Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709

Zachary fell silent for a while before gruffly uttering, “I believe you should be on top of keeping Elisa away.”

He could not possibly be the one to get rid of Elisa.

“We’ll make arrangements. You need to text me before coming, so I can distract her away from seeing you. I’ll keep my parents in the loop too.”

Zachary had no problems with the plan.

He did not want Elisa to know about him and Serenity for now.

They were in the honeymoon period of their relationship. God knew what Elisa would do in a moment of madness when she found out.

“I probably can’t make time before New Year, but I’ll find time to visit your family with Serenity after.”

Serenity had lost her parents. There was no way she would visit her money–hungry relatives back in her hometown.

Family to Serenity was Liberty and the Stones.

Clive asked, “What are you doing before New Year? Isn’t your office closed by Christmas Eve?”

Stone Group was giving its employees time off around that time. Major corporations tended to be busy during the year–end, only pausing their operations just before Christmas.

“I’ll be swamped with work in the next few days, and then there’s the company’s annual dinner. I need to fly to Annenburg the following day after the annual dinner for the CEO of FC & Co.’s wedding. I’ll probably be back just before New Year.”

Clive had caught wind of the wedding bells ringing for the CEO of FC & Co., but he did not receive an invitation because his company had no business with FC & Co. Since York Corporation and FC & Co. were business partners, Remy got on well with Zachary. It made sense that Zachary would make the trip to Annenburg.

“I’m envious of you,” Clive remarked.

Zachary immediately got the meaning behind his words.

Clive was envious that Zachary had business and personal relations with people like Ben.

Clive took a moment in silence too. He nodded without another word.

Although he gave Zachary a hard time, Clive could tell that Zachary’s feelings for Serenity were real.

Zachary would not give Clive the time of day if he did not fall in love with Serenity. He would not sit here to talk to Clive and would walk away the moment Clive’s bodyguards stopped him at the door.

“It’s late. You should get back.”

Clive turned off the TV and picked up the car keys. He rose to his feet. “I should get home before my wife gets anxious from waiting.”

Zachary snuck out whereas Clive’s wife knew that Clive was meeting with Zachary. Alice was waiting for Clive at home, probably scared that Clive and Zachary might get into a tiff.

Getting up, Zachary walked out of the room with Clive.

The pair sauntered alongside each other to the lift, but there was no more exchange of words.
