NovelOnlineChapter 498
Serenity stopped the car in front of York Corporation‘s building before giving Zachary another call.
While on the road, she had called Zachary no fewer than twenty times.
The jealousy–ridden sourpuss refused to take her calls.
It made her worried sick!
Fortunately, Zachary finally accepted her call.
“I‘m at the entrance of your office building, Zachary. Can you take thirty minutes off
work? Come out. I need to talk to you.”
Jumping to his feet, Zachary
approached the window in the meeting room and pulled open the curtains to look down.
Since he was on a high floor and far away
from the ground, Zachary could not tell if the car at the entrance belonged to Serenity.

Serenity uttered anxiously, “Come out. I‘ll wait for you at the entrance until you‘re off
work if you don‘t come out.”
Zachary‘s husky voice came through. “Hang on. I‘ll be right out.”
Closing the curtains, he turned on his heel to walk out of the meeting room. After hanging up on the call
, he solemnly instructed, “Josh, take over the meeting.”
Josh nearly burst into laughter.
He was right on the money.
Still, Josh did not show it on his face when he answered, “Sure.”
Zachary ditched his senior executives and dashed out of the meeting room.
He took the lift to the first floor and caught sight of Serenity when he walked to the
entrance of the office building. Serenity was out of the car, holding the umbrella he threw onto her car
hood.
Zachary did not have an umbrella.
Just as Zachary was about to run in the rain, a receptionist perceptively grabbed an umbrella and
gave it to him, “It‘s pouring down heavy, Sir. Take this.”
“Thank you.”
Taking the umbrella from the receptionist, Zachary took steady strides out with the umbrella.
All the jealousy disappeared the moment he saw Serenity standing at the entrance.
It never crossed Zachary‘s mind that Serenity would come all this way.
It turned his frown upside down for sure.
She cared about him.
Shawn could shove it even though the boy knew Serenity for more than a decade.
“Zachary.”
Serenity felt like crying when the man finally made an appearance.
He denied her the chance to explain, and he did so every single time. Zachary would take off without a

It was not like she did him dirty. All Serenity did was turn Shawn down and talk him into moving on.
“Why didn‘t you wear the coat? Didn‘t I leave you one?”
Zachary felt bad to see her without the coat he delivered, so he took off his jacket and draped it over
her shoulders.
“The coat is in the car. Don‘t take yours off. You only have a shirt underneath. It‘s getting colder becaus
e of the long downpour.”
Serenity handed the jacket back to him.
Zachary then went to her car to grab the coat. It was a little wet because the persistent rain drenched th
e car hood. Even though he put an umbrella over the coat, the wet hood dampened the coat.
Clamping the umbrella between his neck and shoulder, Zachary checked the insides of the
coat with his free hand. He only draped the coat over Serenity‘s shoulders after confirming the insides
were dry.
“Zachary.”
Serenity looked at him as he held onto the umbrella. Tossing her umbrella aside, she ran
over and jumped into his embrace to hold him tightly. Acting on reflexes, Zachary put his arm around he
r waist.
