Serenity was excited and asked, “Is it your colleague? Jasmine’s mother and aunt had always wanted her to marry into a wealthy family, but Jasmine doesn’t want to. She feels that life in a rich family isn’t as good as we imagine it to be. She said that her aunt suffered a lot when she first got married into the Lowe family. It took her aunt a lorg time before she made a name for herself.
“Your company is the largest in Wiltspoon, and everyone says that those who can work at York Corporation are the best among the elites, so your colleague must be extremely capable. Please tell me more about him. If he’s suitable for Jasmine, I can help introduce them.”
Serenity was thrilled to be a matchmaker for her friend.
“He’s my colleague. He and I are close. He’s the same age as me, and he’s from a good family. His income is pretty high. He’s honest to a fault, and doesn’t have any bad habits. Sometimes, he drinks for work events, but he doesn’t get drunk.
“He’s also exceptionally good–looking, tall, and muscular. He never had time to date because of his busy schedule, and his family is anxious about his marriage too.”
Serenity heard this and thought that Zachary‘s colleague was decent. She asked, “Does he have any shortcomings?”
Zachary was silent for a while before replying softly, “He‘s just a bit talkative. He has a thing for drama and gossip.”
Serenity was speechless.
She thought she could help her friend find the perfect man.
However, the old saying was right, “nothing is perfect”. Human beings would always have shortcomings. They suddenly fell into an awkward silence. After a while, Serenity smiled sheepishly and said, “Well, that just means he‘s eloquent. Having a thing for drama and gossip is something that many people have. Well, I think it‘s a common flaw. I‘ll ask Jasmine what she thinks about this tomorrow. If she‘s willing to meet him, I‘ll let you know. “Then you can arrange for your colleague to meet Jasmine and see if both of them can get along. Zachary nodded, “Okay.” “By the way, is your colleague from Wiltspoon? Jasmine won‘t move out of Wiltspoon, so if he‘s from out of town, don‘t bother.”
The Soxes would not agree to Jasmine moving far away. “He‘s from Wiltspoon. Ms. Sox is your best friend, so I‘ll definitely introduce the best colleague I can think of to her. My colleague doesn‘t have any flaws aside from being talkative and having a thing for gossip. He‘s an eligible bachelor.”
Serenity believed that Zachary bore well intentions. He would never introduce bad men to her friend.
A few moments later, Serenity said, “After listening to what you‘ve said about your colleague, I think he‘s better than all the blind dates Jasmine had gone to. I‘ll ask her what she thinks tomorrow.
“It‘s late now, Mr. York. I‘m going back to my room to wash up and sleep.” Serenity was exhausted from shopping. Zachary got up as well and said faintly, “Oh, good night.”
Serenity replied with a good night and went into her room. She could not be bothered to even put away the things she bought from shopping and planned to leave them for tomorrow morning.
Seeing how she went straight into the room without any intention to stay, Zachary stood where he was and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he walked out to the balcony, sat down on the swing, quietly looking at the night sky and wondering how both of them would go on in the future.
Zachary was used to sleeping late, so he sat at the balcony until past eleven o‘clock before returning to his territory.
The husband and wife lived in the same house, but they stayed separately. He did not enter her room, and neither would she step into his territory. Once the doors of the two rooms were closed, it was as if they had nothing to do with each other.
It was Zachary himself who had caused this.
The night passed without another word. The next day, Serenity woke up at her usual time.
She habitually went to the balcony to tend to her flowers.
Then, she saw some tiny ants on the balcony. When she bent down to have a closer look and followed the ant trail, she traced it back to them crawling out from several potted flowers.
She realized why there were so many ants in the area.
It was because the ants hatched from their eggs in the soil since she had not used any pesticide when she made a garden out of the balcony
She usually watered the flowers without bending down, so she did not notice there were ants in the flower pots.
After watering the plants, she took her purse and went out to the market to buy groceries for a home–cooked lunch later in the store. She also bought a few packs of ant repellent and sprinkled them in the flower pots.
In the future, Sue had to diligently kill insects and ants for her flowers, lest the pests go out of control.
Serenity was at the market for half an hour and came back with several bags of groceries.
When she went upstairs, she found a middle–aged woman standing in front of her house. The woman was pulling out her cell phone, seemingly wanting to make a call. “Madam.”
Serenity walked over and called out to the woman, who was startled by her greeting. She smiled and asked the woman,” Madam, may I ask who you‘re looking for?” Mrs. Lane blinked. ‘Is this the missus?
‘I was about to call Mr. Zachary and our conversation might give away his identity. Fortunately, she interrupted me by calling out to me.
‘Otherwise, if he picked up my call and she heard me addressing him as Mr. Zachary by habit like how it is back in the main residence, it might raise suspicion to the ordinary man persona he painstakingly crafted, or it could have also been exposed by me.‘ “Hello.”
Mrs. Lane smiled. “I’m Mrs. Lane, the nanny Mr. York hired. I‘m here to start work today as agreed. I came here according to the address that Mr. York gave me. Are you Mrs. York?”
So it turned out to be Mrs. Lane.
Serenity took out her keys and opened the door, saying, “Mr. York told me about you. You can just call me Serenity, Mrs. Lane. I‘m not too used to being called Mrs. York.” In reality, she still felt like she was the same free and unfettered Serenity Hunt. She only remembered that she was married when she saw Zachary. “That’s… not really…” Mrs. Lane was hesitant to call the missus by her name. When they spoke, she had already sized up Serenity. She saw that Serenity was carrying several bags of freshly bought groceries in her hands, and felt that Serenity was someone down–to–earth, just like Old Mrs. York.
She was not arrogant or haughty like other rich ladies. Serenity invited Mrs. Lane into her home and said with a smile,” Since you‘re coming to work with us, we have a professional relationship. You can just call me by my name. There‘s no need to call me Missus.”
