Serena's Point of View

"Is everything alright, sir?"

Mr. Watson was waiting outside the meeting room.

He looked concerned as his gaze moved from me to Adrian.

Adrian stopped in front of him.

"Yes," he replied.

"Make sure Mr. Carter and Ms. Lawson leave headquarters once their business is finished."

Mr. Watson immediately nodded.

"Of course, sir."

Adrian nodded once and continued walking.

I gave Mr. Watson a guilty smile.

I had no idea what he must think of me.

How many times had he actually wit

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   224. Fourteen Days Until Heartbreak

    Serena’s Point of View9:15 p.m.It had been almost three hours since Adrian told me he'd arrived at the restaurant for the family dinner.I was sitting at the dining table, staring at the containers of food in front of me.Still completely untouched.Adrian had ordered dinner for me from Uncle Wang's restaurant. The food had arrived about an hour and a half ago. It smelled wonderful, and from experience, I knew it would be delicious.But I had no appetite at all.I let out a sigh and leaned back in my chair.The bodyguards were stationed outside, and Garry was waiting nearby, ready to help me whenever I needed.But inside this place we called home, I was alone.I reached out and touched the empty chair beside me.The chair Adrian would usually sit in.Since he'd been discharged from the hospital, tonight was the first time I'd had to sit at this table without him.And no words could possibly describe how lonely it felt.Maybe I should've agreed when Becky offered to come over. But kn

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   223. The Perfect Couple

    Serena’s Point of ViewI was sitting with my team in the second row of the large conference room at Henrix Properties.Today marked the official beginning of the collaboration between Henrix Group and Hudson Group.Employees from Henrix Group and Hudson Group who would be involved in the project filled the rows of seats.And the stars of the show, Adrian and Sofia, sat at the front behind a large table, with their fathers on either side of them.It had already been two weeks since Adrian told Watson and me about his father's proposal.After we decided to go forward with the proposal that day, everything moved so quickly.Following several intense discussions with Sofia and her team, Adrian had finally agreed to the collaboration.But only under the conditions he had carefully prepared with Watson and his team.Henrix Properties would retain responsibility for the technical development of our project, while Hudson Group would manage the commercial strategy and market expansion. Our exi

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   222. A Calculated Surrender

    Adrian’s Point of ViewAfter Sofia left, I remained on the couch with my eyes closed for a while.What the hell am I supposed to do now?Richard had given me a week.But it wasn't a week to make a decision. It was a week to accept what he wanted.And if I refused, he'd try to take the entire team away from Henrix Properties.Including Serena.I opened my eyes.I needed to talk to her. But there was no way I could ask her to come to my office to discuss something like this.And I couldn't wait until we got home either.If I didn't discuss this now, I didn't think I'd be able to concentrate on my work anymore.I picked up my phone and sent Serena a message.Me: Angel, are you free for lunch?Her reply came almost immediately.Serena: With you? Always. ❤️Despite the turmoil in my heart, I couldn't help smiling at her message.Me: I'll send you the location. Meet me there in thirty minutes. Garry will drive you.Serena: Okay, baby. Is everything alright?I stared at her message.I knew s

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   221. I'll Always Be on Your Side

    Adrian’s Point of ViewRichard got up from his seat and straightened his suit jacket leisurely, as though he hadn't just threatened to take away an entire project team from my company.I knew perfectly well that even though he was the chairman, what he'd just threatened wasn't something he could simply do. It would involve a lot of procedures, discussions, and even compensation.But it wasn't entirely impossible for him either.Before I could process what I should say, he spoke.“I think I've made myself clear enough, Adrian. There's nothing more to discuss today.”“Dad…”“I've given you a week. Use it wisely.”He then turned toward Sofia, and his expression visibly softened.“Sofia, I believe you two might have a few things to discuss. I'll leave you to it.”“Uncle, wait…”Sofia tried to stop him, but Richard was already walking toward the door.“Today is a beautiful sunny day. Maybe you two can go out and have lunch somewhere.”And with that, he left.I stared at the closed door.“A

  • 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
