Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife by Lil’ Bamboo - Season 2 Episode 65

In desperation, Serenity could only call the number with faint hope.

The call went through, but no one picked up. All she could hear was the beeping tone.

But she would not give up just yet. She called the number for a second time, then a third time…

Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, a few top executives were in Jackson Valor’s CEO office, their attention fixed on the ringing cheap old phone. All the top executives knew that recently, the CEO had started to have two phones with him at all times. One was his usual phone, and the other was this curious cheap old mobile phone.

As for the phone’s origin, the only person apart from Mr. Valor himself who knew about it would be Connor Gunn, his secretary. But if anyone asked Connor about it, the latter would just smile and refuse to say a single word about it.

Because of this, the top executives could not help but speculate about this strange phone.

In the past, Mr. Valor would instantly pick the phone up as soon as it rang, yet today, he had let the phone ring for so long, and he still would not pick it up even though his eyes were fixed on it the whole time with an icy cold expression on his handsome face.

This odd reaction stirred even more curiosity in the top executives‘ hearts, and they all turned to Connor.

Meanwhile, Connor, who had been standing beside Jackson all along, was secretly worried as he watched the phone ringing. The only person who could call this number was Serenity Lewis and no one else.

Having worked with Jackson for so many years, Connor could easily tell that his boss had been down in the dumps after Serenity had refused to stay by his side. Yet he would not pick up the phone when she called him just now, so what did it mean?

Did Mr. Valor not care about Serenity Lewis anymore?

No, that could not be. Connor had a hunch that perhaps the opposite was true. Perhaps Jackson cared about Serenity even more than he imagined. If Serenity meant nothing to Jackson, he could have easily thrown the phone away, yet he kept it by his side at all times all along. Could that mean that Jackson

simply could not let go of Serenity?

But that would be highly surprising.

Still, who would ever guess that a man like Jackson Valor would ever be interested in a woman like. Serenity Lewis? And yet, she had rejected him!

Fifteen minutes later, the phone finally stopped ringing

Only then did Jackson languidly look up at the top executives in the room and tell them, “Okay, continue the report.”

The executives froze for a moment before hastily continuing the report.

Serenity ground her teeth as she stared at her phone. She had just called the number five times in a row, but no one ever picked it up. Could it be that Jackson Valor had… discarded this number, after all? Was that why no one picked it up no matter how many times she called?

Xyla noticed her acting weird and started to ask in concern, “What’s wrong. Serenity? You’ve been calling someone for ages! The food is going to get cold if you don’t start eating, you know.”

“I… I’ve got some matters to settle, Xyla. I think I need to leave work around three o’clock. I’ll clean up all

the garbage on the streets, but could you help me with the rest later?”

Street sweepers like them needed to get someone in their own team to cover for them whenever they wanted to take a leave. If no one would cover their shift, they basically had no way to leave work early or take a leave at all.

“No problem,” Xyla replied with full readiness. “You helped me back when I took a leave in the past, after all.”

Serenity smiled in response, full of gratefulness, even though her heart was still heavy.
