“Oh, by the way, Mr. Brannon asked me to tell you there’s a dinner tonight and he wants you to come with him,” Graham said.

Serena snapped back to reality and nodded. “Okay, got it.”

That evening, Serena easily spotted Keith’s car in front of the office building and walked over to it.

The window rolled down, revealing Keith’s sharp profile. He turned to look at her, and the soft glow from the streetlights caught in his eyes, making them look especially deep. “Get in, it’s cold out there.”

Serena opened the car door and slid inside. “So why do you suddenly need me to come to this business dinner?”

Keith looked a bit helpless at her question. “The client we’re meeting tonight specifically asked to see you. He must have seen your designs and really

liked them, so he wants to talk with you more.”

This kind of networking was definitely good for Serena’s career, and it would help her build more connections. Keith would never turn down an opportunity like this for her.

“I see.” Serena knew he was looking out for her, so she smiled softly, “Thanks, Keith. We’ve known each other for so long now, you don’t need to be so

formal.”

The car started moving, and Serena turned to look out the window when suddenly a suit jacket landed on her lap.

“I left it in the car a while ago and forgot to take it back. It’s been washed, so you can wear it for now,” Keith said from the other side of the car.

It was already late summer, and the evenings were definitely getting cooler. Serena had no reason to refuse, so she thanked him quietly and pulled the suit jacket tighter around herself. It was much warmer now.

The restaurant wasn’t far from there. When they got out of the car, Serena handed Keith’s jacket back to him, and they walked into the restaurant side by side. The client was already waiting for them.

“Mr. Brannon, it’s been a while,” said Tristan Blake, a middle–aged man who practically had his eyes glued to Serena the moment he saw her behind

Keith.

His stare made Serena uncomfortable, but she didn’t want to make a scene.

“It’s been a while,” Keith replied. Seeing what was happening, he casually moved to block Serena from view. He was actually starting to regret bringing

her tonight.

“This must be Serena Gray. I’ve heard so much about you! Tell me, would you be interested in joining our company?” Tristan asked.

Serena had already felt uncomfortable before, but now, his comment was completely inappropriate. “I’m sorry, but my boss is sitting right here. It would be pretty unethical to talk about jumping ship, don’t you think?”

Keith’s expression had already turned ice–cold, but Tristan was completely oblivious. He walked right over and sat down next to Serena.

“What’s the big deal? Mr. Brannon’s not a petty guy.” Tristan leaned in closer, his sleazy gaze lingering on Serena’s face. “Besides, this shows how much I value your skills. I’m serious. If you’re willing to come to Blake Group, I can offer you a much better package.”

“Tristan, that’s enough,” Keith said sharply. He grabbed Serena’s arm and pulled her behind him, completely blocking Tristan’s view.

That was when Tristan finally noticed Keith’s eyes had turned deadly cold. He cleared his throat awkwardly.
