Serena’s POV“Oh my God, it feels like it has been forever since we just sat down and had a proper drink,” Chloe groaned as she slid a tall, frosted glass across the table toward me.The bar was warm and inviting, filled with the quiet hum of conversation, soft jazz drifting through the room, and the golden glow of the pendant lights overhead.It was the complete opposite of the afternoon I’d just had in the cold walls of The Paragon.“Since your schedule became completely insane, I swear I was starting to forget what you looked like outside of a business suit.
