First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: It’s Cooler Without Clothes

Before she could drink, the glass was snatched by Caleb Lockwood.

"She’s just a low-level employee; for Mr. Quinn to deal with her is to lower his status."

Caleb Lockwood downed the drink in a single gulp.

"Ah, yes, yes, President Lockwood is right, I’ll penalize myself with a drink."

Dylan Quinn also drank a glass.

The two of them continued drinking glass after glass, while Serena Jennings sat idly by.

Every time Dylan Quinn tried to get her drunk, he was stopped by Caleb Lockwood.

Serena never imagined that Caleb Lockwood would actually help block drinks for her one day.

However, it might also be because he feared the trouble of taking care of her if she got drunk.

At this moment, a waiter knocked on the private room’s door and brought in a new dish.

"I specially ordered this for Miss Jennings, papaya stewed with snow frog, great for beauty enhancement, come on, give it a try."

Dylan Quinn urged after seeing Serena Jennings hadn’t started eating:

"Miss Jennings doesn’t favor what I’ve ordered? Think it’s too cheap?"

"I didn’t mean that."

Serena Jennings picked up the spoon and took a sip.

Papaya stewed with snow frog tasted good, but once linked to Dylan Quinn, she couldn’t help feeling nauseated.

At this moment, Caleb Lockwood’s phone rang, and Serena could clearly hear Patrick Rhodes’s loud voice.

"Brother Lockwood, bad news! Your wife had a car accident!"

Caleb Lockwood’s face changed.

The shocked and worried expression was genuine, while Serena watched silently beside him, the sweetness of the snow frog gone.

Caleb Lockwood told Dylan Quinn that he had an urgent matter, and the meal would have to end.

But Dylan Quinn was not yet satisfied.

"President Lockwood is a busy man, you go about your business! Having Miss Jennings and Assistant Miller here with me will be enough."

Seeing Dylan Quinn say this, Caleb Lockwood hesitated slightly but finally agreed.

"But President Lockwood, you’ve been drinking, you can’t drive—let me take you there instead!"

"No need."

Caleb Lockwood flatly rejected Mr. Miller.

"Your job is to stay here, accompany Mr. Quinn..." His deep gaze landed subtly on Serena Jennings and quickly withdrew.

"Then escort Serena home."

Mr. Miller immediately understood Caleb Lockwood’s intentions.

Serena never thought Caleb Lockwood would dare drink and drive just for Claire Shaw.

If caught while drunk driving, even though Caleb might have the means to suppress the matter, there’s no wall in the world that doesn’t let the wind through, The Lockwood Group’s competitors could very well exploit this.

After all, these days, public opinion battles are crucial.

The impact wouldn’t be limited to Caleb Lockwood; the entire Lockwood Group would be affected.

Serena couldn’t believe Caleb wouldn’t understand this.

But in front of the woman he loves, everything becomes insignificant.

If not at Dylan Quinn’s dinner, Serena would’ve downed several bottles of drinks herself.

As a result, after Caleb Lockwood left, it was Mr. Miller who ended up drinking excessively.

Serena couldn’t understand how Mr. Miller offended Dylan Quinn, who forced him to drink relentlessly, soon leaving him drunk and unconscious.

"Mr. Quinn, that’s enough, isn’t it? Mr. Miller is a favored assistant of President Lockwood, if you continue to make him drink, he’ll be unable to work, and President Lockwood won’t be pleased."

Serena said, moving to support Mr. Miller up.

"Miss Jennings, rest assured, I’ll take responsibility for Assistant Miller and have him sent home."

Dylan Quinn put down his phone; soon, two men entered and took Mr. Miller away.

Serena planned to leave with them but was blocked by Dylan Quinn.

"Mr. Quinn, what do you mean by this?"

Serena’s mind sounded the alarm.

Before her, Dylan Quinn’s face was flushed from drinking, staring at her lecherously.

"It’s very late now, there’s a bed here; why doesn’t Miss Jennings sleep here tonight!"

Serena realized Dylan Quinn’s sinister intentions and turned to run, but his bulky body blocked her path.

She wanted to smash a bottle against Dylan Quinn as before, but the bottle slipped from her grip, crashing to the ground.

Serena looked at her hand; it lacked strength and was seeing double.

"It’s finally working, so slow..."

Dylan Quinn’s fuzzy voice sounded in her ear, and Serena felt her consciousness fading.
