Chapter 170
Chapter 170 “I’ve made the maneki-neko, but Ms. Stone saw and loved the creation when she suddenly came to visit me. I thought since we live together, I can make it up to you at any time.” Black in the face, Zachary fixated his profound eyes on her.
Serenity asked cautiously, “Are you angry, Mr. York?” Zachary scowled and spoke in an icy tone, “How can I not be angry when you gave something meant for me to someone else without my permission?”
To make things worse, Serenity gave it to Elisa! Did Serenity know that Elisa was chasing her husband? How could she give away his maneki-neko to her competition?
That was generous of her!
Serenity stopped looking at her phone. Holding her plate of mac and cheese, she made her way toward Zachary while eating. She sat down next to Zachary and said fawningly, “I’m sorry, Mr. York. It’s my fault. I’ll make it up to you tomorrow. Don’t be mad.” Zachary glared at her rather grimly.
His lips were pressed together tightly. Since Zachary had not cooled off, Serenity slid her plate of mac and cheese to him. “Why don’t you have my supper?”
Zachary winced his face. “How can you give me something you’ve already taken a bite out of?” He was a little OCD when it came to sharing food. He was not going to eat food that had been touched. “I only took a few bites. Forget it if you mind. I’m hungry anyway.” Serenity immediately withdrew her hand and went back to digging in her mac and cheese. “Man, I’m a good cook. I can make an ordinary plate of mac and cheese taste exquisite. Well, your loss.” “Don’t change the subject, Serenity. We’re talking about the maneki-neko.”
“I gave it away. You can’t expect me to ask it back from Ms. Stone. Ms. Stone mentioned that she’s going to have a beach holiday with her mother. She probably isn’t in the city anymore. Besides, I don’t know where Ms. Stone lives.”
The residences of the rich must be luxurious and equipped with the best security system.
Even if Serenity knew the location of Ms. Stone’s home, she probably would not make it past the gates.
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault I shouldn’t have given Ms. Stone the mancki-nicko that was supposed to be for you. without asking you. She said it was pretty and she liked it a lot, sol gave it to lier. How about this, Mr. York? I’ll give you two more – one maneki-neko and a golden dragon. What do you think?”
She should keep in mind never to give others the stuff that was meant for him. Otherwise , he would be furious.
It never crossed her mind that he was so… principled. Alright. It was her fault.
The tension along Zachary’s jaw eased up.
“It better not happen again.” For her to give away things that were supposed to be his, Zachary got the feeling that she did not appreciate or care about him.
Speaking of which, Serenity had not realized that the suit jacket he just took off was her gift to him.
The girl was usually witty and perceptive. Yet today, it was as though she was blind. Even Josh could tell his clothes were different today. Despite living together with him, Serenity did not seem to pick up on that. As Zachary sat in frustration , his relaxed facial muscles began tensing up once more. Nodding her head, Serenity promised, “There won’t be a
next time.”
She would not dare try that again to a person of principle. It took an extra dragon for him to let go of the matter.
Although her handicrafts were not of much monetary value, Serenity spent hours on manual labor.
“Mr. York.”
Serenity was almost finished with her food when she stole a glance at Zachary’s still agitated face. She then had a painful decision to fold. “How about you pick a design you like, and I‘ll make it exclusively for you?”
