First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Going Forceful

Caleb Lockwood poked his head out from the driver’s seat.

"Get in, I’ll take you to lunch."

Serena Jennings glanced at Caleb Lockwood.

"I have a car, thanks."

"Your tire is punctured."

"What?"

Caleb Lockwood’s words made Serena Jennings widen her eyes.

Ahead was her white BMW 3 Series; she went over to check it, and the tire was indeed punctured.

At this time, Caleb Lockwood got out of the car and came to her side.

"See, I’m here just in time, aren’t I?"

The voice lingering in her ears was pleasant, magnetic, but Serena Jennings rolled her eyes hard.

"Caleb Lockwood, are you childish or what?"

Seeing Serena Jennings questioning him fiercely with her arms crossed, Caleb Lockwood played innocent.

"You’ve misunderstood me; I didn’t puncture the tire."

He had someone puncture it.

Serena Jennings looked at Caleb Lockwood skeptically and took out her phone from her bag.

"Ethan White is at a government meeting, Ian Blackwood is on a business trip, Patrick Rhodes has been arranged by his father to intern at their family resort... Peter, I guess you wouldn’t be interested in him... As for Justin Nash, he’s getting married next month to Spectra Tech’s CEO’s granddaughter."

Serena Jennings: ...

If Caleb Lockwood put this kind of effort into running the company, surely the company’s stock would rebound faster.

Serena Jennings grinned and waved the phone in her hand at Caleb Lockwood.

"I called a ride, okay!"

The composure on Caleb Lockwood’s face instantly changed; as Serena Jennings called a ride, he also took out his phone and called Mr. Miller.

"President Lockwood..."

"I want to acquire the ride-hailing company, now."

"...What?"

This directive left Mr. Miller dumbfounded.

Serena Jennings immediately grabbed Caleb Lockwood’s phone and told Mr. Miller on the other end:

"There is no such acquisition plan, don’t listen to Caleb Lockwood’s nonsense."

The voice from Serena Jennings on the receiver immediately made Mr. Miller realize something.

It seemed Caleb Lockwood came to pick someone up but failed, seeing the ride-hailing company as an obstacle.

"So should we acquire it or not?"

Sitting at his workstation, Mr. Miller pondered, stroking his chin.

As Caleb Lockwood’s assistant, considering Caleb Lockwood’s thoughts, maybe it would be more convenient to acquire it?

Meanwhile, Serena Jennings returned the phone to Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood’s eyes were smiling.

"You’re becoming more and more like the mistress of The Lockwood Group."

"I’m now also the largest shareholder of The Lockwood Group, so naturally, I won’t let you mess around."

Seeing Serena Jennings use the word "also," Caleb Lockwood’s handsome face showed a broader smile.

"Looks like you’ve accepted the fact that we’re still husband and wife."

When Caleb Lockwood mentioned this, Serena Jennings felt her anger surge.

Is this something she can accept or not?

Even if she doesn’t accept, legally she and Caleb Lockwood are still spouses.

The shares she acquired during the marriage are joint marital property.

Seeing the intense resentment towards him in Serena Jennings’ eyes, Caleb Lockwood felt a turmoil of emotions.

"I just wanted to have lunch with you... Can’t you give me even such a chance?"

Serena Jennings saw Caleb Lockwood lower his eyes, looking pitiful; anyone would think she bullied Caleb Lockwood!

Serena Jennings sighed.

"Caleb Lockwood, stop doing these pointless things... Even if I agree to have lunch with you, it won’t change my mind about wanting a divorce from you."

"Since your thoughts can’t change no matter what, if I get you to have lunch with me more, then I profit."

Caleb Lockwood’s reasoning made Serena Jennings laugh in exasperation.
