Married at First Sight Chapter 251

Chapter 251

In the evening, just before the workday was about to conclude, Josh knocked on the CEO’s office door and entered, carrying a stack of documents in his arms.

Zachary glanced up, studied him for a moment, and then returned to his work. After Josh took a seat, Zachary commented, “What’s the point of having a secretary?”

“She’s pregnant! I want to be considerate of her. I don’t want her to tire herself out by running back and forth. Plus, her husband might come looking for me if I overwork her. So, I handled it myself.”

Josh set the stack of documents down in front of his good friend.

“I’ve reviewed them. There are no issues, so you just need to sign them.”

After placing the documents down, he stood up to pour himself a glass of warm water. He sat back down and drank while observing the man across from him.

Zachary was extremely handsome. Even with his tense, cold, and serious demeanor all day, his good looks were undeniable.

In a world where appearances mattered greatly, girls and young women would inevitably be drawn to him after just a few glimpses.

Perhaps there was one exception—Serenity, their Mrs. CEO.

Josh admired Serenity wholeheartedly. In just over a month, she had managed to soften the most stoic figure at York Corporation, their CEO, transforming him into someone seemingly ready to bloom.

More importantly, Serenity had not succumbed to Zachary’s charm.

How did she manage to guard her heart?

Zachary treated her quite well. Those admirers who had only caught a glimpse of him could not forget him for years afterward, like Elisa Stone! She was one of those who, unable to move on after several years, attempted to pursue him.

On the other hand,

Zachary treated Serenity exceptionally well, even making numerous exceptions for her, yet Serenity managed to guard her heart and remained unaffected. This was the quality that Josh admired about her.

“What are you looking at?”

Zachary didn’t lift his head, but he was aware that his friend was watching him.

“Admiring your handsome face, obviously! Zachary, you really are good-looking. It’s just that you’re ill-tempered and distant. If you were more gentle and considerate, people might mistake you for a woman. If you were a woman, how could anyone else compete? But if you were, I’d do anything to hold onto you and marry you.”

Zachary flipped through the documents Josh had brought, examining them closely. Only after confirming that there were no issues did he sign them.

“Isn’t there a business reception tonight?”

“Yeah. Are you planning to attend? If you do, the organizer will likely celebrate for a month and boast about it for the next decade.”

The business reception at Wiltspoon Hotel that evening couldn’t be considered high-profile. The invitees were mostly middle management from large corporations or owners of smaller businesses.

Someone like Zachary, who was at the pinnacle of success, would never attend an event of this caliber.

Of course, if he wanted to go, he could.

“If you’re interested, I can have Mr. Murray wait for you.”

Mr. Murray was a manager of one of the subsidiary companies under York Corporation. Josh had arranged for him to attend the reception after reviewing the invitation sent to York Corporation by the organizer.

This was necessary because the subsidiary Mr. Murray managed had just launched and needed to build connections to secure business.

Attending such a reception would allow for networking opportunities with some of…

These older managers would pave the way for him, even if he couldn’t secure their business.
“I’m not going. I was just asking.”
Zachary seldom attended events hosted by the elite, let alone a business reception like this one.
He simply wanted to head to the hotel for a drink.
“You have something on your mind; otherwise, you wouldn’t have mentioned it out of the blue.”
“I just want to have a drink or two,” Zachary replied casually.
He had a presidential suite reserved solely for his use at the Wiltspoon Hotel, situated on the top floor.
In the past, if social events ran late, he would choose to stay at the hotel instead of returning home.
