Chapter 1278
“It’s nearly time for lunch. I don’t suppose your kitchen is ready yet. Do you want to join us?”
Remy was quite at home at the Stones‘ residence since he had the pleasure of dining there a few times. He said, “My kitchen is still under renovation, so I don’t have any cooking facilities yet. There will be a lot of people dining in the hotel at this hour. I don’t think I can get a private dining room for myself. I’d love to have lunch at your place.”
With a smile, Elisa welcomed him into the house.
As for Zachary and his wife, Elisa needed not to attend to them.
Standing next to Zachary, Serenity stared at the backs of Elisa and Remy before telling her man,” They look good together.”
Zachary only had his eyes on Serenity. Following her comment, he took a quick glance at the pair and faintly uttered, “They do.”
“It’s obvious that Mr. Johnson has the hots for Elisa, but he’s not being truthful to her about his feelings. Zachary–uh, I mean–Babe, can you try and put out feelers with Mr. Johnson?”
Serenity was most eager for Elisa to start dating again.
She could not shake the guilt that she stole Elisa’s love every time she and Zachary appeared before Elisa.
Elisa was really into Zachary.
Able to read his wife’s mind, Zachary held Serenity’s hand and interlocked fingers with her as they walked out of the gazebo. He replied, “Sure, I’ll try and get something out of Mr. Johnson. I’ll encourage him to go after Elisa if he’s romantically interested in her.
“Don’t get wound up in this, Seren. Nothing will ever happen between Elisa and me even if you aren’t in the picture. She’s not my type.”
Serenity refused to admit to it. “I’m not getting wound up. That reminds me, why did you come over? It must be exhausting for you to make trips back and forth.”
The journey from York Corporation to the Stones‘ residence was a lot further than Zachary making his way to Wiltspoon Hotel.
Zachary would have time for a quick afternoon nap if he kept to the same lunchtime routine.
Now that he was here at the Stones‘ residence, Zachary would have to rush back to the office after lunch. He only had time for a quick shuteye in the car.
