Chapter 72


    Zachary felt brushed off. He pulled a long face the entire afternoon, leaving everyone at York


    Corporationon tenterhooks. It was a mystery who stepped on the toes of the stone-faced CEO.


    As if his usual aloof demeanor was not enough, the tensed lines running along his chiseled face only


    made him scarier.


    Even Callum and Josh refrained from hanging around Zachary.


    Despite feeling exasperated , Zachary kept his promise and waited for Serenity at the shop after work.


    Since Serenity was busy, he stepped into the shop to help out behind the cash register.


    However, thebination of his stern outlook, his quiet presence, and his towering build scared the


    students away from the cash register.


    The students could only muster the courage to approach Serenity and Jasmine.


    Serenity said to him point-nk, “I''ll take over from here, Mr.York.” Tilting his head, Zachary stared into


    Serenity''s eyes with utmost profundity.


    It took a while before he got up with a sour face and walked around the cash register to head outside


    the shop and stand like an ice sculpture .


    It was hard not to notice as Zachary stood there, emanating ominous vibes to stay away.


    Now the issue was not that no one came to him to make payment, but no one dared to set foot into the


    shop other than the people who were already there.


    Serenity, “..." Realizing this, Jasmine drew close and whispered in her best friend’s ear, “Serenity, take


    Mr.York away now.I can handle the shop on my own.His presence at the entrance is causing our sales


    to plummet.”


    “Appreciate it, Jas.” Serenity helplessly got up and walked out.

    She told Zachary, “Come on.” Zachary stood still, refusing to move.


    It was only when Serenity tried to pull him away that he hissed through clenched teeth, “You think I’mno


    help!” Not knowing what to think, Serenity reached out and grabbed his arm.


    “I don’t think so.It’s not a job for you, that’s all.The students are afraid of you.They''re more terrified to


    see you than their teachers." She dragged him into the car.


    “I''ll take the new car home, and then you can drive us to my sister’s.” Zachary did not voice an opinion,


    quietly agreeing to her n.


    He felt a little better.


    Serenity was right.


    As the heir of the Yorks, Zachary had never dabbled in the service sector.


    His birth as the firstborn had decided his fate to take over the family businesses and affairs.


    Zachary assumed his position as the CEO of York Corporation the moment he came of age and hadthe


    capability to carry on the business.


    Being at the top only added an air of aloofness to him.


    Apart from a few close executives , everyone else at York Corporation shied away from him.


    It was extraordinary that Serenity did not hold his stoic nature against him when they signed the papers


    minutes afterthey had just met.


    Hmm…


    He should really thank Serenity for not dismissing him.


    Zachary would have been humiliated if Serenity shunned him when he was willing to get a marriage


    license with her.
