Chapter 1333
After greeting the hosts, everyone started looking for their friends to chat with or discuss
business.
At first, Serenity stayed by Zachary’s side. He did not have to go to other people to discuss collaborations as there were many
CEOs who wished to collaborate with him.
Serenity watched as Zachary became the spotlight no matter where he went. Everyone revolved around him.
She whispered to her husband, “I overestimated myself when I said I wanted to be on equal standing as you.”
Rather than thinking of being on par with him, running behind him would be good enough for her.
Zachary raised their interlocked hands. He stared into her with smiling eyes and said gently,” We’re holding hands and standing
shoulder to shoulder now.
“Honey, to me, there’s no distance between us. If there were any, it would be me being a man and you being a woman.”
Serenity smiled. She had learned socializing from Aunt Audrey for some time. She figured out and learned many things along the
way and gained more self–confidence.
Zachary had an advantageous starting line. Catching up to him was impossible for her.
However, the fact that she was his wife was permanent. Her in–laws had never objected to their relationship or disliked her.
There was no reason for her to bring trouble to herself.
Serenity decided to go with the flow.
She would continue working hard and accept how far her career could progress.
Serenity resolved to confront everything she had to as Mrs. York calmly.
She would accept everything, such as praise, criticism, and sarcastic or hateful remarks.
No one could make everyone like them. No matter how well a person performed, there would always be haters nitpicking. It
would be fine as long as a person had a clear conscience. There was no need to care about what others said because their
mouths belonged to themselves.
After Serenity got married to Zachary, she reached the prime of her life. Many people were jealous
of her.
“Babe, I think I love you so much right now.”
Zachary’s gaze was soft. His eyes were filled with happiness. “I love you very much too.”
“Zachary.”
Josh brought Jasmine over. They had a glass of red wine in their hands. Upon meeting a familiar friend, they greeted each other
with a toast.
Zachary and his wife looked toward the lovely couple. He whispered to her, “Don’t hide in a corner and eat like a glutton with
Jasmine like you did last year.”
Serenity was speechless.
“You two can be considered a long–married couple, yet you’re still lovey–dovey in public spaces.”
Josh initially wanted to clink glasses with Zachary after walking over. However, after seeing that the married couple did not have
a glass of wine in their hands like other people, he called a waiter and handed Zachary a glass of wine. Zachary turned and
glanced at Serenity.
“Mrs. York.”
Josh teased Serenity with a smile. “Can our CEO drink tonight?”
Serenity replied, “Of course.”
Why would they ask her that question?
Zachary had many business engagements and often had to drink. It was okay as long as he did not get utterly drunk.
Serenity did not remember herself controlling Zachary’s alcohol intake.
Josh clinked glasses with Zachary with a grin. He said to Serenity, “Looking at your expression just now, it seems like you’ve
been taking the blame for our CEO many times. Whenever Zachary attended a business engagement lately, he would say that
his wife didn’t allow him to drink and that he would need to sleep in the study if he did.”
Serenity said, “Didn’t I say that only once before?”
She knew that Zachary had used her as an excuse once.
