Zachary couldn’t trust Josh to this extent. Clive Stone attempted to recruit Josh numerous times but was unsuccessful. Many tried to get Josh drunk in hopes that he would reveal the York family’s internal secrets, but they also failed. “You have so much money that you could never spend it all in your lifetime, yet you still want me to transfer mine to you?! By the way, did you enjoy catching that scandalous pair last night?” Josh asked openly since they were alone in the elevator. “And why didn’t you ask me to help? I was dreaming about it all night!” For gossip lovers, it was incredibly frustrating not to witness the drama unfold. “It’s at the Stone Group’s hotel. You’d just attract unnecessary attention if you went. You might even end up in today’s headlines.” Josh reluctantly replied, “As if no one would recognize you if you went…” “I wore makeup.” Josh was left speechless; he hadn’t considered that. “Was there a fight?” “Yes.” “Was it entertaining?” Zachary glanced at him again, and seeing Josh’s eager expression, he smiled and replied, “Yeah. My sister-in-law is quite the actress, and her fighting skills rival Serenity’s.” “Wow, so she’s become YOUR Serenity, huh?” Josh picked up on the key phrase. “Otherwise, could she belong to you?” Josh quickly responded, “I wouldn’t dare claim her as mine. Your wife is exceptional in combat.” “She practices kickboxing,” Zachary added. “Wow, brains and brawn! Zack, you’ve definitely found a treasure. Grandma May introduced such a wonderful woman to you simply because you’re her grandson. Back then, you looked like the Grim Reaper in the office every day when Grandma May nagged you.”
am not sure which one it is.”
“I really don’t know what to do with you.”
“Anyway, please send someone to watch over Hank Brown and his family, as well as Jessica Yates and hers. He asked my sister-in-law for a divorce. That scumbag is bound to do something before the divorce is finalized.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve always had someone monitoring them.”
“Then why are you just sitting here?”
“Isn’t there anything else to discuss?”
Josh felt that the information he received was insufficient to quench his thirst for gossip.
Zachary felt like picking him up and throwing him out the window.
Noting Zachary’s silence, Josh smiled and said, “Fine, let’s shift gears to work. Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“I just had coffee.”
“Right… You’re a married man, so your wife can take care of you. You don’t need to worry about starving or being thirsty.”
Josh, accustomed to being single, suddenly yearned to marry a woman he liked so he could also experience the life of a married man.
After wrapping up their work talk, Josh left Zachary’s office.
Zachary glanced at the time. With a meeting scheduled in ten minutes, he decided to use the spare time to call Duncan.
Duncan laughed heartily on the phone and asked, “Zachary, what brings you to call me?”
“I need to ask you for a favor.”
“Is it about your sister-in-law? I hired her because of you the day she came in for the interview, so everyone is already speculating about our relationship. She has also been ostracized by her colleagues at work. If you’re asking me to intervene again, I think she’ll quit because she’ll feel excluded.”
As the CEO of Lewis & Co., Duncan was a well-respected figure in the company and was aware of everything Liberty was experiencing at work.
He did not stand up for Liberty again because…
She feared that her time in the office would be more challenging.
“How long is her probation period?”
“Three months.”
Zachary found himself at a loss for words.
