Serena's legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
The lounge was covered with thick carpet and did not make much noise, but the atmosphere in the president's office was solemn and you could hear a pin drop. This small noise still alarmed the people outside.
Shen Dechang turned his head suddenly, "What's that sound?"
Chen Shi's expression changed, "Is there anyone else here?"
James looked towards the lounge without changing his expression and said, "Something must have fallen. I'll go take a look."
Serena heard footsteps approaching, and heard the doorknob being turned. She thought she should get up and deal with it in a more decent posture, but no, she couldn't get up.
She even felt that her head was too heavy to lift up, and could only lower her eyes and watch James' leather shoes appear at the door.
The pair of leather shoes did not step in, but only stayed at the door for a few seconds before changing direction.
"A book fel
"Take off, whose clothes?""I've watched so many movies, so I should know. Of course it's yours."Serena 's makeup was smudged from crying , and all the colors were smudged together. Even so, her face was still visibly flushed."you you you."She was so angry that she couldn't even finish her words. James interrupted her mercilessly, "You have to be sincere when you ask for help. What else can my sister-in-law give me besides this?""You're dreaming! I won't take it off!"Serena hugged herself tightly."Then there's nothing we can do. Secretary Xie was caught by his enemy before he could accomplish his goal. I hope you live long enough to wait him out in prison, which can be considered revenge."The corner of James' lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, and every word he said was like a knife stabbing into Serena's heart. Serena's sadness was overwhelmed by anger, and her tears stopped.She said hatefully, "If it doesn't work
"Dawson Group did intend to move north. I had just graduated and wanted to gain some experience, so I volunteered to study at Jincheng. Unfortunately, Jincheng Group was very strict, so I had to go to Chenyue instead. Although it wasn't commercial espionage, my purpose was not pure."Serena felt relieved.Jincheng Group is a leader in the business world, and has been operating for many years and is involved in many industries. It is normal for talented people to want to come here for training . It is impossible for every background to be spotless. There is nothing wrong with James being on guard, and strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Elliot's explanation."Actually, you don't need to explain to me. Even if you are really a spy, that is the business of the Jincheng Group and has nothing to do with me." Serena said lightly, "You are just Elliot to me."Elliot sensed something strange beneath her calmness."You are the widow of the elde
Serena drank a cup of iced tea as soon as she got home. Sister Sun saw that her eyes were red and she didn't dare to say much. After a while, she carefully comforted her, "Miss Xie, if you keep your unhappiness in your heart, you will get sick easily. You should speak it out."Serena knew she had misunderstood, but it was difficult to explain that she was crying because of the spicy food , so she could only nod and say, "I understand, Sister Sun. You have been taking good care of me over the past year. I am very grateful."Sister Sun was stunned. "This is my job. Miss Xie, you don't have to be so polite."Serena didn't say anything else. Sister Sun felt a little panicked. After she finished cleaning up, she immediately called Sun Heng . The other party didn't give any advice, but just said to keep observing and report if there was any problem.She observed closely. Serena didn't eat much for dinner. She took a shower and went to the study. Not long aft
The engagement party has officially entered the final countdown, and all preparations are proceeding in full swing. As the coordinating secretary, Serena has to deal with countless coordination matters, including coordination with the third brother's wife and Xue Nanyue.Xue Nanyue, who knew everything, did not tell her a word about the agreement between the Shen and Chen families . On the contrary, she changed her usual indifferent attitude and became very friendly.Even comforted her."Serena, we all understand. You were just defending yourself. Just focus on your work and don't worry about it. We'll take care of everything."If Serena didn't know the truth, she would probably be grateful.The third brother’s wife really didn’t understand, so her style remained the same as always, and she enjoyed the melon very deeply."Sister-in-law, let me tell you, I'm on your side this time. You were right to knock him. If you didn't, he might have di
James finally looked at her, a look of sudden realization.“It’s unlucky indeed.”The male and female protagonists of the engagement party arrived, and Serena pulled the planner and hotel manager together to make a report.Chen Xiaoyu was about to say a few words when Xue Nanyue came in. With her in charge, the report went smoothly and all the preparations before the engagement party came to an end."Oh, if William were still here, he would be very happy to see you finally grow up and settle down."Xue Nanyan pulled her son aside and said with emotion, "After the summer, it will be your eldest brother's death anniversary. Then you can take Xiaoyu to see him."Serena was holding a pile of documents and listening with her head down.Listen to James slowly say, "We'll talk about it then.""Why not tell me later?" Chen Xiaoyu pouted in dissatisfaction , "I want to go see my brother!"James looked at her gently, "Plans can't ke
before the engagement party , Serena got on Lin Boting's Bentley and went to Guangming Theater on Friday night.The play tonight is "Love in a Fallen City", which has become very popular in the past two years by the Capital Song and Dance Troupe . Good seats are hard to get. When it premiered two years ago, Serena and her colleagues were on a business trip to the capital. They watched it from afar in the second-floor box and even posted it on WeChat Moments.Serena hardly ever uses WeChat Moments. The number of times she posts on WeChat Moments in a year can be counted on dozens of fingers. She posted once for this drama , which shows that she really likes it.This time the ticket is for the front row, right in the middle, with the best view.Serena entered the theater wearing a smoky purple dress holding Lin Boting's arm. As soon as she sat down, she found many familiar faces in the social scene around her, which shows how popular theater tickets are.
Serena turned back stiffly.The haunting James reappears.It's really strange. Tomorrow is the engagement party. The heroine Chen Xiaoyu has been preparing everything at the Binhai Hotel in the morning, but the hero is very free and has come to watch the show.Lin Boting's gentleness instantly disappeared. He nodded slightly and said coldly, "Mr. Forrest, what a coincidence.""Yes, this is fate. Doctor Lin and I have a deep connection."James unbuttoned his suit jacket, lifted the hem, and sat down, his elbow resting on the left armrest, sitting in a casual posture."Sister-in-law, as the coordinating secretary and the guest performer, is still in the mood to come out and watch the show. I guess she thinks tomorrow is a sure thing."Serena leaned towards Lin Boting, trying to keep as much distance from the handrail as possible."My mission as a secretary has been completed. As for tomorrow, Mr. Forrest, I am just an insignifican
Lin Boting's Bentley stopped under the tree at the door. Serena didn't let him wait too long. She lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs in a daze. Seeing this, Lin Boting went up to support her.In fact, her heels today were not high enough to support her, but she was just absent-minded and so she was swaying.James did not follow out. From Lin Boting's perspective, he was still standing behind the door. The glass was carved with orchids and bamboos. The slender branches and leaves blocked most of his body and half of his face, making his figure vague.Just like before, Lin Boting was leaning against the front of the car and looking up.Serena suddenly leaned closer and James lowered his head, as if they were whispering or doing something intimate. Through the steps, the glass door, and the frosted pattern on the glass door, it was like seeing flowers in the fog or the moon in the water, unreal yet real.Lin Boting thought Serena would not
