After driving for a while, he chuckled and said, “Fortunately, I’ve been using this car for my daily commute to avoid raising Serenity’s suspicions about me driving a luxury vehicle. If she ever doubts my intentions, Zachary would have my head.”
“I think his façade will soon crumble,” Nana remarked.
“It will be interesting to see how he attempts to fix things then. Callum, you better not take any cues from him.”
“I find it entertaining. You can truly gauge whether someone is interested in you as a person or just your status when you conceal your identity.”
Nana could only remain silent in response.
Their family’s circumstances often led to encounters with individuals who were solely interested in them for their identity and status.
As Nana and Callum drove away, Serenity was about to call Zachary when he emerged from the building.
“Mr. York,” she greeted, approaching him with an insulated lunch box in hand.
Zachary had spent the entire morning busy and relied on two cups of coffee to push through. He felt drained, but the moment he saw Serenity approaching with a smile, he suddenly felt that all his hard work was worth it, no matter how exhausted he was.
“You’re finished with work, right?”
Zachary nodded. “Just now.”
Serenity noticed a large number of people leaving the office building, creating a crowd reminiscent of summer holiday bus stations.
These individuals were the industry’s elite.
Having never worked in a corporate environment before, Serenity felt a twinge of envy seeing them all in their sharp, professional suits that exuded competence. Still, she preferred her current job, where she could feel more at ease.
“The food is all…
“It’s freshly cooked. You should eat it while it’s still hot.” Serenity handed the insulated lunch box to Zachary. “Will you take it back to your office to eat or have it in my car?” Zachary reached for the lunch box and looked at her. “I don’t have an appetite when I eat alone.”
