Chapter 321 The Image Collapses

Book:You Are Smothering Me, Handsome Published:2024-5-1

“Serina is fine, but it may be inconvenient for her to move recently because of her foot injury. She originally wanted to see you, but her foot can’t move for the time being, so she didn’t come.”
“I’ll go see her.”
Ernest struggled to get out of bed.
Jessica immediately took his slippers and said, “Let me help you over.”
Ernest does not refuse. Anyway, Serina’s ward was not far away.
In Serina’s ward, Serina and Derek were looking at each other in the eyes.
After experiencing this incident, they seemed to cherish the time when they were together.
“That’s enough?” Serina kissed Derek on the lips.
“What do you mean by not enough?” Serina was puzzled.
“Kiss me again.” Derek lifted Serina’s chin and prepared to kiss her deeply. He hadn’t kissed her for several days.
Serina nodded.
Just as Derek was about to kiss Serina, they heard Ernest coughing.
The two of them were shocked and looked at the door.
Ernest and Jessica both looked a little embarrassed. “It seems that we came at the wrong time…”
“How come you didn’t close the door?” Serina punched Derek on his chest.
Derek did not say a word. He stood up and gave his chair to Ernest.
“Are you alright?” Serina looked at Ernest. His originally thin face looked even thinner. The stab made Ernest suffer a lot.
“Not bad.” Ernest smiled.
Serina glanced at Jessica and said, “You look good. Of course, you are good with a beauty to accompany you!”
Ernest coughed awkwardly. “Don’t talk nonsense. Jessica doesn’t have a boyfriend.”
When Jessica heard this, the smile on her face was a little stiff, but she did not say anything.
“The two of you…” Serina looked at Jessica and Ernest. They looked strange.
“Serina, don’t misunderstand. Ernest was injured because of me. I was the one who told Marco that Ernest had already begun to suspect her. That’s why … I came to the hospital to take care of him because I felt sorry for him.”
Jessica quickly explained for Ernest so that both of them would not be embarrassed.
Serina did not know what to say.
Not knowing why, everyone felt that the scene was particularly awkward. No one said much. After a while, the nurse came to call Ernest, and Jessica walked back with Ernest.
Over the past few days, Derek had been staying at the hospital, almost never leaving Serina.
He set up a temporary office here to deal with some urgent documents and spent the rest of the time with Serina.
It was also because his face was really not appropriate to appear in the company. His bruised face would damage his CEO’s reputation.
Derek sat at the table, and his phone rang.
“Hello, Mr. Darion. We interrogated Brodie. He also told us where Marco might go, but we couldn’t find her.”
The call was from the police station.
“Is he telling the truth? He might be providing you with the wrong information and then getting you confused.”
“That’s possible, so the interrogation work for the past two days has been strengthened again. We calculated the area she could reach with the amount of oil in the helicopter and searched the nearby area, but we could not find Marco. After so long, if she wanted to escape, she would have already escaped far away. The range is too wide, and it is difficult to search.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Mr. Darion, can you provide some other information about Marco?”
“I investigated her before, but it was all information from the United States. She has not been in China for long, and she has no friends here. She grew up in an orphanage. I really don’t know anything else.”
“Okay then. Our wanted poster has also been sent out. Maybe the strength of the masses will be better.”
“How about this? I will invest three million on my own. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded. I will personally reward those who provide important clues and assist in capturing Marco.”
“That’s great. I believe there will draw a lot of attention. That’s all for now, Mr. Darion.”
He hung up.
Serina, who was immersed in playing mobile games, looked up. “Derek, have they caught her yet?”
“She’s too cunning,” Derek said as he put his phone to the side.
“Do you think she will…” Serina thought for a moment.
“What do you know?”
“Nothing.” Serina shook her head. “I can’t pass this stage. You help me.”
Serina picked up the phone. Derek sat next to her and held her in his arms. “You can’t even pass this stage. You are a veteran gamer!”
Derek grabbed Serina’s hand and began to play the game with her.
This was a small game designed by Derek, and Serina would play it sometimes.
Serina tried her best to pass the stage, but Derek made it quickly.
“Fool!” Derek patted Serina on the head.
Serina was somewhat unconvinced. “There is something wrong with your game design! Besides, this game is designed by you. Of course, you know how to play it!”
Serina could not help but roll her eyes, “If you have the ability, wait for me to be discharged from the hospital and play The Legend of Maya with me. I’ll defeat you!”
“It was also designed by me. Do you think you can defeat me?” Derek expressed his doubts.
“Then let’s find a game that you didn’t design to PK!”
“I designed the game myself. Even if I didn’t design it myself, I know how to play it. Are you sure you want to compete with me?”
Serina glared at him. “What’s so great about it? If you have the ability, design a game. Only I can clear it. No one else can clear it!”
“Well, I can promise you that I will design a game for you in the future.”
“Really?”
“Only the two of us can play … sex games.”
Serina hit Derek’s chest. “You are becoming more and more indecent! If you do this, your image will collapse!”
“What image?”
“The cold and overbearing boss! Who has ever seen the overbearing boss always make these irrelevant jokes! I used to see you as the Emperor, but now I don’t see any emperor!”
They looked at each other and laughed.
“Your image collapses!” Serina poked Derek in the head.
She liked it.
Neither of them noticed that someone was already standing at the door.
