Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 

Serena figured Hugh had something urgent to take care of, so she shook her head and said, “There’s nothing.” 

She had come all the way to Yellowbrook City just to see Pauline. Now that she had, there was no reason to linger there anymore. 

And so, the two of them flew back to Javerton City. 

The moment they landed, Hugh was whisked away. He had intended to drop Serena off, but she preferred to take a walk, so she turned him down. 

She had barely stepped into the subway station when her phone buzzed with Natalie’s call. 

“Ms. Jansen, we have a lunch meeting with an investor today. Originally, it was Ms. Sarah’s project, but now…” 

Was it a mess left by Sarah? 

Serena glanced at the time. She had enough to spare. “Send me the address. I’ll take the subway. Meet me at the restaurant.” 

If this investor was worth anything, she wouldn’t let them slip through her fingers. 

Following Natalie’s directions, Serena made her way to the restaurant. 

When she entered the private dining room, she was met with a group of stylishly dressed young men lounging around the table. 

A glance told her everything she needed to know. They were dressed in luxury brands from head to toe and wore watches worth at least seven figures. They were potential investors, alright. Serena was just about to introduce herself when one of them, seated at the center, let out a low whistle. 

“Are all the managers at your company this hot? With a body like that, how do you expect us to focus on business?” 

Serena studied him. He looked no older than 26, and arrogance was dripping from every inch of him. 

Since he didn’t bother with introductions, she saw no need for pleasantries either. She pulled out a chair, sat down, and smiled. 

“Appreciate the compliment. But… I don’t have any interest in guys that are built like twigs. If you’re serious about investing, at least try acting the part.” 

Just as Serena finished her words, the young men’s expressions turned sour. Did she just call them out for being scrawny? 

“Ms. jansen.” A voice came from behind. 

Serena turned and was surprised to see Cole. 

She corrected his address immediately, “Given our family ties, shouldn’t you be calling me ‘Aunt?“” 

“We’re about the same age. Let’s not get technical,” Cole said as he entered the private room. 

The young men immediately shifted, making space for him at the center. 

“I wasn’t expecting Jansen Group to send you for this deal. This seems like fate, doesn’t it?” Cole’s tone was light, with not even a hint of respect for his supposed elder. 

His gaze even carried something almost predatory. This wasn’t the first time he had looked at her like that. 

Serena’s expression turned firm. “It seems you’re not here for a business discussion, Mr. Larson. In that case, there’s no reason to continue.” 

With that, she signaled Natalie and got up to leave. 

Just then, the door to the private room burst open. Sarah stormed in with a livid expression. The moment she spotted Cole in the middle of the group, her fury intensified. Was Serena going to steal Cole from her too?
