Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187

Regina’s people came by soon after to sign the contract, and Serena met with her the next day. They’d arranged to meet at a coffee shop, and when Serena walked in, she saw Regina sitting comfortably by the window.

Regina looked up at the sound of the door chime and broke into a smile. “Nice to see you, Ms. Gray,” she said warmly, like she was greating an old friend.

Serena had been feeling a bit nervous, but Regina’s tone put her at ease as she sat down across from her. “Nice to see you again, Ms. Aniston.”

Regina raised an eyebrow and smiled, “I’ve looked at a lot of your work before, and I think you’re incredibly talented. If you can design my wedding suits like the examples on your portfolio, my happiness levels are going to be through the roof.”

Serena hadn’t expected such high praise and felt a bit embarrassed.

Regina called over a server and ordered coffee based on Serena’s preferences before speaking again.

“But just so we’re clear, I need to explain something first.” Regina folded her hands together. “The person I’m marrying isn’t Victor. Long story short, our families called off the engagement.”

This news hadn’t been announced publicly yet. Even though everyone probably had their suspicions, Serena was still surprised to hear it.

What caught her off guard wasn’t that Victor and Regina had broken up. It was that Regina was willing to share this with someone she’d only met twice.

“Victor was just one of my options anyway. But after all that drama, I don’t have a habit of picking up trash,” Regina said with a dismissive wave.

She couldn’t help but complain, “He’s got so much baggage, and that Eliza woman is such a fake little manipulator. How did you put up with her back

then?”

Seeing Regina’s expression turn into that classic spoiled rich girl pout, Serena couldn’t help but laugh.

Regina looked like a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, but she wasn’t stupid or blindly romantic. For her, compatibility mattered way more than anything else.

That was why Victor could become one of her choices in the beginning, and now, Regina could just as easily cross him off her list.

‘That kind of attitude toward relationships is actually pretty smart. It keeps you from getting hurt,‘ Serena thought.

“Anyway, that’s mainly why I wanted to meet with you today. I really respect you, and I hope this whole situation won’t affect our working relationship,” Regina said.

Serena had never planned to mix her personal life with work anyway, so she gave Regina a sincere promise. “Ms. Aniston, you don’t have to worry about that. I’ll give my absolute best on every project and make sure your money is well spent.”

“That’s great, but… I have something else I need to discuss with you.” Regina suddenly straightened up, and her expression became much more serious than before.
