Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 332

"So, you're here for the Larson Group's project," Hugh said, sitting by the floor-to- ceiling windows of the cafe booth.

The soft warmth of the sun bathed his shoulder, casting a gentle, hazy light that made it hard to read his emotions. His voice was calm, steady.

Serena felt a flicker of unease in her heart. She was indeed there for the Larson Group's project, but it was to retrieve Amber's unfinished porcelain pieces.

Her reason was justified, yet she still needed Hugh to offer some incentive. Otherwise, it wasn't fair to Hugh.

He was a great ally, but she wasn't sure if their relationship was strong enough for this.

She took a sip of her bitter iced coffee. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to be honest. No matter what Hugh decided, she felt it was necessary to trust him and share her reasoning.

"My dad still holds onto my mom's unfinished porcelain. It might be her last work, and I don't want it falling into the hands of some unknown collector.

"So, I promised my dad I'd secure a share of a Larson Group project through you. I know it's a lot to ask, but if the Jansen Group can't handle it, I'll have Amber Group take over."

She didn't want Hugh's projects to fail on her watch. That was why she kept reassuring him that Amber Group would back it up.

Hugh remained silent.

And as the silence stretched, her voice began to trail off.
