Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 257

Serena moved so quickly that Chandler didn't even have a chance to catch up.

He stood in the doorway, his gaze shifting between her retreating figure and Hugh, who still seemed unwilling to let her go.

"Should I go after her?" he asked.

Serena, on the other hand, rushed into the elevator. If she wanted to keep her evening free for dinner, she had to wrap up the rest of her tasks as quickly as possible.

"Mr. Jansen wants you back at Jansen Group immediately. It's about a company project. He said it's urgent."
