31.One More Thing

Serena’s Point of View“Then the winning team is…”The whole room was utterly silent, everyone was paying their finest attention.“Analytics Team Four.”The room erupted instantly.A few of our team members screamed.Becky grabbed my arm so tightly that I nearly lost my balance.Ben laughed loudly while Jack let out a long sigh and leaned back in his chair.And me…I simply sat there frozen.My hands were still folded in my lap. Nothing had moved.But everything had changed.Because we had won!I was still trying to process everything.The voices. The excitement. The congratulations.Everything felt too good to be true...Then suddenly Becky shook my shoulder excitedly.“Serena! We won!”I looked at her. Her eyes were shining, and her smile was wider than ever.Then I slowly turned toward Jack and Ben.They were giving each other a hug, smiling.They looked proud and satisfied.“Come on, girl!” Ben pulled me into their hug while Jack patted my back.All our other team members quickly

32.On the CEO’s Floor.

Serena’s Point of View“This still feels like a dream…”I was thinking to myself even while riding the elevator together with Jack and Ben to the top floor where the CEO worked.My fingers clenched around the strap of my bag as if trying to hold back both my excitement and nervousness.The top floor.The place where only the CEO and his team of secretaries worked.The place most employees rarely even stepped into.And now…For the next few weeks, this will be our workspace.“You look nervous,” Ben whispered beside me.“I am nervous,” I admitted. But honestly, I wasn’t just nervous. I was excited too.Jack let out a quiet laugh.“That’s normal. Honestly, I’m nervous too.”The elevator doors finally opened.And immediately…The atmosphere felt different.Like stepping into a completely different world inside the same building.The floor itself looked more sophisticated than the other departments downstairs, but it wasn’t luxury that stood out the most.It was the efficiency.There weren

33. Do you have my phone number?

Serena’s Point of View“You don’t need to stand every time I enter.”Adrian was the first to speak, his deep voice filling the quiet room.He was wearing a dark suit, one hand resting inside his pocket, looking composed as always.Feeling embarrassed, I sat back down in my chair.A flicker of a smile quickly appeared on his face and vanished even faster.“How is everything?” he asked.He was already back to his usual indifference, but my heart was still beating a little faster.“Everything is going well,” I answered quickly.Adrian’s gaze briefly shifted toward the screens around the room before returning to me.“Any problems you’ve encountered after our last discussion?”I hesitated briefly.Actually…There was one section in the business document I had been reading since morning that I still couldn’t fully understand. I had even discussed it with Jack and Ben, but they didn’t have a clear understanding either, so we decided to wait until the next meeting with Adrian to ask for clari

34.What was he doing here?

Adrian’s Point of ViewWhat the hell did I just do?That was the first thing that came to my mind as I stepped into my office and sat in my chair.I loosened my tie as if I wanted to release some frustration that was building up in my mind.My gaze shifted to the view outside the window, but my mind was still occupied with what had happened just a few moments ago.In that glass room where the data analytics special team worked, with Serena without Ben or Jack...I had given my personal phone number to her.Yes, not the office number, but my personal number.In the company, only Watson and the top executives had access to that number.Not anyone else. No matter how urgent the issue was, everyone else had to reach me through the office number or through Watson.Yet today...I had taken Serena’s phone and dialed that number myself without even thinking twice.Only after hearing my personal phone ringing did I finally realize what I had done.And it was too late to correct my mistake by t

35. Your CEO’s First Gift

Serena’s Point of ViewShould I go and talk to him?Before I could even find an answer to my question, my feet had already moved towards the tall figure flipping through the pages of a children's book as if the whole world didn't exist for him.Even though he wore casual clothes today, looking a little less intimidating, he still looked so out of place, surrounded by cute colorful books and soft fairy-tale characters pasted on the walls.Still...Somehow...Looking at him, I was smiling without even realizing it.“Sir…”He was so focused on the book that he didn't even realize I had approached until I reached him.Adrian looked up.For a brief second, one of his brows lifted slightly, as if he had not expected to see me here either.“Serena...” he said in his usual calm and deep voice.God knows how many times he has said my name in that same voice. Still, even now, my foolish heart beat a little differently hearing it.“I...” I glanced at the book in his hand and continued. “I came t

36. What a Coincidence.

Serena’s Point of ViewWho am I going to meet exactly?I was still thinking as I walked beside Adrian toward his car.However, whoever I was going to meet...The fact that Adrian had asked me to meet someone special to him was more than enough to make my heart fill with happiness and pride.Since the day we first met, the relationship between him and me has always stayed within certain boundaries.Initially, it was him showing me his kindness and support.Then he was the CEO, and I was working for him, a purely professional relationship.But this...This was different...For the first time, he had invited me to step into a part of his personal life, stepping out of those earlier boundaries.Maybe that was the reason I had agreed to go with him even when I had no idea where he was going to take me or whom I was going to meet.Of course, I asked him, “Who am I going to meet?”But the answer I received was, “You will know.”“Don’t worry, I am not going to abduct you,” he added with a sli

37. Inside These Walls.

Adrian’s Point of ViewI made a mistake. I realized that the moment she went still in front of the orphanage.Ms. Maria’s question had already confirmed the suspicion in my mind. But I had no idea what I should do next.When we were selecting books together, I had no intention of bringing Serena here. But when I saw how she had completely lost herself in that storybook about a little bear, whispering softly to her baby, that was when I decided I should bring her here.To a place where many children were.Children who didn’t know how a mother’s love felt.Someone as kind and soft-hearted as her, who was also happily waiting to become a mother soon, I genuinely thought these children would love her far more than they loved me. That they would see a mother in her. In her arms… In her kind, soft words…On the other hand, I honestly thought being with children would also make her happy. That she would feel even more connected to her baby that way.But in the end, I had brought her to th

38.The Angel Boy

Serena’s Point of View“We played together as children?”More than asking that question of the matron, it felt like I was asking it of myself.Ms. Maria smiled warmly as her gaze shifted between Adrian and me.“Yes, you did,” she said.“You were both so young and may not remember it, but Adrian used to come here with his mother sometimes, and he used to play with all of you.”I looked at Adrian. He was staring ahead quietly without saying anything. He looked as though he was deep in thought, perhaps trying to recall such a distant past where he had played with a group of orphan girls.“Do you remember Madam Angela?” the matron asked, drawing my attention back to her.“She was a very beautiful and kind lady who always brought toys, books, and chocolates for all of you,” she added with a soft smile.Madam Angela...My hands clasped tighter in my lap.I couldn’t really remember that name...But that beautiful lady who came bearing so many wonderful and delicious things for us...How coul

39. Do you remember that messy little girl at all?

Serena’s Point of View“When?”My voice trembled slightly.The matron looked at me in confusion.“When did she pass away?” I asked again.Understanding slowly appeared on her face.“Ah...” she let out a sigh. “Do you remember when Madam Angela suddenly stopped coming here?”I nodded immediately.Of course, I remembered.How could I ever forget?For months, not just me but all the girls waited for her.For her beautiful smile.Her warm hugs.For the books, toys, and clothes...For the delicious food she always brought.And most importantly...For her beautiful angel boy.But neither of them ever came back.“She stopped coming here...” the matron paused.“Because she passed away.”My heart clenched.I stared at her blankly as my eyes became wet without me even realizing it.“You told us she moved away,” I said softly.“You said it was too far... so she couldn't come.”It wasn't an accusation.But I remembered those words perfectly.I had honestly believed them.The angel boy had moved s

40.I am no angel.

Serena’s Point of View“Look, my plane is so pretty!”A little girl's excited voice dragged me back from the past.She was the same girl who had just given Adrian a hug.She proudly held up her paper plane as if it were the greatest treasure in the whole world.I smiled.“Oh, yes... it's so pretty.”I gently squeezed her chubby little cheek.The little girl giggled.“Adrian can make beautiful planes,” she said, her eyes shining with happiness.“Do you want one too, pretty lady?”Pretty lady?I quickly covered my mouth to hide my laugh.Was this the first time anyone had called me a pretty lady?My gaze shifted toward Adrian.He was already looking at me.“I would love to have one,” I said, unable to take my eyes off those green ones.The little girl giggled again.“Adrian, can you make one for the pretty lady too?”For a brief second, something flickered across his face.Then he nodded.Taking his eyes away from me, he picked up a piece of paper and began folding it meticulously.He h
