Lana, always eager to lend a hand, immediately spoke up and said she’d be more than happy to help.

Craig suggested, “Why don’t we exchange numbers, Lana? If we get the chance, we can talk more about design together.”

Watching the two of them exchange numbers so quickly, Serena just couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, probably because of what Keith had said earlier. Now, the situation just didn’t sit right with her.

But of course, she couldn’t say anything with Craig sitting right there.

For the next while, Craig carried on the conversation with ease. Thanks to Lana’s bubbly energy, the whole vibe stayed light and genuinely pleasant.

Serena wasn’t the type to voice her opinions much anyway, so her quietness didn’t strike anyone as unusual.

“I really enjoyed our conversation today. If we get the chance, let’s meet up again sometime,” Craig said.

He glanced at the time, then added with a touch of regret, “I’d love to keep chatting with you two lovely ladies, but I have some work to take care of, so I’ll have to excuse myself.”

“Mr. Arellano, don’t let us keep you. We’ll catch up next time when you’re free,” Lana said with a bright smile.

Craig turned his gaze to Serena. Unlike Lana’s excitement, Serena wasn’t as warm as she’d been at the start. However, he didn’t mind at all.

“Alright, looking forward to meeting you again,” he said with a smile.

The moment Craig walked away, Lana was practically buzzing with excitement. She spun around and grabbed Serena’s hand.

Lana sighed, “He’s got such a great personality, and he’s so knowledgeable and charming when he talks. Oh my, he’s totally my dream guy. Sure, he’s a bit older than me, but still…”

“Wake up.” Serena cut Lana off. “Honestly, I just feel like it’s a little too much to be this enthusiastic at a first meeting. Maybe I’m just overthinking things, though.”

Lana hesitated for a moment and wondered, ‘Isn’t it just because Craig is such a great guy that we got along so well right from the start?‘

Lana usually listened to Serena, but this time, she honestly didn’t feel anything strange. So Lana couldn’t help but say, “Seri, are you overthinking this?”

Serena remembered how she’d said the exact same thing to Keith the night before. She couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

She reptted, “Maybe, but it doesn’t hurt to be a little careful.”

Lana agreed with Serena’s opinion and nodded.

They got back to the studio, and Serena could tell that Lana was in an even better mood.

For a while now, Lana had seemed a bit down, probably because she was still caught up in her last relationship. But Serena had no idea what had actually happened between them.

So even if Serena wanted to comfort Lana, she really didn’t know where to start.

If it had been anyone else, Serena would’ve been happy to see Lana moving on. But Craig? Serena wasn’t sure if he was just an even bigger trap waiting.

At that thought, Serena couldn’t help but sigh.

Still, Lana was smart enough not to let herself get into real trouble, so Serena decided to just let it go. Besides, Craig probably wouldn’t be in touch with

them much in the future anyway.

That was what Serena kept telling herself, but to her surprise, the very next day at lunch break, she caught Lana slinging her bag over her shoulder, clearly trying to slip out unnoticed.

“Lana, where are you going?” Serena called out.

Usually, during lunch, Lana would either stay in the office working on her drafts or drag Serena out to grab a bite together–she never went out on her

own.

Lana gave a cough upon hearing Serena’s question.

She replied, “It’s Craig. He asked me to join him for some sketching. Since I’m free this afternoon, I figured why not.”
