Chapter 237
It was only a little past 5 am. A normal household would not have breakfast this early."From now on, breakfast will be served according to your work hours. You'll definitely get to have breakfast before going to work every day," said Jackson. He led Serenity to the dining table and gently pressed down on her shoulders to make her sit down.Serenity did so obediently. There was a rich variety of food on the table. She had a glass of milk, a bowl of congee, and a few pastries.It was a much more sumptuous breakfast than the $2 buns she usually bought in the morning.It also made her even more aware that she was truly living in the Valor Residence now and not in that tiny rental house."I'll ask my driver to drive you to the sanitation office," said Jackson."No, it's fine. I'll just take the bus," Serenity quickly refused."The sanitation office is pretty far away. You'll have to change buses twice. You're gonna be late." He looked at her calmly, as if he was sure she would relen

"So far, no one has been able to find out what brand the scarf and gloves are. Some people say they might be hand-knitted and custom-made by a famous designer."Serenity sweated profusely while listening to her co-workers' discussion. She wondered how they would feel if they knew that she was the one who knitted the scarf and gloves.When Xyla saw Jackson Valor's scarf and gloves on their co-worker's phone, she could not help wondering, "Those gloves look a lot like the pair you were knitting before, Serenity."After all, not only did Xyla see Serenity knit those gloves, Serenity would even ask Xyla for advice whenever she encountered a problem while knitting. Xyla naturally remembered what the gloves looked like.But Xyla's words were immediately met with ridicule by their co-workers."Xyla, how would Serenity's gloves end up on Jackson Valor's hands?""Even if Jackson Valor's gloves are hand-knitted, they must have been made by a famous designer. There's no way he would wear a

"I know." Aria suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. The only thing she could do now was to go to Serenity and ask her directly.She must find out what the relationship between Serenity and Lucas was!When Serenity came out of the bathroom in the evening, she saw from the gap underneath the door connecting the two rooms that the light in the other room was turned on.Was Jackson... home?Serenity knocked on the door. She wanted to talk to him about the matter of going to work in his car.However, the door was not closed properly, so when she knocked on it, it was instantly pushed open. She immediately saw a large projection on a screen diagonally to her left. It was a video conference. She could see many foreigners on the screen.The people in the video conference obviously saw her too. They all turned towards her."That's a woman... What's a woman doing in your room at this hour, Jack?" Someone asked in astonishment."Jack, is she your girlfriend?""Why don't you introduce

Serenity felt like a panda being on display at the zoo."Hmm? Do you really want me to send you to work?" he asked again.Her face became even redder. She answered sharply, "No." She then hastily retreated back to her room and closed the connecting door.Jackson smiled. When he turned around, his face had returned to its usual stoic expression. He walked back to the chair, sat down, and unmuted."Let's continue the meeting," Jackson said indifferently, ignoring the curious looks."Jack, was that the person who called you during our last meeting?" Someone could not hold back his curiosity anymore and asked.Jackson raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you really want to know?"The man shivered upon hearing that. He laughed it off and said, "Umm... Yeah, let's continue the meeting."Although the meeting went on normally after that, all of them could not stop thinking of one thing – their CEO was living together with a woman!Aria went to the rental house to look for Serenity, but

Aria's face turned stiff. However, she could not afford to get mad right now, so she could only put on a fake smile. She took out her wallet and asked Serenity, "How much?""$106," replied Serenity.Aria took out $200 from her wallet, trying to act generous. "Keep the change. Consider it a gift from me."Serenity scoffed. She took the money and said, "A gift from you? Please, I'm the one who's showing you kindness by only taking this much. If I press charges for assault, how much do you think you would have to pay?"Aria blushed profusely. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask so no one saw it.She had almost forgotten that Serenity used to be a lawyer!"I would never hurt you on purpose." Aria put on a fake smile. "It was an accident, I swear.""Aria, what's the point of putting on a show in front of me?" Serenity looked at Aria in amusement, "You and I both know what kind of person you are. There's no one else here. All this acting will just make me think that you're a clown."

But the women were under the illusion that they were being spoiled.Aria took off her sunglasses and glared at Serenity with eyes that looked like they were spitting fire. "Serenity, Lucas is mine!""You should tell him that, not me," Serenity replied coldly."You..." Aria harrumphed and walked away furiously.Since she could not get any answer from Serenity, there was no point in wasting her time. However... she would make Serenity pay for what she said today!What did Serenity mean by "it's not like you'll be Lucas Gomez's girlfriend for long"? She would be Lucas Gomez's last girlfriend!She would not concede Lucas Gomez to anyone no matter what!That night, Serenity received a voice message from the organizer of the extras. He asked her to go to the same filming venue again on her day off this week."The director said you did pretty well in some of the shots. There's a group scene that they still haven't filmed yet. They want to use the same group of extras as last time for

Her face became even redder. She tried her best to move her face away from his fingers, but his fingers followed her like a shadow; she could not avoid them at all."Jackson Valor, stop teasing me," she said, short of breath. Under the light, her almond-shaped eyes did not look as gloomy as usual; in fact, due to her anger, they looked very spirited.He stared at her eyes in fascination. He had seen many eyes that were prettier, but this was the only pair of eyes that could fascinate him like this.Looking into her eyes, it made him want to monopolize her gaze. He did not want her to look at other men with those eyes."What if I'm not teasing you? What if I tell you that I can give you as much money as you want? Would you be willing to put up with me?"She could feel the coolness of his touch on her lips, as if his fingertips were continuously taking away her heat."I'd only take what I earn with my labor," she said, but she could not stop her heart from beating fast.He must be

"Don't say that, Melly!" Someone chided her."I'm just stating a fact," the woman named Melissa Zest snorted."But it's also a fact that she just got off a BMW," another person said."Maybe she managed to land a rich guy. Some people don't have any talent, but they know how to seduce men," said Melissa, her voice filled with jealousy.Last week, she thought Serenity was really unlucky to offend the second female lead, but who could have expected the prince of the entertainment industry to suddenly step forward and carry her all the way to the break room?Melissa was incredibly jealous. She had always dreamed of getting an opportunity like that. Melissa regretted it for days afterwards.If she had known, she would have volunteered when Aria Lewis asked Serenity to demonstrate the kneeling and kowtowing. Although it was humiliating, it won Lucas Gomez's attention, so it was definitely worth it.Melissa thought the luxury car just now must belong to Lucas Gomez. He must have asked
