Serena's Pov “I was just in the lounge when he came to meet me and, after complimenting me, he made me realize that he knows you and he seems to be your fan, because most of our conversations were based on you,” I explained to Adrien.When I explained this to him, he then calmed down and paced around for a while.“I'm sorry, Serena. "I don't know what got into me.” He apologized, and I let out a sigh and moved closer to him.“It's fine. "Every man would act that way for his woman,” I said to him, referring to the fact that we had to maintain an engaged status outside.Then I noticed he had a package in his hands.“Is that for me?” I asked with a tease.He chuckled and handed it over to me.“Yes, it is.” He responded with a smile.I opened the package and gasped in surprise as I saw the contents.“Oh, my. "They're all pretty,” I said, feeling so happy with all that he brought to me. “Thanks so much.” I appreciated him and hugged him so tightly.“You're welcome. We should go on a date
Serena's Pov I was in my room arranging some things since there happened to be two rooms for us. Also, it seems we'll be staying for a while, so it's only advisable for me to arrange my things with the time I get just so I'll quickly be able to reach anything that I need without wasting much time.My eyes fell on the rose which Adrien got for me the moment we walked out of the airport and I smiled. I walked to my bed, sat on it and picked up the rose.It really had a nice memory attached to it; something I will always remember even after leaving Paris. Although, I still don't understand why I started feeling this way, but maybe because I'm trying to make things seem more realistic.I left the room and went down to the lounge where I got a nice drink to help me calm down and cool my thoughts and mind.While drinking, I began to scroll through my phone, checking what was on social media and was also texting Bella, who was making me smile from time to time. That woman is just real hype.
Serena's Pov ~flashback~“One more important thing regarding where we are going to, we need to act like lovers. It's important as it would only make your mission with a high percent chance of being successful,” Adrien informed me.That was quite difficult to agree to, but since it gave me a pretty high chance of getting back at Killian and his so-called wife, Samantha, I didn't think it was something I needed to say no to.“What's your say? "Are you in or not?” he asked me, waiting to hear me speak.I cleared my throat, and raised my chin, acting unbothered by his offer, then sighed softly.“I'm in.” I responded with determination to make this work right.We had a little conversation about how everything was supposed to be, and after then, I was escorted out of his office and the company by Ethan, who was kind enough to do so.“So, I guess it's a done deal between you and my boss,” Ethan said to me with a slight smile.“Yes, it is. "I'm glad I was able to meet up to the standards and
Serena's PovI turned on the shower, shut my eyes as I raised my head to the sprouts of water that was coming out, and I felt so relaxed, especially because of the way the water ran through my hair and touched my scalp.It was a good feeling.“So, right now, I am in Paris. "Bella would be so happy knowing that I'm here already,” I said to myself and giggled.Suddenly, while bathing, I felt a sudden presence with me and my heart didn't feel at ease with this presence.I slowly turned around to find out who or what it was and as I turned around, I screamed in fear that I had slipped and was falling like time suddenly became slow.“The moment my head hits the ground, something terrible is definitely going to happen to me.” “Adrien!”Thankfully, Adrien was able to catch me before I fell and hit my head against the wall or the floor. I was breathing heavily as he caught me and I burst out into laughter.“Are you okay? "I'm sorry I caught you unaware.” Adrien apologized as he helped me sta
Serena's Pov“What job might that be?” I asked, out of curiosity, seeing as he was taking his time to speak further.“Hmm. "I see you're quite interested, even more than I thought,” he spoke, with a smirk.That was sort of humiliating, but I tried my best to stay calm and act like he said nothing of such.“Wasn’t it expected of me to ask?”“Hmm. "You're right. "I just needed to find out if you might have a little interest in it, at least.” He responded, then leaned to the comfort of his executive chair.“Well, you have your answer now.”“Alright. So, like I said, I think you are fit for the task, which I see as the first step towards you getting back at your ex-husband. "But the question is, are you ready to do it regardless?” Adrien asked, tapping his fingers on the table.I looked within myself for a minute and when I raised my head, I looked into his eyes, searching for the explanation he was yet to give.“Sorry. "Did I make the atmosphere tense?” he asked, sarcastically.That was
Serena's Pov7:45amI stood right outside the company, staring at the building with anxiousness building up inside me. The fact that he had told me that it was an offer that would make me able to stand up to Killian and others and emit a powerful aura when I'm around them made me feel a bit tensed as I was now close to the building.“Serena, it's just going to be a meeting where all you have to do is to say yes to everything.” I encouraged myself and adjusted my clothes.I took out my phone and checked the time.“7:50am. "I had better hurry before I actually ran late,” I uttered, and walked into the building.Then I walked towards the reception.“Good morning, ma'am. "How may we help you?” One of the receptionists asked me with a bright, welcoming smile. “I'm Serena Callaway, and I'm here to see Adrian Volkov,” I replied in a calm tone.“Do you have an appointment with him?” She asked politely without putting down her smile.“Yes,” I responded, and then took out my phone again to che
