She looked at him squarely. Although she might look like she's able to hold up in a fight, deep inside she's already feeling very weak. "I ensure you I will maintain my professionalism and will not allow our past to affect my work performance," she added to stress that in the end, she was here for work and not to wreck homes.
He raised his brows. His mouth twitched as if wanting to say something, but decided against it. He then knit his brows and stared at her. The ice daggers coming out of his eyes were all directed at her.
Ex boyfriend. Who would have thought that he would pave the way for these old flames to meet again? He wanted to punch himself in the face for convincing Bryan to return to the country and work for him.
“So, he’s the 'Bry' you called that night?” he said with an eyebrow raised and a mouth raised to a smirk; his tone laced with sarcasm.
“Excuse me, what?” She knitted her brows, trying to recall when did sh

He stopped leaning on his table and walked towards her. He reached out to her, but she stepped back.“Don’t you dare come near me or touch me”. She no longer cared about the designation of the person in front of her as she angrily shouted at him.“Shen, just let me explain--”“Serene! And don’t waste your breath. I don’t need to hear your excuse or your lame explanation. Nothing can change the fact that you chose to lie to me.” She took one deep breath and continued, “Bryan, you knew how much you mattered to me. But you threw that all away the moment you decided to lie to me. Did you think I will never find out? Did you think you can continue doing what you did with him and still keep me on the side?” She looked at him from head to toe. Her eyes were

Justin saw Serene get in Bryan’s office. With a scowl on his face, he followed her. His curiosity got the better of him and he eavesdropped. At first he hardly heard anything, but his brows slowly lifted when he heard both parties raising their voice to one another.He then furrowed brows as he listened to their exchange. Unable to stand it anymore, he turned around and walked away. He had just taken a few steps when the door opened and Serene immediately bolted out of it.With bloodshot eyes and tears streaming down her face, she marched out of the room. Oblivious to her surroundings, she almost bumped on him. She did not even bother stopping. She just walked quickly, as if escaping an attacker.

What is going on? Serene’s head is about to burst from confusion. Who is Chester? Why is he apologizing to me? Serene cocked her head as she stared at Chester. At this moment, Chester has closed his eyes as if gathering his thoughts.The way Chester looked has unlocked something in Serene’s brain. Once again, the picture of the man sitting at the edge of the bed, with his eyes closed, head tilted back and making titillating moans flashed right in front of her.Shocked, she covered her mouth with her hands, then pointed at Chester, “You’re Bryan’s husband?” Her tone was incredulous as she focused on Chester and forgetting his deadringer, whose aura just got colder.“Uhum,” Chester c

Justin kept turning and tossing on his bed. Unable to catch sleep, he stood up and walked out of the balcony. He took deep several breaths. Today’s events got out of his control. Who would have thought that his brother will barge into his office and reveal their relationship to Serene?He pinched his glabella, then let out a sneer. And what the fuck is up with his brother-in-law? Why does he seem to want to get close to his ex-girlfriend again?He hated the way he called her. “Shen…” he imitated the familiar way Bryan addressed Serene. It’s like a code name that they share. The insinuated intimacy added fuel to his irritation.Then he recalled the mocking comment Serene made when Chester addressed Bryan.“Dear? Really? Can&r

After two awkward minutes, Dylan just predominantly talked as if in a monologue since she and the irritable man they were with, would only give Dylan some verbal nods here and there. He did not seem to mind though.Serene had known Dylan from hosting fashion shows when she was in college. In the couple of times she'd work with him, she'd known him as somebody with a flamboyant personality, and easy to get along with. She recalled Mary had a crush on him back then.“Shen, sorry I got caught up in traffic,” a svelte lady approached her.Slightly catching her breath, she pecked each of her cheeks, not caring about the men Serene was with. She was wearing a black halter top and a leather miniskirt that accentuated her long slender legs. Her hair in a short bob.&

Mary paced back-and-forth in Serene’s living room. “What do you plan to do now?” She looked at Serene, who sat at the couch. “I don’t know yet. I might just go back home and start over.”“Have you told auntie and uncle already?” Serene never gave her family details on the reason she and Bryan broke up. They adored him and actually treated him as their son-in-law. It devastated them when they learned about their breakup.She did not want to hurt her parents, and she was not sure how they would take the reason for their breakup considering that they hold very conservative perspectives. She just shook her head to answer Mary’s question, looking very dejected.Mary let out a deep sigh and sat beside Serene. She hugged Serene from her back and said, “Why do these things happen to you?”Serene simply bowed her head. She asked the same question herself. Why do these things happen to her? Did she d

Serene’s eyes were as round as the moon as he stared at Justin. She kept blinking her eyes in disbelief. One second… two seconds… ten seconds…Serene still cannot believe her ears. She continued to stare at the man who was calmly bringing his coffee cup to his upturned mouth.“Say that again.” Her voice hitched up, sounding unconvinced that she heard him right.He gently placed the cup that kissed his mouth back on the table. He leaned forward and cupped his face in his right hand. Looking at her straight in the eyes, he uttered, “Come back to Hyacinth Bay with me.”So I heard him right, Serene mumbled. She stared at him as she digested his words, then responded flatly, “No.”
