CHAPTER 16: CHAPTER 16: IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

Serena looked at him, the tall man stood against the light, the dazzling lights gave his handsome and angular profile a golden edge, the man in a black shirt had added a few shades of aloof abstinence compared to usual.

Serena’s gaze quickly swept downwards, he had an expensive, cool black leather belt buckled at his waist, outlining a fit and tight waistline, hmm... it was the "dog’s waist" that Leah mentioned...

Oh my, what’s she thinking?

Realizing that she was led astray by Leah, Serena quickly stopped her wild thoughts, asked in her usual tone, "Mr. Crawford, what are you doing standing there?"

Hayden looked at the girl’s sparkling eyes with fragments of light, raised an eyebrow, "I seem to see a little kitten there, meowing."

Wha... what?

Hayden, "In heat."

With those words, Serena’s face turned bright red, she directly threw the towel in her hand onto the man’s handsome face.

Hayden didn’t dodge, the towel hit his face and fell to the carpet, he let out a magnetic laugh from his throat, mocking her.

Serena reached for the shower room door to close it.

But he half-bent his knee, blocking the door, "Angry?"

Serena snorted, ignored him.

"I’m flying overseas for a business trip, I’ll be away for a few days."

Serena quickly raised her eyes, he’s going on a business trip?

This is his first business trip.

Serena stopped causing trouble, "When are you leaving?"

"I’ll leave in a bit."

"So soon... then take care and don’t overwork yourself."

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Serena thought for a bit, there wasn’t anything to say, so she shook her little head, "That’s all..."

Hayden gently tugged her slender wrist, and Serena’s soft body fell directly into his arms.

Serena quickly stood straight, "Mr. Crawford, what are you doing..."

Before she could finish her sentence, he placed her small hand on his fit waist.

Her soft palm felt his firm and strong muscles through the thin fabric, full of masculine strength, Serena only felt a spark pass through her fingertips, which quickly ignited, she was startled and tried to pull away.

But Hayden pressed her, forbidding her to retreat, his thin lips lowered to her flushed ear and said in a hushed voice, "Is this what you want?"

Serena knew that he remembered the voice message he heard, making her even more embarrassed, "Mr. Crawford, we were just messing around, let go of me first!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Butler Felix spoke respectfully from outside, "Young master, the private jet is ready, it’s time to depart."

Hayden let go of Serena, "In the future, don’t read those anymore, if you have problems that can’t be solved, give me a call."

With that, Hayden left.

...

After bathing, Serena got into bed, took out her phone to divert the topic to Leah, Leah sent a final message, "Serena, I still have to film abroad for a while, I’ve already sent someone to dig up Lillian’s old dirt, she’s a sly old fox, it will take some time to uncover, when the time comes, we’ll tear that bitch Yasmine apart together!"

With such a friend by her side, Serena immediately sent a big "mua" back.

It was time to sleep, but Serena couldn’t fall asleep, as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Hayden pulling her into his arms, making her touch his waist, and asking the deadly question, "Is this what you want?"

He’s so confident!

And, what does he mean by not reading those anymore?

She really didn’t read them, just... just on her 18th birthday, Leah mysteriously pulled her into a room...

He finally said, if there are problems that can’t be solved, call him.

Serena closed her eyes, suddenly felt at ease, she curled her lips and drifted off into dreamland.

...

Last night she slept late, so the next morning Serena woke up late, she was woken up by a melodious ringtone.

Someone was calling her.

Serena opened her sleepy eyes, reached for her phone, then pressed the button to answer, "Hello."

On the other side, Lillian’s soft voice came through, "Hello, Serena, it’s me, I hope I’m not disturbing your rest."

Lillian’s affair with Cox was quite damaging, now she deliberately softened her voice, but Serena detected a hint of venomous resentment, though she was desperately holding it in, Serena was in a good mood, sweetly replied, "Auntie, do you need me for something?"

"Serena, it’s like this, today is Vanessa’s birthday, we’ve arranged a birthday party for her and would like to invite you to attend, are you free tonight?"

Lillian’s invitation must be a trap, but Serena felt she had no reason to retreat without a fight, "I’m free, Auntie, give me the address, I’ll be there on time tonight."

"That’s wonderful, Serena, Vanessa’s birthday party is being held at the Sovereign Six-Star Hotel."

"The Sovereign Six-Star Hotel?"

"Yes Serena, this Sovereign Six-Star Hotel is the best hotel in Bayside, it’s also an industry owned by Bayside’s top family, The Crawford Group, usually Bayside’s high-ranking officials and dignitaries have gatherings there, this time Vanessa’s birthday is highly valued by Gregory, he’s spent a fortune reserving a luxury suite there, Serena, you just returned from the countryside, surely you haven’t seen the Sovereign Hotel before, tonight you can really broaden your horizon."

Serena almost laughed, turns out Lillian’s call was to show off.

When she returned to Bayside from the countryside, she once saw the Sovereign Six-Star Hotel from the car, situated in the most bustling area of Bayside, its pyramid design reached into the clouds, decadent and magnificent.

The driver told her this was the Sovereign Hotel, owned by the richest man in this city.

Vanessa’s birthday party was held at the Sovereign Hotel, Gregory spent a fortune to show his love for his daughter, indeed Lillian had a reason to boast.

"I really haven’t had the chance to see this legendary Sovereign Hotel, so Auntie, I’ll see you tonight."

Serena hung up the phone, then got up, she opened her wardrobe.

When she married in, they had prepared a separate wardrobe room for her, this was her first time in here, looking for an evening dress.

But as she walked inside, Serena was stunned, rows of clothes racks hung with an array of branded dresses, a showcase of high heels and crystal shoes, and bags...

This is probably... every woman’s dream wardrobe.

Serena opened a closet, her face turned red.

This closet was filled with various styles of silk lace nightgowns, pure ones, sexy ones, all kinds.

Who prepared this?

Could it be... his taste?

Leah once said, the more decent-looking on the surface, wrapped in neatly ironed shirts and pants, an abstinence aura man, the more lustful inside.

Serena quickly closed the closet, then picked out a long dress to change into, and went to the Sovereign Six-Star Hotel.
