NovelEnglishOut of habit, Zachary took a moment of silence before asking, “Ha s the Brown family left? Did they do anything excessive?” “They didn’t do anything overboard , but they did say a lot of nasty stuff. | was so angry | nearly beat them up. They're just as ridiculo us as my relatives. All they did was blame my sister and say it was my sister's fault. They want my sister to go to their place and apologize to Hank with gifts. As if that's going to happen r The mention of the Browns saw a rise in Serenity's blood pressure . Before she knew it, Serenity clicked her tongue on the phone and quickly realized how embarra*singly she behaved. She said, “I got too an gry, Mr. York. | hope you didn't mind my language.” Zachary replied tenderly, “Did you have a stern word with them? Y' ou should chase them out with a broom. They had the audacity to tell your sister to apologize when she was a victim of abuse.” “I roasted them to kingdom come, and they fled the scene. Jasmine took out the b room, but | thought | should keep it together since we're civilized h
uman beings. | didn’t chase them out with the broom.” Zachary was tempted to laugh.

“Where is your brother-in-law working?” Zachary intended to ring up the boss of that company to give Hank some extra attentio n.
That was, of course, only if he knew the boss of the company.
“Waltham Electronics. It's a large— scale company of over three thousand employees that manufactur es mainly electronic parts. My sister and Hank joined the company straight out of college. My sister was in the finance department and worked her way up to be the fi nance director before getting hitched. “She's so gullible to trust Ha nk. She quit her job after marriage and stayed at home to ready h erself for pregnancy. Her pregnancy and time with the baby took th
ree years away from her career while Hank climbed the ladder to become a manager with his own secretary.” “Mr. York, do you know anyone from Waltham Electronics?” Zachary replied, “...
1 don’t know anyone, but I've heard about this company.” York Corporation had a subsidiary company that produced electronic parts too. It shared the same fie Id as ‘Waltham Electronics, so that would make them rivals.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZachary did not run the subsidiary company, but its managing dire ctor would have the information on Waltham Electronics on his de sk should he ask for it.
“Let me know if you need my help.” Zachary adjusted his tie. It was the tie Serenity gave him.
Although it was her thank-you gift for his help, Serenity bought the tie with her money. Zachary woul d put on clothes that she gave him. He planned to carry the miniat ure plant into the office after lunch so that everybody could see it.
They would get online to buy Serenity’s crafts without him spreadi ng the word.
Callum had recommended the handicraft to everybody before, so he trusted they would increase traffic to Serenity's online business Zachary's silent publicity effort would have a way better effect than Callum's.
“I will handle what | can. I'm good without your help for now. Oh, | want to ask you a favor if you can help though. Is your finance dep artment hiring at the moment? My sister wants to pick her career b ack up. It'll give her the confidence to go about the future.” After a brief silence, Zachary responded apologetically,” I'm sorry, Serenity. | can't help you with this. Our finance department is at full capacity now.” Even if York Corporation was h iring, Zachary was not going to place his sister-in- law in the company. He would blow his cover. “It's okay. | was only asking. My sister has the experience, so | believe she can find a j ob and regain her confidence when she decides to return to the w orkplace.” Serenity believed in her sister's capabilities.
