16 Chapter 16 : Are You Working Here as a Janitor ? The call was from Peter . 1 Justin Nash watched Serena Jennings talk on the phone , her expression growing more serious . His intuition told him their lunch plans were going to be canceled . As expected , Serena hung up the phone and , with an apologetic expression , said to him , " I'm sorry , I have something to deal with here , we'll have to reschedule ." " No worries , your work takes priority . " Justin Nash watched Serena get into a taxi , and only when it drove away did he lower his waving arm , talking to the air , " How can I make you realize I'm trying to pursue you ? " Following the location Peter sent , Serena took a cab to a Western restaurant . Through the bright glass windows , she could see Peter already waiting inside . " Been waiting long ? There was some traffic . " Serena sat across from Peter . " No problem at all . " Peter took out a thick stack of drawings from a file bag . " These are design drafts from the company's new batch of interns . There's no consensus in the group , so we had to ask a master like you to grade them . " Peter made a " please please " gesture , which amused Serena to the point of tears . " I haven't touched jewelry design in years . My taste must be outdated . Are you sure you trust me that much ? " " You must realize there are people who just adore your ' outdated ' taste ." Serena smiled and began flipping through the design sketches Peter handed her . Since these were FY intern designs , Claire Shaw's would certainly be among them , but the design papers had no names , so Serena couldn't tell . It wasn't that Serena wanted to make things difficult for Claire Shaw ; she was just curious . Caleb Lockwood said Claire was a rising star in jewelry design , and Claire certainly had the ability to get into FY . Serena was eager to see Claire's talent and ability in design . 16 Chapter 16 : Are You Working Here as a Janitor? After spending some time , she rated all the design drafts , then casually chatted with Peter over lunch . After they finished eating , Peter had matters at the company to attend to , and he left first , reminding her as he left : " Make sure to come and sign the contract next Monday . You can be late , but you must not be absent . " Serena laughed . That smile , Peter thought , was perhaps something Serena hadn't had in her three years of marriage ! After leaving the restaurant , Serena intended to visit a jewelry store . Not only had she not touched design in three years , but she had also been constantly surrounded by pots and pans with no opportunity to dress up . It wasn't that Caleb Lockwood was stingy with her ; he did gift her jewelry , but nine out of ten were pink diamonds . Serena never liked pink , and faced with endless chores every day , all the accessories were set aside . She truly feared falling behind , especially since Peter held her in high regard , and she didn't want to disappoint him . However , a WeChat message from Lana Xavier disrupted Serena's plans . It was a call for help via WeChat . As night fell , Riverview Imperial was magnificent , its glass curtain walls sparkling with radiance . A group of people gradually walked through the crystal revolving door . There were two men and three women , but it was clear that the one being adored like a star was the woman in the pink silk fishtail dress . This evening , Claire Shaw brought Caleb Lockwood , Patrick Rhodes , Lily Sutton , and Owen Warren to celebrate with her , marking her transition from an intern to a full - time employee at FY . " Claire , you look stunning , like a princess ." When Lily Sutton praised her , Patrick Rhodes waggled his finger , " Terrible conversationalist , you should be complimenting Brother Lockwood for saving the galaxy in his past life , hence finding such a wonderful wife ... Isn't that right , sister - in - law ? " 13 : 2 16 Chapter 16 : Are You Working Here as a Janitor ? Claire Shaw coyly slapped a teasing Patrick Rhodes . Tonight , everyone was here to celebrate her ; she had intentionally dressed flamboyantly , with diamond accessories from headband to ankle bracelet gifted by Caleb Lockwood - they were a luxurious pink diamond set worth a fortune . Riverview Imperial was one of the top luxury hotels in City A. Everyone coming here was either rich or noble , yet even so , Claire Shaw was the center of attention . Holding onto Caleb Lockwood's arm , Claire Shaw raised her head and walked proudly like a noble , graceful swan . She knew Caleb Lockwood liked exceptional women , and only those outstanding enough qualified to stand by his side . Therefore , she never scrimped on her appearance . Caleb Lockwood walked beside Claire Shaw , the usually sharp and icy lines of his face smoothed by a warm glow , as if melted in a tender haven , his slightly smiling lips perfect from any angle . He enjoyed bringing Claire Shaw to such events because it boosted his esteem . " Huh ? I remember there used to be a grand piano here , why has it been replaced by a dual keyboard ? " Claire Shaw pointed to the opulent hall center . " Last week , when I came , it was still a grand piano ... " Caleb Lockwood was also a bit curious . In the lobby of Riverview Imperial's first floor , there were musicians playing the piano . " Could it be that the pianist was too poor , so they got fired ? " Patrick Rhodes also focused on that dual keyboard . " Brother Lockwood mentioned before , the piano was fine , but the pianist was mediocre and not a fraction as good as the sister - in - law . " . After speaking , he scratched his head and muttered , " But if the pianist's bad , just change the pianist ! Why swap the piano too ? It makes no sense ..." Caleb Lockwood's gaze fell on his arm , he was looking at Claire Shaw's hand . " If only your hand hadn't been injured ... " 16 Chapter 16 : Are You Working Here as a Janitor ? Caleb Lockwood gently held Claire Shaw's hand , his voice filled with regret . Claire Shaw tried hard to keep her facial expression natural . " A blessing in disguise perhaps , if my hand hadn't been injured , I might not be a jewelry designer now . " " True . " Caleb Lockwood warmed Claire Shaw's cooling hand with the heat from his palm . " Claire topped the intern ratings this time ! " Owen Warren proudly exclaimed . " Sister - in - law is blessed by heaven . Whatever industry she's in , she's always number one . " Patrick Rhodes gave Claire Shaw a thumbs up . Caleb Lockwood nodded in agreement , " Claire's excellence has always been evident ." " As they walked , they got closer to the newly changed dual keyboard , beside which stood a staff member in a deep blue cleaning uniform , back turned as they hunched over to wipe blemishes on the dual keyboard with a tissue . Caleb Lockwood halted . Claire Shaw also stopped , turning her head to see Caleb Lockwood frown , staring intently at the staff member's back . Until the staff member straightened up , they spoke in unison : " Serena ? " Serena turned around , among the crowd before her , the first person she saw was Caleb Lockwood . Caleb Lockwood wore a pure black suit , with no need for deliberate styling , standing casually like a model , with a celebrity's face . However , Caleb Lockwood's expression was unpleasant , Serena felt he seemed angry . " Oh my god , are you working as cleaning staff here ? " It wasn't until she heard Owen Warren's exclamation that Serena realized why Caleb Lockwood was upset . Looking down at her outfit , she really did resemble a cleaning worker .
