Serena's Point of View

"I asked Becky not to come."

Adrian said it so casually, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Then he calmly poured some water into a glass.

"Her team is working on an important deadline."

"So I told her to keep working."

He placed the glass beside my bowl.

"I came instead."

For a long moment, I forgot to do anything except stare at him.

My mind had become a tangled mess because of his logic.

He came instead?

This man...

The CEO of Henrix Properties.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   124. Friends?

    Adrian’s Point of ViewThis morning.Of all mornings.Noah’s first day.I couldn’t be there when she got to work.If I’d had even the slightest chance of avoiding the meeting I’d been sitting in for almost three hours, I definitely would have.It wasn’t that anything could actually happen to her in a few hours of my absence.Not that Noah even knew who she really was to me to do her any harm.Still...I was nervous.I felt uneasy.I couldn’t give my full concentration to the meeting.I hated clients who couldn’t understand something directly and had to go around it ten times to understand one simple thing.This client was one of them and he was annoying the hell out of me.Still, he was a valuable client, and I couldn’t afford to lose him.Right after the meeting was over, I politely refused the client’s request to have a meal together, lying that I had another important client meeting, and left.On the drive back, I told myself there was nothing I had to worry about.Watson had his

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   123. My First Friend

    Serena’s Point of View“Did you get in?”I rolled my eyes even though Adrian couldn’t see me doing that.“I said I got out in front of the building, didn’t I?”“That didn’t mean you went inside.”God!“Yes, Adrian. I’m about to go in.”“Good.”Of course.Good.The most hateful word of all.I adjusted my bag on my shoulder while trying to balance the coffee and packed breakfast in my other hand.Adrian had to visit a client this morning, so he couldn’t come to pick me up today.Knowing he wouldn’t come, I somehow overslept.And I didn’t even have time to have breakfast.I bought a croissant and a cup of coffee on the way.But I deliberately avoided mentioning that to the man who was on the phone with me.Because yesterday, when he told me he wouldn’t be able to come this morning, he specifically said,“But that doesn’t mean you can skip breakfast, Serena.”“Okay, now I have to go,” I said as I was about to enter the lobby.“I’m already inside.”“All right. I’ll see you later.”“Okay. B

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   122. But I do.

    Serena’s Point of View“What exactly did they say to you that day?”We were silently enjoying our food when he suddenly asked that.My fork stopped halfway to my mouth.I looked up.“What?”“Lucy. And the other girls.”Oh.He was still thinking about that?Adrian was staring at me, still waiting for my answer.I smiled, trying to brush it off.“It was nothing, Adrian. It was so long ago. Forget it.”“I want to know.”I blinked.It was rare for him to press me for anything.But right now, he clearly sounded as if he wouldn’t give up until I said something.“It really was nothing. I think they were just a little jealous.”“Jealous?”“Yes.”“Of what?”I almost laughed.“Of me.”His brows pulled together.“Why?”God.Why couldn’t this man understand something so simple?“Because you didn’t even smile at them, but you got up to shake my hand and congratulate me.”His expression remained completely serious.“Why should I smile at them?”I stared at him.“God, Adrian. Smiling at people is no

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   121. Just Me?

    Serena’s Point of View“You remember that?”I couldn’t even believe what I had just heard.Him remembering me that well, even when we barely knew each other.“Yes.”“But...”I stared at him.“We barely knew each other.”Adrian raised one eyebrow.“We knew each other.”"Hm?"“You had already cried in my arms. You told me about that asshole. You told me about little Theo. I took you to Uncle Wang’s, a place that’s close to my heart.”His eyes stayed on mine.“So you still say we barely knew each other?”I looked down, avoiding those eyes staring into mine.Yes.What he said was right.I had done all those things before that day at Lena’s.And he had done so much for me already, including motivating me to apply to Henrix Properties.Still, in my heart, I had always felt like we were from two different worlds.I honestly believed I was just someone he sympathized with.Someone he truly felt like helping.I never thought he would pay that much attention to me.Someone who didn't even deser

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   120. What If It Was?

    Serena’s Point of View“So what if it was?”For a moment, I forgot how to speak.I looked at him.But he was just looking at the road as he drove us through the traffic. As if he hadn’t just said something that made my heart pause.So what if it was?What did that question even mean?Was he trying to say he didn’t mind even if he went on a date with me?Or...Was he simply trying to say that even if it was a date, what did that have to do with Noah?Maybe that was most probably it.“You’re asking me?” I finally managed to ask.But it was something utterly ridiculous.“You’re the one who brought it up.”“Because Noah called it a date.”“And you said he wasn’t wrong.”Damn Adrian.“I just said that it looked a little like a date.”“Yes. That’s why I asked you, what if it was?”I turned around and looked out the window.Because I felt like I couldn’t continue talking while looking at him anymore.“I didn’t say anything would be wrong with it.”I said it in the most indifferent voice I co

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   119. Not A Date.

    Serena’s Point of ViewAdrian: You said you wanted to watch the movie everyone was talking about.I was lying on my bed, staring at the text I had just received.It was true that there was a movie I found interesting.But I had never even mentioned anything to him about this film.Me: When did I even mention it to you?Adrian: Not directly to me. I heard you mention it to Becky.I searched my memory, trying hard to remember when I had talked about it with Becky while he was somewhere around.It was actually very rare for Becky and me to talk about anything except work when he was around!Adrian: No need to exhaust yourself thinking about when it was. I heard it in front of the elevator. You two were talking, and as soon as I came, you stopped.Did I imagine some disappointment in the words he had typed?Anyway, now I remembered when it happened.Me: Oh! This morning.Me: Isn’t it normal for employees to stop all their personal talk when the big boss is around?Adrian: Big boss?Me: Ye

    Serena’s Point of ViewI shouldn’t have agreed.That was the first thought that came to my mind as I walked to the café where I was supposed to meet Rowen.Last night, I went back to that place I once called home, only to grab some of my clothes and belongings. I didn’t stay there, even when Rowen

    Serena’s Point of View“Serena… can you hear me?”Rowen’s voice was the first thing I heard as the darkness slowly faded and I tried to open my eyes.I shut my eyes again as tightly as possible.I wished I could shut my ears too, so I wouldn’t have to listen to his voice. But I couldn’t move my ha

    Serena’s Point of ViewAll the lies I had believed so far… all the false hopes I had clung to as if my life depended on them…How had I let myself believe this for so long?It was indeed my husband inside Room 1243, naked, without even a thread of fabric covering him.“Who the hell?!” Rowen’s voice

    Serena’s Point of ViewI sat outside the gynecologist’s office, staring at the clock nervously. It was almost 11:30, but Rowen was still not here.I checked our chat again, but there was no reply; he hadn’t even seen my messages.I called him. It took so long before he finally answered. “Serena?” H
