“It suits me well,” replied Serenity. “That’s great. If you need anything else, let me know. You don’t have to be embarrassed about it. If you feel bad about it, you can always pay me back after you get your paycheck,” said Lisa.“Alright.” Serenity smiled, but there was a hint of reluctance in her expression.“What’s the matter? Is there something else that you need?” “No, it’s just…” After a moment’s pause, Serenity continued speaking. “Yesterday, when you picked me up… do you remember what I was doing?” She had been thinking about this all day, but she couldn’t remember what she had done after walking out of Skylit Bar completely intoxicated. The only thing she vaguely remembered was seeing Jackson.“You… uh... passed out in Jackson’s arms,” said Lisa. Serenity froze up in an instant. “Did… anything else happen?” “No. After I arrived, both Terry and I helped you get into the car,” explained Lisa. “But… before we left, I was still angry at him for breaking up with you, so I gave

“Alright, understood,” replied Serenity.“We’re going to submit the documents tomorrow, so the client must sign it today,” reminded Mr. Graham before handing her the client’s information.When Serenity called the number he gave her, it was the client’s secretary who answered the call. He told her that his boss was attending a party that night at Splendour and that if she wanted the document to be signed, she would have to find him there. Over the phone, he told her the hall number where the party was being held.Splendour was one of the most popular nightclubs in Solaria. When Serenity arrived at the hall, she found herself surrounded by a sea of people, all partying wildly. For a moment, she felt lost and couldn’t figure out which person was her client.It was after she called the secretary again that she found their client standing next to the pool table.At first glance, she could tell he was from a rich family. His reputation wasn’t the greatest—due to his violent tendencies towa

What was he doing here today?! She never thought she would bump into Lucas so soon. Looks like the world was smaller than she thought. Serenity glanced up and a figure entered her field of view. Tonight, Lucas was dressed in a white casual outfit. Compared to the formal outfits that he usually wore, he looked much more laid back. With the help of the lighting, she was able to make out the faint indifference in his expression. Even though he was surrounded by the crowd, she always felt that there was an invisible barrier that separated him from the ruckus around him. It was as if he had set up a barrier in the area around him, and he never allowed anyone to step into his world so easily. In the past… the only one who could step through this barrier was the little girl who had walked through hell with him, or in other words… her former self! But… Serenity’s gaze fell upon the woman who had walked into the hall arm-in-arm with him. She was her cousin, Lynette, who was serving as h

In the eyes of commoners, these people were all rich folks. However, within the community, the social circles were divided into various levels. Just when Coles least expected it, Lucas replied, “Sure.” Of course, he was immediately overjoyed when he heard that. It felt as if he had won a big prize. If he could use this opportunity to get acquainted with Lucas, his status within the community might get elevated in the future. When Coles brought Lucas and Lynette over to the pool table, Serenity had no choice but to greet them with a reluctant smile. It seemed like… your worst fears would always come back to haunt you. Serenity took a deep breath and stepped forward. “Mr. Lexington, before that, could you please sign this document?” “Stand aside! Can’t you see that you’re bothering us?” snapped Coles impatiently. He was worried that she would stand in the way of him and Lucas. Serenity lowered her head and bit her lip nervously. She could feel Lucas’ gaze on her body. It was only

"I like it, I didn't know pool could be so much fun," Lynette laughed. Coles would not stop flattering Lucas and Lynette. He said that Lucas gave good advice and Lynette had natural talent.Serenity, who was standing off to the side, was completely ignored.Serenity could not believe how fake Lynette was. She never knew that her cousin could lie with such confidence.Lucas must wholeheartedly believe that Lynette was the little girl who saved him by now.Even if Serenity were to tell Lucas the truth now, he might not believe her.The pain in her knees was getting worse.Serenity frowned, her lips shut tight. She tried her best to ignore the pain in her knees and told herself to hang in there.She had to wait until the game ended to talk to Coles.Because Serenity's head hung low, she was unaware that a certain someone was looking at her out of the corner of his eye.Lucas knew that he should stop caring about Serenity Lewis. They had made things very clear between them that

Serenity suddenly stumbled, her knees giving out.Just as she was about to collapse, a hand grabbed her waist and prevented her fall."What's wrong with your legs?" Lucas asked coldly, having noticed her limp when she walked over just now. "It's an old injury," Serenity replied, then thanked him for his help. He pursed his lips and withdrew his hand. His eyes moved to her legs. An old injury? She had that kind of old injury?"Serenity, are you okay?" Lynette quickly showed Serenity concern. "If your legs bother you, sit down and take a break."Serenity gave her cousin a cold stare. If Lynette truly cared about Serenity, she would not have let Serenity stand there for so long while she played pool.Coles was surprised. He asked with an uneasy expression, "You... know each other?" "Yes, we're cousins," Lynette said with a smile.Coles became even more uneasy. He said to Serenity, "Why didn't you tell me that earlier? If you had, I would've signed the document in a heartbeat."

No! No! That's impossible! Lynette told herself.Sooner or later, she would replace Serenity's existence entirely. She would be the one standing by Lucas' side. She would have the last laugh!Serenity took a bus back to her apartment. Her legs hurt so much by the time she reached home that she could barely lift them. She quickly took a couple of transdermal patches from the medicine kit and stuck them on her knees.After a while, she felt a soothing heat on her knees and the pain started to ease. She let out a deep breath.She felt as if she had fought a battle tonight. She was completely worn out. There was a layer of cold sweat on her back.It appeared that she should not stay in an air-conditioned place for too long even in the summer. Her joints could not take it!She accidentally ran into Lucas and Lynette tonight. When Lucas grabbed her arm and asked her about Jackson, she felt like her heart had been stabbed again.In the past, if she had to go to a nightclub at night, J

Jackson... actually broke up with Serenity? Impossible! He would not even let another man get close to her. How could he break up with her?Lucas had known Jackson for many years. He knew that Jackson was unapproachable by nature and had never really shown real interest in any woman. Serenity was the only one, an exception.People like Jackson tend to fall in love hard if they ever did fall in love.He would actually break up with Serenity?"Why did you guys break up?" Lucas took a step closer and asked. "That's personal. I don't have to tell you," she replied, taking two steps back to keep her distance. "If that's all, I'm going inside. I'm tired."She took out her key, opened the door to her apartment, walked inside, and shut the door.Lucas remained outside in a daze.He stared at the closed door. The serene look on her face when she mentioned the breakup somehow made his heart ache.Her calmness suggested that she was hiding her pain.He shouldn't be concerned about her,
