No Escape from Love novel Chapter 269

I cast a grateful glance at Jacqueline and the senior employee, warmth spreading through my chest. Even in a workplace full of scheming and politics, there were still people willing to lend a helping hand.

After packing up my things, I was ready to leave. As I stepped out of the building, I spotted Lucas' car parked by the curb. He got out and walked toward me.

"What a coincidence, running into you again," he said with a smile.

"Yeah, quite the coincidence." I was both surprised and a little puzzled.

"I'm here because the person in charge of the project with Hastings Group has changed, so I came by for the handover," he explained. "And you…"

"It's my last day," I replied flatly.

He seemed taken aback.

I nodded without offering further explanation.

"Let me give you a ride," he offered.

I hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.

Just as I got into the car, Alex's assistant appeared, saying he was here to bring Lucas up. A flicker of displeasure crossed Lucas' face, but he still greeted the assistant politely.

"Looks like my timing isn't great," he said apologetically, glancing at me. "Let's meet up another day, okay?"

I nodded and watched as he left.

"Ms. Ashford, Mr. Hastings asked me to take you home," the assistant said as he approached me.

I stared at the container, and my emotions were in turmoil. "Thanks, but I don't need it," I declined. "I've already eating."

"Forgive?" I let out a cold laugh. "He ruined my mom's life. Do you really think a few simple words are enough to erase everything?"

"I know my father wronged your mother, but… But I love you, Serena." His voice grew more emotional. "Do you really feel nothing for me?"

His words landed like a bomb, detonating chaos in my heart. I looked at him with mixed emotions.
