Chapter 910
Zachary had no idea his commitment to work had caused distress to the entire office. It was Monday after he took seven days to cool off. He invited Serenity out at the start of a new week.
The injury on Serenity’s hand healed up well after seven days of rest. At least, she could now drive.
Zachary asked to meet her at the presidential suite on the top floor of Wiltspoon Hotel.
Serenity brought Sonny along.
The little man was with her today because the facelift for Liberty’s restaurant was nearing completion. Since Liberty would be busy in the coming days, she did not have time to look after Sonny. The responsibility of caring for Sonny fell on Serenity’s shoulders.
“Mrs. York.”
Standing at the hotel entrance, Jim and his colleague watched as Serenity carried Sonny out of the car. Jim went ahead and respectfully said hello.
“Where’s your boss?”
“Mr. Zachary is waiting for you on the top floor. Please come with us.
Remaining deferential throughout, Jim and his colleague led Serenity into the hotel.
A few minutes later, Serenity entered the magnificent presidential suite with Sonny in her arms.
With his back facing the door, Zachary stood by the window. The room bore a heavy stench of cigarettes.
Zachary, who rarely ever smoked, had helped himself to multiple packs.
Serenity noticed the ashtray, filled with cigarette butts on the coffee table. There was also a thick yellow envelope on the table, but the content was unknown.
They had not seen each other for a week.
By now, Serenity had gotten a grip on herself.
“Uncle Zack.”
Sonny was the first to break the silence.
Sonny’s voice urged Zachary to turn around. He quickly put out the cigarette in his hand.
He was aware of Serenity coming into the room.
