Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 329

"I heard that you..." Cole started to speak, but just thinking about the tricks Hugh had pulled on him before made his teeth ache.

He paused, forced a smile, and continued, "Aunt Serene, I heard that you came to the office to wait for Uncle Hugh, so I thought I'd drop by and say hello. You don't mind, do you?"

He stayed where he was, looking perfectly well-behaved.

Hearing the way he addressed her, Serena relaxed a little. At least he knew how to show respect and wasn't overstepping.

Not bad. She let her guard down slightly and picked up her coffee.

"Now that you've said hello, you should get back to work. I'm sure the Larson Group has plenty for you to do."

"Not really. Uncle Hugh's the one tied up with meetings. I don't have many projects on my plate right now. Besides, I just got back from overseas. I'm still fresh off vacation, so there's not much work for me yet."

Serena fell silent. She honestly just didn't want to deal with him. She'd been hoping to enjoy a quiet moment alone. But Cole clearly wasn't getting the hint and insisted on sticking around.

She was already thinking about ways she could get him to leave.

Meanwhile, Cole, completely oblivious to the irritation flickering in her eyes, stood up with a bright smile. "The company set out some desserts today. I'll grab a few for you."

"No, that's really not..."
