Locked Out of Her Heart Chapter 11
Clarence's POVI was getting more and more proficient at my job, and Lucas had become my best friend in Southwich. We went to a live band performance together, stood on our feet for two hours, and yelled until our throats were raw. When the show ended, we went to a street food stall to get some tacos. The owner recognized us and asked, "Extra spicy for both of you again?" "Yeah," I answered. Little things like being remembered made me feel as though the city was slowly beginning to accept me. While we were waiting for the tacos, Lucas suddenly said, "When you first arrived, you looked like a cat that had been caught in the rain, but you're different now.""Different how?" I questioned."Your gaze." Lucas gestured. "In the past, you always looked at things with your head down. Now, you hold your head up."I was taken aback for a moment. Then, I smiled. He was right.…Third-Person POVSerena walked into the notary's office. At the service window, she submitted the documen
Locked Out of Her Heart Chapter 10
Clarence's POVBy the time I left the office building, it was almost 10:00 pm. The night air was cool as I walked home to my rented apartment. It wasn't a long walk. It was just about 15 minutes. After taking a few steps, I suddenly realized that I hadn't thought of Serena in almost a month. When was the last time she had crossed my mind? It appeared to have been the day I went to buy a duvet at the supermarket and saw a bedsheet identical to the one she had. I had stood there in front of the shelf for a few seconds before picking out a different set. From then on, she had completely slipped my mind. I hadn't deliberately tried not to think about her. I genuinely couldn't remember her anymore. After becoming a permanent employee, I moved to a new apartment. It was a bit bigger than my previous studio and had a small balcony. I bought a smart door lock and installed it myself. The technician had said over the phone that he could come over and set it up, but I told him I could
Locked Out of Her Heart Chapter 9
Clarence's POVOn my second Friday at work, I saw Serena in the company lobby as I was leaving the office. She was standing beside the glass doors, wearing a dark gray coat. Lucas was beside me. He followed my gaze and glanced at me before lowering his voice. "Do you know her?""Yeah, she's an old friend. Go on without me." Without uttering another word, Lucas nodded and left.I walked up to Serena, though I wasn't surprised or furious. I merely asked calmly, "What brings you here?""I wanted to apologize to you in person." Her voice was a little hoarse. "For what?"Serena parted her lips, but she was at a loss for words. "Can't think of anything?" I looked at her. "Or do you think a simple apology is enough?"After a prolonged silence, she said, "You saw my order on my computer, didn't you?"Her voice sounded strained. "That night at the hot spring resort, when he suggested going back to the room for a drink, I…" Serena paused before continuing, "I made a stupid mista
Locked Out of Her Heart Chapter 8
Clarence's POVOn Monday morning, I reported for my first day at the new company. The human resources representative gave me a tour, showing me where the restrooms, the pantry, and the fire extinguishers were. Ultimately, she led me to an empty workstation. A short-haired guy was sitting at the desk next to mine. "Hey, welcome aboard! I'm Lucas Smith.""I'm Clarence Calloway," I responded."Nice to meet you, Clarence. Let's grab lunch together! I'll show you around then."I sat down, placed my mug in the corner of the desk, and turned on the computer, waiting for IT to come and install the system. Lucas had already put his headphones back on and started working, humming under his breath. No one went out of their way to look at me, nor did anyone ignore me. It was just the right amount of distance—not too close, not too distant. When lunchtime rolled around, Lucas really did come over to get me, and we went to the cafeteria together. It wasn't a long walk, but he talked nonsto
Locked Out of Her Heart Chapter 7
Clarence's POVI stayed at the hotel for two days. On the morning of the third day, I went to a design firm for an interview. The interviewer was the design director, a man in his 30s. He flipped through a few pages of my portfolio and nodded. "Your style is pretty clean. Why did you leave your previous job in the last city?"I thought about it for a moment before responding, "I wanted a change of environment." He didn't press further. After closing my portfolio, he said, "That'll be all. We'll let you know next week."I rose to my feet and thanked him.When I walked out of the conference room, I passed through the open-plan office. "Are you a new hire?" someone asked casually as he walked past me with a coffee mug. Before I even had a chance to answer, he was called away by his colleague.It was the kind of busy, bustling atmosphere where no one went out of their way to talk to anyone else. For some reason, I liked it.When I walked out of the company building, the sun
Locked Out of Her Heart Chapter 6
Clarence's POVThe train departed at 2:00 am. I bought a coach ticket, and only a handful of passengers were scattered throughout the carriage. I blocked Serena's number and archived our chat on WhatsApp. By the time day broke, I had arrived in Southwich. I found a budget hotel near the train station. When the receptionist asked how long I'd be staying, I said I'd play it by ear for the time being. I wasn't sure yet. Once I entered the room, I put my suitcase down. Then, I unlocked my phone and started browsing job openings in Southwich on a job-search app. …Third-Person POVSerena returned home, changed her shoes, and walked into the living room. There was still a throw pillow on the couch that Clarence had used the last time he was there. It was slightly crumpled where he had squeezed it. She walked over and smoothed the pillow out. Standing in the middle of the living room, she looked around. She couldn't put her finger on what was wrong, but somehow, her house felt mu
