Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 366

The first light of dawn slowly crept over the horizon. As guests began boarding the cruise, their chatter filled the air.

Serena hadn't slept a wink all night. She had meant to change and go out to greet the guests, but her tired eyes and heavy steps nearly caused her to twist her ankle on the stairs.

Fortunately, Hugh caught her just in time. His warm palm gently encircled her slender wrist.

"Go rest," he said firmly.

"But the guests-"

"It's your birthday party. It'll go on for a while. They'll see the guest of honor eventually."

With that, Hugh guided her down the last two steps, waved off the approaching attendant, and personally escorted Serena to her room.

The suite was decorated entirely in Serena's style. Every piece, every detail-it was all exactly to her taste.

She paused at the threshold, and the sleepiness ebbed from her body. "Did... you arrange all this, Mr. Larson?"

"Yes. If there's anything you don't like, I'll have it changed."

He gently let go of her wrist, then told the staff to bring her some light snacks and warm milk to help her settle down. Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked away.
