Chapter 164
Not only was Elisa’s family against her courting Zachary, but her best friends also persuaded her to let it go, saying that it was not an easy pursuit with Zachary. Besides, her family and the Yorks were rivals in business.
Only Serenity encouraged her to go for it.
Elisa clung to Serenity, deeming the latter to be her confidante.
“I wouldn’t go after Mr. York despite his brilliance if he had a wife or girlfriend. I’m a good catch, so I don’t need to steal someone else’s man. The fact is that he’s single. Now that I’ve found the one, I must put it into action and try. Even if nothing comes out of it, I won’t regret trying.”
Elisa let it all out of her chest.
Serenity had caught wind about Elisa’s haughtiness, but she had the means to be lofty, spoiled, and willful after all. All Serenity saw in Elisa was an ordinary lovesick girl.
It appeared to Serenity that Elisa was in a positive frame of mind,
Elisa had a non distorted outlook on life.
Serenity had overheard some gossip about Mr. York when she accompanied her best friend to the dinner party the other night Serenity knew that the man had been single.
The heir of the Yorks always had bodyguards around him to stop any young women from getting close.
He never gave any young women a chance. Nevertheless, Elisa was bold to profess her feelings publicly and became the talk of the town together with Mr. York.
“You aren’t wrong, Ms. Stone. Everybody has the right to go after true love. As you said, Mr. York is single without a girlfriend in sight. You’re single without a boyfriend too. It’s not illegal or against morality and ethics for you to woo him. It’s normal for you to act this way.”
Elisa bobbed her head.
“Serenity, you’re the first person ever to give me the green light to woo Mr. York.” Serenity smiled, realizing, at last, the reason Elisa came to look for her.
