Lily let out a snicker. “Wait until you hear this-gossip number two is even hotter. Ms. Farlane and Mr. Lopez aren’t together anymore-they’ve divorced! And on top of that, Ms. Farlane quit her job!
“After that, she tried to talk to Boss, hoping to patch things up and get back together, but he refused. That day almost caused Ms. Dempsey to misread the situation. Honestly, it was my first time seeing Boss sweet-talk his girlfriend.”
Serena arched a brow, surprised by all the shocking turns that had happened in just the year she’d been away.
“I didn’t notice Ms. Dempsey earlier,” she said.
“She went out of town for a hearing. She should be back sometime next week.”
Serena nodded silently, wrapping up her day. Eugene mentioned he would take her out for a welcome dinner after work.

His eyelids flickered weakly. A faint glimmer appeared in his eyes, almost as if he were saying, You’re here.
Serena kept her expression calm and emotionless. She pulled up a chair beside him and stared at the monitor, noting how his heartbeats were slowing.
“Dad, do you regret it? If you hadn’t been so distant, if you’d stayed loyal to Mom, if you hadn’t played favorites and treated us unfairly, maybe none of this would have happened.”
A bitter laugh escaped her lips. “Life doesn’t give second chances.”
A single tear rolled down Donald’s face. His heartbeat then leveled out into a flat line.
He had no energy left to speak a word before it stopped.
Serena, overwhelmed by a mix of grief and relief, hit the call button. “Nurse, my dad’s heart just stopped.”
