First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Coveting His Body

The images trending online are pictures taken by netizens who accidentally captured Serena Jennings being hoisted into a car by Caleb Lockwood.

There are also photos of them dining above the clouds in Country C, and Caleb setting off fireworks for her, with drones spelling out "Forgive me" and more.

Serena realized that she and Caleb must have been secretly photographed last night.

Turning off the trending topics, Serena thought it was silly how these netizens were so obsessed with her marriage and relationship status. Does it earn them an extra dollar in salary? It’s just a waste of data.

Serena went to work at the company as usual. These days, her focus was entirely on becoming the largest shareholder in the Lockwood Group, leaving her jewelry studio on the backburner.

"Our boss is really quite the sinful woman!"

In the ladies’ restroom, Reina Warren was gossiping with Xia Ai.

"Did you see this morning’s trending topics? Turns out our boss and President Lockwood are still married!"

"Before they divorced, President Lockwood was all over the rumors with Claire Shaw, so now him begging for forgiveness is useless."

"Exactly, who would’ve thought President Lockwood was such a scoundrel, having his cake and eating it too? If it were me, I’d definitely choose Dr. Page..." Reina added, with a hint of hesitation, "but occasionally spending a night with President Lockwood isn’t out of the question."

"You’re just lusting after his body."

"But it’s President Lockwood! Caleb Lockwood, with looks and money like his, don’t tell me you don’t find him tempting."

"I’m the boss’s assistant, so of course, I’m on her side without question... No matter how handsome President Lockwood is, I still think he’s unfair to our boss."

"But doesn’t the boss have Dr. Page by her side? Dr. Page has publicly stated he’s her boyfriend, yet now there’s news that the boss and President Lockwood aren’t divorced. Does this make Dr. Page the other man?"

Reina washed her hands while gossiping, and beside her, Xia Ai had already imagined a grand drama unfolding.

"Dr. Page being the ’other man’—he’s sacrificed quite a lot for love."

"Hey, who do you think the boss will choose in the end?"

"Whoever she chooses, it won’t get you two a pay raise. You might as well finish your work if you want the performance bonus."

Serena pushed open the cubicle door and stepped out.

Xia Ai and Reina yelped as if they’d seen a ghost.

They never expected their boss was standing right there while they gossiped about her love life.

"Sorry, boss, we’ll get back to work right away!"

Xia Ai dragged Reina out of the restroom in one swift motion.

Serena sighed.

She thought, it was unlikely that only Xia Ai and Reina were gossiping about her love life behind her back.

She didn’t understand how she suddenly became like a celebrity, with her private life so widely discussed.

This time, the trending topic about her and Caleb emerged naturally, but it wasn’t long before it was removed from the trending list by that afternoon.

Serena speculated that it was probably Arthur Lockwood pulling the strings.

Because Arthur was the one least likely to want the news of her not being divorced from Caleb to spread all over the internet.

But even though the trend was removed quickly, it couldn’t beat out the internet’s speed of dissemination, affecting the Lockwood Group’s stock price, making it extremely volatile.

As it neared the end of the workday, Serena suddenly received a package.

She hadn’t ordered anything online recently, and the delivery indicated local dispatch.

Serena didn’t think much of the package and asked Xia Ai to open it for her.

"Boss!"

Xia Ai’s voice was filled with noticeable excitement, causing Serena, who was focused on sketching, to look up. She saw Xia Ai holding up something from the box with both hands to show her.

Serena blinked, expressionless.

"Boss, this is this year’s limited edition spring lime green Birkin from Hermès. They say there are only five in the world, and even if you have the money, it’s hard to get one! Who’s so generous!"

Xia Ai was practically drooling with envy.

Although the package didn’t have a signature, Serena could already guess.

There was only one person who would buy such a high-luxury limited-edition handbag for her.

"Boss, is today your birthday?"
