Chapter 710
Clive’s and Zachary’s bodyguards trailed behind without a word. People would think they saw ghosts if this group of people did not make a sound while striding ahead. Clive stopped right before getting into the lift.
“Zachary,” he said in a low voice.
Zachary turned his head to look at him.
Clive took a long pause before saying, “Stop stealing my business.”
Zachary nonchalantly replied, “People have a choice to change their minds before they seal the deal. Some even back out after signing the contract. That’s how business is. You can’t say that I steal your business. You should recognize that Stone Group is not strong enough to convince clients from choosing York Corporation instead.
“Business is business. Favor is another thing. Don’t mix personal with business.”
Clive remarked, “Zachary, you have balls.”
Zachary remained offhanded. “Of course, I have balls, but you… You’ve been married for years now. When are you going to have a baby? Are you unwell or something? Since you’re Serenity’s cousin, I can recommend a specialist to help you.”
“Unwell, my foot. I’m as fit as a fiddle. My wife and I want to enjoy a few years with just the two of us. There’s no hurry to get a baby.”
Clive nearly blew up.
However, he understood that Zachary was not the only one curious about it. The world was also wondering if there was something wrong with him, his wife, or both because a baby was not in the picture yet.
“I got to go. You don’t have to see me off, Mr. Stone,” Zachary said as Sam pressed the button for the lift. Zachary then entered the lift with his security detail.
Clive was left outside the lift, screaming, “Who’s seeing you off? I’m going home!” He could not believe Zachary went ahead to take his personal lift!
Clive decided to go home and discuss with his wife about having a baby. They were blissfully married and enjoyed each other’s company for years, but they were not getting any younger. Clive’s parents did not rush them for a baby.
Nevertheless, the Lafayette family had been urging them to make a big family.
