Chapter 242
Liberty returned to the bookstore and had another unsuccessful day at job hunting.
Zachary was speechless when he heard what his grandmother told him.
His grandmother sounded like she was gloating.
“I won’t talk nonsense with you. Just come over for lunch now. Otherwise, I’ll tell Serenity that you’re the heir to York Corporation! Don’t try me. I found you a way to break this stalemate, but you don’t want to budge. By the way, I’ll tell you another secret. The gift that Elisa wants to give you is from Serenity. You’ll only know what it is when you accept it.”
Zachary’s face turned even darker.
His grandmother promised him that she would not interfere in his affairs with Serenity, but she threatened him by saying she would reveal his real identity to Serenity.
Zachary hung up the call, but Grandma May did not care. She was also about to end the call anyway.
“Mr. York, Ms. Stone refuses to give way,” the driver turned his head and said to Zachary.
Zachary was silent for a minute. Suddenly, he opened the door to get out of the car.
Elisa was elated to see Zachary getting out of the car and immediately went forward with the gift box that contained the two phoenixes. Her beautiful big eyes stared at Zachary’s handsome face fondly. Even though Zachary looked grim and indifferent, it did not affect his charm.
He was utterly handsome and cool!
Elisa fell in love with Zachary’s appearance.
“Mr. York, this is for you. Thank you for helping me this morning. I don’t like to owe favors, so since you helped me, I owe you one. May I invite you for lunch to repay your kindness?”
Elisa handed the box to Zachary with both hands and looked at Zachary expectantly.
She felt that Serenity’s idea was pretty useful.
Since Elisa started using Serenity’s method of chasing men, Zachary was willing to get out of his car to meet her.
Zachary stared at the box.
Grandma May said Elisa bought this gift from Serenity.
It must be one of Serenity’s craftworks.
Serenity gave Elisa the lucky cat that she promised him the last time. When he found out and got angry, Serenity promised to give him a golden dragon on top of the lucky cat, but he still did not receive the gifts.
Did Serenity give them to Elisa again?
With this doubt in mind, Zachary somehow took the gift box that Elisa handed over.
He opened the box and retrieved the contents from the box right before Elisa. There were two phoenixes.
“Mr. York, do you like them? I think these two phoenixes are magnificent and lifelike.”
It was a big surprise to Elisa that Zachary would take the gift box and open it.
Elisa grinned and looked at Zachary with admiration in her eyes.
Zachary thought, ‘At least Serenity didn’t give Elisa my gifts.‘
He stuffed the two phoenixes back into the box and threw the box back to Elisa before he turned around and returned to his car.
Zachary ignored Elisa’s lunch invitation to repay his favor.
“Jim, drag her aside!” Zachary instructed Jim in a deep voice as he got back to his car.
Jim complied.
He easily dragged Elisa aside. Elisa was so furious that she kept stomping on Jim’s feet, which made Jim wince in pain.
