Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Alyssa looked at Keith with a hint of confusion, as if those big, sparkling eyes were saying, “Isn’t it obvious enough?”

He turned to look at Serena, noticing how the warm light cast a soft glow on her figure. As if sensing his gaze, she turned and gave them a small smile.

For a moment, Keith thought that if life could go on like this, it might not be so bad. What he didn’t know was that Serena had already had the same thought a long time ago.

Serena didn’t know why he suddenly looked her way, but she quickly finished tidying up and returned to Alyssa’s side.

Keith spoke up. “How about you ride to work with me from tomorrow on? I can drive, so it’ll save you some hassle.”

But Serena shut that idea down right away. “People might get the wrong idea. We should go separately. The office is really close anyway, so there’s no need to trouble yourself.”

As she spoke, her expression stayed gentle, but she didn’t leave Keith any room to argue.

Back when Tara showed up, plenty of people had already gotten the wrong idea about Serena and Keith. After things were cleared up and since Keith had such a stern demeanor, nobody at the company talked about it anymore.

But that didn’t mean everyone actually believed there was nothing between the two of them.

Serena just wanted to do her job and chase her goals at the company. She knew that Keith meant well, but she didn’t want their private lives to spill into the workplace.

Seeing how firm she was, Keith understood her concern and could only nod. “Sorry. It’s all because Tara stormed into the office out of nowhere. I dragged you into that mess.”

To Serena, it had just been a storm she never saw coming.

“It’s all in the past now,” Serena said calmly. “And no one could’ve predicted something like that would happen.” She hadn’t expected her earlier response to make Keith overthink things either.

She looked up at Keith with a helpless expression. “Come on, Keith. Do I really seem like the type to get hung up on every little thing?”

Still, no matter what, going to work together was clearly off the table.

Serena arrived at the office as usual, only to find Graham already waiting nearby.

Back when the rumors had been spreading like wildfire throughout the company, Graham had chosen to believe her. After all, he already knew the truth about her relationship with Keith before any of that even started.

Graham had always been willing to trust Serena. To him, a person’s work always said a lot about their true character.

He figured that anyone who could come up with designs that pure and genuine just wasn’t the type to get involved in someone else’s marriage, like Tara

said.

“Did you need something from me?” Serena smiled as she set her bag down at her desk.

Graham didn’t waste any time. He nodded. “There’s a client meeting today. I’d like to bring you along, if you’re free.”

Serena was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to bring her along for a business meeting. But thinking about it, it made sense.

The two of them were now the team lead and assistant lead. Naturally, they were the best pair to handle major client meetings.
