He Finally Noticed Me Right When I Was Leaving novel Chapter 169

Pierce stared at Seraphina's apathetic profile, the heavy gloom in his chest thickening into a suffocating weight, yet he was completely powerless to change it.

He stood up and said, "I'm heading to work. Rest well at home. If you need anything, just tell the maids."

She didn't respond. Her eyes remained glued to the TV, acting as if she hadn't heard a single word.

Seeing her like this, Pierce sighed in defeat, turned on his heel, and drove straight to the office.

For the past few days, a dark cloud had hung over him.

He spent the entire morning in meetings, completely disinterested and detached.

During the lunch break, Felix knocked and entered. "Mr. Prescott, what would you like for lunch?"

"What did Seraphina have?" Pierce asked.

"The chef prepared a chicken and vegetable soup."

"Did she eat it?"

"She had some, but not much."

Pierce exhaled, feeling a slight sense of relief. "As long as she ate something."

He looked at Felix. "Get me the same thing."

"Understood, I'll go buy it right away," Felix nodded.

Pierce stood up, intending to head to the rooftop for a cigarette.

As he passed the breakroom, he noticed a group of female employees gathered around a table. They were holding colorful little plastic beads and pegboards.

They were huddled together, enthusiastically working on crafting bead kits, their faces lit up with bright smiles. The lively chatter and laughter filled the air as they showed off their designs.

Pierce stopped in his tracks, his eyes lingering on the tiny, vibrant beads.

An idea sparked. Without lingering any longer, he strode straight back to his office and ran a quick internet search.
