Chapter 460 Serena’s Type
The agenda of the meeting had completely deviated after Susan barged in.
"Your Sarah?" Han blurted out.
"You have a problem?" said Susan scornfully.
A war was about to break out. Serena, however, gave Susan a thumbs up for calling Han a playboy. She liked that insult because that could be used on Ben too. Leah felt her head throbbing. Both Susan and Han always argued whenever they were in the same room.
"Can we talk about the partnership?"
Like hello? Weren't they supposed to iron out the kinks of the partnership? But other than Serena, no one heard Leah.
"Wait, Sarah." Serena suddenly recalled something. "Did you just call Han 'babe'? What is going on between you two? Ever since his double identity was exposed, he doesn't even bother to hide his love for..."
Leah immediately covered Serena's mouth to stop her from speaking further. Leah was already embarrassed enough.
"I was planning to tell you after the meeting. We are dating now."
"Oh... What? Dating?" Serena slammed the desk and stood up. "When did you two sleep together?
Didn't you absolutely detest being with him?"
Ben was surprised at the information dump too. He looked at his superior. "Boss, why didn't you tell us?"
No wonder he felt that something was wrong yesterday. He thought Leah had lied to Han so that Han would take the antidote. But it seemed like it wasn't a lie after all? That was the moment Ben realized that Serena and he still had a long way to go. If they went through what Han and Leah had gone through, Ben wasn't sure he could remain sane.
"So stay away from her," uttered Han coldly.
Although Susan never said it out loud, Han could tell that she liked Leah. He just didn't expect his love rival to be a woman. It peeved him.
Susan paid Han's warning no mind. She sat beside Leah. "Oh, Mr. Howard. Unfortunately, I can't do that. Besides, you forced Sarah anyway. You threatened her with your life. That's just shameless of you. You took advantage of her kindness."
Susan should have done the same. Han was just one step ahead of her. Han didn't give any response. He just pulled Leah to his side.
"We were married."
Han didn't want to bicker with Susan any longer. He summoned the security guards to take Susan away.
"The meeting is about to start. Unauthorised personnel are not allowed in."
Susan was not thrilled to be labelled as unauthorised personnel. She snapped back, "Why didn't you die from the poison two days ago?"
"Because I have to make sure I outlive you. Now, bugger off and don't bother us."
"You!" shouted Susan.
Before the situation escalated further, Leah stepped in. "Enough. Stop it already."
She couldn't understand why these two quarrelled like kids before her. It sounded like they were vying for her attention.
"Ms. Victor, thank you for your concern. I'm fine. Can you give us some privacy for the meeting?"
That was the end of the entire debacle. Before Susan left, she glared at Han. It was until she left the building that she noticed she forgot to give Leah her present. Susan took out a silver bracelet. It had a bell that contained aromatic wood.
"I'll give it to Sarah next time..."
After Susan left, everyone became serious. "Ms. Coleman, we have gone through the proposal you sent us. I have taken the liberty to highlight the few areas that need to be amended. Please have a look."
Serena was pleasantly surprised by Ben's professionalism. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Okay..." She took the documents awkwardly. Each page was marked and highlighted meticulously. The pen ink was fragrant too. And honestly, Ben was quite good-looking. Eh... Was Ben her type?
"I... I'll change the design now." Serena dashed out with a crimson face.
Ben looked visibly crestfallen. "Does she really hate me that much?"
Leah consoled him. "She doesn't hate you. She just doesn't know how to react to your advances. Keep hanging out with her. And all the best."
The more Leah looked at Ben and Serena, the more Leah felt that they were made for each other. It was about time for Serena to get a boyfriend anyway.
Leah's words reassured Ben. He replied cheerfully, "Thanks, Mrs. Howard."
"Mrs. Howard?" Leah blushed.
As in the wife of Mr. Howard? Shawn's assistants used to call her Mrs. Ford too but it never had this heart-racing effect on her.
"I quite like the sound of it," Han chimed in.
Han!!!!
Like a cat whose tail was accidentally stepped on, Leah protested, "No, call me something else.
Something normal."
"Madam Howard?" answered Ben after some pondering. She was his superior's girlfriend now. So calling her Ms. White was no longer appropriate
Really? What’s the difference?
"Whatever. I'll work with Serena now."
As Leah's silhouette faded in the distance, Han switched to his stern look. He tapped his fingers on the desk.
"Did you find anything about the ancient organization?"
Ben replied courteously, "Not at all. They took advantage of modern technology to preserve their anonymity."
