Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2816

Hugh looked toward Hayden.

She returned to her seat and savored her coffee elegantly.

“You didn’t tell me Kevin was in your office,” Hugh scolded Hayden softly.

She said innocently, “You kept talking after you came in. Kevin appeared before I had the chance to interrupt you. I winked at you, but you didn’t catch the hint. You even said something had gotten into my eyes. Who can you blame when a hint was already given to you?

“I don’t regret what I said about Kevin. I’m just afraid he would take it to heart and tell you to leave me by myself. He seems gentlemanly and friendly, but he’s a cunning man. I don’t even dare to go home whenever he complains to Dad and Mom about me.”

Hugh regretted rambling to Hayden as soon as he entered the office.

“I suggest you go on a business trip for a while. Kevin even recorded the conversation on his phone. He’ll definitely let Mom and Dad hear the recording. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. You have too much time on your hands. I dare bet my last name that our parents will pester you to marry.”

Hugh said, “I knew he was a sly thing. He keeps using Mom and Dad to bully me. I’ll go on that business trip now. I’ll get an air ticket now and return half a month later.”

“I suddenly remembered that our subsidiary companies don’t need any help from the headquarters now. I don’t know where I can assign you.”

Hugh’s expression darkened.

“Besides, you can’t escape forever. Jensburg is your roots. Your home is here. You’ll have to come back sooner or later. I’m most probably getting married to Kevin. He’s going to be your brother-in-law. You'll still have to deal with him unless you break all ties with me.”

“Don’t scare me, my dear sister. Tell me what I should do now.”

Hayden smiled and said, “I don’t know. You’re the one who offended me. You can try pleasing him and ask him to let you off.”

“You’re my sister. Can you bear seeing your brother being bullied by Kevin?”
