Chapter 37: Caught in the Act

Emma and Julia were discussing the details of their collaboration while Serena sat beside them, diligently taking notes. Suddenly, Julia looked up at her and said, “Mr. Humphery is hoping that the Justice Law Office can assign a lawyer to work at Future Better Technology Company on a regular basis, to facilitate communication between the two. sides. Lawyer Woodsen has experience in corporate legal affairs and is good at internal communication, so can Emma arrange for Lawyer Woodsen to come to Future Better Technology Company?”

Serena was taken aback. Emma didn’t think much about it and simply answered yes, because Serena had no other projects to allocate and it would indeed be convenient for both sides to have a resident lawyer at Future Better Technology Company.

The two sides continued to discuss some details, and as lawyers, they drew up the contract on the spot and signed it. This project for Future Better Technology Company was finally settled.

Although it was not an exciting day, Serena had her first experience and learned a lot. Her brain was still in an excited state when she returned home that night.

In a good mood, she felt everyone was pleasant to see. When she saw Penn at home, she felt he was even more handsome and compelling than before.

Penn rubbed her hair and smiled, “Are you in such a good mood?”

Serena looked up at him and asked, “Did you already decide to choose Emma as our partner?”

“No, this was a decision made jointly by several departments today,” he denied.

“Then, was it your idea to have me stationed at Future Better Technology Company?”

“No, that was Julia’s decision,” he denied again.

As they talked, she didn’t know when he had already put his arms around her waist, and the two of them were face–to- face, talking intimately. When he lowered his head to speak, his expression was gentle like water.

“I thought Julia would choose Nina, who is better than me at communication.”

“You’re also great,” Serena replied.

“Penn, you are the most impartial and emotionless person I have ever met. Throughout this project, you refused to help me, even a little bit.”

“Business is business, and personal feelings are personal. This is a matter of principle. If your law firm doesn’t have the capability to take on this project, and I give you special treatment, the subsequent cooperation will be a loss for both sides, isn’t it?”

He made some sense. Serena thought, but couldn’t he gave

a little bit of advice or help occasionally without violating his principles? Who’s as tight–lipped as he was?

Unable to help herself, she remarked, “Penn, with your principles, you’ll never win over a girl. You’re destined to end up alone.”

Penn looked down at her, then after a long pause, asked, “If I didn’t have principles, would that help me win someone over?”

He asked earnestly, and Serena thought carefully about the question before answering, “It depends on the person, I suppose.”

“What about you?” Penn tightened his hand around her waist and looked at her deeply with his dark eyes.

Serena was momentarily confused. Did she preferred someone with principles or without? She had never thought about the question before, and her earlier comment was just a joke. She rarely thought about love and had never even considered her future partner, as Blair had said, she was carefree in this regard.

But in life, wasn’t it most important to work hard, earn money, and take care of yourself as much as possible?

Penn sighed almost imperceptibly and moved his other hand up to hold her head, kissing her deeply and passionately, with a hint of dominance.

Serena responded, and soon they had settled into a comfortable rhythm with each other. Until late at night,

Serena felt half–asleep and unsure if she was dreaming or if

Blair had come to her house and was knocking on the bedroom door.

She told herself to get up and open the door for Blair, but despite being fully conscious, she couldn’t move her body.

“Go back to sleep,” a gentle voice whispered in her ear, patting her back lightly. Was it a dream? She drifted off again.

Blair had a few drinks with friends that night and came over to congratulate Serena. But, after ringing the doorbell twice with no answer, she used the key they had exchanged in case of emergency to let herself in. She drank too much and suddenly couldn’t remember why she was looking for Serena when she got to the living room.

“Serena…Serena…” She called a few times, and even knocked on the bedroom door, which was unexpectedly locked. As the alcohol took effect, she sobbed and wailed at the door.

“Serena, don’t you want me anymore?”

“Open the door, I want to sleep with you.

“Are you hiding a man inside?”

After a while with no response, she collapsed at the door, sobbing and rambling on about something incoherently. Her drinking capacity was really something.

Unfortunately, Serena had no ulterior motives today and had exercised excessively before bed, so she slept soundly and never came out to open the door. Blair also grew tired and gradually fell asleep at the door, feeling like the door had

opened and she was being pulled onto the sofa by a powerful force. Although the movements were not rough, they were not gentle either.

She thought it was a dream until she woke up thirsty the next day and realized that she had indeed slept on the sofa.

She was the kind of person who could get drunk but still retain her memories. Last night, in the living room, she seemed to have seen some messy clothes on the floor? And her little Serena had unusually locked the bedroom door. She didn’t think too much about it when she was drunk last night, but now that she was sober, she seemed to smell the scent of “infidelity.” She smiled flirtatiously and stared at the bedroom door, wanting to see which bastard had the nerve to take her little Serena.

She was very excited, like a legitimate wife catching a mistress in the act with undeniable evidence.

She draped the blanket that Serena had left on the sofa over herself, with dishevelled hair and legs crossed, facing the master bedroom door like a meditation pose.

There were footsteps coming towards the door from inside the bedroom.

“Humph, none of you will be able to escape from my grasp today.” She thought smugly.

Until the bedroom door opened and a bright light shone out, Penn walked out against the light in casual clothes, tall, lazy, and incredibly handsome…

Blair, who had planned to tease and scold the man, was

shocked at the sight of Penn. She stared with her eyes wide open and her mouth agape, as if she had suffered a ten- level stroke, unable to say a word.

Stiff, her body stiffened, and her eyes stiffly watched Penn walk out of the bedroom door against the light, casually glancing at her on the sofa, then ignoring her and heading to the kitchen.

Compared to Penn’s cold indifference, Serena was

completely different when she came out right after him.

Her shock was no less than Blair’s.

Blair finally regained her senses and exclaimed in disbelief.

“Oh my god…a bunch of curses.

”

Serena blushed to the roots of her ears, caught red–handed by Blair, as if she had been caught in an early romance by her parents.
