Chapter 188
While waiting for Zachary at the dessert shop, Serenity did not want to sit in the establishment without getting anything, so she ordered two milkshakes to go. Since she was sitting near the entrance, Serenity was able to spot Zachary when he drove out of the office building.
Carrying her in milkshakes, she walked out of the shop.
With a smile across her beautiful face, Serenity waved at Zachary.
Zachary drove over and pulled up in front of her.
Serenity took a few steps forward and opened the door to the passenger seat.
She got into the car and put on her seatbelt before Zachary restarted the engine.
“Why are you wearing a black mask?” Serenity asked in passing.
Without a word, Zachary removed the mask He did not want anyone to recognize him as he drove out of his office building.
Even though not many had seen hun in person before, it was best Zachary practiced caution.
Instead of dwelling on Zachary’s refusal to answer, Serenity asked, “Do you want a milkshake? I bought you a cup.I’ll have mine now, and I’ll take over the wheel when I finish it.You can then have your drink.”
“No, thank you.” Zachary never had milkshakes before.
“I’ll give it to Jasmine then.Jasmine likes milkshakes.She loves to pair milkshakes with sweet treats for tea.”
“I guess girls prefer to have milkshakes.I rarely have it.I don’t like it that much either.” Sereillty took a sip and said, “I seldom drink milkshakes too.It’s not exactly the healthiest thing.” She would always order juice whenever Jasmine placed a delivery order for milkshakes.
“What made you come all the way here to pick me up today?” Zachary asked in a low voice
“You could’ve called in e before you canne.What if I wasn’t in the office? You would’ve come all this way for nothing.” He just happened to be in the office today, Usually, Zachary would not be around at this hour
“Do you always talk business when it’s time to eat?”
“Yes.” Zachary added, “Many deals are closed during lunch and dinner appointments.” Serenity said, “Oh I’ll call you in advance next time.I just wanted to give you a surprise.I guess I gave you more of a scare than a pleasant surprise.
“My sister’s out looking for a job and will join us for lunch at the shop, so I made extra.You’ve breri generous and caring toward me I should repay you, so I came over to pick you up for lunch together” After a brief silence, Zachar yuttered, “Serenity, we signed an agreement, but you don’t have to be hung up about the divorce once the time is up.We can get along like other ordinary couples.No need to feel like you owe me for every single thing.”
“It’s all about the give-and-take between husband and wife,” Serenityspoke matter-of factly Zachary choked, at a loss for words, because she had a point.
“If you don’t like me to pick you up and have meals together, I won’t come again.” Serenity thought that he disapproved of her coming to his workplace.
She still remembered what he told her when they just got their marriage license.
They were to keep their marriage a secret.
Serenity must not disclose their status to anybody without his consent.
Zachary fell silent once more.
He had no idea what to say.
For Serenity to pick him up at work, it meant that she was starting to give him care and attention.
W However, they were supposed to keep their marriage under wraps.
He did not want to spin a web of lies to cover his back every time she came.
Serenity took Zachary’s silence admission to her question.
Drinking the last of the milkshake, she told herself to never pick him up from work at York Corporation again.
