First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Fire Him

"...Mm..."

Serena Jennings nodded, then added, "Caleb Lockwood is now my assistant."

"Is it just because of that?"

Serena was taken aback.

Ethan White, right in front of her, had a face full of visible anxiety.

Serena sighed softly.

She knew what Ethan White was worried about.

"Ethan... I won’t be with Caleb Lockwood again."

These words were said casually by Serena, but her gaze towards Ethan was determined.

Ethan slowly swallowed the breath he’d been holding in his chest.

He didn’t distrust Serena.

But he really didn’t like seeing Caleb Lockwood always hanging around Serena.

"Can’t you just fire him?"

"I..."

"You keep saying you won’t be with him again, yet you keep him by your side, inseparable... Serena, isn’t this contradictory?"

"..."

Questioned by Ethan, Serena was at a loss for words.

Keeping Caleb by her side wasn’t because she was still nostalgic for him.

She just felt that having Caleb as her assistant made his actions controllable, and she could utilize his talents.

And also...

Once she had served Caleb humbly, and now, tables have turned, it was Caleb who became her assistant.

To say she didn’t feel a bit smug would definitely be a lie.

Her heart churned with emotions, yet Serena said nothing.

Ethan saw Serena hesitating, lowering his regret-filled eyes.

"Sorry, I shouldn’t interfere in your personal matters... but..."

"You don’t need to apologize, I know you care about me."

Hearing Serena’s words, Ethan suddenly raised his head.

"Serena, I’m not concerned about you as a friend."

Seeing Ethan’s intense gaze fixated on her, Serena subconsciously held her breath.

"As your suitor, I can’t help but feel jealous, envious..."

"Ethan..."

Serena’s hands were tightly clasped together.

Ethan’s passionate feelings flooded over her like lava, making her heart a chaotic mess.

"Serena, you’ve already succeeded in your career... Only your love life remains unsettled..."

Ethan’s voice was so tense that it trembled by the end.

"Since you don’t want to reconcile with Caleb... then why, why not try accepting me? My love for you... has never changed since high school until now."

Ethan’s eyes shone as if with tears, his voice and expression sincerely unquestionable.

Serena’s heart wavered involuntarily.

At least Ethan had never hurt her.

She believed she would be happy with Ethan.

But...

Seeing Serena lower her head, Ethan suddenly felt a chill going through him.

"Serena..."

"Can you give me some time to think about it..."

Thinking he would definitely be rejected, hope reignited in Ethan’s eyes.

For Serena to say she needed time to think meant he still had a chance.

"Alright... take your time to consider..."

Ethan couldn’t honestly say he wasn’t anxious.

But he didn’t want to pressure Serena into making a quick decision.

He had silently cherished Serena for so many years.

A few more days wouldn’t matter.

Ethan and Serena continued their meal.
