Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 413

It was the first time Eric had seen Hugh so quick to drop everything—all for the answer to something so trivial. He raised a brow, visibly surprised.

The maid said, "Mrs. Larson said she's having trouble sleeping in a new bed. She heard you'd be working late tonight, so she asked me to bring you some warm milk. Also, she asked me to pass along a message."

A thoughtful glass of warm milk... That was totally Serena's style.

Hugh arched an eyebrow, motioning for the maid to set it down. "What's the message?"

"She said... if you stay with her tonight, maybe she could fall asleep."

Hugh's fingers froze on the edge of his desk. Was Serena asking him to spend the night with her?

Eric chuckled and tossed two more files in Hugh's direction.

"Looks like seeing Sarah and Cole all lovey-dovey got her jealous, huh? Still, we've got business to handle."

"She's not the jealous type," Hugh replied coldly.

Eric scoffed. "Come on. Every woman gets jealous. I heard Serena and Sarah have been going at it lately. Now, Sarah's even using her pregnancy to move into the Larson residence.
