First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Flesh Against Flesh

Serena Jennings silently watched Caleb Lockwood.

She was somewhat curious whether, in his eyes, she was just a woman who was mercenary and of little value.

Caleb Lockwood’s expression was as calm as a windless lake, giving no hint of anger at her request to resign.

"After you resign, do you plan to go back to your sponsor?"

Serena was stunned and countered:

"Who’s my sponsor?"

Caleb Lockwood smiled silently, as if saying:

You know it in your heart.

With that, Serena even if she wanted to explain, didn’t know where to begin.

In this room, there was a spacious glass sliding door, and once opened, outside was the private hot spring pool, surrounded by partitions made of bamboo, providing good privacy.

Caleb Lockwood pulled off his tie, slid the door open, and the sound of crickets outside immediately became clear.

"I’m going to soak in the hot spring. Want to join?"

"No."

Serena refused swiftly and decisively, Caleb just curled his lips indifferently, did not invite her again, nor did he force her.

At this moment, Caleb Lockwood’s phone on the entrance cabinet by the door rang.

Serena was nearby and instinctively picked up the phone to hand it to Caleb.

Turns out, she saw Claire Shaw was calling Caleb Lockwood via video.

Caleb was in no hurry, changed into swim trunks first, then took the phone, and casually soaked in the hot spring while video chatting with Claire Shaw.

Serena also changed into her swimsuit, but not to soak in the pool Caleb was in.

Staying in the room would only mean listening to Caleb and Claire Shaw chatting away, it might be better to be alone for a while, and possibly get some new design inspiration.

Serena went outside.

The night was deep and quiet.

Through a grove of bamboo, a large hidden pool glimmered faintly.

This pool was originally a public hot spring pool, but at this moment, the entire east area had been reserved by The Lockwood Family, so naturally, no one else was around.

Serena entered the pool, soaking was very comfortable and alleviated the physical and mental exhaustion she had accumulated over time.

But her mind couldn’t quiet down.

Since resignation was a certainty, she ought to plan her next step ahead.

Picking up her phone, she soaked in the hot spring while checking the angel investment group for suitable candidates.

This group was recommended to her by Lana Xavier.

She dropped out of university early and had little networking in her alumni circle, relying only on Lana Xavier.

After watching for a while, Serena felt a bit dizzy, and put her phone down.

She didn’t know when she had fainted.

When she vaguely regained consciousness, Serena felt something pressing firmly against her chest.

Like a hand.

And her lips had a flesh-to-flesh contact sensation, as if kissing someone.

Suddenly, Serena realized someone was taking advantage of her.

Seizing the opportunity to touch her chest and kiss her lips.

Slap!

Serena reflexively gave the person a slap, sat up, and saw Caleb Lockwood’s face burning red close by.

Caleb Lockwood coldly looked at her, somewhat disgruntled.

"You fainted in the pool."

He didn’t offer any more explanation.

Serena finally realized Caleb Lockwood must have been performing artificial respiration and CPR on her.

Yet she thought Caleb was taking the chance to take advantage.

Serena blushed and softly said:

"I’m sorry..."

"Why did you go so far away to soak? If I hadn’t happened to show up, this place is so secluded, even if you died inside no one would have found you."

Caleb’s words were devoid of warmth, leaving Serena unable to discern whether Caleb was concerned about her.

"Because you were on the phone..."

Serena started but then closed her mouth.
