Broken Engagement His Uncle's Bride (Serena and Trevor) novel Chapter 109

Sebastian sat back on the couch and closed his eyes. Her voice echoed in his mind again and again.

Seb.

It would be even better if she said it straight to his face next time.

The next morning, Serena stepped into Credence Electronics and found Reno waiting with a fake, eager grin.

“Ms. Steele, we just got the court’s decision on that lawsuit. Turns out, we are not responsible for paying that invoice. Take a look.”

Serena took the court document and flipped straight to the last page. It matched exactly what she had expected.

Of course, she knew Reno was not telling the truth. There was no way that ruling had just come in yesterday.

“Thanks, Reno.”

Reno had already heard that Nancy got fired. That was when it clicked for him–he had messed with the wrong woman.

He had only intended to stir up a little trouble and do the Levine Group a favor.

He never imagined she was connected to someone even more powerful.

That someone was Daniel Hart. And once that name came up, no one here dared to mess with her again.

“Ms. Steele, I made a reservation at Luna Hall this afternoon. Would you like to join me for lunch?”

Serena kept her smile polite. “I will have to pass, Reno. I need to get back to the firm. But I appreciate the invitation.”

Someone working in due diligence should not be going out for meals with the other side

anyway.

And after Reno’s attitude yesterday, she had no desire to pretend she was happy to be around

him.

She spent her whole afternoon finishing the detailed report on Credence Electronics and sent it to Eugene. Then she stretched, realizing it was already six o’clock.

She started packing up to leave.

Right then, her phone buzzed. Lucinda had just sent her a pin drop.

A moment later, her best friend’s call popped up

“Rena! Come help me pick out an outfit. I am going to that fashion show at Lutecia tomorrow!”

Serena felt a little jealous. “Hunting for ideas again?”

“Yes! I have not drawn a thing in three months. Everything looks boring. I am hoping this show lights something up.”

Lucinda worked as an independent designer. Her studio only put out one piece a month, if that. Sometimes she went months without releasing anything. It all depended on her mood.

That was why she was always flying somewhere new, chasing inspiration.

Serena admired how freely she lived, while Lucinda admired how steady and focused Serena was, working toward her goals every day.

They could not have been more opposite. But they still each other’s closest friend.

Inside a high–end boutique, Lucinda looked up and spotted her. “Rena! Over here.”

Serena walked over. “Anything catch your eye yet?”

Lucinda shook her head. “Nothing so far.”

She turned to the associate nearby. “Is this your full new release?”

“Yes, Ms. Levine. Another shipment is coming in tomorrow. Would you like us to send it to the Levine Residence?”

Lucinda held a premium membership here. They always sent the latest collections to her home so she could pick before anyone else.

She shook her head. “That won’t be necessary. I’m flying out tomorrow.

“Rena, do you see anything you like?”
