First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: The Lockwood Family’s Legal Team

Holding the phone, Serena Jennings felt her heart race with anxiety.

As long as Caleb Lockwood didn’t change his mind, she could finally draw a clear line with him this time.

After Lana Xavier finished singing two songs, Serena finally received a WeChat message from Caleb Lockwood.

’It counts.’

Caleb Lockwood only replied to her with these two words.

Serena frowned, wanting to discuss the details of the divorce further, but then she received another text from Caleb:

’We’ll talk when I’m back in the country.’

The text was brief, the attitude was indifferent.

Serena sighed.

She just hoped nothing would go wrong this time.

The next day, Serena went to work as usual.

In the studio, Sharon Sanders and Nancy Young were both there.

Quentin Xavier didn’t show up.

Serena called Quentin.

"Are you taking a day off today? If you don’t, it’ll count as absenteeism."

Quentin was actually downstairs at Azure Tower, just not going up.

A silence fell over the line; just when Serena thought there was a signal problem, she finally heard Quentin’s voice:

"You still want me to go to work? Haven’t you already found out that I’m working for CL?"

"So whether you want to quit or not, you need to come in to formally complete the resignation procedures."

Serena’s tone was businesslike, Quentin opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Half an hour later, he appeared in front of Serena.

Serena took Quentin to the conference room, the heavy atmosphere between them left Sharon and Nancy puzzled.

In the conference room, Serena had already organized Quentin’s resignation paperwork, social insurance, and remaining salary.

"I won’t apologize."

Quentin suddenly said this for no apparent reason.

Serena looked up to see Quentin with a severe expression, as if upset about something.

"Indeed, there’s no need to apologize, but you came to me as a corporate spy, and I didn’t even get mad, so why are you upset?"

"I..."

Quentin hesitated, eventually admitting:

"Originally, if I did well this time, Claire Shaw promised to promote me to the design team leader, but now..."

"She fired you?"

Quentin stared at Serena in disbelief.

"How did you know?"

"Just a guess."

Serena stapled the resignation documents and handed them to Quentin.

Although Quentin took the documents, he didn’t leave for quite some time.

He was now unemployed.

Even though it was his fault for failing to complete the mission Claire Shaw gave him, he thought he could return to work at CL after his identity was exposed.

This morning, he received a package sent by Claire Shaw, which contained a dismissal letter.

He called Claire, only to find his number had been blocked.

This was the first time Quentin realized how heartless Claire Shaw could be.

Serena was about to leave the conference room, seeing Quentin not moving, she reluctantly returned.

"You actually came to apologize to me, didn’t you?"

Suddenly hearing Serena say this, Quentin’s face flushed red.

"I’m not..."

"You know you owe me an apology, but you’re afraid I won’t forgive you... Actually, you don’t want to resign because it’s hard to find a job now..."

Serena bluntly pointed out Quentin’s thoughts, making his face alternately red and white.

"Sigh!"

Serena sighed and handed a contract to Quentin.

That night, Serena accidentally saw Caleb post on his Moments. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
