Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Zachary was the center of attention as he walked into the room, completely oblivious to his new bride in a corner. Serenity’s gaze could not get past the crowd and onto her man’s face.

After failing to catch a glimpse of the leading man despite standing on her toes to look for a long time, Serenity soon lost interest and sat back down. She tugged on her best friend and said, “I won’t bother. There are too many people around to get a good look. Let’s eat.”

To Serenity, the mission tonight was to pig out!

“Wait for me here, Seren. I’ll ask my aunt who came. All that commotion is as if the king has graced us with his presence.”

The curiosity was eating Jasmine up inside.

“Sure,” Serenity casually replied.

Jasmine went off on her own.

Since Serenity had cleared her plates, she picked up her empty plates and got up. While everybody was fussing over the VIP, Serenity could grab the food at ease without enduring the stares and dirty looks.

Zachary walked into the room and first went to have a small talk with the organizer of the event. His bodyguards, with their game faces on, kept their eyes and ears peeled for anything and everything. Mr. Zachary had a thing against females coming too close.

Their primary task when attending events with Mr. Zachary was to be on the lookout for those with ulterior motives.

Perhaps blessed with height, one of the bodyguards was able to look far and caught sight of Mr. Zachary’s wife while assessing the venue.

Zachary withheld his identity when he married Serenity. However, as Zachary’s bodyguards, they recognized the missus of the house. Hence, Zachary’s bodyguards, aside from the old Mrs., were familiar with Serenity.

Thinking his eyes were fooling him, the said bodyguard was fixated on the girl and realized that it was indeed Mr. Zachary’s wife. 1

The missus was unfazed by Mr. Zachary’s presence as she held two plates and selected her favorite food. It did not take long before her plates were filled to the brim. Carrying two plates of food, Serenity walked away and sat down at the table in a corner.
