Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 218

Julian said, “I’m not too concerned about that. If you’re willing to give us a try, I think we’d get along really wall, Ms. Gray

Serena hadn’t expected him to be so accepting, especially after what she had just said. As exasperated as she fett, she also had is arimit she was starting to understand the kind of person he was.

She gently steered the conversation away. “Sorry, the ceremony should be starting soon. Let’s go take a look

Julian understood what she meant but didn’t press her. He simply nodded and followed her downstairs.

The wedding had been planned on a grand scale. When Kristy walked out to the sound of the wedding march, glowing in her white dress, Sarana couldn’t help feeling a little wistful.

But seeing her best friend so happy and radiant filled Serena with a quiet sense of contentment.

The ceremony went off without a hitch, and once everyone made their way backstage, Serena found herself next to Julian again.

Kristy leaned in from the side, waggling her eyebrows. “Why don’t you two exchange numbers? You never know when that might come in handy”

Serena didn’t want to turn her down, and figured that even if they added each other now, they probably wouldn’t stay in touch after this anyway. So, she nodded. “Here is my number, Mr. Cooper.”

After she got home, Julian messaged her not long after, saying he would like to take her out for dinner.

Serena sat on the couch, rubbing her temples. She hadn’t expected him to be this persistent.

She replied: [Sorry, Mr. Cooper. Things have been pretty hectic at work lately, so I might not have time to go out for dinner anytime soon.[

Well, it wasn’t entirely a lie.

Julian, ever considerate, said he understood.

Seeing his response, Serena finally let out a quiet breath of relief. But the next day, she spotted him downstairs from her office, holding a bouquet of flowers and even carrying breakfast in his hands.

Julian approached her and said, “Hello, Ms. Gray. I brought you a healthy breakfast. No matter how busy work gets, you still need to take care of yourself

Don’t overwork.”

Serena rubbed her temples, her patience wearing thin. It really wasn’t the time for this kind of concern.

She hadn’t expected Julian to be this persistent. She thought she had already made herself clear,

It was rush hour, and plenty of people had witnessed the scene outside the building, including several of Serena’s colleagues from the design

department.

Julian insisted she take what he brought before he’d leave. Left with no choice, she finally accepted the flowers and the breakfast, reminding him to be

careful on his way back.

As soon as Serena stepped into the design department, a few coworkers immediately surrounded her.

One of them asked, “Was that cute guy downstairs your boyfriend, Serena? That was so romantic!”

Another chimed in, “Yeah, I recognize that breakfast set. The shop is at least a twenty–minute drive from here, and it’s packed in the mornings. He must really care about you.”

Serena had already felt a bit embarrassed, and now hearing how hard it was to get the breakfast only made her more uncomfortable. Holding it felt like she was carrying a live grenade.

She quickly explained that she and Julian were just friends, not a couple, though the girls around her clearly weren’t Buying (E.

One of them teased, “So you’re still in the getting to know each other phase, huh? You should go for it, Serena. He seems like a good guys

Serena wanted to say she didn’t feel that way at all and had no such intentions. But discussing her personal life in front of everyone felt a lique to

awkward.

So, she brushed it off with a vague response and returned to her desk with a growing headache.
