Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 14

“It’s not what you think,” It was Bryan who spoke and met Justin’s inquiring eyes. His voice cold and detached.

“And what am I thinking, huh?” Justin’s eyes challenged Bryan’s. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Serene felt trapped between two boulders about to clash on each other.

“Mr. Rain,” Serene finally found her voice. “Mr. Cooper and I knew each other from when I was in college. We have not seen each other for quite some time. Let me assure you that there is nothing going on between the two of us,” she explained in a single breath.

She’s not sure if the person in front of her believed her because the moment she opened her mouth to explain, the darker his expression became. “I’ll go ahead first, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Rain,” with that she hurried forward to the direction where she parked her car, not even waiting for either of them to respond.

Not daring to look back, she quickened her pace. She did not want to be in this place any longer. “I don’t want to be involved in your lover's quarrel,” she muttered under her breath.

The following day, Serene had summoned all her strength to pull herself out of the bed and go to work. This is the first time in the two years she’s been with Rain International that she felt like dragging herself to work. She did not want to see Bryan. “I am just a small first level leader. My work does not need direct interaction with him and his husband” she repeated this several times like a mantra.

At work, Serene exerted extra effort in making sure that everything went smoothly. Since she made quite a blunder these past days and it has already upset her superior. She wanted to make sure that she redeemed herself today.

Everything was working well until towards the end of the day when she got suddenly summoned to go up to the CEO’s office.

“What is it this time?” she quietly asked under her breath.

While in the elevator, her heart raced. Recalling the previous day’s occurrence, she became anxious. She left conference room so suddenly she must have left a negative impression.

Caught with her internal turmoil, the chime of the elevator showing that she arrived at her designated floor startled her.
