Zachary stood at the door to the balcony and watched Serenity quietly for a minute before turning on his heel to leave for work. All this happened without Serenity knowing.
Carrying his wife’s packed lunch for him, Zachary was on his way to work.
Before leaving, he said to Serenity, “I’m off to work.”
“Drive safe,” Serenity replied kindly.
Zachary closed the door and carried two containers of food down the stairs.
His bodyguard squad was waiting for him there. They were either caught standing, perching, or sitting in the greenery.
Having caught sight of Zachary descending with food containers in hand, the bodyguards got on their feet and stared at him. No one drew close to Zachary.
Zachary was speechless.
What? Did they not recognize him because he was carrying containers of food?
“Sir.”
Thinking on his feet, Jim took quick paces over and attentively took the packed food from Zachary.
Without a word, Jim headed straight to the Rolls Royce.
Soon, the Rolls Royce drove out of the neighborhood escorted by the bodyguards’ vehicles.
Serenity happened to look down from the balcony and saw the luxury sedans, which were commonly spotted in the neighborhood, driving away in convoy. She also caught sight of her man’s national MPV tagging along at the very end.
It was better to give way to the expensive cars than cut into their lane. God forbid if anyone crashed into them. The repair cost would be too much of a burden for ordinary people to afford.
