Jenna's face twisted with rage. "Serena, who do you think you are? What makes you worthy of having Justin kneel before you?"She charged forward, raising her hand to slap Serena. However, before she could land the strike, Serena caught her wrist. "Mrs. Farrow, take a good look. I didn't make your son kneel. He did that himself!"She shoved Jenna away, shaking off her grip, her expression calm yet distant.Jenna glared at her, seething. "What kind of spell did you cast on Justin? Let me make one thing perfectly clear—even if Justin is foolish enough to want to marry you, I'll never permit it! The Farrow family's daughter-in-law will be someone worthy of our name, not some jinx who brought ruin upon her own family!"A chill settled in Serena's gaze. "My father died protecting Mr. Farrow Senior," she stated, her voice even. "Have you conveniently forgotten that? And let me be clear—I never desired any connection to the Farrow family in the first place!" Jenna sneered. "Well, aren't

Damian ignored her message.Zoey called him directly. "Damian, why aren't you answering? You said you found the perfect model. Who is it?"Why are you so curious?" Damian asked."Because none of those influencers or celebrities ever meet your standards, but now some random person does? Of course, I'm curious." Zoey's tone carried a hint of jealousy. "Wow, keeping it a secret? She must be some stunning beauty. Look, I might be one with the guys, but I'm still a woman. Are you afraid I'll steal her from you?"Damian barely reacted. "I'm driving. We'll talk later." Then he hung up.…Back in her apartment, Serena collapsed onto her bed, drained. Almost at once, her phone vibrated with a deluge of texts from Justin. Serena swiftly blocked Justin's number. As she did, a new notification arrived. It was Wilson, sending a joke. "One day, a crab accidentally bumped into an octopus. The octopus got mad and yelled, 'Are you clumsy?' The crab replied, 'No, I'm just a little shell-shocked.

Serena paused, momentarily surprised. She had intended for him to take the wrap himself."It's delicious," Wilson said, completely at ease. "Hold it a little closer. I'll have another bite."Reluctantly, Serena held the wrap to his lips.The entire drive, Wilson continued to eat this way, casually taking bites. As he finished the last bite, he seemed to accidentally graze her finger with his lips.Serena flinched, a jolt of awareness shooting through her."Did I bite you?" Wilson asked."No," Serena replied. It hadn't hurt, but her fingertip felt strangely warm. The lingering sensation of his lips brought back the memory of their kiss. For someone who usually seemed so laid-back and nonchalant, his kiss had been surprisingly intense.A sudden gust of wind startled her, pulling her from her thoughts. She glanced at Wilson.He was calm, composed. "Your face is flushed," he observed. "I thought you might be warm."Serena said nothing, her mind racing.At the mall, Wilson was abo

"Mr. Quade," Serena said, hurrying to catch up. Her eyes searched his face. "Are you upset?""What makes you think I'm upset?" Wilson countered."It's… obvious," Serena replied.Wilson was silent for a moment. Then, he stopped walking and turned to face her, his gaze intense. "Serena, did you invite me out today to express your gratitude, or was it a setup?"Serena's expression turned sheepish. "You saw through it?" She said apologetically, "Aaron is Laurie's boyfriend, and she's very important to me. I wanted to help her, so I used this as an excuse. I'm sorry.""If you needed my help, you could've just asked me directly. Why lie to me?" Wilson asked."Huh?" Serena was caught off guard. "But we're not that close. You're my boss. It wouldn't be appropriate to just ask you to meet with Aaron and help him out."Great. They had kissed before, yet all he got in return was they were not that close. She certainly had a way of getting under his skin. Serena paused, then asked tenta

"I already said I'm sorry," Serena said, a slight pout on her lips."Are you giving me the cold shoulder now?" Wilson asked sternly."I wouldn't dare," Serena replied, wiping her fingers with a sanitizing wipe. Her delicate features were tinged with a hint of annoyance.Wilson studied her for a moment, then sighed. "Never mind. You're beautiful. You can ignore me if you want.""Okay…" Serena replied, a little confused.He, however, was the one who relented. "Come with me when you're finished eating."Wilson stood up and walked toward the terrace.Serena followed. A short climb led them to a small observation deck. Leaning against the railing, Serena gazed at the city sprawling below. The streets shimmered like ribbons of light, and the skyscrapers glittered, creating a breathtaking panorama.Wilson pointed to a distinctive high-rise building in the distance. "See that? That's the Farrow Corporation headquarters.""Yeah." She would recognize it anywhere, even if it were reduc
