Chapter 110
Zachary put the packed food on Callum‘s desk and said gruffly, “Serenity knows we‘re working in the same company. She made extra for breakfast and asked me to bring some to you. It‘s not healthy to eat out all the time.”
“You used to eat out all the time, Zack.”
Although the meals were at their own hotel, it was still eating out. Putting down his cup of coffee, Callum eagerly took out one of the food containers and removed the lid. “I couldn‘t stop thinking about Serenity‘s cooking for days after getting a taste of it last Saturday.
“Wow! Look at the variety, abundance, and presentation! I bet it tastes good.” Callum opened up both containers, gasping in awe of Serenity‘s ingenuity. Not only was Serenity brilliant in crafts, but she had a talent for cooking too.
No wonder Nana took to Serenity and insisted on Zack marrying her
She was a combination of beauty, grace, and talent.
Seeing that Callum was delighted, Zachary seemingly casually said, “Serenity got up first thing in the morning
and prepared a nutritious breakfast spread to thank me for helping her. I couldn‘t finish it, so she packed you some.”
Callum was lost for words.
He quickly curled his lips. “Surely, Serenity only packed the food you hadn’t touched.”
Zachary‘s turn in silence. Had he known, Zachary would have taken a few bites out of everything. The boy would not be so smug if he was eating Zachary‘s leftovers. “Anything else, Zack?”
“What? Why are you in a rush to kick me out after I hand delivered food to you?”
While giving Callum a dirty look, Zachary‘s eyes stumbled upon a copper wire craft on the corner of the desk. It looked like a miniature tree.
Zachary picked up the craft for a closer inspection and said, “I think this art piece comes from the same artist as the ones Nana displayed at home.”
Since Nana put Serenity‘s craftworks on display in the most prominent areas of the house, it was hard not to notice.
“Good eye.” Callum sat down and dug into the homemade breakfast while complimenting, “Serenity
made it. She was stocking up on inventory when I dropped Nana off at the shop. She gave me a miniature copper tree.
“Zack, it‘s not without a reason that Nana likes Serenity. She‘s pretty good with her hands. It‘s like she breathes life into her masterpieces. Everybody has been saying how pretty it is since I put her craft there. They went online and bought some for themselves too.
“I recommended Serenity‘s online business to them. It should boost her sales.”
Zachary quietly put the miniature tree down and said faintly, “Enjoy your breakfast and get back to work after that. Don‘t try to slack off.”
He turned around and took off.
Callum spoke with food in his mouth, “Bye, Zack. See you around.”
Zachary stopped at the door and looked back. His gaze fell on the miniature tree. Still, he said nothing as he opened the door and left.
Catching on to the situation, Callum chuckled and mumbled, “Could he be jealous?”
Otherwise , Zachary would not be fixated on the copper wire tree before running along
Zachary was feeling weird about it.
He was still Serenity‘s husband even though they had no feelings for each other. Yet, Serenity gave Callum her handiwork while he got nothing.
He could not put his ego aside and ask her for one too.
However, he did not feel right either that he had no copper wire plant to display on his desk. In fact, he felt left out by Serenity
