Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 187

“Mr. York, I’m outside your office. Are you on your lunch break yet? I’m here to take you to my shop for lunch. Surprise!”

Zachary was lost for words.

Sure, it was a surprise, but not the good kind.

Thank goodness he was good at staying composed because that was quite a scare.

“Mr. York?” Serenity said as she did not get a response from the man.

Tugging on his tie, Zachary replied in a husky voice, “I’m on my break but the client hasn’t left. We’re still ironing out the business details with the client, so it’ll probably take a while. Why don’t you go ahead, and I’ll meet you at your shop for lunch?”

“How long more do you need? I didn’t drive. I took a cab. It’s okay. I’ll wait for you outside your office building. We can go back together when you’re done with your work.”

Zachary lifted his arm to look at his watch before responding, “There’s a dessert shop right across the office. Wait for me there. I’ll see you in a bit.”

Serenity turned her head and saw the dessert shop. Without a second thought, she took Zachary’s suggestion.

Once Serenity hung up the call, Zachary unconsciously sighed in relief.

He was afraid she might barge in here and that would give his game away…

Since Serenity came for him, Zachary went to the VIP reception and quickly closed the deal with the client.

He then arranged for Josh and the few senior executives to take the client to have a meal at the Wiltspoon Hotel.

“Aren’t you coming along, Mr. York?” the client asked.

“Something came up, so I can’t have lunch with you, Mr. Johnson. We’ll have it some other time.”

He whipped out his phone to call his bodyguards to wait for him on the first floor of the office building.

A few minutes later, Zachary went down to the first floor.

“Sir.”

“Go on and have your lunch. No need to follow me. Just give me the keys to the MPV.” Zachary said as he walked.

A bodyguard handed the keys of the MPV over to Zachary.

The bodyguards followed behind Zachary when the latter waved them off. It was a signal to stop following Zachary.

Since Mr. Zachary was using the MPV, it could only mean that he would be with the missus. In that case, they should not tag along.
