Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 255

Hugh let out a quiet sigh.

Chandler handed him another stack of documents and murmured, "These all need to be reviewed today. It might be a bit much."

"Just leave them."

Hugh rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

His morning workload was piling up, forming a mountain—he didn't even want to think about the afternoon.

Hugh ended the call abruptly.

On the other end of the line, Serena listened with growing concern. She glanced at the time, then at the Larson family's investment proposal for Amber Group.

An idea struck her.

Without hesitation, she strode out of the office.

Alicia poked her head out. "Serena, where are you going?"

"I'm heading to Larson Group to discuss the investment plan. Let me know if anything urgent comes up."

With that, Serena walked off briskly.

Alicia pulled her head back and exchanged a glance with Chris across the room.

"Did Larson Group even request a meeting with us today?"

"If she wants to go, let her—as long as they're willing to see her," Chris replied, adjusting his glasses.

As long as Amber Group could stay afloat, it didn't matter to him how Serena spent her time.

Alicia suddenly understood—Serena had already wrapped things up and was simply looking for an excuse to see Hugh. It was just typical couple behavior.

Meanwhile, as Serena left Amber Group, she sneezed forcefully.

She found it odd. Who was insulting her?

She rubbed her slightly itchy nose before walking into an upscale restaurant.

"One of your best breakfast set. To go."

Serena felt no sympathy—only a growing sense of discomfort. With anyone else, she wouldn't have cared how they addressed her.

However, with Cole, maintaining the hierarchy was essential. Without it, she couldn't predict what outrageous comments he might have made next.

"I'm here today to bring your Uncle Hugh's meal, and according to family hierarchy, you should be calling me Aunt Serena. Is there a problem with that?"

She made sure to emphasize "Uncle Hugh".

Cole instinctively clenched his fists, staring at her helplessly.

"Titles are just formalities."

"But formalities are everywhere. When you're too weak to challenge them, it's best to just follow them. I won't embarrass you in front of your subordinates today, but next time, I expect you to address me properly."

Serena's tone was as cold as ice as she delivered the lesson. After signing in at the front desk, she turned to head upstairs.

However, Cole's hand landed beside her, blocking her path.

"This small errand isn't worth your time. Let me take care of it for you."
