Chapter

After Elliot and Serena's compromising encounter, the universe conspired to keep them apart.

Serena found no difficulties in meeting the expectations of her job, even Kim had pointed out that she seemed less apprehensive. Especially when Gerald made an appearance, then she would keep her guard down knowing that Elliot was miles away from her.

According to Kim, Elliot traveled back to Seattle for unjustified reasons, and she also commented that his family resided there so she needed no further explanation.

Serena collected the bags she brought from various boutiques that Kim was adamant about visiting for her supposedly stunning presentation at tomorrow's grand opening and place them on her desk. Her whole body asked for a long-awaited rest. She dimmed the light from her table lamp and took the pleasure of spilling onto her bed; You could almost hear her muscles thanking her as they made contact against the coverlet.
