Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 204

At a high-end restaurant, soft music played as elites mingled over fine dining.

A single red candle and a bouquet of roses sat in the center of the table. The small, intimate table barely had enough space for two sets of plates, let alone business documents.

Serena raised an eyebrow and glanced at Zach across from her. "Mr. Foster, this doesn't seem like the right place for a business discussion."

"I just heard this was the best restaurant in town. And they serve foie gras-your favorite," Zach said casually.

But the effort was clear. The table he had chosen offered the best view of the city skyline. Just beyond the window was a bustling commercial district, and in the distance, a serene lake reflected the city lights.

Every dish on the table was exactly to her taste.

It felt surreal. For a moment, it was as if they were still a couple, like nothing had changed.

But Serena had no appetite. She had no interest in the view either. She didn't touch her silverware, her gaze indifferent.

"Whether I like foie gras depends on who I'm eating with. If you're not here to talk business, I won't waste my time."

She set down her napkin and stood up to leave.

Zach stopped her. "Mr. Jansen specifically asked you to have this meeting with me. It's just one meal. Can't you at least give me that?"

Serena's steps faltered.
