NovelEndChapter 154 As Serena stepped into the conference room, Zach's gaze immediately locked onto her.
Seeing that she was perfectly fine, his clenched fists slowly relaxed, and he let out a quiet sigh of relief. Serena noticed the expression on his face but couldn't quite understand why.
"Mr. Foster, what brings you here today? Is there something urgent we need to discuss?" she asked.
Zach answered, "Aside from business, Foster Group is looking to expand its presence in Javerton City. I wanted to connect with sof the prominent families here." Zach observed Serena closely, his mind racing with thoughts.
It had been two days since he last saw her at home, and even her white Cullinan was missing from the garage. Worried that something might have happened, he had found an excuse to visit Jansen Group, hoping to run into her.

Under his intense gaze, Serena felt a flicker of unease.
"If you're looking to connect with the influential families in Javerton City, I'm sure there are plenty of banquets you could attend," she said.
"I'm more interested in learning about Jansen Group," he replied.
Serena was at a loss for words. She couldn't fathom why he was so interested in Jansen Group, but she chose not to dwell on it. Instead, she instructed Natalie to bring over the company brochures.
"Since you're eager to learn more, Mr. Foster, letgive you a detailed introduction to Jansen Group today." "Alright." Natalie promptly returned with a stack of documents.
Serena and Zach sat across from each other, keeping their conversation strictly professional.
Meanwhile, Howard watched from the side, his frustration growing by the second. Hadn't he told Serena to focus on strengthening her relationship with Zach? This was infuriating! With a smile, Howard cut into their conversation and took a seat next to Zach.
"Mr. Foster, if you're exploring investment opportunities in Javerton City, Jansen Group would be more than happy to collaborate," he said.
"I'm speaking with Ms. Jansen," Zach replied curtly, not even sparing him a glance.
Howard's smile faltered. It was clear that Serena was the only one who could reach Zach.
"You young people probably have more in common to discuss. Maybe it's best for us older folks to step aside. Since you're getting along so well, Nina, why don't you stay and have a nice chat with Mr. Foster?" As Howard stood up, he deliberately stressed his final words, giving Serena a pointed look. If they could secure Zach's favor, the Foster Group project would be within their grasp.

"Everything you need is in here. Take your tgoing through it." Zach frowned. "Letting the client go through all the materials alone? That's hardly professional." Serena smiled, unfazed. "As a client, you've been staring atsince I walked in does that seem professional to you?" she countered.
Since professionalism was already out the window, she decided to just go through the motions.
Zach was momentarily caught off guard. His gaze flickered to the m security camera in the corner, unsure if their conversation was truly private. He hesitated, searching for the right words. Where was he even supposed to begin?
With the 13 years they had spent together, only for it to fall apart? With how quickly she had moved on? Or with how abruptly she had left? His mind raced, but the conference room remained eerily silent.
Then, his phone rang-the custom ringtone he had set solely for Wendy.
Serena's eyes flickered for a brief moment.
Zach quickly picked up the call. "Wendy?"
"Zach, Ms. Winter, the private tutor you arranged for me, just arrived, As expected from a top tier violinist, her skills are outstanding-I really like her. Thank you so much! I honestly have no idea how to repay you."
