Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 289

As soon as he saw her, he gave her a friendly grin.

“Hi, Serena.” Craig greeted her while stepping right up to her. Serena’s expression soured. She really hadn’t expected Craig to chase her all the way here.

“Mr. Arellano, ! thought I made myself very clear on the phone yesterday. I want nothing to do with you,” Serena said firmly.

A few colleagues walked in, and they gave them curious looks. After all, Craig was a big name in the design world, so the employees couldn’t help but sneak glances at them.

“But my feelings for you are genuine. I really want you to be my girlfriend,” Craig said, not even blinking.

“Sure, I do have a girlfriend, but you could be my mistress. I promise I’ll make sure you’re well taken care of,” he said smoothly, without a hint of shame.

“Resources, money–whatever you want, just say the word, and I’ll make it happen,” he added.

Serena was utterly speechless at his audacity.

“Mr. Arellano, do you even hear yourself right now?” she said, her voice thick with disbelief.

Of course, Craig knew exactly what he was doing. He’d had his eye on Serena’s face for a long time, and the moment he got back to Zowerin, he reached out to her. From the very beginning, he’d been after her for this exact reason.

He hadn’t expected to be exposed so soon. But now that the truth was out, Craig couldn’t be bothered to keep up the act. After all, he was sure no designer would ever say no to him.

In his opinion, Serena could rise to the very top with his backing. It was a privilege most designers could only dream of. And now, Craig was offering it to her on a silver platter.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t accept that. Honestly, what you just said made me sick,” Serena said, her face cold and unyielding.

“Please stop bothering me. If you keep making these unreasonable demands or keep harassing me, I’ll call the police,” she added, her voice firm and

resolute.

With that, Serena didn’t hesitate–she kicked Craig out of the studio on the spot.

“Are you really not going to reconsider? No one else can even come close to the kind of resources I can give you.” Craig pressed, his tone full of

confidence.

Craig was honestly surprised that Serena turned hi

down, but in his eyes, she was just playing hard to get.

Everyone wanted to climb higher, and in the international design world, there was a clear pecking order–designers from Zowerin were always looked down on. Craig was the only Zowerin designer they truly trusted.

“I’m absolutely certain I won’t get involved in this kind of arrangement with you. And I’d advise you to take girls‘ feelings seriously. Otherwise, it might come back to bite you one day,” Serena said coldly.

With that, she firmly closed the door, shutting

dig/out completely.

Then she turned to her employees and gave a clear instruction. “If Craig comes by again, make sure he doesn’t get in.”

Even though no one really knew what had gone down between the two of them, it was obvious to everyone that Serena wasn’t in a good mod

They nodded right away and promised, “Don’t worry, Serena. We definitely won’t let him in next time.”

Seeing everyone was on her side, Serena took a deep breath, her expression finally relaxing a bit. Looking back on her recent dealings with Craig, she felt
