First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Heartbreak

Serena Jennings had just returned to the venue when she saw Lana Xavier being grabbed by a man’s arm.

It was the first time she had seen Lana show such an expression.

Calling it infatuation might be a bit exaggerated, but not too far off.

Lana’s eyes were wide and round, staring at him unblinkingly, the surprise and affection apparent in her eyes showed she had developed a strong liking for him.

Serena was a bit surprised.

She hadn’t expected Lana to actually have a romantic encounter at this dinner party, and it was love at first sight.

"Are you alright?"

The man asked Lana, but she was still drowning in his handsome appearance. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In Serena’s view, he wasn’t exactly a top-notch hunk.

He couldn’t compare to Caleb Lockwood or Ethan White.

However, his features were delicate and had a natural charm, especially his baby face, which gave a youthful impression, and his smile seemed innocent and pure.

Serena recognized this man.

Or rather, she had seen him before.

Back in Meridia, when she accompanied Caleb Lockwood to a function as his wife, actually on the occasion to get divorced, she had met this man at the party.

"Thank you... Ah, my name is Lana Xavier. What’s your name?"

Lana stood upright, her ankle still hurt, so even if he withdrew his hand, she reluctantly held onto his arm.

"My name is Julian Xavier."

"You’re also a Xavier?" Lana’s eyes lit up, "I thought our Xavier name was rare!"

Serena stood by watching, feeling amused.

Lana was clearly just making conversation, trying to chat with him!

Julian Xavier, she remembered, was the genetics expert from CelestiMed. Now that CelestiMed had opened a branch in City A, Julian seemed to be the person in charge.

In terms of work and looks, he was impeccable; theoretically, if Lana and he truly ended up together, it would be a wonderful match.

However...

Serena frowned.

For some reason, she felt an inexplicable unease deep in her heart, a nervousness.

Lana was still eagerly chatting with Julian Xavier, while Julian had already started to show impatience.

"Lana!"

At this moment, Serena called out, and walked over.

Julian Xavier saw Serena, his gaze subtly changed, then he turned his head and asked Lana.

"Are you a friend of Chairwoman Jennings?"

"Yes, Serena and I are classmates from high school."

"I see..."

Julian smiled gently, his previous look of impatience completely disappeared.

"Chairwoman Jennings, I’m Julian Xavier, from the CelestiMed branch."

Julian handed his business card to Serena.

Serena also handed over her business card.

"Actually, we’ve met before in Meridia."

"I know... But at that time, Chairwoman Jennings was still spoken for."

Julian’s words surprised Serena.

It seemed that in Meridia, everyone knew she was Caleb Lockwood’s wife.

However, now everyone knew she had divorced Caleb.

"I never expected Chairwoman Jennings not only to be beautiful but also the renowned BYC master, possessing both beauty and talent..."

Julian’s compliment was something Serena wouldn’t take to heart; it was merely polite words for the occasion.

Beside her, Lana lowered her head somewhat disappointedly.

"Lana is my best friend, she’s now a teacher at a training school, her job’s quite good."

Serena said while pushing Lana forward, towards Julian.

"I have some things to handle over there, you two can chat slowly."

With that said, Serena turned and left.

Only when she was far away did she turn back to secretly observe Lana and Julian.

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, she felt a bit relieved.

She didn’t know much about Julian Xavier.
