Chapter 385
The scene unfolded as the bodyguards rubbed their eyes in disbelief. After confirming that what they had witnessed was indeed real, they quickly turned and rushed back to their apartments in the same building to rest. It appeared that the boss and his wife were doing well.
Zachary carried Serenity upstairs and rang the doorbell to their house. Soon after, Mrs. Lane answered the door. “Mr. Z–York, what happened to Ms. Hunt?” she inquired, almost addressing him as Mr. Zachary again.
“She had two bottles of beer and fell fast asleep,” Zachary replied as he carried Serenity into the room.
Mrs. Lane quickly grasped the situation. She closed the door and locked it. “Mr. York, do you need my assistance?” she asked, approaching him.
“Just open the door to her room for me,” Zachary requested, gesturing for Mrs. Lane to help him access Serenity’s room.
Mrs. Lane complied without hesitation.
“Mrs. Lane, you can return to your room now. She won’t cause any trouble; she’ll be sound asleep due to the alcohol,” Zachary assured her. Mrs. Lane nodded and turned to go back.
Even if Serenity did stir, Zachary felt confident he could manage it. He walked to the bed, gently placed Serenity down, and helped her remove her shoes. He tenderly pulled the quilt over her before standing up to leave. As he turned to walk away, he suddenly remembered something important. He bent down and kissed Serenity’s lips softly. After stealing that kiss, Zachary walked away with a satisfied smile.
Just as he reached the door, he paused again. Given that Serenity was in such a deep sleep, he realized it was the perfect moment to retrieve her copy of the agreement.
