Filed to story: The Disguised Billionaire and His Accidental Wife Novel
Tilting her head for a moment, Serenity helplessly wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled his head down, and offered him her red lips.
Zachary was elated after getting a kiss from his wife which she initiated. He pulled the suitcase with one hand and held Serenity’s hand with the other, and the couple went out together.
Grandma May was downstairs waiting for the young couple.
Jim was chatting with the old woman.
He was recognized by Serenity on the day Liberty moved out and said that he would do anything as long as he was paid. Thus, he did not panic when he saw Serenity now.
He felt like he could finally live out in the open.
“Mr. York and Ms. Hunt.
Jim took the initiative to greet them.
Serenity returned his smile and asked, “What is your name, mister? I forgot to ask for your name card that day.”
Jim darted a glance at Zachary and saw his boss’s expression remained unchanged before he boldly replied, “My name is Jim.”
Then, he fished out a small slip of paper from his pants pocket and handed it to Serenity, saying in embarrassment, “I only realized that I ran out of name cards to hand out when I got home. I hadn’t bothered to get extra copies printed either, so I just wrote my cell phone number on the paper.”
Serenity accepted the note with Jim’s phone number on it and said to the man beside her, “Jim said he can do any job. I figured I could ask him to help me with any job I can’t do myself in the future.”
She was explaining it lest the jealous man had other thoughts.
Zachary said in a low voice, “Jim is quite reliable. You can ask him to help if you need any heavy labor done.”
Jim smiled nervously. “Yes yes yes, I can do anything as long as I’m paid. Mr. York, are you going on a business trip?”
Zachary hummed.
“In that case, I won’t bother you guys anymore.”
Jim said goodbye to the couple, waved to Grandma May again, and walked away as if nothing happened.
Zachary would only bring half of his security detail on business trips. Jim was not selected and was assigned to stay behind to protect Serenity.
However, Jim was not regretful that he did not get to accompany Zachary on the business trip. Compared. to his colleagues, he had a better chance of building rapport with Serenity.
It was important to build a connection with Zachary, but was it more important than building it with Serenity?
Zachary’s growing affection for Serenity was clear. It could even be described as doting.
According to the rules of the men in the York family, a person could still be forgiven if they offended the male counterpart of the Yorks. However, if they offended their wives, all that awaited them was death.
Thus, Jim would only get a promotion and a raise if he built connections with Serenity instead.
The couple got into their respective cars, and Serenity drove away with Grandma May first.
When her car was out of sight, Zachary’s driver and bodyguard entourage slowly approached in their cars.
Zachary’s MPV had to be driven to the company and parked there, so as to not rouse Serenity’s suspicion.
On the way to the office, Zachary called Sam, the butler in Wildridge Manor, and instructed him to send cleaners to Whitmore Mansion. Then, a few people would be arranged to stay there for a period of time to add to the liveliness.
At the end, he said, “Jim’s bonus will be doubled in the future.”
Jim, who was sitting in the passenger seat, jerked his head to look at Zachary. He could not hide the smile on his face as he said repeatedly, “Thank you, Mr. Zachary.”
The driver cast an envious look at Jim.
The bonuses for the bodyguards around Zachary were astronomical to begin with and now that Jim’s bonus would be doubled, it would without a doubt attract green–eyed monsters.
Sam said respectfully, “Yes, sir. Will it be starting this month?”
“Yes, starting this month.”
Sam understood.
After hanging up the phone, Zachary instructed Jim, “Protect the missus while I’m away during this period.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Zachary. We’ll protect the missus well.”
Serenity was skilled in the arts of self–defense, so it was easy peasy to protect her.
Double the bonus!
Jim was happy just thinking about it.
This was the benefit of building connections with Serenity!
“If Serenity needs help or encounters difficulties, tell Nana. She’ll arrange everything properly. Alternatively, you can tell Callum as well.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Zachary. If the missus faces any problems, Old Mrs. York will definitely hear about it.”
Grandma May was seemingly omnipotent. Her grandsons could not hold a candle to her.
Zachary thought of his nana’s capability and did not speak again.
What surprised him was that for the first time in a while, he saw Elisa standing at the entrance of the company again.
She was leaning on her red sports car, watching his team slowly approaching.
The driver remarked, “Mr. Zachary, Ms. Stone is here again.”
Zachary was silent for a moment before instructing the driver, “Stop the car in front of her.”
The driver and Jim were shocked.
Although Elisa and Serenity became good friends, Zachary never treated Elisa well. The only person who Zachary treated somewhat well was Jasmine, since her friendship with Serenity was deeper.
It was also Jasmine who opened a bookstore with Serenity to make money.
The driver did as he was told.
Elisa was still contemplating whether to rush out to stop the car regardless of her safety when Zachary’s Rolls–Royce stopped in front of her.
The car door opened, and Zachary walked out of the car.
Even after not seeing him for some time, he was still extraordinarily handsome in her eyes.
Elisa looked smitten for a moment before she reminded herself not to be infatuated anymore. He was already someone else’s husband.
“Don’t worry, Mr. York. I’m not here to pester you today.”
Elisa spoke first. She stood up straight but had nowhere to put her hands, so she leaned back against the car again with her hands propping up her body. She looked at Zachary and said, “You showing off your love made me very curious, so I came here shamelessly to ask you just which family your wife belongs to.
“Can you tell me so I know how I lost?”
Zachary said in a low voice, “Sorry, but I don’t want to expose my wife’s identity yet. You should know after the media’s reaction yesterday. My wife likes a quiet and uneventful life. I don’t want anyone disturbing her.”
Elisa nodded in understanding. “That’s true. The media is ridiculous. They’re almost everywhere.”
Only someone like Zachary had the ability to turn the media crazy and not give them any answers.
