Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 158
Out of habit, Zachary took a moment of silence before asking, “Has the Brown family left? Did they do anything excessive?”
“They didn‘t do anything overboard , but they did say a lot of nasty stuff. I was so angry I nearly beat them up. They‘re just as
ridiculous as my relatives. All they did was blame my sister and say it was my sister‘s fault. They want my sister to go to their
place and apologize to Hank with gifts. As if that‘s going to happen!”
The mention of the Browns saw a rise in Serenity‘s blood pressure. Before she knew it, Serenity clicked her tongue on the phone
and quickly realized how embarrassingly she behaved. She said, “I got too angry, Mr. York. I hope you didn‘t mind my language.”
Zachary replied tenderly, “Did you have a stern word with them? You should chase them out with a broom. They had the audacity
to tell your sister to apologize when she was a victim of abuse.”
“I roasted them to kingdom come, and they fled the scene. Jasmine took out the broom, but I thought I should keep it together
since we‘re civilized human beings. I didn‘t chase them out with the broom.”
Zachary was tempted to laugh.
Serenity was not a tolerant person, but she put up with it for the sake of her sister‘s future and before her sister made a decision.
It was hard on Serenity.
“Where is your brother–in–law working?”
Zachary intended to ring up the boss of that company to give Hank some extra attention.
That was, of course, only if he knew the boss of the company.
“Waltham Electronics. It‘s a large–scale company of over three thousand employees that manufactures mainly electronic parts.
My sister and Hank joined the company straight out of college. My sister was in the finance department and worked her way up
to be the finance director before getting hitched. “She‘s so gullible to trust Hank. She quit her job after marriage and stayed at
home to ready herself for pregnancy. Her pregnancy and time with the baby took three years away from her career while Hank
climbed the ladder to become a manager with his own secretary.”
“Mr. York, do you know anyone from Waltham Electronics?”
Zachary replied, “...I don‘t know anyone, but I‘ve heard about this company.”
York Corporation had a subsidiary company that produced electronic parts too. It shared the same field as
Waltham Electronics, so that would make them rivals.
Zachary did not run the subsidiary company, but its managing director would have the information on Waltham Electronics on his
desk should he ask for it.
“Let me know if you need my help.”
Zachary adjusted his tie. It was the tie Serenity gave him.
Although it was her thank–you gift for his help, Serenity bought the tie with her money. Zachary would put on clothes that she
gave him. He planned to carry the miniature plant into the office after lunch so that everybody could see it. They would get online

to buy Serenity‘s crafts without him spreading the word.
Callum had recommended the handicraft to everybody before, so he trusted they would increase traffic to Serenity‘s online
business.
Zachary‘s silent publicity effort would have a way better effect than Callum‘s.
“I will handle what I can. I‘m good without your help for now. Oh, I want to ask you a favor if you can help though. Is your finance
department hiring at the moment? My sister wants to pick her career back up. It‘ll give her the confidence to go about the future.”
After a brief silence, Zachary responded apologetically,” I‘m sorry, Serenity. I can‘t help you with this. Our finance
department is at full capacity now.” Even if York Corporation was hiring, Zachary was not going to place his sister-in-law in the
company. He would blow his cover. “It‘s okay. I was only asking. My sister has the experience, so I believe she can find a job and
regain her confidence when she decides to return to the workplace.” Serenity believed in her sister‘s capabilities.
