“Alright. I’ll rest for two days and come back soon.” Serina was delighted secretly.
“Ms. Norris, do have a good rest. You’d better have a going-over. There is no hurry to come back. If there is anything wrong with the plot, make the call.” Lawis dared not trifle with Serina.
“Alright, I’ll listen to Mr. Lawis.”
Back in the hotel, Serina packed up her things sloppily. Anyway, she would come back in a few days, and there was no need to pack too seriously.
When the crew was still busy filming in the morning, Serina got on the chauffeur-driven car to City Z.
“Mrs. Maynard, are we going to the Crystal Palace now?”
Serina looked at her mobile phone. “What time is it when we arrive?”
“About ten o’clock.”
“Then let’s go back to Crystal Palace first. Don’t tell Mr. Derek that I’m back today.”
“Alright.”
Two hours later, they finally arrived at the Crystal Palace. Serina somehow had a carsickness. She was disgusting and wanted to vomit.
However, she bucked herself up. As soon as she arrived, she went into the kitchen and made three dishes and one soup.
Derek didn’t like food with strong taste, so she specially made them lighter.
Serina put the dishes into a thermal container. Then she took the car to the Saint Group.
She got off the car and stepped into the building of the Saint Group. Noticing Serina, the receptionists ran toward her.
“Mrs. Maynard! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” As he said this, the receptionist tried to take the container from Serina.
“It’s okay. I will do it myself,” Serina ducked and said.
“Is this the lunch for Mr. Derek? Mrs. Maynard is so virtuous.”
Looking at these two flatterers, Serina snorted softly.
When she came to the Saint Group for Derek previously, she suffered a lot of supercilious looks. Those staff rarely looked at her, not to mention to welcome her.
Now that everyone knew that she was Derek’s wife, they had to curry favor with her.
The receptionists took Serina to the elevator and pressed the button for her.
“You may go and do your work. I know the way.”
Serina walked into the elevator.
President’s Office
As he came out of the meeting room, Derek walked into the office with a tired face.
Derek loosened his tie.
“Mr. Derek, it’s lunchtime. What would you like to eat?”
“Whatever. I don’t have any appetite.” Derek sat at his desk.
“Oh, okay, then I’ll choose at my will.” Hayden turned around and was about to leave when Derek called for him again.
“Has there been any movements from Lauren recently?”
Hayden shook his head, “I don’t think so. Except for having afternoon tea, playing pokers, and doing facials with several madams, Mrs. Maynard did nothing these days.”
“I see. You may leave.”
Derek felt very strange. It was not Lauran’s normal reaction. Logically speaking, she should have already taken action.
Or was she preparing to do something else?
Hayden walked out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Serina who was going to knock on the door.
“Ms. Serina?!”
Hearing Serina’s name, Derek raised his head and looked at the door.
“Oh, no, it’s Mrs. Maynard now.”
“Well, same thing. It’s just a name.”
Looking at the container in Serina’s hand, Hayden smiled, “Since Mrs. Maynard has already prepared lunch for Mr. Derek, then I will spare myself from the trouble.”
“Go and do your job.”
Serina walked into the office. Hayden went out to help close the door.
“Why are you back?” Derek asked as he stood up.
“Surprised? Are you surprised?” Serina asked as she walked over to Derek.
Her playful smile swept the exhaustion all over his body away, “Of course. I’m surprised.”
“I’m back in the morning. Then, I made lunch for you and brought it over. How about having your lunch now?”
They went to the lounge together. Serina took out the food one by one and handed dishware to Derek.
“Aren’t you eating?” Derek took the tableware and looked at Serina.
“No appetite,” Serina shook her head.
“You must eat. A little is better than nothing.”
“I had a carsickness. It was uncomfortable and disgusting. I’ll eat when I’m hungry.” Serina looked at Derek with her chin in her hand.
“How?” Derek said and picked up his phone for Hayden, “Hayden, get Mrs. Maynard a cup of milk tea. A hot one.”
“Don’t! I want orange juice!”
“Okay, then. A glass of warm orange juice. And fetch me a few sweets.”
Serina smiled at Derek. “Eat. I’ll watch.”
“The dishes are very light today,” Derek said.
“Yeah, you don’t like things with strong tastes, so I made them a little lighter. So, I don’t want to eat them.”
“It doesn’t matter. You don’t have to accommodate me. You can do whatever you want.”
“Delicious?”
“Yes.”
After a while, Hayden delivered the orange juice and a plate of sweets.
Serina picked up the orange juice and drank it all.
Derek soon finished eating. He carried Serina over and put her on his laps.
“I haven’t asked why you suddenly came back?”
“My appetite is bad these days. When I was having dinner with the director and producer, they asked me what was wrong. I said that I might be uncomfortable with the change of the season. I guessed that the producer was worried about my wellbeing, so he offered me some days off.”
“Not feeling well?”
“Well, I just don’t want to eat. Maybe it’s because of the change of season. It doesn’t matter.”
“Your face seems to have lost some weight,” Derek said as he pinched Serina’s face.
“How can it be that exaggerated!”
“I can tell that even you just lose one kilogram.”
“Liar, I don’t believe you at all!” Serina shot a glance at Derek.
“I’ll take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow.”
“No! I don’t like hospitals.” Serina immediately refused.
“Be good. If there is a problem, doctors will find in time. Tomorrow I’ll be busy. I will go with you the day after tomorrow, alright?”
“I really don’t want to go.” Serina pouted.
“If you’re totally well, we’ll go for a trip. How about it?”
“Really?!”
Derek nodded.
“Alright then! It’s a deal!”
Maybe because she was full of expectations for the trip, Serina became much more active.
In the afternoon, Derek finished his work. They went home together.
