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

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

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

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
