Chapter 498
Serenity stopped the car in front of York Corporation‘s building before giving Zachary another call.
While on the road, she had called Zachary no fewer than twenty times.
The jealousy–ridden sourpuss refused to take her calls.
It made her worried sick!
Fortunately, Zachary finally accepted her call.
“I‘m at the entrance of your office building, Zachary. Can you take thirty minutes off work? Cout. I need to talk to you.”
Jumping to his feet, Zachary approached the window in the meeting room and pulled open the curtains to look down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince he was on a high floor and far away from the ground, Zachary could not tell if the car at the entrance belonged to Serenity.
“Are you listening, Zachary? Say something.”
Serenity uttered anxiously, “Cout. I‘ll wait for you at the entrance until you‘re off work if you don‘t cout.”
Zachary‘s husky voice cthrough. “Hang on. I‘ll be right out.”
Closing the curtains, he turned on his heel to walk out of the meeting room. After hanging up on the call, he solemnly instructed, “Josh, take over the meeting.”
Josh nearly burst into laughter.
He was right on the money.
Still, Josh did not show it on his face when he answered, “Sure.”
Zachary ditched his senior executives and dashed out of the meeting room.
He took the lift to the first floor and caught sight of Serenity when he walked to the entrance of the office building. Serenity was out of the car, holding the umbrella he threw onto her car hood.
Zachary did not have an umbrella.
Just as Zachary was about to run in the rain, a receptionist perceptively grabbed an umbrella and gave it to him, “It‘s pouring down heavy, Sir. Take this.”
“Thank you.”
Taking the umbrella from the receptionist, Zachary took steady strides out with the umbrella.
All the jealousy disappeared the moment he saw Serenity standing at the entrance.
It never crossed Zachary‘s mind that Serenity would call this way.
It turned his frown upside down for sure.
She cared about him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShawn could shove it even though the boy knew Serenity for more than a decade.
“Zachary.”
Serenity felt like crying when the man finally made an appearance.
He denied her the chance to explain, and he did so every single time. Zachary would take off without a word when he saw her with another man.
It was not like she did him dirty. All Serenity did was turn Shawn down and talk him into moving on.
“Why didn‘t you wear the coat? Didn‘t I leave you one?”
Zachary felt bad to see her without the coat he delivered, so he took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
“The coat is in the car. Don‘t take yours off. You only have a shirt underneath. It‘s getting colder because of the long downpour.”
Serenity handed the jacket back to him.
Zachary then went to her car to grab the coat. It was a little wet because the persistent rain drenched the car hood. Even though he put an umbrella over the coat, the wet hood dampened the coat.
Clamping the umbrella between his neck and shoulder, Zachary checked the insides of the coat with his free hand. He only draped the coat over Serenity‘s shoulders after confirming the insides were dry.
“Zachary.”
Serenity looked at him as he held onto the umbrella. Tossing her umbrella aside, she ran over and jumped into his embrace to hold him tightly. Acting on reflexes, Zachary put his arm around her waist.
