Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 270

"We still have to thank those two ladies from the restaurant. Thanks to them standing up for you, I saved on PR expenses," Ruth said with a chuckle as she walked toward the parking lot.

She unlocked her car and got in. As she started the engine, she casually updated Serena on the latest online discussions.

Serena was already in the car, looking at her reflection in the mirror—her face glowing, her smile warm.

"A win-win for everyone. I have an early meeting at Amber Group later. Do you have plans tonight? Want to grab dinner?"

"I remember what time you get off work. I'll pick you up after my rehearsal." Ruth agreed cheerfully.

She figured Serena just wanted to thank her for helping her get the judge position and return to the classical music scene.

They set a time, and Ruth pressed the accelerator. In the rearview mirror, a figure vanished in an instant.

A moment later, a black sedan quietly merged into traffic, tailing Ruth's car all the way to Luna Orchestra's studio.

Unaware of any of this, Ruth scrolled through her assistant's schedule updates as she walked upstairs.

Meanwhile, in the black sedan, a man in a baseball cap pulled his brim lower and silently approached her car.

…

In the evening, meetings at Amber Group had concluded for the day.

Serena walked out of the conference room and glanced at the time. "Half an hour late. Hmm? Ruth hasn't messaged to rush me?"

She stared at their empty chat window, feeling a bit surprised.

She quickly typed out an apology and was about to explain her delay when her phone rang. What was the rush?

Barely glancing at the person in the hoodie, she darted past, too anxious to stop.

The person she bumped into said nothing. Instead, they nervously pulled their soft hat brim lower and hurried down the stairs.

Serena's pace slowed. "That person… looks familiar."

Her gaze fixed on the hand resting on the stair railing. It looked like a woman's hand. Why was she dressed so androgynously, acting so skittish, and avoiding eye contact?

Serena was about to turn back and call out, but a nurse stopped her.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Wright's friend? She just finished her tests and can't go get her meds. Can you help her?"

"Yes, I'll go now!"
