First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Held in Caleb Lockwood’s Palm

Serena Jennings immediately reached out to Peter after leaving the meeting room.

She wasn’t hoping for Peter to prove anything; she was worried that Claire Shaw might copy her design and cause losses to FY.

However, Peter reassured her.

It was later that she learned Peter had registered the design patent with the intellectual property department upon receiving her draft, which led to The Lockwood Group urgently recalling the new jewelry that had entered the market.

Today, Caleb Lockwood took a day off.

Serena could see the empty office of the president as soon as she looked up.

As Caleb Lockwood’s secretary, she was very clear on his schedule every day.

Including today.

So she knew Caleb had gone to accompany Claire Shaw on a yacht for sea fishing.

For this, he canceled all meetings and business.

Serena still remembers that when she was hospitalized due to miscarriage, Caleb was also on a fishing vacation with Claire and didn’t visit her at all.

"Do you guys think President Lockwood is married to Claire?"

Christine Warren was gossiping with colleagues by the coffee maker.

"They probably aren’t yet! Feels like they’re still in the pursuit phase?"

"Probably almost there, otherwise why would LC’s new model be recalled without President Lockwood saying anything or holding Claire accountable!"

"Not only did he not blame her, I heard from friends in the HR department that President Lockwood plans to give Claire a raise!"

"Wow... That’s called being favored and fearless."

Serena listened nearby, sipping her cold coffee.

If it was her causing The Lockwood Group to recall the new product this time, Caleb might have handled it differently.

Today she didn’t have to work overtime, so after work, Serena wandered through the supermarket alone, unconsciously heading to the refrigerated section.

A yogurt brand that was quite niche caught her eye.

There are countless yogurts, and Serena thinks they all taste pretty similar, but Caleb preferred only this one.

Previously, to buy this brand of yogurt for Caleb, she had to run to several supermarkets every day.

In an inexplicable urge, Serena reached out her hand and grabbed a carton of yogurt, just as another hand clasped hers.

Serena turned her head, and her gaze met Caleb’s eyes unexpectedly.

Caleb was as usual, sharply dressed, looking like someone who wouldn’t be shopping at a supermarket.

Yet here he was, indeed at the supermarket.

Serena saw Caleb pushing a shopping cart with his other hand, filled with items, including a fair amount of fresh produce.

In her impression, Caleb surely couldn’t cook, nor had he ever.

So what was he buying so much fresh food for?

Serena’s first thought was someone else was going to cook for Caleb.

Like Claire.

In the midst of thinking about this, she forgot to pull her hand back, letting Caleb hold it for a long while.

The charming smile on Caleb’s lips deepened.

"Caleb, I bought halibut."

Claire rounded the corner, seeing Serena instantly made her expression constrict.

Caleb was the first to let go of his hand.

It wasn’t until Caleb let go that Serena realized he had been holding her hand.

Her hand was burning with heat, making Serena embarrassed.

She was afraid Caleb might misunderstand her feelings for him.

However, she wouldn’t mind if Claire saw this scene.

"How about we buy some yogurt to drink?" Caleb suggested to Claire.

"But I want to drink milk more." Claire stepped to Caleb’s side and wrapped her arm around his.

"Let’s buy milk then."

Claire’s words made Serena halt. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
