Callum brought Nana downstairs and the two prepared to go to the hotel to have lunch.
The moment they exited the office building, Callum spotted Serenity with his sharp eyes.
“Nana, now I understand why Zachary asked me to bring you out for lunch.”
He pointed at the entrance of the office building and said to Nana, “Serenity’s here and she’s even carrying an insulated lunch box. She brought him lunch.”
No wonder Zachary was burning with anxiety about getting him to take Nana and leave. He did not want Nana to third-wheel them.
Nana stopped in her tracks and squinted for a while, saying, “That really is Seren. Hurry and give your cousin a call and remind him to change rooms. Let him use yours, and don’t let Seren find out.”
Callum hummed in acquiescence and called Zachary.
Even without Callum’s heads-up, Zachary knew long ago that Serenity had arrived.
There was a pair of binoculars in his drawer. Once he had sent Nana on her way, he had gone to stand by the window, staring downwards with his binoculars. When he saw Serenity’s car, he put the binoculars back in their original place and hurriedly went downstairs.
Callum drove out of the building with Nana.
He stopped at the entrance to the office and wound down the window to say hi to Serenity.
“Nana, Callum.”
Serenity smiled as she walked over and asked, “Nana, why are you here?”
Nana pulled a long face on purpose and said, “Long story, Seren. I’m going to have lunch first. I’m so hungry! I’ll talk to you tonight.”
“What happened? Okay, Nana, go have your lunch first.”
“Serenity, I’m taking Nana out for lunch. Zachary’s still in his office. You can give him a call and he’ll come out to get you.”
Once Callum finished saying that, he drove away with Nana.
After they had driven for some distance, he laughed and said, “Luckily, I’ve been driving this car to work every day for fear that someday Serenity would come to the office and see that I’m driving a luxury car. If her suspicion started from me, Zachary would skin me alive.”
