Chapter 167

Serenity walked into the office, after which Connor gently closed the door behind her.

He decided to bring Serenity here not just because of what she had told him, of course, but because he knew how much his own boss cared about this woman. Perhaps he only wanted her to coax him a little. Besides, Serenity looked very visibly troubled just now, so it might give Jackson a great chance to swoop in and save her.

The thought of this somehow brightened Connor’s mood.

Afterward, when he returned to his office, his colleague came over to him and asked, “Who was that woman who went into the CEO’s office with you just now, Mr. Gunn?”

The employee was especially curious because judging by the way the woman dressed, there was no way that she was the kind of person who usually went in and out of Mr. Valor’s office at all.
