Serenity carried Sonny all the way to the car. She unlocked and opened the door to place Sonny in his child’s seat. She then turned around to face Zachary who was standing behind her. “I got to go.”
Zachary looked into her eyes for a while before finding his voice. “Okay.”
He looked at her front bumper and commented, “You should use another car.”
Serenity had gotten into the car and started the engine by then. Winding down the window, she said, “This is the first car you gave me.”
Zachary’s eyes darkened.
She drove off.
Standing there, Zachary watched as her car disappeared.
Jim, together with the other bodyguards, stood on duty a distance away. They dared not come close.
Although Mr. Zachary and his wife did not get into another fight, the couple was distant from each other. The prior lovingness was no more.
Once Serenity’s car was out of sight, Zachary put his hand up and waved.
His security detail approached.
“To the office,” Zachary uttered gruffly.
With Jim notifying the chauffeur to bring the car around, Zachary got into his Rolls Royce and returned to the office with his security convoy.
Meanwhile, Serenity had arrived at her sister’s breakfast diner.
The renovation at Liberty’s restaurant was coming to an end. She had all the things she needed. All that was left was placing the furniture and tidying up before the opening day.
