First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Serena Jennings Goes Bankrupt

Quentin Xavier arrived at the location designated by Claire Shaw after work.

It was a hotel.

Initially, Quentin thought Claire had just invited him to the hotel for a meal, but after he arrived, she sent him the room number via WeChat—

Room 1783, Quentin was about to knock when the door opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was, of course, Claire Shaw.

Quentin’s eyes widened instantly.

Claire was only wearing a bathrobe, looking as if she had just taken a bath, the collar opened wide, her cleavage just barely visible.

"You’re punctual, come in!"

Claire smiled warmly and beckoned Quentin in.

Quentin had never seen this side of Claire before, feeling completely uneasy as he walked into the room.

On the coffee table were some fruits and snacks. Claire poured two glasses of whiskey, handing one to Quentin.

"Relax!"

Quentin tilted his head back and downed the entire glass of whiskey in one go.

Though it was late autumn, the room’s heater was on, and after just a short while, Quentin’s forehead and neck were covered in sweat.

Claire sat right next to Quentin, clearly wearing only a bathrobe, yet deliberately crossing her legs, revealing large areas of her pale skin.

Quentin swallowed hard.

Feeling the atmosphere was just right, Claire sipped the whiskey and said:

"I’ve always wanted a chance to meet with you alone, to explain why I let you go before... I was really forced to do it, with so much pressure from investors, but honestly... I’ve always valued and appreciated you greatly..."

Saying this, Claire gently held Quentin’s hand.

Quentin’s face turned red in an instant.

"Quentin, would you be willing to come back and work?"

"What?" Quentin exclaimed in surprise.

"I heard those two inexperienced girls on Serena’s side have already started designing, yet you’re still doing odd jobs. Why waste your time there when you could be with me..."

While Claire spoke, she observed Quentin’s expression, who was visibly wavering.

"I can make you the head of design, double your previous salary, as long as you tell me..." Claire nearly leaned against Quentin, her lips with jelly lipstick close to his ear:

"What’s Serena’s design theme for this LD Jewelry Fashion Week?"

As soon as Claire finished, Quentin pushed her away forcefully.

"You’re still trying to use me!"

Quentin stood up angrily.

"Don’t leave!"

Claire embraced Quentin tightly.

"Even if I’m using you, so what? Don’t you like me? As long as I can offer you what you want, it’s a fair trade, does it matter if it’s being used?"

"What I want..."

Quentin turned to look at Claire, snorted coldly, "Can you really give me what I truly want?"

"Of course, I can."

Claire promised resolutely.

She maneuvered in front of Quentin, grabbed his hand, and guided it to her chest.

Quentin was shocked, his face turned beet red, yet he did not pull his hand back.

"Quentin, I’ve lost to Serena once before at the New Star Jewelry Design Contest, this time I must win! If you help me, there’s nothing we can’t achieve..."

As she said this, Claire released Quentin’s hand.

Quentin was visibly disappointed.

"Not tonight... As long as you help me humiliate Serena at LD, making her lose her place in the high-end jewelry industry, causing the investors to withdraw and her company to go bankrupt, I’ll naturally give myself to you..."

Claire curled her lips, dramatically tossed her hair.
