Chapter 1445

With a huff, she tossed her phone aside, refusing to reach out to him first.

Martin sat behind his desk, his usually bright eyes now shadowed by a cloud of melancholy and dejection.

His deputy, sitting nearby, was at a loss for words on how to comfort him.

Since this morning, Martin had been planted at his desk, silent, not working, lost in his thoughts.

The scenes from last night reptayed in Martin's mind.

Serena, full of heartfelt emotion, kept calling him Romeo and saying those things.

How much she liked Romeo, how her boyfriend was Romeo, and that he, Martin, was nothing in comparison, not even fit to be her boyfriend.

When he offered her a cup of soup to sober her up, she had scorned it, telling him to get lost and stop interrupting her "date" with "Romeo."

The way she tiptoed to plant a kiss on "Romeo" was so loving, so lost in the moment, so shy and endearing—a stark contrast to how she was with him usually.

The more Martin thought about it, the more his heart ached.

"She'll definitely tattle! Besides, she has Romeo backing her. Forget it, Martin, it was my fault last night, I said things I shouldn't have, and caused a misunderstanding.” Sensing the mood set just right, Serena then asked in a pitiful tone, "You don't misunderstand me, do you?"

Martin, caught by her question, suddenly felt a bit guilty.

"Did you not look for me today because you were busy with work? I know, even if the whole world misunderstands me, you, Martin, will always steadfastly stand by my side, right? After all, you're my boyfriend, the person I trust and like the most in the whole world."

Martin's heart was suddenly touched, and with a tremble in his voice, he called out softly, "Serena."

"Thank goodness for you. No matter what the world turns into, no matter how much malice comes my way, as long as you are with me, i'll always have a place to belong”
