Chapter 4~ No match for me

Aaron didn’t see the smile on Serena’s face as he walked out of the company with her.

She had returned this time to get what always belonged to her. When she left two years ago, it was just an excuse to not get married. After all, she was still young and there were many fish in the sea. Why should she settle for Aaron when there could be someone so much better?

Quite alright, Aaron was one of the eligible bachelors in Ashford City. Not only was he stinking rich, but he was devilishly handsome and had achieved great things at a young age.

Who wouldn’t want him?

Serena knew he would always want her but she wanted to explore her options. What if she lost someone better if she settled for Aaron just because he had a silly crush on her?

Besides, at that time, it wasn’t known who would be the heir of the Wentworth group. It was a debate between Aaron’s elder sister and himself. How could Serena possibly know that Celia Wentworth would fall in love with a foreigner and leave the country, thereby leaving Aaron as the only heir?

Now he had accomplished many things and was incomparable to other bachelors in the City. Since there was no one who could match up to Aaron now, she decided to return and take her place by his side.

But she discovered he wasn’t the same. The way he looked at her… his eyes didn’t have the same tw*nkle they had two years ago when he bid her farewell.

She had expected a more lively welcome. By now, he would have taken her to his fellow bachelor friends to show her around but he didn’t. It seemed like there was something on his mind.

Aaron went to arrange for the arrival of his male assistant that had been away for two years so Serena was left alone in the car.

She wanted to go after him but his phone suddenly rang. Her eyes squinted when she saw that the person who was calling was saved as ‘T’ by Aaron.

Her gentle demeanour suddenly vanished and a look of menace flashed through her eyes. It dawned on her that Aaron was acting strange because there was a woman in his life.

Serena couldn’t have that.

At the moment, Aaron was the only man who matched up to her. There was no way she would let him slip out of her fingers when he had always been hers from the beginning. So she watched as the phone rang and rang again with a vicious look on her face.

When the calls stopped coming through, a message was received. She tried to open the phone but there was a password.

She tried to use her birthday but it was denied. Anger surged within her. ‘When did Aaron change his password? Am I still his world?’

Pursing her lips into a thin line, she took out her phone and made a call.

“Big brother, I’m back,” She said the moment the call went through.

“Hey, little sis. What’s up?” The man she had called responded knowing she wanted something.

“Can you help me cr*ck Aaron’s phone password?”

“What do you need it for? Aaron isn’t someone you can do tricks on-”

“I know. But you know how he’s supposed to marry me but there’s another woman texting him.”

The man on the other side kept quiet for a moment. After a minute, he called out a string of numbers that Serena used on Aaron’s phone and it suddenly unlocked.

“Do what you need to do but be careful. Don’t lose this chance. We need the Wentworth group on our side. I’ll look into this female to see if she’s of any threat to you.”

The man was none other than Harry Winston, Serena’s brother. He was a tech expert and their company usually dealt with software development. Cracking a password was as simple as a walk in the park for him.
