Chapter 158 "Yeah, we agreed that if the food is good, we'll cback together next time," Serena replied.
She didn't notice the teasing in Samuel's eyes. To her, it was just a casual dinner with a friend-nothing out of the ordinary.
Samuel paused for a moment, then shook his head with a resigned smile.
Serena could be a bit oblivious at times.
Luckily, they shared similar interests, and by the end of the meal, Serena was in good spirits.
After finishing their meal, they made their way to the parking lot to retrieve the car before heading back to the stuto check on the kiln.
Samuel, ever the gentleman, opened the car door for her.

Nearby, two familiar figures were standing together.
Wendy, having finished her meal, was arm-in-arm with Zach.
"Zach! Is that Serena? Who's the man with her?" she asked.
Zach immediately tensed. If the Jansen family had been willing to sell Serena to Hugh as his mistress, it wouldn't be surprising if they had her getting close to other men as well.
Following Wendy's finger, his gaze fell on Serena, who was sitting in the passenger seat of Samuel's car.
Without a second thought, he rushed toward them. "Rena!" Samuel had just settled into the driver's seat when the shout rang out from a distance.
"Who's Rena?" Serena snapped out of her thoughts and quickly fastened her seatbelt.
"Just a stalker. Hurry up and close the door," she said.
"Got it." Without hesitation, Samuel shut the door and locked it.
By the tZach reached them, all he could do was furiously punch the car window.
"Open the door! Let Serena out!" Serena wasn't sobject to be passed around between men! Zach's anger was palpable.
Samuel remembered Hugh's warning and quickly connected the dots-Zach was the "persistent nuisance" Hugh had referred to.
He lowered the window and said, "Your behavior is beyond rude. First, you rush over and slam my car door, and now you're demanding that my guest get out? Just who do you think you are?" Zach froze for a moment. He couldn't claim to be Serena's boyfriend-he had no rights or claim over her.
All he could do was press his face against the window and shout her name.
"Serena! Rena! Hurry up and get out of the car! I'll take you hsafely. You don't need to ride with a stranger! If you're being threatened, blink twice, and I'll call the police. I won't let anyone harm you!" Serena was getting a headache from the shouting.

Zach froze.
Samuel chuckled. "Did you hear that? She said you're too loud. Tto move aside, or else..." Before Zach could react, he stomped on the gas. The engine roared, and the car surged forward with a thunderous growl.
Zach was caught off guard and stumbled back a few steps, looking slightly disheveled.
Samuel let out a laugh. "Wow, you get scared by a little acceleration? With that kind of courage, you'll never win dof alwoman over. You're really embarrassing us men!" With that, he slammed the pedal, and the car sped off, disappearing from view in an instant.
Zach's face turned pale from the mockery.
Wendy quickly rushed forward to steady him. "Zach! That was so m scary! I honestly thought the new guy Serena's seeing might just run you over without a second thought. Are you okay?" The mention of a "new guy" caught Zach's attention, and his expression darkened instantly.
"Shut up. Serena isn't the type to fall for someone else so easily. She and Hugh..."
"Hugh's not here, and he can't see what's happening! Zach, I know I'm being blunt, but if Serena could be Hugh's mistress, what's stopping her from being with another man? Besides, if she doesn't love Hugh, she could easily fall for someone else..." Zach was at a loss for words.
