First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Deceiving Her

In fact, she also had hidden motives, wanting to see if she could get some useful information about FZZL from Julian Xavier’s mouth.

Serena Jennings called the waiter first and calmly ordered a cup of coffee, then turned to Julian Xavier and said:

"Because I have both business and personal matters to discuss with you... such as... Lana."

Julian Xavier lifted his eyes slightly and smiled, "It seems that not only are you half my leader in the project, but whether or not I can marry Lana may also depend on your expression."

Hearing Julian Xavier mention "marry," Serena was a bit surprised, not expecting Julian and Lana Xavier to have progressed so quickly.

"I only have Lana as a close friend, so her future happiness, I naturally have to help her keep an eye on."

"Hmm, you’re right..." Julian Xavier supported his chin with his hands, squinting and smiling, "Then to leave a good impression on you, tell me, what do you want to know about the FZZL project?"

"Not much, you don’t need to tell me any top secrets, I just want to know how this system operates, the current challenges it’s facing, and how much profit it can bring to us shareholders after launch."

Serena spoke in a businesslike manner, flawless, seemingly without any ulterior motives.

Julian Xavier naturally revealed everything straightforwardly.

However, while explaining the FZZL project to Serena, one of his hands was under the table, constantly tapping on his phone.

Outside, the sky gradually darkened; neon lights began to glow, with cars bustling by.

Lana, excited, arrived at Cat Eye Café. As soon as she approached, she saw Serena sitting by the window.

Sitting opposite Serena was Julian Xavier.

"Oh?!"

Lana’s eyes widened.

Tonight was rare, as Julian had actively invited her out. She had dressed up meticulously, expecting to spend a sweet evening alone with Julian.

But who could have thought that Serena would beat her to it?

"No, no, no..."

Lana shook her head forcefully.

Serena and Julian Xavier didn’t have much of an overlap, perhaps she misunderstood something.

If she just walked in and asked clearly, the misunderstanding would naturally be resolved.

That’s what Lana thought, but her feet wouldn’t move.

She didn’t know why she hesitated about whether to go in right now.

Her heart felt restless, and before she made a decision, Serena had already walked out accompanied by Julian Xavier.

Instinctively, Lana pressed herself against the wall, hiding, unclear why she was acting guilty as a thief.

After Serena left, Julian stood at the store entrance, pretending he had just seen Lana.

"Lana? Why are you standing here?"

"Ah... I... I..."

Lana stammered.

"Did you just arrive?"

"Mm..."

"So did I."

"Huh?"

Lana’s eyes widened.

Julian had clearly been sitting in the shop with Serena for quite a while.

So, Julian was... lying to her?

Lana shook her head.

She shouldn’t think like this about Julian; he might have intentionally not mentioned Serena to avoid misunderstanding.

However...

Lana followed Julian inside.

The more he hid, the more uncomfortable she felt.

They simply had a cup of coffee and ate some sweet treats as Lana’s doubts gradually dissipated.

She originally thought it was already late, and their date was over, but Julian took her to a hotel.

"Wait a minute..."

Lana stood at the hotel entrance, her face flushed.

"Let me confirm, we’re... dating, right?"

"In high school, I was closest to Serena and Ethan White..." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
