Serena's Point of View

"Are you okay?"

I had lost count of how many times Adrian had asked me that question during the lowest moments of my life.

I quickly nodded.

"I'm fine."

The last thing I wanted was for him to become involved in this mess.

Adrian was someone who should have had nothing to do with these disgusting people or the ugly things they had done.

Still...

Somehow...

No words could possibly describe how I felt the moment I heard his deep voice.

"Is there a problem here?"

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   56. Without Wasting Your Time on Me

    Serena's Point of ViewLife was truly ironic.When I was younger, I never stood up for myself.I always put others before me.I endured more than I should have.I forgave people who didn't even deserve forgiveness.Yet in the end, I lost everything.My home.My marriage.The future I had dreamed of.Then I rebuilt my life from nothing.And I promised myself that I would never allow anyone to bully me again.Yet here I was.Doing exactly that.Letting others hurt me however they wanted.Not because I couldn't fight back.But because I valued someone else's reputation more than my own pain.It had been a few days since I told Becky everything.Since then, she had practically become my personal bodyguard.Even though she didn't agree with the way I was handling the situation, she did everything she could to support me.She ate lunch with me.Walked with me whenever she could.Checked on me constantly.And unfortunately, she had gotten into more than one argument because of me.The rumors

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   55. I'll Endure It

    Serena's Point of ViewIt was Becky standing in the doorway.Her eyes were blazing as she stared into the room.Her gaze moved from Karen to Lacy, then to Mira, before finally landing on me.And the moment our eyes met, her expression changed.The fury on her face seemed to calm slightly...But only for a moment.When she looked back at the three women beside me again, her eyes burned with even greater intensity.She looked completely different from the soft, funny Becky I knew."What exactly is going on here?" she asked again.For a moment, nobody answered.I think all four of us were shocked by this new version of Becky standing before us.Karen spoke first."Oh, nothing."She smiled casually."We were just talking to Serena.""Really?"Becky took a few steps forward."Because from what I heard outside the door, it sounded like the three of you were harassing Serena."Karen chuckled."Harassing? Really, Becky? You're exaggerating.""Am I?"Becky looked directly at Karen.Then she po

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   54. Do Whatever You Want

    Serena's Point of View"I'm fine, sir."I forced a smile as my gaze shifted toward Jack and Ben, who were staring at me with a mixture of concern and confusion."You look tired," Adrian said again.My heart ached.But somehow, I still managed to smile."No, sir... I'm okay.""There are things called sick leave."Jack immediately looked down, trying to hide his smile.Ben covered his mouth with his hand.I couldn't help but laugh softly."No, sir... I don't feel that bad."Honestly, no amount of sick leave would be able to cure the exhaustion I was feeling right now.Adrian's gaze remained on me for a brief moment before he looked away and continued the meeting.As if nothing had happened.After the meeting ended, I returned to my workstation and took my seat.A moment later, my phone vibrated.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   53. You Should Know That By Now, Serena.

    Serena's Point of View"Serena."I truly didn't want to turn around.Talking to him in the lobby where everyone could see us wouldn't do either of us any good.But when the CEO called your name, how could you pretend you hadn't heard?Slowly, I turned around.Adrian was looking directly at me.Mr. Watson stood beside him, holding a tablet and smiling politely."Sir."I forced a smile.Adrian's brows narrowed for a split second before he spoke."How did the discussion with Marketing go?"As always, he was professional.Asking about work.But the people who saw us?They could create baseless gossip from even the most innocent conversation.I glanced around nervously.There were no employees nearby except for the two receptionists sitting some distance away."It went well," I finally s

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   52.The Man I Must Avoid

    Serena's Point of View"The CEO personally defended her.""Not in the same way other analysts are smart.""Maybe he really has a thing for pregnant women."Those words had stolen my sleep last night.And now, for the first time ever during a meeting with the CEO, they were stealing my focus too.I hated those words.Every time they replayed in my mind, it felt like someone was twisting a knife in my chest.And after thinking about it all night, I finally understood how those rumors had started.Karen wasn't there when Adrian came into that break room and defended me.Not just Karen.Besides me, Rowen, and Michela, nobody else had been there.No matter what Rowen had done, he wasn't the kind of man who would spread something that would make him look bad as well.So...It was obvious where the story had come from.I forced myself to focus on the meeting again.Jack was presenting an update.Adrian was listening carefully, asking questions whenever necessary.Ben was busy answering them.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   51.Leave the Rest to Me

    Serena's Point of View"Serena."I stopped gathering my things and looked up.The project update meeting with the CEO had just ended.Ben and Jack had already packed their belongings and were about to head toward the door.Adrian was closing his laptop, but he raised his eyes slightly and looked at me."Stay for a moment."My heart skipped a beat.And I didn't even know why.Ben and Jack both looked at me. There was a hint of curiosity in Ben's eyes, while Jack looked slightly concerned."See you later, Serena."Jack glanced once at Adrian before nodding and leaving the room.Ben gave me a smile before following him out.A few seconds later, it was just Adrian and me."Have Mr. Carter or Ms. Lawson contacted you again?"The question left me staring at him, speechless.I hadn't expected him to ask that.After all, Adrian wasn't someone who followed up on an employee's personal life."No," I replied after a moment.Adrian didn't say anything immediately.Instead, he studied my face care

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   16. You Look Different.

    Serena’s Point of View“You look different.”That’s what he said, after his gaze lingered on me longer than usual.My smile widened.I didn’t know if it was because I got the job or because someone had noticed the difference between my sadness and this quiet, proud happiness.“I got the job at Henr

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   14. This Time It was Real

    Serena’s Point of View“Congratulations. Your CV has been selected.”I read the first line of the email, I don’t know how many times until it finally felt believable.After the deadline closed, I received an email saying they had received many CVs and would shortlist candidates and inform us later.

    Serena’s Point of View“I… I need these extra shifts… please…”My voice came out weaker.Lena looked into my eyes, not with sympathy, but with the understanding of someone who could see through my pain and my hopes.“I know,” she said gently.Her hand rested lightly on my shoulder, warm and steady.

    Serena’s Point of ViewI turned around to meet his green eyes staring at me.For a second, my heart paused.Then I noticed the group of people around him staring at me, and I smiled awkwardly“Hello…” My voice sounded small in that polished lobby.Adrian’s gaze rested on me for a moment, calm and u
