Adrian's Point of View

I was making breakfast.

Nothing fancy.

Just an omelet.

Some toast.

And coffee with a little milk.

Yesterday, Serena had only taken a few sips of water.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   181. My Good Friend Adrian Henrix

    Serena’s Point of ViewI had barely managed to focus on my work again when Ben and Luke walked back into our workspace.And apparently, they had found something far more interesting than work to talk about.“You know what just happened?”Ben playfully slapped Jack's back.“What?” Jack asked lazily.“Our big boss just personally walked an elegant woman to the elevator.”God.Even they had seen that.“So what's the big deal? She must be some important client or business partner.”As usual, Jack wasn't interested in Ben's gossip.“You wouldn't say that if you'd seen her,” Ben said.“Yeah. She looked like she walked straight out of some luxury fashion magazine,” Luke added, supporting Ben's argument.“So what?” Jack asked, a little irritated.“Can't there be beautiful women in the business world? Doesn't Mr. Henrix also look like he just walked out of a fashion magazine? But he's still our CEO,” Peter added from somewhere nearby.“And that's exactly why I'm telling you, Ben. That woman, w

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   180. Sofia Hudson

    Serena’s Point of ViewThat hug lasted only a few seconds.But those few seconds were enough to make my poor heart ache excruciatingly.The woman pulled away.The elevator doors opened.She stepped inside with a relaxed smile, as if she hadn't just hugged a man who was almost impossible for other people to get close to.And somehow, that smile made my heart ache even more.She said something to Adrian just as the doors were about to close, and Adrian nodded.Then, as the elevator disappeared, he took his phone from his trouser pocket.He looked at the screen.Answered it.And turned away.So he answered his phone immediately too.Even though he hadn't answered my call or replied to any of my messages.Adrian, what is really going on?You're making me terribly worried.Still talking on the phone, he walked away without even looking in my direction.I remained where I was, as if I had completely lost the ability to move.“What the hell is Sofia doing here?”At Noah's voice, I turned my

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   179. He Let Her Hug Him

    Serena’s Point of ViewThe first thing I did after waking up the next morning was send Adrian a message.How are you? I hope everything is going alright.Then I got ready for work.By the time I reached the office, there was still no reply.And he hadn't answered the call I'd made before reaching the office either.Yesterday, I had somehow convinced myself that he was simply busy.But today, that excuse wasn't working anymore.This was the man who had left a very important conference because I didn't answer his calls.He was the man who always found at least a few seconds to send me a text, no matter what kind of business deal he was in the middle of.So if, after two days, he was still too busy to find five seconds to send me a simple I'm okay, I knew something had to be terribly wrong.There was no way this was simply an issue with an investment.Maybe it was more about the danger of losing the company's credibility, like he had explained that night.But Adrian was a man who always

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   178. Tomorrow, He’ll Be Here.

    Serena’s Point of ViewWhen I woke up the next morning, the space beside me was empty and cold.There were no strong arms holding me tightly, no firm chest beneath my cheek letting me feel his warmth.I frowned and opened my eyes properly.“Adrian?”No answer.After one confused second, I remembered.He had to be at the office early this morning.Had he already gone?A small wave of disappointment filled my heart. I had wanted to see him before he left.I reached for my phone.7:32 a.m.“Oh, shit.”Not only had Adrian already left, but I was late for work too.I pushed myself up, and that was when I noticed the small piece of paper on the bedside table, tucked beneath my phone.I picked it up.Angel,I wish I could've stayed long enough to hold you when you woke up and ask you how you felt after last night. Unfortunately, I couldn't.I had to leave.I'll see you soon.A.I read it again.And again, even though I was already late for work.A stupid smile spread across my face.How I fe

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   177. Just Because I Want You

    Serena’s Point of ViewFor a moment, Adrian was completely still, his eyes simply staring at me.My heart began to race.Is he going to say no?Was it a bad decision to say something like that when he was utterly exhausted and dealing with such a serious issue at the company?Before I could retreat any further into those thoughts, Adrian’s hand gently cupped my cheek, making me look directly into his eyes.“Angel… do you even know what you’re telling me right now?”I took a deep breath.“I know exactly what I’m saying, Adrian.”“Are you sure you want this?”I nodded.“Yes.”His eyes remained on mine.“Not because of anything else, but purely because…”He took a deep breath.“Because you want me.”“Yes. Just because I want you, Adrian. Nothing else.”That was all he needed.His mouth found mine.The kiss was slow at first, almost careful.But I didn’t want us to be careful tonight.I wanted him to forget everything else and just focus on me.My arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   176. I Came to You

    Serena’s Point of ViewAdrian had to leave.I stood in front of the closed door for a few seconds, staring at it.Then I smiled.He almost said it.He had spent so long trying to explain how his feelings had changed day by day.His jealousy.His need to protect me.I couldn't really understand what you had become to me.Well, I had understood what he had become to me a little earlier.And now he understood it too.I knew it wasn’t just protectiveness. It wasn’t just concern or caring. I knew it wasn’t anything like I had ever felt before.He loved me.I didn't need to hear those three words to know that.But God, I would love to hear them.From him.As he looked into my eyes.However, the situation at the company was serious. He needed to take care of it.And the two of us had all the time in the world to say those words to each other.I walked back to the bedroom to get some clothes to change into.And my eyes fell on the bed.Heat immediately crept up my cheeks.Last night.For a mo

  • 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

    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

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   4. You Lost Me Today

    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
