First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Agreeing to Divorce Me

Serena’s face flushed.

"Quentin, why don’t you take Sharon and Nancy out for some market research?"

"...Oh...okay..."

Even though Quentin was a beat slow in reacting, he understood Serena’s intention and immediately took Sharon and Nancy out of the office.

Now with no one else in the office, Serena didn’t have to worry about her relationship with Caleb Lockwood being exposed or someone seeing her blush.

"Caleb Lockwood, what exactly are you here for today?" Serena demanded.

"Didn’t I already say? You should withdraw from the competition!"

Caleb’s tone left no room for negotiation; it was an order.

Serena found it amusing.

The golden opportunity she had waited so long for, and Caleb says to withdraw just like that?!

In Serena’s dark, grape-like eyes, Caleb saw intense resistance.

"Withdrawing... is to save your face because you won’t win."

Serena still remembered the last time Caleb said something similar was when Claire also started her own studio.

"Are you saying Claire is participating in this New Star Jewelry Design Contest too?"

"That’s correct."

Caleb’s answer was both within Serena’s expectations and seemed illogical to her.

"Didn’t Claire obtain an introduction letter from President Grant, securing the opportunity to participate in the LD Jewelry Fashion Week?"

Serena finished asking and just heard Caleb chuckling softly.

The laughter was disdainful.

As if mocking her ignorance.

"Claire is different from you. Your goal is just a small jewelry fashion week, but Claire’s aim is to make CL the number one jewelry brand globally."

Caleb vividly described Claire’s ambitious goals, but Serena found it laughable.

Even FY wouldn’t dare claim they could become the number one jewelry brand globally.

However, with The Lockwood Group as her backing, Claire does have some possibility.

Winning the jewelry design contest could indeed bolster Claire’s personal resume.

"Since she’s competing, all the more reason for me not to withdraw."

The words were meant more for herself to hear than for Caleb.

"So how many times do you have to lose to Claire before you give up?"

Serena couldn’t answer Caleb’s question.

As far as her memory served, she always seemed to lose to Claire.

She lost when competing for Caleb.

She lost the recommendation from Ronan Ross.

She also lost the anniversary gift for Leo Grant.

Serena’s face went pale, while Caleb’s lips curved upward.

"Serena, it’s important to know oneself."

Caleb’s words ended there.

Serena’s embarrassment peaked.

At this moment, Caleb received a phone call, not a business call, but one from Claire.

"Caleb, I have a social event tonight. Can you accompany me?"

"Of course."

"But then you’ll have to drink on my behalf again. I feel so sorry for you..."

"It’s no problem. It’s my duty."

Listening to Caleb flaunting his affection for Claire on the phone, Serena recalled how she had drunk to the point of vomiting to secure an AMS order with Mr. Huang.

Later, she went to the hospital for a check-up and nearly had a stomach perforation. The person who took her home was Lana Xavier.

Where was Caleb?
