Married at First Sight

Chapter 16

Within the business community in Wiltspoon, anyone who had won Zachary’s favor would go places like the world was theirs to take.

Mr. and Mrs. Lowe brought their son along to the dinner party so he could meet people and make friends. It was to lay the groundwork for their son’s future.

“Mr. Lowe, you were…”

“I was just returning from walking my family to get a ride.”

Before Zachary could finish his sentence, Shawn jumped in to explain what he was doing in case Zachary might take it the wrong way that Shawn did not care for these social settings or was unhappy with the hotel service.

The Wiltspoon Hotel was one of the many hotels under the Yorks’ flagship.

“Oh.” Zachary then walked past Shawn, looking like he only greeted Shawn out of politeness.

Shawn had no time to get over the situation as a crowd around Zachary walked right past him. Shawn became a nobody in an instant.

Everybody was used to Zachary making a brief appearance at an event before taking off.

The CEOs were secretly glad that they managed to talk business with Zachary. It was a good thing that they moved quickly and jumped at the chance.

Soon, the Rolls Royce with the car plate number, XX8888, escorted by cars of his security detail, left the Wiltspoon Hotel.

“Where to, Mr. Zachary?”

Behind the wheel, the driver asked.

Zachary took a look at the time, and it was only half past nine. Since it was still early for him, he gave it a thought and replied, ‘To Brynfield.”

“Got it,” the driver responded.

To Zachary’s surprise, he came home earlier than Serenity.

Back at his barren, warmthless, vacant home, Zachary sat on the sofa and disinterestedly watched TV while waiting for his wife, who had not come home despite leaving the hotel earlier.

The bodyguard had captured Serenity’s every move at the party and sent the pictures to Zachary’s phone.

Zachary scrolled through each photo. All the woman did was eat as if she had been starving for a lifetime.

Nevertheless, her hiding in a corner to eat was better than her hitting on other men.

Zachary frowned at her attire. The woman was underdressed and did not even put on an evening gown. Of course, he would lock her out of the house if she appeared at the ball, dressed to the nines.

Apart from Shawn, Serenity did not engage with other males. Shawn was the cousin of her best friend, so they must already know each other.

In the end, Zachary was fixated on a photograph with his lips pursed. His eyes reflected growing profundity and callousness.

It was a hard angle to pull even for a candid photo. The bodyguard somehow managed to capture Shawn sneaking a glance at Serenity. As the head of York Corporation, Zachary had trained eagle eyes.

He picked up on the subtlety of the photograph.

Shawn had a thing for Serenity!

There was a click on the door lock.

Zachary stopped looking at the photos and quickly stuffed his phone into his pocket.

Serenity opened the door and came into the house to find Zachary sitting on the sofa watching TV. While closing and locking the door, she asked. “Are you not working late tonight, Mr. York?”
