coattails He would get a promotion and salary increase, bringing greater wealth to their small family
Uh, that would make it seem as if she was selling her friend out for money
The husband and wife chatted about matchmaking, and when it was time for Serenity to remove her mask, she got up and went to the bathroom.
