Chapter 1489


    "Are you two together?" Lindsay asked with a tinge of astonishment, clutching Serena''s hand and


    whispering, "I thought you were engaged? Wasn''t his name Romeo? Howe it''s Martin now?"


    Romeo was a man who stood atop the social pyramid, a figure everyone looked up to, and yet Serena


    had chosen a nobody that no one had even heard of. What on earth was going on?


    "It''s a long story. Let me just introduce you, Martin and I have been dating for a few months now."


    Serena turned to give Martin a tender look, "Martin, this is Lindsay, my old middle school desk-mate.


    We got along best in ss and could talk for hours. Then she moved abroad with her parents, and it''s


    been ages since west saw each other. I didn''t expect to bump into her today."


    The two had only kept in touch via social media, liking each other''s life updates and leaving the


    asionalment.


    It had been years since they''d actually met face to face.


    "Pleasure to meet you," Martin said politely with a nod.


    "Hello, hello, I''m Serena''s good friend. Pleasure to meet you, too." Lindsay responded, then whispered


    to Serena, "Wow, your boyfriend is quite the gentleman. His vibe, his upbringing, they''re not a bit less


    impressive than Romeo''s."


    Serena knew she was just being nice, but she graciously smiled and said, "I think so. He''s nice to me."


    As she said this, she gave Martin a sweet nce.


    Martin''s gaze softened even more, as if touched by her words.


    "Lindsay, are you here for Mr. Albright''s birthday bash too?" Serena took the opportunity to inquire.


    Lindsay, without any guile,id it all out, "Yeah, my dad wants me to learn chess from Mr. Albright. It


    sounds prestigious, you know? Originally, Mr. Albright invited my granddad, but he couldn''t make it, so


    he passed the opportunity to my dad and me. What about you? Are you here with Mr. Collins?"


    "I came with him," Serena gave Martin another affectionate look.


    Lindsay appeared surprised, "Mr. Albright’s invited him? That means your boyfriend must be quite


    something to catch his eye. That''s so impressive!"


    Just moments ago, she had thought of Martin as a non-entity, but now she looked at him with newfound


    respect.


    Serena said with a smile, "Martin, Lindsay and I haven''t caught up in a long time. We''re going to chat


    for a bit."


    "Of course," Martin nodded at her and tipped his head to Lindsay before excusing himself.

    "Your boyfriend is so attentive and kind to you. What''s the situation? Why aren''t you with Romeo


    anymore? There''s been no news about you two."


    The Collins family and the McMillian family''s engagement had been arranged long ago.


    Serena''s eyes fell slightly, "I''ll tell you the truth, but you mustn''t breathe a word of this to anyone."


    Seeing Serena''s hesitation, Lindsay nodded and whispered, "Don''t worry. I can keep a secret."


    "It''s just that."


    Before Serena could finish her story, they saw a girl enter through the main door.


    Even without makeup, her striking beauty was undeniable - her face was extraordinary, almost unfairly


    beautiful under the lighting.


    Damn it!


    She had actuallye!!


    The butler at the door couldn''t hide his delight at the sight of Arabe.
