In fact, Zachary felt that actions spoke louder than words.
It was easier to prove his love for her with concrete actions than to say sweet nothings with his mouth.
Of course, if Serenity liked to listen to mushy words, then he would learn no matter how cringy it was.
Josh stood up and leaned over to remind his friend in a whisper, “Ask about Ms. Sox.”
Zachary pushed him away lightly with one hand. After chatting for a while longer with Serenity over the phone, he helped Josh ask, “Seren, will Ms. Sox be back at the store this afternoon? My colleague was thinking of going to see her because she’s not feeling well.”
Serenity replied, “Jas is not coming over. I told her to rest at home and come back when her fever was completely gone. Does your colleague want to see her? He can call her directly and ask her out.”
“Ms. Sox is sick, and the temperature dropped today so it’s even colder. My colleague will blame himself if her condition worsens after he asks her out. Send me a message when she goes back to work. I’ll talk to my colleague.”
“Sure. Zachary, is there hope for those two?”
It was Serenity’s first time playing matchmaker and she hoped the result would turn out well.
“Ms. Sox hasn’t shared with you whether she has taken a liking to my colleague yet, right? My colleague feels a spark with Ms. Sox and wants to try dating her with marriage in mind.”
“I haven’t had the time to ask Jas in the past few days, but I’ll ask her someday. She’s a great girl, so it’s only expected that your colleague likes her.”
In Serenity’s eyes, Jasmine was truly great.
Zachary laughed.
He did not tell his beloved wife that Josh was interested in Jasmine because the latter got famous after lying down at Mrs. Dawson’s birthday party.
“Zachary, I’ll get going now. I need to rush my orders.”
“Sure. Don’t overwork yourself. Go home around eight in the evening.
Zachary admonished, “Your man has the money to support the family and you.”
“I don’t need you to support me. I can support myself. However, I won’t refuse if you hand your money to me to save.”
After witnessing how her sister’s marriage went from endearing to shattered, Serenity was cautious and insisted on financial independence after marriage. She would not believe nonsense like “I’ll support you” that comes out of a man’s mouth.
It was better to self-reliant than to depend on others.
