Zachary felt brushed off.
He pulled a long face the entire afternoon, leaving everyone at York Corporation on tenterhooks. It was a mystery who stepped on the toes of the stone-faced CEO.
As if his usual aloof demeanor was not enough, the tensed lines running along his chiseled face only made him scarier.
Even Callum and Josh refrained from hanging around Zachary.
Despite feeling exasperated, Zachary kept his promise and waited for Serenity at the shop after work.
Since Serenity was busy, he stepped into the shop to help out behind the cash register.
However, the combination of his stern outlook, his quiet presence, and his towering build scared the students away from the cash register. The students could only muster the courage to approach Serenity and Jasmine.
Serenity said to him point-blank, “I’ll take over from here, Mr. York.”
Tilting his head, Zachary stared into Serenity’s eyes with utmost profundity. It took a while before he got up with a sour face and walked around the cash register to head outside the shop and stand like an ice sculpture. It was hard not to notice as Zachary stood there, emanating ominous vibes to stay away.
Now the issue was not that no one came to him to make payment, but no one dared to set foot into the shop other than the people who were already there.
Serenity, “…”
Realizing this, Jasmine drew close and whispered in her best friend’s ear, “Serenity, take Mr. York away now. I can handle the shop on my own. His presence at the entrance is causing our sales to plummet.”
“Appreciate it, Jas.”
