Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife by Lil’ Bamboo

Chapter 17

Serenity could feel her heart pounding heavily in her chest.

Goodness, what had gotten into her?!

She blushed and quickly withdrew her hand.

“Okay, let’s… eat before it gets cold.”

With that, she concentrated on her food and started eating voraciously.

Jackson smiled faintly as he watched her face almost disappear into her bowl of soup, and the amusement in his eyes seemed to deepen.

“Then, do you like me, Sis?”

“Yes, I do,” Serenity replied without hesitation.

“I like you very much too,” Jackson said, his lips curling up into a smile.

It seemed like it had been a long time since someone had captured his interest like this.

After the City Council inspection ended, Janice said to Serenity, “Serenity, our high school classmates are planning a class reunion this weekend. You should come too.”

A class reunion?

Serenity laughed inwardly. Given her current situation, attending a class reunion would only invite more ridicule.

“No, I have something else on that day, so I won’t go,” Serenity replied.

“Come on, we rarely gather. What could you possibly have to do that you can’t skip? Join us, okay?” Janice urged, clearly eager for Serenity to turn up at the reunion.

If the former class valedictorian and class beauty were to show up in her current state, it would surely astonish everyone. Janice couldn’t wait to show their former classmates the state Serenity was in.

“I have to work this weekend. Did you think my job included weekends as regular days off?” Serenity replied.

Janice was momentarily speechless. She had indeed forgotten about that.

“But…”

“I have to go pick up rubbish now. Let’s talk another time if anything comes up,” Serenity interrupted Janice and walked away without waiting for the other woman to finish speaking.

Serenity wasn’t an idiot. She could clearly see what Janice’s intentions were.

However, she didn’t expect that even though she had deliberately tried to avoid it, the deputy director specifically instructed her to deliver a document to someone at the City Council on Sunday who was at a luxurious club in Solaria City.

Ordinary sanitation workers couldn’t even dream of entering an establishment like this, but when she arrived at the club entrance, staff members were waiting there as if they had already known she was coming, and they led her through a side entrance into the club.

One of the staff members pushed open the door to a private room that was filled with people.

As soon as Serenity entered the room, a familiar voice called out, “Hey, look! Guess who’s here!”

Serenity looked up to see Janice, Amanda, and a group of her former high school classmates.
