Leap OF Fate

Chapter 17

Justin saw Serene get in Bryan’s office. With a scowl on his face, he followed her. His curiosity got the better of him and he eavesdropped. At first he hardly heard anything, but his brows slowly lifted when he heard both parties raising their voice to one another.

He then furrowed brows as he listened to their exchange. Unable to stand it anymore, he turned around and walked away. He had just taken a few steps when the door opened and Serene immediately bolted out of it.

With bloodshot eyes and tears streaming down her face, she marched out of the room. Oblivious to her surroundings, she almost bumped on him. She did not even bother stopping. She just walked quickly, as if escaping an attacker.

Soon after, a disheveled looking Bryan came out of the room intending to run after her. He stopped his actions when he saw Justin. Both their eyes met. As if quietly assessing the strength of the other. “Stay out of this,” Bryan’s voice was resolute. Justin simply raised a brow and gave him a sarcastic smirk, then walked away.

Serene absentmindedly sat on her chair. Her eyes were red and slightly puffy. She pursed her lips as she looked blankly on her wall. An incoming call broke her trance-like state. It was CEO Justin’s secretary. He asked her to come up to his office again.

She cannot help but shake her head. Since she got hired, she has never seen her department’s VP, much more the former CEO President. But now, she’s got called several times by these two. And each time she's called, she ends up wrecked.

Reaching the CEO’s office, his receptionist just gave her a polite nod to show that she can go to the office. She gently knocked twice, and an authoritative voice signaled her to come in.

He was sitting behind his desk and was twirling a pen with his fingers. Soon as she walked in, he stood up to walk in front of his desk. He did not ask her to sit.

Before he could even open his mouth to speak, she had already beaten him to it. “CEO Rain, first, I would like to apologize. I know that I have assured you that the past relationship I’ve had with Mr. Cooper will not interfere with my work. But very recent events proved I cannot keep this promise anymore.”
