“Seren, are the DNA test results for Mrs. Stone and you almost ready p>
Zachary quickly shifted the topic to steer the conversation away from himself.
He had only been showcasing his relationship to announce his marriage on Facebook, never anticipating that it would create such a stir that would occupy his wife’s day with gossip.
“Elisa said they’ll collect the results tomorrow p>
“Oh.” Zachary added swiftly, “If the results reveal that you’re related to Mrs. Stone, you might have to meet them again. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to accompany you to the Stones’ house since I have a business trip tomorrow p>
Serenity lifted her gaze to meet his. “I thought you didn’t have any business trips scheduled p>
Zachary stared at her in silence, realizing she was eager for him to leave soon.
He worried that she might forget who he was by the time he returned from his trip.
“Have you booked your flight yet? What time is it? I’ll drive you to the airport p>
“I’ll wake up early tomorrow to pack for you p>
Serenity thought she was being considerate by packing his things and seeing him off at the airport for his business trip.
“I’m taking the 10:35 AM flight. There’s no need for you to drive me; I need to stop by the office to grab some paperwork before leaving with a colleague. The company has arranged for an airport transfer p>
“Oh.” That made things easier for her.
“Text me when you get the DNA test results. I’ll be busy during the trip, so I’ll only have time to read messages late at night. I won’t miss your texts p>
“Okay. I’ll message you when I receive the results p>
Zachary made a point to mention his busy work schedule during the trip to ensure Serenity wouldn’t call him while Elisa was around during the day.
“That reminds me, should we…
“Could you give Jasmine and Mr. Bucham a little push? Jasmine mentioned that she feels Mr. Bucham is out of her league after learning about his position in the company p>
Zachary responded, “That’s really up to them. They need to determine how they wish to move forward in their relationship. Our role is just to arrange the initial date; everything else is their responsibility p>
Serenity smiled and said, “You make a good point. We’ll see how their relationship unfolds, but I think they look great together. I’m rooting for them to succeed p>
Jasmine wasn’t particularly interested in Josh.
He was likely too busy with work to make the first move.
He did call Jasmine and encouraged her to drink more water while she was sick.
“I have another candidate to introduce to Ms. Sox if she doesn’t feel a connection with Mr. Bucham,” Zachary said.
Serenity asked, a bit concerned, “Is this person better than Mr. Bucham p>
“You could say that, but Mr. Bucham would definitely win in a fistfight. This candidate isn’t great at self-defense, so he travels with a security team. He’s an important client of my company. The downside is that he lives quite far from Wiltspoon p>
The person Zachary had in mind was Remy.
Remy was the younger brother of Ben Young-Johnson, the CEO of FC & Co. in Annenburg.
He managed the Wiltspoon branch of FC & Co. and, having interacted with him numerous times in business, Zachary considered Remy to be a reliable man.
“Jasmine won’t be interested in him if he’s not from Wiltspoon. Given that you mentioned he has a security team, he must be wealthy. Jasmine isn’t keen on marrying into a rich and powerful family p>
Zachary smiled and replied, “He is definitely wealthy. If Ms. Sox won’t consider the rich and influential, we can drop it. Interestingly, many people view Ms. Sox as an heiress because her family owns considerable assets p>
“Soxes possess wealth that many will never experience, even after a lifetime of hard work.” The locals who became rich from the property boom did not view themselves as wealthy. They continued to live like everyday people, commuting to work on bicycles or e-bikes and taking on menial jobs such as cleaning and patrolling. They preferred casual attire and often went out in loafers.
