Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 333

Chandler beamed with pride. Was there a more considerate assistant in the world?

Serena could vaguely sense something was off. However, Chandler's smug smile was too convincing, and the dark circles under Hugh's eyes didn't seem fake either.

"Well, I'll gladly accept the offer."

Since this was a win-win for Hugh, she didn't refuse again. Without even flipping through the documents, she signed her name swiftly.

Just as she capped the pen, Hugh's voice came through.

"Do you always sign contracts without reading them?"

Hugh frowned. He couldn't help worrying that she might get taken advantage of like this.

The chill in his voice came more from surprise and confusion rather than reproach.

Serena blinked, just as puzzled.

"Of course I read other contracts. But weren't these projects from you? I trust you."

The cold expression on Hugh's face faltered with just a few simple words and the soft click of her pen meeting the table. That faint noise landed right on Hugh's heart, sending ripples all through his chest.

To Serena, it was him that made all the difference.

He blurted out almost instinctively, "Want to grab dinner together?"

A list of suitable restaurants immediately sorted itself in his mind, filtering through to find the ones Serena liked best.

She smiled. "Sure. But since my dear ally just handed me this mountain of projects, tonight's dinner is on me."

The afternoon sun cast an even glow across both of their faces, almost too warm. It nudged them toward somewhere shaded for a private time.

Serena chose a nearby private restaurant. Hugh went along without a word, leaving Chandler to collect the stack of documents from the table.
