Chapter 287
“Tell me who your boyfriend is, so we can see if there’s actually some misunderstanding. Don’t just come here and throw a tantrum,”
The woman seemed stunned by Serena’s composure, her eyes welling up as she stared at her, choked up and at a loss for words.
She replied, “My boyfriend is Craig. Ever since you
met him, he hasn’t come to
see
me
at
all. Don’t tell me there’s nothing going on between you two”
off guard.
Hearing that name, Serena froze, completely
She was more shocked than anyone else. Th would be Craig’s girlfriend.
woman in front of Serena looked even younger than her, and it was hard to imagine someone like her
But the hurt and anger in the woman’s eyes were all too real, and Serena felt her heart plummet.
“Serena, should we still call the police?” Cindy asked, noticing that something
was
off with Serena and stepping closer.
“No need for now,” Serena said.
Serena still had no idea what was really going on. If this woman were indeed Craig’s girlfriend, then there must be some kind of misunderstanding between the two of them.
The woman sneered, “Feeling guilty now? You’d better stay away from Craig.
“He’s only interested in you because you’re something new to him. He’s not actually into you. Do yourself a favor and back off.”
With that, the woman broke free from their grip and walked out of the studio with everyone staring at her.
“Serena, are you okay?” one of her colleagues asked, concern written all over their face.
The worried looks from her colleagues warmed Serena’s heart. Back then, at other companies, if her colleagues had heard something like this, their first reaction would have been suspicion.
But here at Studio Delune, it seemed like everyone was on her side.
As if sensing what Serena was thinking, a colleague nearby scratched their head and said, “Don’t worry, Serena. We won’t spread any rumors.
“We’ve all worked together for so long, and we know what kind of person you are. You’d never mess with someone else’s relationship. There must be some kind of misunderstanding.”
Serena’s eyes grew a little misty as she nodded, moved by the trust in everyone’s eyes.
She replied, “Thank you, guys. Please just give me a little time. I’ll get to the bottom of this. I promise I won’t let something like this happen again.”
“Forget about it,” her colleagues reassured her, waving their hands.

When lunch break ended, Lana came back in, looking all excited. But the moment she saw Serena with a long face, her smile disappeared right away.
She gave a couple of awkward coughs and asked, “What’s wrong, Seri? Why the long face?”
Serena kept her face grim as she filled Lana in on everything that had happened during lunch break. Then she said, “Let’s just keep our dis.. Craig from now on.
“It doesn’t matter if that woman was telling the truth or not. Being around him is always a risk.”
