21. The Same Place, Different Us

Serena’s Point of ViewThose green eyes…The way they had looked a little different…I was still thinking about them as I sat in the metro, going home.Earlier, I had been chatting with Becky in the lobby. She was telling me funny things that had happened in the team before I joined, and we were both laughing together.Still, from the corner of my eye, I saw his tall figure.He was walking away with Watson, and it seemed like they were discussing something.But then, all of a sudden, Adrian looked back.For a fraction of a second, our eyes met.And then he looked away.My heart stilled.Not because our eyes met…But because of the fragile way those eyes had looked in that brief moment.I told myself it was nothing.Someone like Adrian Henrix had no reason to look back at me specifically. It must have happened by chance.Still…As the train moved through the city, I found myself thinking about him.About the way his eyes had looked. About those two words he said.Good job.I knew it wa

22. Nian Gao - Rising Higher Every Year

Serena’s Point of View“This is how it should happen.”I told myself as I walked back to the table.Why should I even think about that?He just came here to enjoy a meal at one of his favorite restaurants, and he’s just going to do that.My being here with my team has absolutely nothing to do with him.“You’re back!” Becky smiled at me as I sat down next to her.I picked up my chopsticks and tried to return to the moment, to the laughter, the warmth, the simple happiness of being here with my team.But my mind…It lingered at the entrance.“Wait…”Becky suddenly grabbed my hand and leaned forward, her eyes widening.“Is that…?”The table went quiet for a second.“Yes… It’s him. Our CEO is here…” she whispered, lowering her voice as if she were afraid Adrian might hear her.Everyone turned almost at once.Adrian was sitting alone by the window.His posture was straight and composed as always. His attention was on his phone, as if the entire restaurant didn’t exist around him.I let out

23.Our Little Sanctuary

Serena’s Point of ViewI stood in front of the small apartment I had rented.The key was in my right hand, and my left hand rested carefully on my growing belly.“This place is ours… This is where you will be born and grow up...at least until we move to a bigger house, one with a garden where you can play all day.”A soft smile touched my lips.“Until then, this is our happy place… our little sanctuary. It belongs to no one else.”I put the key into the keyhole. The door opened with a soft click.I stepped inside slowly.The space wasn’t big, a compact living area, a tiny kitchen to one side, a bedroom just beyond, and a small bathroom. The furniture was simple, nothing fancy, nothing new.But everything was clean and neat.So much better than where we had started.I closed the door behind me, and for a second…I just stood there.No one else's music. No one else's argument.Just the sound of my own breathing.“We’re home,” I whispered.A faint smile touched my lips.Not perfect. Not

24. One Light Still On

Serena’s Point of View“The CEO has decided to launch a short-term internal project.”Peter announced it calmly, but the moment the word CEO left his mouth, everyone in the team area looked up.“It’s a technically challenging project, and the timeline is limited,” he continued once he knew everyone was listening. “But if you get selected to work on it, it will be a great opportunity to learn and shine.”A quiet murmur spread through the team.“As I said, the CEO personally wants this project to happen,” Peter added. “So the selected team will work directly under his supervision.”My palms clenched slightly.Directly under Adrian’s supervision?I wasn't afraid of his standards.But I already knew how careful I would have to be if I got to work directly under him.About the work. About myself.“For anyone who wants to show their skills, this is a good opportunity,” Peter said. “But obviously, almost every analytics team will want this project. So there will be a small competition.”Jack

25. Didn’t I Ask You to Take a Taxi?

Adrian’s Point of ViewLogically, I should have walked away.I only intended to check who was still working late, that’s all. And as the CEO of this company, it was certainly not my duty to worry about a data analyst doing extra hours.Still…For whatever reason, I found myself walking toward that single light illuminating the dark floor.As I got closer, I saw Serena completely focused on the screen. Her notebook was open in front of her, filled with highlighted notes and careful writing.She was so focused that she didn’t even notice me approaching.Her brows were slightly drawn together in concentration.Then one of her hands moved to her stomach, gently rubbing it for a second before returning to the keyboard.A small movement.Protective. Gentle.Whatever reason she had for working this late, she was still concerned about the little life growing inside her.Most probably, she didn’t even realize she was doing it.But somehow…That small gesture made my heart pause for a moment.A

26. Stop The Car

Adrian’s Point of ViewI thought she was already home resting.But…Here she was, walking alone on a dark road this late at night.The streetlights cast long shadows across the pavement as she walked, her coat wrapped tightly around herself against the cold wind.Strangely…Quite strangely…The first thing I felt was anger.And I had no idea why. Was it because she said she would leave soon, but stayed until past ten? But if one of my employees worked that enthusiastically, shouldn’t I be pleased as the CEO?Then was it because I told her to take a taxi, yet she still chose the metro instead? She was technically saving my company's money again.Something I should actually appreciate.Yet…I didn’t feel pleased at all.I looked at her lonely figure walking slowly through the window for another second before speaking calmly.“Stop the car.”Watson immediately slowed the vehicle beside her.The moment my car stopped near her, Serena visibly startled.For a brief second, genuine fear cro

27. Why Did He Let Me Sleep?

Adrian’s Point of View“Was I too harsh?”I was startled.I never intended to say those words out loud. But before I could stop myself, I already had.Silence followed.Watson glanced at me briefly through the rearview mirror.But he said nothing.He knew me too well to understand that I wasn’t expecting an answer from him or anyone else.Still, he clearly looked surprised.That was fair.Even I was surprised by my own words.I leaned back slightly against the seat, my eyes resting on the passing city lights outside.My hand moved almost subconsciously to my shoulder.The place where her head had rested still felt warm.Her exhausted face resurfaced in my mind.And then the words I told her before she got out of the car.“I appreciate employees who put in extra effort. But if that effort exhausts them to this extent, it becomes a liability to the company.”Should I have phrased it differently?This time, I didn’t say those words out loud, but they were bothering me far more than they

28. Did Something Happen?

Serena’s Point of View“We have a meeting with the CEO in fifteen minutes.”I blinked and looked up at Jack.“A meeting?”Jack nodded while opening a file on his laptop.“He’s going to give an update about the competition. Probably about the main project too.”My fingers tightened around the mouse.A strange awkwardness seeped into my mind immediately.The memory of last night was still fresh. Still awkward and confusing.My head resting on his shoulder. Him letting me sleep.And then those cold words afterward.I rubbed my face nervously with my palm.Today was the worst possible day to see him this early in the morning.But did I even have a chance to avoid it?A few minutes later, Jack, Ben, and I entered the conference room. Some of the teams competing for the project were already there.Soon, the rest of the teams entered too, and everyone waited for the CEO to arrive.Right on time, Adrian walked into the conference room.He was wearing a dark gray suit, looking composed and unr

29.Good Thing We Have You

Adrian’s Point of ViewHow could she be this careless about herself?That was the thought filling my mind as I stepped into the elevator to go back to my floor.I had just finished a meeting with the Data Analytics team leads and was walking toward the elevator when she rushed too quickly and bumped into me.She was in a hurry.But how much time would she save by running and risking both their lives?It wasn’t my place to get angry or annoyed.But for some reason, I was both.Then I realized... The reason for her rushing wasn’t actually because she was in a hurry.The look on her face...Well, it was quite similar to the one I saw that day at Lena’s when that man spilled soup on her.Something had happened.Without a doubt.I knew exactly that I shouldn’t be worried about a mid-level data analyst, standing in a corridor where many people would pass by.Still, I had already asked that question before my mind could stop me.But she shook her head quickly.Making me recall someone else w

30. The Place I Belong

Serena’s Point of ViewAdrian nodded.Slightly.But his eyes were filled with something different from their usual indifference.Quiet appreciation.Small. Subtle.But enough.More than enough.At that moment, there was no doubt left in my heart.I was not a burden.Not to my team. Not to the company that belonged to him.I had earned my place here.I sat a little straighter.“Good work, everyone.”Adrian finally said calmly before closing the file in front of him.The meeting came to an end, and everyone collected their things and got ready to leave.Adrian also stood up, about to leave.His gaze shifted over all of us…But for some reason, I was quite sure it lingered a little longer on me than on anyone else.Then he looked away and walked out of the meeting room.“Earlier, it was so hard to even see the big boss, but now he’s on our floor most of the time, isn’t he?” Mike asked after making sure Adrian was nowhere near enough to hear us.“He expanded the Data Analytics department.
