Chapter 85

Chapter 85 – Feasting his eyes on the balcony garden, Zachary uttered faintly,

“You can grow the whole yard with roses when we move into a bungalow. When they grow and climb the walls, the full bloom is a sight to behold.” Serenity replied with a smile, “The price of properties has skyrocketed to an alltime high.I can’t even scrape together the deposit for a studio apartment, let alone a bungalow.”

Of course, Serenity had considered getting a bungalow…in her dreams. Anyone would’ve wanted to live in a bungalow if they had the means to do so. Privacy was guaranteed in the standalone building. An apartment was not exactly the perfect sanctuary as the walls were not thick enough to soundproof from upstairs and downstairs.

Zachary held his tongue. The place they were staying now was a last-minute purchase before their marriage.He had been staying in a huge mansion prior to this. “Mr.York, get some breakfast.I’ll join you after I’m done watering the flowers.” “Sure.” Zachary turned around and ventured into the dining hall.

Breakfasts by Chef Serenity might be simple, but she always changed up the recipes to make things interesting . Serenity was a great cook who could make toast and homemade jam taste good. Zachary believed his palate was overwhelmed by all the best gourmets in the world. That was why he found Serenity’s simple and common dishes delicious.

Zachary was the first one out the door today. He ran into Josh in the office building. Josh blinked at Zachary. Zachary kept a blank face. “Why do you look hot and bothered?”

Walking alongside Zachary, Josh nudged him and poked fun in a hushed tone, “What? Can’t please your lady?” Zachary turned his head and gave Josh the evil eye before making his way to his office. “Knowing you, you couldn’t and didn’t.” “We’re good!” Zachary retorted peevishly.

“Oh.” Josh proceeded to pry into Zachary’s affairs. “Why do you look like you didn’t get enough last night then?” “And how can you tell?” How could Zachary have that look when he had never experienced a hot and tantalizing night? Besides, Serenity did not make his heart race, nor did he get the animalistic urge when he was with her.

With that in mind, Zachary had to admit that he was detached in the emotions department. “I saw it with my two eyes.Anyway, Zachary, I ordered breakfast.Have you eaten? Come join me.” Zachary turned his head to face his friend again. He pursed his lips before saying,

“I have a wife.I get out of bed to have breakfast ready on the table.Only those who are single would order breakfast in the office.” Josh was stumped. Zachary’s marriage sure gave him bragging rights. He was suddenly curious as to how Zachary got along with Serenity “How’s the progress with your investigation ? Send the file to my office later.”

Josh answered with a grin, “You know you can count on me. I’ll have it delivered to your office right away.’ “Good,” Zachary responded. With the pair splitting up, Zachary took his personal elevator to the top floor.

Since Josh’s office was not on the top floor, he could not be bothered to share the elevator with his stone – faced boss. Josh was a hard-shell figure in the office too, but he was popular among his peers because unlike Zachary, he was not a walking wax sculpture . Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

As Zachary’s trusted man, Josh was the go-to person when the employees needed to get a message to Zachary. Zachary had just stepped into his office when Josh came in with his breakfast delivery.
