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.

"Let her be."

Hugh chuckled. The breakfast she'd brought had warmed more than just his stomach-it warmed his heart too.

Besides, with dinner plans already set, there was no need to hurry.

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.

Time flew, and soon, evening arrived.

She had just finished packing up and was ready to leave when her phone suddenly rang.

It was Natalie.

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

Natalie wouldn't sound this anxious unless Howard was breathing down her neck.

Serena glanced at the time. If this was just another one of Howard's usual tantrums, it probably wouldn't take long to deal with.
