Fortunately, Serenity owned the bookstore so she could still do the handicrafts during the day. Otherwise, she would not be able to juggle two jobs.
“Where are the two kitties?”
Jasmine asked casually when he saw Serenity’s dog lying obediently at Sonny’s feet, but the two cats were nowhere to be seen.
She added, “Ms. Stone is really supportive. I think the public opinion of Ms. Stone is a bit exaggerated. Maybe they’re just jealous of her good background. They magnify her shortcomings. and keep stepping on her.”
“That’s also possible.”
Serenity also thought that Ms. Stone was immensely easy to get along with and felt that Ms. Stone was a righteous person. Ms. Stone was forthright about her feelings.
She lived a carefree life because of her good background.
Serenity truly enjoyed being friends with Ms. Stone.
Ms. Stone once said that she felt a natural bond with Serenity when they first met. Serenity felt the same way now. “The two kittens are sleeping on the bookshelf.” Serenity pointed to the place where her two cats were sleeping.
Ring ring ring… Serenity’s phone was ringing.
Serenity glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Zachary. She stopped her work and grabbed her phone to answer Zachary’s call.
“Mr. York, what’s the matter?” “Are you busy?”
Zachary was unlike his usual quiet self. This time, he spoke quickly, and his tone seemed less indifferent.
“Well, my online business is doing very well, so I’m rushing some orders.”
Serenity asked, “Aren’t you busy now?” “I’m on a short break, so I thought of calling you.”
Serenity smiled, “I’m flattered, Mr. York. Do you have something to say to me?”
Zachary replied, “I don’t have to socialize tonight. I was wondering if you’d be interested in going shopping with me later?”
Zachary fled after giving Serenity that bouquet. After some thought, he suddenly felt that taking the initiative was not so difficult after all.
Thus, he mustered up the courage to ask his wife out that night.
After giving it a thought, Serenity said, “I was thinking of bringing Sonny to pick Liberty up from work later. If you don’t mind, we can fetch my sister from work and go shopping after dinner.”
“Is Liberty working overtime?”
“She just sent me a message saying that she doesn’t have to work overtime on the first day of work, so she can get off work at half past five.”
Zachary was silent for a moment before he said, “Okay, I’ll pick you up later and we can fetch Liberty from work together. I’ll buy you all dinner.”
“Sure.”
“See you.”
“Okay.”
Zachary did not hang up immediately. He was waiting for Serenity to say something sweet. However, Zachary did not hear any words of affection from
Serenity. Instead she asked, “Mr. York, is there anything else?”
“No, I’ll hang up then.”
Serenity hummed and disconnected the call.
Putting down the phone, Serenity noticed that her friend wast laughing at her. Serenity reached out and poked her friend’s forehead. “What are you laughing at?”
“Seren, you and Mr. York have made some progress! I think he’s interested in you. You two should grasp this opportunity. I’m still waiting to attend your wedding!”
Serenity and Zachary only registered for a marriage license. They neither had a wedding reception nor publicized their relationship. Only the people closest to them knew that the two were married.
“Let’s just go with the flow.”
Serenity did not deliberately pursue Zachary, but if Zachary took the initiative, she would not shy away either.
She did not ta the initiative because she was afraid that Zachary would not love her back, and she would end up getting hurt.
If Zachary took the initiative, Serenity would not avoid it and they could let their feelings develop naturally. That way, they would both fall in love with each other, which would be the best result.
“Ant Swer!”
Sonny got tired of playing by himself, so he got up to walk to Serenity and sat on Serenity’s lap.
“Sonny, you don’t want to play by yourself?”
“I miss Mommy.”
The little guy stepped on Serenity’s lap and stood up, wrapping his arms around Serenity’s neck. “Sonny miss Mommy!”
Usually, when Liberty sent Sonny to Serenity, he could still see his mother at noon. Yet today, he had not seen his mother since he parted from her in the morning.
Sonny missed his mother.
Serenity hugged the little guy and said softly, “I’ll take you to pick up your mommy later, okay?” “Okay.”
Serenity kissed his little face. “Then you should play by yourself for a little while. I’ll take you to see Mommy when I’m done.”
Sonny looked reluctant. He put his arms around Serenity’s neck and did not let go.
Jasmine stood up, stretched out her hand, and coaxed him.” Sonny, come here! Aunt Jas will take you out to play.” Sonny thought about it for a while. He then let go of Serenity’s neck, turned around, stretched out his arms to let Jasmine carry him.
“Seren, hurry up and finish your orders. When Mr. York comes over, you can take Sonny to Liberty’s office. I’ll man the store tonight.”
Jasmine then brought Sonny out to play. When Serenity’s dog saw Sonny being carried away by Jasmine, it followed them. “Jasmine, Snowball is following you.”
The dog had pure white fur, so Serenity named it Snowball.
Jasmine stopped and waited for Snowball to catch up, then the three of them went out to play.
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. So when Remy came to Zachary’s office to see him this time, Zachary thought that there was a problem with the cooperation between the two companies. Remy said with a smile, “Mr. York, there’s no problem with our
cooperation. It’s going very well. I came here this time to deliver an invitation to you on behalf of my eldest brother and sister–in law.”
Hearing this, Zachary smiled. “Is Mr. Young–Johnson holding a wedding reception? Is everything with the Lafayettes in Meadspring settled?”
“Yes, it’s over. My brother and sister–in–law came back from Meadspring to attend President Ormond’s wedding. Their wedding date was set a long time ago. My brother’s wedding is after his brother–in–law’s wedding, so it’s time to send out the invitations.”
