First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Giving a Ring

One Night Drunk is a rather inconspicuous small bar, but it operates on a membership basis.

Serena Jennings wasn’t a member. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Peter already standing at the bar entrance waiting for her.

"Have you been waiting long?" Serena walked up to Peter.

"No, it’s just perfect timing."

Peter led Serena into the bar and sat down in a booth.

The drinks were already ordered by Peter, and he handed Serena a margarita.

While drinking, Serena apologized to Peter, "I’m really sorry about today, such a nice meal got ruined. I’ll treat you to another one someday."

"Alright, sounds good!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Peter accepting Serena’s apology without being polite.

"Did Caleb Lockwood find you... to talk about the divorce?"

Peter asked casually, but sitting next to him, Serena could sense his cautiousness.

Serena felt that Peter had invited her for drinks here probably just to ask about this.

"Yes."

Serena nodded.

Regarding the divorce, she actually didn’t want to talk much.

But she could tell Peter seemed very curious.

"Did he make it difficult for you?" Peter asked with concern.

"No, he used to make things difficult, but not this time." Serena shook her head, squeezing out a bitter smile, "Not only did he not make it difficult, but he also wants to give me compensation of 80 million!"

Serena initially thought 80 million was already a lot, and Peter would be surprised upon hearing it. However, Peter replied calmly, "Yes, he should give it... even if the unit was changed to a billion, I wouldn’t think it’s too much."

Serena was speechless.

She didn’t consider herself worth that much money.

Especially to Caleb Lockwood.

"Since he didn’t make it difficult for you and you’re okay with the money, what are you still worried about?"

Serena was startled, looking at Peter in surprise.

Did she really look so worried?

Originally, to Serena, Peter was just a work partner, like a colleague or boss.

Even though they’ve known each other for a long time, they couldn’t be considered close friends.

Serena never thought she’d have a day of getting so close to Peter.

Without concealment, she straightforwardly told Peter about Caleb Lockwood transferring 10% of the Lockwood Group shares to her in the divorce agreement.

Peter was dumbfounded and laughed.

"Do you know how many people are desperate to get Lockwood Group’s shares!"

"But I really don’t want it."

"Just take it, you’re not losing anything."

Serena understood what Peter meant, but she always felt that with the shares involved, she and Caleb Lockwood would still have to be colleagues even after the divorce.

The more she thought about it, the more troubled she felt. She tilted her head back and drank the margarita in her glass all at once.

Sitting next to her, Peter propped his chin with one hand, staring intently at Serena. His emotions were hard to hide.

"Serena..."

When Serena looked over, Peter quickly withdrew his gaze.

He took out a gift box from his pants pocket and handed it to Serena.

"This... I wanted to give it to you during dinner."

"I can’t accept without a reason..." Serena wanted to refuse, but Peter said:

"Just a congratulatory gift, to celebrate your stamp design’s great success at the exchange meeting."

Since Peter put it like that, Serena couldn’t refuse.
