Zachary said lightly, “Remy’s self-defense isn’t up to par. The Johnsons, like my family in Wiltspoon, are the richest family in Annenburg. For safety reasons, Remy has no choice but to bring more bodyguards everywhere he goes. It’s not like you’re not aware of this fact, so why are you making a fuss now? If you’re envious of Remy’s ostentation, you can also hire eight to ten bodyguards to follow you around.”
Josh did not have bodyguards because he was proficient in martial arts.
Moreover, not many people knew of his identity, so it would be too conspicuous for him to go out with bodyguards.
The two were talking about business when the secretary knocked on the door.
“Mr. York, this is the coffee you asked for.”
The secretary brought over the freshly brewed coffee and placed it gently in front of Zachary.
After the secretary left, Josh joked with his friend-cum-boss. “You don’t have the energy to work after your little romantic rendezvous with your wife, huh? You should drink two more cups of coffee then.”
Zachary’s face was glum.
Romantic rendezvous? Zachary felt that there was some unpleasantness between him and Serenity.
Serenity came to pick him up for lunch, but he was not too happy about it. Although Serenity did not say anything or let alone get mad at him, Zachary had a feeling that she would never come to pick him up at his office again.
“What’s with the long face? Did you two quarrel? I thought your wife was good-tempered.”
Serenity did not seem like an unreasonable person.
Zachary was silent for a long time and did not tell Josh the reason. Josh was tight-lipped, but he was nosy. Zachary was afraid that if Josh knew too much, he would accidentally spill everything when he was drunk. However, Zachary wanted to ask Josh for some advice to ease the invisible deadlock between him and Serenity.
Thus, Zachary said, “I think I hurt her feelings…”
Josh’s eyes lit up. He asked repeatedly, “How did you hurt her feelings? Tell me more about it.”
Zachary kicked Josh from under the table.
Josh felt the kick and said with a grin, “You only said half of the story and left me hanging. Zachary, I don’t take in students like you.”
