First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: New Romance Revealed

Rumors started circulating within Serena Jennings’s own PO department, with colleagues claiming that the new craft was initially thought up by Claire Shaw, and Serena plagiarized Claire’s ideas.

It’s a lie to say Serena isn’t bothered by this.

But the rumors have already formed and are spreading vividly, and she can’t explain it to everyone she meets. Even after explaining, people wouldn’t believe her and think she’s making it worse.

As the saying goes, prejudice in one’s heart is like a mountain; no matter how hard you try, you can’t move it.

Serena knows very well that quite a few colleagues in the company didn’t like her right from the start.

Still, the PO series is selling well, and she hasn’t let Peter down. Serena feels no guilt herself.

Today, Serena is working overtime again.

The big IP modern urban fashion drama "Surprise Life," invested by Starlight Media, requires designing several sets of original jewelry. Seeing the success of the PO series, they proactively partnered with FY, appointing Serena to take charge of this major project.

Serena worked overtime until after 8 p.m. When she left FY, it was already pitch black outside.

Beep beep!

A car honked at her from the roadside.

This car was the latest Ferrari sports model, very eye-catching, with classic and dazzling racing red metallic paint that makes people want to take another look.

Serena couldn’t recall anyone she knew driving such a car.

Caleb Lockwood prefers luxury cars with a strong business feel rather than sports models.

Thinking the person wasn’t Caleb, Serena cautiously approached the car.

"Serena, it’s me."

The top was open, and Serena saw Justin Nash sitting inside the car.

Justin Nash looked the same as ever, wearing a comfortable sports outfit, with a fresh and bright expression and a radiant smile, looking every bit like a college student just stepping into the world—

totally out of place with this car.

Serena froze, called up into the car by Justin Nash.

Justin spoke that he was about to graduate and already found a new job with a big company, and he just bought this car.

Justin’s words were vague, and Serena didn’t inquire further.

However, in Serena’s impression, it’s unlikely that even a big company would offer a very high salary to fresh graduates.

The dinner was Justin Nash’s treat, and after finishing the meal, Serena proactively suggested going shopping at the mall with Justin, much to his surprise.

"You’re now a member of society and have joined a big company, so you should have a good suit. I’ll buy you one as a congratulatory gift for graduating and securing a good job."

"How could I accept, you shouldn’t spend so much."

Seeing Justin’s face turn red, Serena couldn’t help but laugh.

In the mall, there’s a suit shop Serena is quite familiar with, the suit quality is high there, having visited a few times previously.

Back then, every visit was to pick out clothing for Caleb Lockwood.

I remember just after getting married, Serena couldn’t help but want to buy new clothes for Caleb.

With a handsome, wealthy husband who loved her, Serena felt very proud and focused on being a good wife who supports her husband.

But the store specializes in bespoke tailoring, and each time Serena messaged Caleb, hoping he’d visit after work to get measured and try on clothes.

Every time Caleb would make excuses.

If it wasn’t company matters, it was a sudden business trip, or social engagements.

Not willing to give up, Serena bought several non-custom versions, matching Caleb’s size. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Yet, once home they were either criticized by Caleb for the tailoring or despised for the material.

Essentially, there was complaint about everything.

After hitting obstacles a few times, Serena gradually stopped buying, and the suits she did purchase still gather dust in the wardrobe today, never worn by Caleb.

Originally, Justin Nash didn’t want Serena to spend so much, even though her salary at FY was decent. But since she was quarreling with Caleb about the divorce, there were many future expenses ahead.

Nonetheless, when Serena proactively offered to gift him a high-end suit, he was so happy he could nearly shed tears of joy.

They already reached the door of the suit shop, but then Justin Nash noticed Serena hesitated to enter.

Serena was lost in thought.

Her eyes were glued to the suits inside the store but her gaze went beyond the suits.

Justin Nash observed Serena’s face.

Serena was truly beautiful, the most beautiful person he’d ever seen.
