Liberty uttered gratefully, “Seren, Zachary is a good man. You‘re right about him. He‘s always by your side whenever it gets tough for us. He spared no resources and effort to help us. Be a good wife to him.”
Serenity replied, “I will, Liberty.”
Her sister would be upset if Serenity were to tell her that her marriage with Zachary was only for six months. They were only a married couple by name.
Serenity should keep it from her sister for now. “Don‘t lose faith in Zachary because of my marriage. Although Zachary doesn‘t talk much, he prefers action over words.”
“I won‘t.”
Liberty was worried that her marriage might have a bad influence on her sister‘s mindset and marriage. The way Liberty saw it, Zachary was a great man.
He was good to her sister.
Well, no one would know whether it would change in the future. Hank was good to her in the past too.
Zachary got to the office and was about to get the secretary to summon Josh over when Josh knocked and entered the room.
“Boss, this is the proof you want.”
Josh drew close and placed a large envelope in front of Zachary. Taking a seat, Josh said, “It‘s all in there. Hank’s
lover is his secretary, Jessica Yates.”
Zachary took the envelope and pulled out the evidence inside. As Jessica left Hank hanging, the pair had not spent the night in a hotel yet. There were only photographs of them shopping, having dinners, and making out.
Jessica‘s personal data and proof of Hank‘s spending on her were also attached.
The Buchams‘ information network sure spread far and wide. There was photographic evidence of the gifts, price tags, and time stamps of the purchases Hank bought for Jessica. After reading the file, Zachary scowled and replied, “Hank gave his wife three thousand bucks a month for living expenses, and that was before proposing going halves. He‘s now only forking out a thousand and five hundred dollars to pay for the cost of living. “But the cheapest pair of earrings he bought for Jessica was a few thousand bucks. He only takes Jessica to fine dining too.”
Zachary‘s mind harked back to the day of his marriage to Serenity. Serenity had asked whether they should pay their own share of living expenses. He declined, saying that he would provide for her financially since they were married.
Hank must have asked to go Dutch with Liberty during that time.
Josh responded, “Since Hank is no longer faithful, he won’t spend money on your sister-in–law. He‘ll do whatever his lover wants to please her.”
This was a similarity among many cheating men. They were stingy with their wives but generous toward their lovers.
That was why many women should treat themselves after marriage. There was no point in saving money for their husbands as their husbands would spend the money on someone else.
A wife would scrimp and save for their families, knowing that it was her husband‘s hard–earned cash. Yet, she would be in the dark about her husband splurging on his mistress.
With that in mind, Zachary pulled a long face and stopped talking
Josh got up to pour himself a glass of water. After downing half a glass, he asked his best friend, “What does your sister–in –law intend to do? Just let me know if you need help. For Serenity‘s sake, I won‘t let her be on the losing end.
“Why don‘t you come clean about your identity? It‘ll be easier to get things done.” Zachary fell silent before replying, “I have a six–month agreement with her.”
Ultimately, Zachary was not that into Serenity.
It had been less than two months since they got married. He would be lying if he said he was madly in love with Serenity.
“Serenity and her sister are not the types to bite their tongues and accept compromises. My sister–in–law will want a divorce. All she needs now is a job. She can fight for custody of her son once she has a job and an income.”
Zachary was aware that Liberty had been job hunting for a while, but she got nothing so far.
It was difficult as Liberty wanted her old job back. This was the reason she had not been able to find a job till this day.
Now that she had found out Hank was cheating on her, Liberty would not be fussy with work. Zachary believed she would soon find a job.
“This is easy. You could just give her a job.”
“Serenity had asked me whether our company is hiring a finance director, but even the finance department is at full workforce at the moment. Besides, it‘s not the best idea to hire her sister unless I want to blow my cover. I didn‘t help her with that and left Liberty to find a job herself.”
Zachary did not feel guilty for not assigning Liberty a post in his company.
He was a boss with principles who valued talent.
Liberty took a three–year–long career break, so she was rusty in the work operation. It was not easy to get into York Corporation, to begin with. Since Liberty was starting over now, her credentials would not make it past York Corporation. He had a rule against nepotism, giving privileges and pulling strings for undeserving applicants to join his company. Zachary had made a lot of exceptions for Serenity in life, but he refused to extend the same to her in terms of work and give her sister a job.
He would welcome Liberty with open arms to York Corporation should the latter meet all of the company‘s requirements one day.
Nevertheless, there was no way he was going to give Liberty a free pass.
Josh kept quiet for a moment before uttering, “Can‘t she go for another job? The role of a finance director is only available in major corporations. Those positions are usually filled immediately.”
“She will.”
Zachary stuffed the evidence back into the envelope and placed it in his drawer. He planned to deliver the file to Serenity in the afternoon.
“Have you kissed and made up with your wife?” Nosy and concerned, Josh asked. Zachary looked at him without saying a word.
