Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

As soon as closing time hit, Serena did something completely out of character. She packed up all her things and got ready to leave.

Her coworkers couldn’t help but find it strange since Serena usually stayed late. She was famous for being a workaholic, and her dedication had made the entire design department step up their game.

Today the office overachiever was actually leaving on time.

“Serena, did you finish all your work already?” one colleague asked.

Serena shook her head with a smile. “Not really, but I have plans tonight, so I’m heading out early.”

Her coworker grinned teasingly. “Don’t tell me you’re going on a date?”

Serena quickly waved her hands. “Just meeting a friend.”

Her colleague had only been joking around, but seeing how flustered Serena got, she nodded and laughed, “Well, if you’ve got plans, don’t let me keep you chatting. Go on. Don’t keep your friend waiting.”

Serena nodded, finished packing her things, said goodbye to her coworkers, and headed downstairs. Keith was already waiting in his car outside the company entrance. As soon as he saw Serena, he rolled down the back window.

“Alyssa, it’s so good to see you.” Serena’s heart melted when she saw the little girl sitting obediently in her car seat. She opened the door and got in

beside her.

Alyssa looked at Serena with longing eyes, missing her terribly.

Keith had explained that Serena was busy with work, which was why they couldn’t visit. Being the understanding child she was, Alyssa pressed her lips

together and nodded shyly.

“I already made dinner reservations before we came. Alyssa, didn’t you say you had a gift for Serena?” Keith said.

“Really?” Serena looked at Alyssa with delighted surprise.

Alyssa ducked her head and pulled a brooch from her little bunny purse. It was simple in design, but it suited Serena perfectly. Even in the dim car interior, it gave off a soft, delicate sparkle.

Serena could tell right away that the pearls were expensive. She reached over and gently pinched Alyssa’s cheek. “I love it, but this brooch is way too

valuable.”

Keith spoke up from the driver’s seat, “Alyssa rarely wants to buy anything, and she picked this one out herself. Just accept it. It’s not that big of a deal.”

Alyssa nodded and took Serena’s finger with her small, soft hand, pushing the brooch toward her.

Keith rarely showed such emotional reactions, so when he caught sight of this scene in the rearview mirror, he couldn’t help but smile. “Alyssa’s definitely closer to you. You two sitting together look more like a family than we do,” he said.
