Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280

Keith didn’t hesitate to agree to go with Serena.

Pedro wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking, ‘Looks like those rumors aren’t just idle gossip. There’s definitely something going on between Keith

and Serena.

“Please follow me upstairs. Mr. Arellano has been waiting for a while,” Pedro said, leading the way. Keith and Serena followed behind.

Serena couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous. Craig was a famous designer in the field she had admired for years. Ever since she first entered the design world, she’d been a huge fan of his work.

Rumor had it that Craig had a great sense of humor. No one who met him ever disliked him.

“Are you nervous?” Keith could easily sense the shift in Serena’s mood. In a quiet corner where no one was watching, he gently reached out and took her

hand.

Her fingers were icy cold. Hearing his words, Serena turned to meet his eyes and gave him a reassuring smile.

Though she was still a bit nervous, Serena knew she now had the confidence and skills to stand alongside a master like Craig.

At the very least, she wouldn’t let herself look timid. And for her, that was enough.

“This way, please. Since Mr. Arellano didn’t invite me, I’ll just wait out here,” Pedro said, opening the door for them with a polite nod and a smile.

Serena stepped into the room.

Craig was sitting at the table, sipping red wine. When he heard the door open, he turned around. The moment he saw Serena, his eyes lit up with surprise and admiration.

He’d always heard Serena was beautiful, but seeing her in person, Craig found that she was even more breathtaking than in her photos. Craig unconsciously put his glass down, unable to look away.

“Serena, I’ve heard so much about you,” Craig said, rising to greet her.

Serena felt genuinely flattered and quickly bowed. “I’m a big fan of you. I can’t believe you’ve actually heard of me.”

“Siren’s name has been making quite a splash in the design world lately,” Craig said with a warm smile.

Then his gaze shifted to Keith, who stood just behind Serena. “Mr. Brannon, nice to see you. Please have a seat. I just opened a bottle of Romanee–Conti.

Let’s enjoy it together.”

Serena felt honored, but she waved her hand politely to decline.

“I’d really love to enjoy it with you, but I can’t really hold my liquor. I’m afraid I might make a fool of myself in front of you,” she said with a sheepish

smile.

Craig just laughed and shook his head, looking as easygoing as the rumors said.

He said, “Oh, not at all. No need to apologize, Ms. Gray. Please, have a seat. Don’t be nervous.”

Seeing how approachable Craig was, Serena finally relaxed. She glanced at Keith, then took a seat on the sofa across from Craig.
