Serenity bent over to hold the cat up.
“Missus, you might want to sweet-talk Mr. Zachary. He hasn’t eaten anything since he got up.”
Mrs. Lane had no words for her boss’s sudden tantrum.
She would not know Zachary had a childish side to him if she did not work here.
While stroking the cat, Serenity remarked, “Mrs. Lane, you must let me know why he’s angry before I can calm him down. I didn’t do anything.”
Mrs. Lane whispered, “I think Mr. Zachary is angry that you went out early in the morning. He must be hoping you would spend time with him since he’s home for the weekend.”
Serenity replied, “I went to help my sister at her diner… Although it’s the weekend, many factories are not closed. The workers still went to work. My sister’s breakfast place was going to be packed, so I left early to help her. But I came home early. I’m back before ten o’clock.”
It did not cross her mind that Zachary would sulk over a trivial matter.
Mrs. Lane was at a loss for words.
“I’ll go in and cheer him up.”
Knowing what her man was like, Serenity helplessly carried the cat into the room.
It struck Mrs. Lane to remind Serenity from taking the cat into the room when Serenity walked through the door. Alas, it was too late.
Mrs. Lane guessed it would only put Mr. Zachary in a worse mood.
Serenity set foot into the bedroom with the cat in her arms.
Zachary stood behind a window with his back facing the bedroom door.
He did not turn around when the door was pushed open.
Serenity drew close and stood next to him, admiring the view outside the window with him. She asked, “What are you looking at?”
