Chapter 188


    While waiting for Zachary at the dessert shop, Serenity did not want to sit in the establishment without


    getting anything, so she ordered two milkshakes to go. Since she was sitting near the entrance,


    Serenity was able to spot Zachary when he drove out of the office building.


    Carrying her in milkshakes, she walked out of the shop.


    With a smile across her beautiful face, Serenity waved at Zachary.


    Zachary drove over and pulled up in front of her.


    Serenity took a few steps forward and opened the door to the passenger seat.


    She got into the car and put on her seatbelt before Zachary restarted the engine.


    "Why are you wearing a ck mask?" Serenity asked in passing.


    Without a word, Zachary removed the mask He did not want anyone to recognize him as he drove out


    of his office building.


    Even though not many had seen hun in person before, it was best Zachary practiced caution.

    Instead of dwelling on Zachary''s refusal to answer, Serenity asked, “Do you want a milkshake? I


    bought you a cup.I''ll have mine now, and I''ll take over the wheel when I finish it.You can then have your


    drink."


    "No, thank you." Zachary never had milkshakes before.


    “I’ll give it to Jasmine then.Jasmine likes milkshakes.She loves to pair milkshakes with sweet treats for


    tea."


    “I guess girls prefer to have milkshakes.I rarely have it.I don''t like it that much either." Sereillty took a


    sip and said, “I seldom drink milkshakes too.It''s not exactly the healthiest thing." She would always


    order juice whenever Jasmine ced a delivery order for milkshakes.


    "What made youe all the way here to pick me up today?” Zachary asked in a low voice


    "You could''ve called in e before you canne.What if I wasn''t in the office? You would''vee all this way


    for nothing.” He just happened to be in the office today, Usually, Zachary would not be around at this


    hour


    "Do you always talk business when it''s time to eat?"


    "Yes." Zachary added, "Many deals are closed during lunch and dinner appointments." Serenity said,


    "Oh I''ll call you in advance next time.I just wanted to give you a surprise.I guess I gave you more of a


    scare than a pleasant surprise.


    "My sister''s out looking for a job and will join us for lunch at the shop, so I made extra.You''ve breri


    generous and caring toward me I should repay you, so I came over to pick you up for lunch together”


    After a brief silence, Zachar yuttered, "Serenity, we signed an agreement, but you don''t have to be


    hung up about the divorce once the time is up.We can get along like other ordinary couples.No need to


    feel like you owe me for every single thing.”


    “It’s all about the give-and-take between husband and wife,” Serenityspoke matter-of factly Zachary


    choked, at a loss for words, because she had a point.


    "If you don''t like me to pick you up and have meals together, I won’te again.” Serenity thought that


    he disapproved of hering to his workce.


    She still remembered what he told her when they just got their marriage license.


    They were to keep their marriage a secret.


    Serenity must not disclose their status to anybody without his consent.


    Zachary fell silent once more.


    He had no idea what to say.


    For Serenity to pick him up at work, it meant that she was starting to give him care and attention.


    W However, they were supposed to keep their marriage under wraps.


    He did not want to spin a web of lies to cover his back every time she came.


    Serenity took Zachary’s silence admission to her question.


    Drinking thest of the milkshake, she told herself to never pick him up from work at York Corporation


    again.
