Serena's Point of View

I had just finished buttoning my blouse when the doorbell rang.

I frowned at my reflection in the mirror.

It was too early.

Who would come at this time?

Becky?

But she usually called befor

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   68. I Thought It Was Over

    Michela's Point of ViewI had already checked my phone God knows how many times.Still...Nothing from him.No new messages.No missed calls.I laughed bitterly.The one time I truly needed his support...He wasn't there.Even from a text...Yesterday, I had practically begged Rowen to come with me."It's not like they'll allow me to bring you inside," he had said indifferently."So what's the point of me coming?"Just like that, he had shut me down.So simply.I had traveled here alone last night with a heart that felt unbearably heavy.I had stayed in a cheap hotel room with no one beside me.No one to tell me everything would be alright.I let out a slow sigh and looked at the still-closed door.The inquiry would begin soon.After so many interviews...So many investigations...So many interrogations...I had no idea what would happen today.But I knew there was very little chance the outcome would be in my favor.If...If I lost this job...Everything would be over.My reputation.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   67. Under My Protection

    Serena's Point of ViewI had just finished buttoning my blouse when the doorbell rang.I frowned at my reflection in the mirror.It was too early.Who would come at this time?Becky?But she usually called before coming over, and deliveries never arrived this early.Curious, I walked to the door.Before opening it, I looked through the peephole.The moment I saw who was standing outside, I froze.Then, the next second, I quickly unlocked the door."...Sir?"

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   66. You still love her, don't you?

    Serena's Point of View"They saw everything from the CCTV?"I repeated what I had just heard.For a moment, it was so hard to process it.Did HR really see how Karen and the other girls harassed me?Did Adrian see it too?No...Please don't let him see it.I truly didn't want him to.I didn't want him to worry about me even more than he already did."And Serena, you know what?"Becky leaned even closer, pulling me out of my thoughts."Huh?""They discovered this wasn't the first time.""What?""There was another employee from Karen's team a few months before you joined.""She resigned.""My friend in HR said they suspect Karen had been harassing her too."I slowly lowered my smoothie."Really?"I couldn't even believe it.Karen had actually made someone even leave the company?And no one did anything about that...Until now?"Anyway...""Isn't the investigation moving really fast?" I asked."Big Boss said he wanted everything concluded within a week, didn't he?""So obviously the HR d

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   65. I owe every one of you an apology.

    Adrian's Point of View"As the Human Resources Department..."The entire meeting room fell into pin-drop silence.Every member of the HR leadership team looked at me."You all should be ashamed that this many employees have suffered inside this company while you all did nothingThe HR Director lowered her eyes first."We sincerely apologize, sir.""It was our failure."Her voice was filled with obvious guilt."All the complaints we received were isolated incidents.""Some employees even withdrew their complaints before we could proceed.""And why do you think they did so?"The HR Director seemed startled by my question."Sir..." she hesitated."It was because we failed as a company to make them feel safe enough to approach us."No one said anything."At least now we should take action."The HR Director quickly nodded."Yes, sir."I looked at Greyson."How long do you think a full investigation would take?""Based on all the complaints, if we investigate everything thoroughly, it would

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   64. Most Restful Sleep.

    Adrian's Point of ViewWas that the most restful sleep I'd had in years?I honestly wondered as the car moved through the morning traffic.I had fallen asleep sitting against a wooden headboard.It was probably the most uncomfortable place I had ever slept in my entire life.I wasn't even lying down.I was just sitting.My neck ached.My back wasn't much better.Still, despite all that, I had slept like a baby.Sleep was never something I truly enjoyed.It was simply another task I had to fit into my busy schedule, yet somehow found extremely difficult to accomplish.I didn't even know when it had become like this.Maybe after my mother's death...I had consulted countless doctors, sleep specialists, and tried every possible solution.Still...Some nights, without medication, I couldn't sleep at all.Some nights were manageable with soothing music, scented candles, and every external aid imaginable.And on other nights, despite how exhausted I was and how much effort I put into fallin

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   63. I Didn't Need an Explanation

    Adrian's Point of ViewShe looks so serene...Just like her name.I thought as I looked at her peaceful sleeping face.Over the past few hours, I had been continuously checking her temperature.An hour after she fell asleep, I woke her to take another dose of paracetamol.She was so sleepy that her eyes barely stayed open.Still, she obediently took the medicine.Fortunately, her fever hadn't gone up again after that.I replaced the cooling patches every now and then, just to make sure it stayed under control.Now, watching her sleep so peacefully, I finally allowed myself to let out a quiet sigh of relief.The room was silent except for the soft rhythm of her breathing.The morning sun had begun filtering through the thin curtains, casting a gentle golden glow across the bedroom.My laptop was still open on my lap.Several documents waited for my attention.Yet...My eyes were fixed on her.The tension that had been there for days had finally disappeared from her face.No more nightm

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   45. It's him.

    Serena's Point of View"I'll drive you home."As we walked toward the elevator, Adrian said it as if it were the most normal thing in the world."Sir... you're heading back to the office, right?"I really didn't want him to waste any more of his time."Let's go. My car is in the underground parking

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   42. A glass of water.

    Serena's Point of View"Serena, what do you think?"I lifted my head from my laptop screen and looked up.Adrian was looking at me, his green eyes fully focused, waiting to hear what I had to say.We were in a meeting on Monday morning, discussing the best approach for a problem we had encountered.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   41.Half A Melted Chocolate

    Serena’s Point of ViewYou are an angel.You were one in the past.And...Even now.No matter how hard you try to hide it.I thought quietly while looking at the man sitting beside me.After that, silence settled between us again.The children continued running around, playing with their paper plan

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   33. Do you have my phone number?

    Serena’s Point of View“You don’t need to stand every time I enter.”Adrian was the first to speak, his deep voice filling the quiet room.He was wearing a dark suit, one hand resting inside his pocket, looking composed as always.Feeling embarrassed, I sat back down in my chair.A flicker of a smi
