First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: An Obvious Blind Date

"What’s going on with Caleb? Didn’t you call him?"

Lilian Young urged Arthur Lockwood.

Arthur Lockwood’s face was grim, "Of course I did."

"So what did Caleb say?"

"He didn’t answer."

Hearing this, Lilian Young couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"Look at your wonderful son, he’s really spread his wings now!"

Lilian Young folded her arms, feeling indignant.

"You talk as if he’s not your son too."

Arthur Lockwood retorted coldly to Lilian Young.

The Lockwood Family, now in Country A, especially in City A, has reached the peak of its development, and it’s time to expand capital abroad.

The Linton Family in Country C has political and business connections, making them the most suitable candidates for an alliance through marriage.

If Caleb messes it up...

Arthur Lockwood clenched his fist.

At this moment, the people from the Linton Family arrived.

Aaron Linton, Jade Shaw, and naturally Wendy Linton, were among them.

However, after Chance Bell drove them to Veridia Villa, he himself had to leave first.

"Minister, are you sure you don’t need me to assign other bodyguards to accompany you?"

"No need, I’ll be fine."

Aaron Linton waved his hand at Chance Bell.

"You go ahead!"

"Well... Minister, Madam, I’ll take my leave then."

Chance Bell only greeted Aaron and Jade, then drove away.

Wendy Linton watched the black Maybach gradually fade into the distance, her eyes full of disdain.

Meanwhile, at The Lockwood Group.

Serena Jennings stood at the entrance of the archive room.

The archive room she imagined should be like the one in a school, where pushing open the door reveals a plethora of bookshelves with neatly arranged files.

However, upon opening the door to the Lockwood Group’s archive room, what met her eyes was an airtight safe.

Serena Jennings frowned and asked the archive room’s manager, "Could you help open the safe?"

"A shareholder with ten percent stock isn’t authorized to view the company’s confidential documents."

Behind her, a voice all too familiar to Serena Jennings suddenly rang out, and she turned around, unsurprised to see Caleb Lockwood.

Their eyes met, and Caleb Lockwood smiled, his naturally charming smile as captivating as ever.

However, Serena Jennings did not smile; her face was stern, and upon seeing him, she showed no sign of friendliness.

"You can leave first!"

Caleb Lockwood turned and said to the archive manager, who sensibly left immediately.

The archive room was then left with just Serena Jennings and Caleb Lockwood.

"What, feeling guilty like a thief?"

Caleb Lockwood’s sudden question indeed made Serena Jennings feel a bit guilty.

But on the surface, she feigned calmness.

"As a shareholder of The Lockwood Group, I’m just concerned about the company’s projects. What’s wrong with that?"

"Ha..."

Caleb Lockwood couldn’t help but chuckle, "Do you even believe what you’re saying?"

"I do!"

Serena Jennings answered confidently.

Just then, she saw Caleb Lockwood approach the safe, entering the password and undergoing retinal recognition.

The sturdy door of the safe finally opened.

"What confidential documents do you want? I’ll find them for you."

Caleb Lockwood turned his head, giving Serena Jennings a faint, ambiguous smile.

Serena Jennings shook her head, "No need, I actually am not that concerned about the Lockwood Group’s projects."

She turned to leave but was grabbed by the arm by Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood’s hand was cold, sticking to her skin like a piece of ice.

"President Lockwood, please conduct yourself properly."

Instead of shaking off Caleb Lockwood’s hand, Serena Jennings shot him a sharp look.

"Since you’re already here... I just want to invite you to my office for a cup of coffee."

Caleb Lockwood said casually.

Serena Jennings glanced at her arm, which was firmly held.
