When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 220. So Test Me, Adrian.
Adrian’s Point of ViewSofia looked at me, her eyes filled with concern, and then gently took Richard's hand.“Uncle, please calm down. Adrian has only just heard about this. I think he may need more time to make a decision.”I knew she was just trying to help me here, but…“No matter how much time I get, I'm not going to change my mind.”I didn't care if any other project became a collaborative project between the two companies. No matter how much I hated it, I would still endure it.But letting the project Serena was working on become a collaborative project?No.I wasn't going to let that happen.Richard smiled faintly at Sofia and gently patted her hand.“Adrian, I've told you many times that when it comes to business, we can't make decisions with our hearts. You may feel that this project is your own possession and be reluctant to share it with another company. But as the future heir, you have to think of the greater good.”“We need to show that this alliance is producing actual
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 219. A War Behind Closed Doors
Adrian’s Point of ViewI watched the last member of the special project team leave the conference room.Serena was the last one to reach the door.Before stepping outside, she turned slightly and looked at me.I could see the worry in her eyes.I gave her a small nod, hoping she'd understand what I was trying to tell her.Don't worry, angel. I'll handle this.Once the door closed, I turned toward Richard.“Let's go to my office.”He stood up without saying anything, and Sofia followed us quietly.I walked ahead of them, taking deep breaths as I tried to control the irritation that had been building inside me ever since Richard appeared with Sofia in the conference room.I hated the way he'd made Serena uncomfortable in front of everyone.But I hated even more that I couldn't stop him from doing it.I knew perfectly well that he hadn't wanted any precise answers from Serena.Even without me telling him, he would have already known that Serena was an engineer and wasn't closely involved
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 218. A Question Meant for Me
Serena’s Point of View“Aren't you the best friend of my son?”For a second, my whole mind went blank.The room seemed to become dead silent too.Despite all the warnings I'd continuously given myself, my gaze shifted toward Adrian.He was staring at me, his expression turning dangerously still.Then Adrian opened his mouth slightly. He was about to say something when Richard spoke again.“If my memory serves me right, it was you Noah introduced to us as his best friend, wasn't it?”Noah…I let out a sigh of relief.I forced a smile.“Yes, I'm one of his friends.”Richard shook his head.“Not just one of his friends, I think. I've heard quite a bit about you.”I didn't know what I was supposed to say.He watched my face for a few seconds.“Why don't you answer my question?”“Me?”I swallowed hard.“Yes.”He gestured casually toward the screen.“You're part of this project, aren't you?”“Yes.”“Then explain to me which customer segment you've identified as the most profitable and how y
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 217. Aren’t You My Son’s Best Friend?
Serena’s Point of ViewMy fingers tightened around the pen in my hand as I looked at Richard and Sofia standing together in the conference room where neither of them belonged.What were the two of them doing here together?On the very first day Adrian returned to work.And without even informing Adrian?A strange nervousness settled in my stomach.It was the kind of nervousness you felt when you were pretty sure something bad was going to happen, but you didn't exactly know what.However, it seemed like I wasn't the only one startled by these unannounced visitors.The entire room had gone unusually quiet.Becky held my hand tightly under the table. Peter and Jack exchanged a quick glance, while the others looked between Richard, Sofia, and Adrian as though they were trying to understand what was going on.After all, there was no reason for either of them to suddenly appear in an internal project progress meeting.Adrian's expression didn't change much compared to everyone else's in th
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 216. Because Somehow, I Got You
Serena’s Point of ViewAfter getting home, we ate together, and Adrian took his medicine.Then we settled on the sofa with the TV on.There was a random movie playing on TV, and we were both just absentmindedly watching it.The movie was going well. Both main characters were FBI agents chasing a criminal.Then suddenly, the male lead wrapped his arms around the female lead and pulled her closer. They began kissing each other as if they'd completely forgotten they were chasing a criminal.And right then, Adrian's arm wrapped around my waist, and he pulled me closer.“What?”He looked at me seriously.“You said I would get something bigger than a kiss when we got home.”I stared at him.“I didn't say anything like that.”His eyebrows pulled together.“You did.”“No, I didn't.”“You absolutely did.”“You were the one who said that!”“You didn't say no.”“That doesn't mean I agreed to it.”He pouted.Actually pouted.I bit my lip, trying to hide my smile.Then his expression softened.“Ca
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 215. Enough for Me Right Now
Serena’s Point of View“What do you mean?”Adrian asked, his eyes filled with an uncertainty that was so rare for him.“I mean we shouldn't hastily change our plan. Let's go ahead with the engagement and let your father and everyone else believe you're cooperating. Meanwhile, we'll work harder behind everyone's backs to make sure your plan succeeds as soon as possible.”“But… angel…”“Listen to me first, okay?”I gently pressed my palm against his cheek.Pressing his lips together, he leaned his cheek against my palm, letting me speak.“I'm not going to lie to you and say this doesn't hurt me.”My voice became quieter.“Thinking about another woman standing beside you hurts me so much.”His fingers tightened around mine.“And thinking about you having to get engaged to her too…”I swallowed.“It breaks my heart.”“Angel…”“Shh…”I pressed my finger against his lips.“But I know you don't love her.”“I don't.”“I know.”“And I never will.”“I know that too.”I looked at Theo's tombston
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 8. It’s You…
Adrian’s Point of ViewI returned to the office after the meeting at 4Axis.There were documents waiting. There were always documents waiting.I went through one file, trying to read the figures carefully, but I wasn’t focused.My mind kept returning to the restaurant.To her.I hadn’t expected to
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 7. Adrian Henrix
Serena’s Point of View“Sir… I didn’t realize you had arrived.”Marco’s tone shifted instantly into something respectful and polite as he stepped toward the table by the window.The tall man in the dark suit didn’t respond. He simply looked at the customer, his eyes completely emotionless.I turned

Serena’s Point of View“For table seven!”Lucy called from the kitchen, and I quickly picked up the tray.It was a Friday evening, my third day at Lena’s. With Lena suddenly ill, Marco was managing the restaurant, and the whole place felt slightly off.I made my way through the crowded tables.The
When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me 5. Starting Over Alone
Serena’s Point of ViewFinding a place to stay wasn’t easy, and I didn’t have the luxury to be picky.After a few calls and visits, I finally found a room in a shared apartment.Fortunately, they only required the monthly rent as a deposit.The place was small, just enough for a bed, a table, and a
