Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 191

Serena hadn't planned on taking the project.

Seeing her cautious demeanor, Hugh felt an inexplicable frustration. Was she still afraid of him after all the times he'd helped her?

His voice dropped a notch. "Your newly acquired Amber Group perfectly fits this funding project. You should give it a shot."

"Wouldn't that be pulling strings?" Serena asked in a low voice.

She wanted the project for Amber Group.

But personally, Hugh was her strong ally. She didn't want to owe him too much. After all, she might not be able to repay it all in the future.

Hugh shook his head without hesitation.

"No. Everything's done fair and square. You would've heard about this sooner or later. Instead of hesitating because of complicated connections, I'm giving you a direct shot."

He made it sound so casual.

But Serena understood how crucial timing was.

The project hadn't been fully announced yet. But Zach had already come running to her, trying to secure a backdoor deal. That alone showed how intense the competition would be.

If she could get the information earlier, she could prepare sooner. Since it was fair and impartial, she wouldn't feel burdened.

"I'd like to try, but I need to review the group's operations first. Can you give me some time?"

"Fair competition. As long as it's before the deadline, do as you please," Hugh answered nonchalantly.

He didn't trust Amber Group, but he trusted Serena.

Serena wasn't aware of his thoughts. She thanked him sincerely before returning home.

As soon as she set down her cat, it darted away and curled up in a corner to observe her at work. Serena reviewed the project timeline carefully.
