41.Half A Melted Chocolate

Serena’s Point of ViewYou are an angel.You were one in the past.And...Even now.No matter how hard you try to hide it.I thought quietly while looking at the man sitting beside me.After that, silence settled between us again.The children continued running around, playing with their paper planes and laughing carefree.“So was this your first time coming back... after you left?” Adrian asked after a while, breaking the silence.He sounded calm.Gentle.Almost.I took a deep breath.“Yes...”“It has been eight years.”Adrian nodded once.As usual, he didn't try to dig deeper.He simply waited.As always.For me to speak if I truly wanted to.For a few moments, I remained silent.Holding the paper plane he had made for me, I watched the little girls playing in the garden.Then I spoke quietly.“I wanted to come back... many times.”Adrian remained silent, looking toward the garden, but I knew he was listening.“I just...”I lowered my gaze to the paper plane in my hands.“I didn't h

42. A glass of water.

Serena's Point of View"Serena, what do you think?"I lifted my head from my laptop screen and looked up.Adrian was looking at me, his green eyes fully focused, waiting to hear what I had to say.We were in a meeting on Monday morning, discussing the best approach for a problem we had encountered. Ben and Jack had proposed a couple of solutions, and I hadn't expected Adrian to specifically ask for my opinion.I looked once more at the report projected onto the large screen.Our earlier proposal wasn't bad, but after discussing it in greater detail..."There is one issue."I pointed at one of the figures."If we proceed with this model, there is a possibility that the implementation costs will increase significantly during the next phase."Every pair of eyes in the room turned toward me.I continued."I think we should redistribute the resources earlier in the timeline. I know it would require a major adjustment, but it will save us money in the long run, and the transition will be mu

43.Then I'll wait with you.

Serena's Point of View"The big boss let you drink from his own glass!"As soon as we returned to our workroom after dinner, Ben exclaimed.God!He was busy rubbing my back. How did he even notice that?"It was because it was an emergency. He panicked," I said."Oh, so you noticed too?" Ben laughed teasingly.Only then did I realize that by trying to explain it too much, I had dug my own grave."Didn't you rush over and rub her back? It was an emergency!" Jack said as he opened his laptop."Yes, boss. I did," Ben replied dramatically. "But we're good friends. It's normal to rush to your friend when she's in trouble.""But the big boss?" he added exaggeratedly."Since when does he care that much about us?""Ben, stop it now and go back to work before he shows you his real concern pretty soon."I wasn't sure whether Jack had noticed my uncomfortable expression, but he managed to stop Ben from making any more comments."Okay, okay. I'm back to work."Ben laughed as he opened his laptop.

44. The Picture in His Hands

Serena's Point of View"What?"I asked, not because I hadn't heard him the first time, but because I couldn't believe what I had just heard.Did he really say he would wait for me?A man dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, undoubtedly on his way to the office after visiting a business partner, was going to sit here in a maternity clinic and wait with me.For what?Why?"I'll wait."Adrian repeated calmly."I..."For a moment, I couldn't find a single word to say."My... my appointment will be over very soon."I smiled awkwardly."I'll be out in no time.""So you really don't have to..."After listening to my awkward explanation, his answer came."I know."Simple.Calm.As if there was no room left for changing his decision.I simply sat beside him.But my mind was filled with questions.The biggest one of all was...Does he pity me?Is that why he wants to stay?"Becky was supposed to come with me today."I began explaining before he even asked anything."But she has a fever and a c

45. It's him.

Serena's Point of View"I'll drive you home."As we walked toward the elevator, Adrian said it as if it were the most normal thing in the world."Sir... you're heading back to the office, right?"I really didn't want him to waste any more of his time."Let's go. My car is in the underground parking."He pressed the elevator button for the parking level as if he hadn't even heard what I said.What more could I say?A few minutes later, I was sitting in the passenger seat of his luxurious car as he drove out of the parking garage.The drive was quiet.Neither of us spoke.I still held the scan photo carefully in my hand.Every few seconds, I looked down at it.And every single time, my heart filled with warmth and happiness.Was this what it felt like to love someone so much that your heart could barely contain it?I didn't know.I had only loved one person with all my heart before.I had truly and devotedly loved him.But this feeling...This was different.What I felt for the little l

46. Let Go

Serena's Point of ViewThe very man and the woman who made me realize what love wasn't supposed to be.Rowen was sitting casually on the edge of a low table.And Michela stood between his legs.She was leaning close to him.Far too close.One of her hands rested on his shoulder while she whispered something into his ear.A smile played on her lips.A seductive one.The sight should have hurt me.He was the man I had loved for seven years.The very man I had devoted my whole life to.But...All I felt was disappointment.Disgust.I stood there blankly, looking at the two people who were clearly being overly intimate in an office break room.However, despite their intimacy, neither of them looked particularly happy.Rowen looked noticeably thinner.His shirt was slightly wrinkled.His hair wasn't perfectly styled the way it used to be.Even from a distance, I could see the exhaustion written all over his face.Rowen was a man who cared greatly about his appearance.When I was with him,

47. Soon to Be Ex-Wife

Adrian's Point of View"Welcome back, sir."Watson greeted me as I stepped into the office.I had finished all my work earlier than expected.Of course, I had worked day and night without much rest to make that happen.But I needed to return as soon as possible.There were ongoing projects that required my attention.Some decisions had to be postponed beucase of my absence.I had come directly to the office from the airport.There was no time to waste.Considering the amount of work waiting for me, I probably wouldn't be able to leave the office until very late tonight.As we walked toward my office, Watson began giving me updates.Several meetings had been scheduled for tomorrow.Important documents required my signature.I listened quietly.Until he mentioned one thing."Some staff members from the Hudson City marketing team arrived this afternoon for the quarterly review meeting."I looked at Watson."The Hudson City marketing team?""Yes, sir."Watson paused.I knew exactly what t

48. Let's Go, Serena

Serena's Point of View"Are you okay?"I had lost count of how many times Adrian had asked me that question during the lowest moments of my life.I quickly nodded."I'm fine."The last thing I wanted was for him to become involved in this mess.Adrian was someone who should have had nothing to do with these disgusting people or the ugly things they had done.Still...Somehow...No words could possibly describe how I felt the moment I heard his deep voice."Is there a problem here?"It wasn't just relief.It needed a far stronger word than that.It felt as though I had been drowning, almost losing my life, and suddenly...Found solid ground beneath my feet.It was a feeling that said...I am safe.I took a deep breath.And I was composed again.At least from the outside.Adrian looked professionalIndifferent.Just like always.But his voice...There was something different in his voice.Nothing dramatic.Nothing anyone could easily notice.But I could feel it.I don't know how, but I

49. Don't Tell Me You're Regretting It

Serena's Point of View"Is everything alright, sir?"Mr. Watson was waiting outside the meeting room.He looked concerned as his gaze moved from me to Adrian.Adrian stopped in front of him."Yes," he replied."Make sure Mr. Carter and Ms. Lawson leave headquarters once their business is finished."Mr. Watson immediately nodded."Of course, sir."Adrian nodded once and continued walking.I gave Mr. Watson a guilty smile.I had no idea what he must think of me.How many times had he actually witnessed Adrian stepping in to help me?And yet, he had never once mentioned it.Mr. Watson smiled back.His expression seemed to say that everything would be alright.For a moment, my heart filled with warmth, and I found myself smiling genuinely.Then I hurried after Adrian, who was already walking toward the elevator.We stepped inside.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.I glanced at him several times, debating what I should say.He stood there calmly, staring at the elevator wall.As if h

50. Rumours Need No Proof

Michela's Point of View"Hello, Michela."I removed my sunglasses and forced a smile."Hi, Karen."Karen's expression changed as she carefully examined me."You've lost weight, and you look exhausted. Is the workload too much in Hudson City?"The workload...I would rather not talk about it.The situation in Hudson City was completely different from what we had at headquarters.It wasn't just the amount of work.The office culture, the expectations, the pace, everything was different.And the head of the marketing department in Hudson City...That man must have been an agent sent directly from hell.There was no doubt I looked thinner and more exhausted considering everything that had happened recently.However, more than the work...What happened yesterday was still haunting me.I barely slept last night.The dark circles beneath my eyes were proof of it.If Rowen and I had gotten into a fight, I could have handled it.We fought all the time.Our personalities rarely matched, so argu
