Chapter 262
Lana looked proud as she said, “I just puffed out my chest and told them, ‘Siren’s my best friend. They were all so jealous.”
Ever since coming back home, Serena had no plans to leave again. Maybe it was because there were people at home she cared about, and now, she had new ties, too.
After they finished eating, Keith’s driver picked them up again. As Lana got out of the car, she leaned through the window and said seriously. “I hope you’ll really think about what I told you today.”
With that, she waved at Serena. “It’s getting late. Go home.”
Serena sat in the car, lost in thought the whole way. She felt the same the next day at work. She hesitated, not sure how to bring it up to Keith.
But she couldn’t deny Lana was right, and as Lana’s good friend, she wanted to be there to help the studio get off the ground.
“You’ve seemed off all day,” Keith said, noticing her distant look. He decided to speak up.
He didn’t know exactly what was going on, but he’d been waiting for her to say something. Seeing how torn she was, though, he figured she might keep putting it off.
“Guess you noticed,” Serena said with a faint, wry smile.
Since he’d brought it up, she held nothing back, telling him about her conversation with Lana last night.
She said, “I just feel bad. I got this job at Brannon Creative Group from you. Things have finally settled down here, and if I leave now, you’ll just have more on your plate.”
Keith was quiet for a moment, then shook his head. “I get what Lana’s saying. You should leave Brannon Creative Group and go develop at a better studio.”
Keith had actually known about it when Regina tried to poach Serena earlier. Back then, he’d already started thinking about what Serena’s next steps might be.
Regina had been sincere enough when she offered Serena a job, but with Regina and Edward constantly fighting over power, Serena would’ve inevitably ended up caught in the middle, used as a tool to balance things out.,
Now, though, Lana’s offer had cleared up all those worries of his.
“Keith…” Serena’s eyes held a touch of helplessness. “You could be harder on me, you know. You should be. I’ve been involved in so many of the company’s matters.
“If I leave now, Brannon Creative Group is just going to have a lot of unnecessary trouble.”
Keith couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek. Meeting her surprised gaze, he smiled, “That’s my problem to think about, not yours.”
