21 Chapter 21 : Love Bite When Lana Xavier and Justin Nash reached the 77th floor , one of the guest room doors was open . They immediately ran over and , unsurprisingly , saw Serena Jennings . Serena had already tidied up her clothes and even redone her hair . However , Lana Xavier and Justin Nash could both tell that something had definitely happened between Serena and Caleb Lockwood ; otherwise , they couldn't explain the scattered rose petals everywhere . They were worried about Serena , so they called her . Serena told them she was on the 77th floor but hadn't paid attention to the room number . Lana had put the call on speakerphone ; even though Serena did a good job of pretending , both she and Justin could hear that Serena's voice had changed . " Serena , where's that jerk ? " Lana Xavier was ready to fight . Serena replied nonchalantly , " He left ... went to find Claire Shaw . " " Damn ! " On the way down in the elevator , Lana Xavier kept cursing Caleb Lockwood . Serena was afraid Justin Nash might find it annoying , but Justin said he loved hearing people curse Caleb Lockwood and encouraged Lana . Lana Xavier didn't go home that night ; she stayed at Serena's place to keep her company . Serena initially said there was no need for Lana to stay . She didn't want to trouble her friends as an adult . Serena admitted that Caleb Lockwood had given her a significant fright and hurt her a lot that night . However , she was an adult , not a child , and needed to solve her own problems . Moreover , Lana Xavier had work the next day , and staying here would be too far for her . But no matter what Serena said , Lana insisted on staying , and Justin also persuaded her to let Lana stay . Finally , Serena had to compromise . This old house on Vornath Street wasn't large ; though it was a suite , there was only one bed . " Sorry to trouble you , Lana ." 13-29 21 Chapter 21 : Love Bite " What trouble ? Sharing a bed with you is no trouble at all . " Serena was amused by Lana Xavier . Both had work the next day , but neither could sleep . They lay in bed chatting , as if they were back in their high school dorm days . Back then , Serena often chatted with Lana at night , talking into the early morning hours , and neither of them wanted to get up when the alarm kept ringing the next day . " Tell me , Serena , what exactly do you like about Caleb Lockwood ? " Lana turned over , curious . " Besides being especially handsome , tall , fit , wealthy , capable , a CEO of a listed company , and from a good family background ... does he have any other merits ? " Serena was caught between laughter and tears . She didn't know whether Lana's words were meant to demean Caleb Lockwood or praise him . The bedroom was silent . Serena thought for a while and said softly , " Caleb Lockwood ... was my first love ." " Didn't you meet him in college ? He had a car accident , and you saved him ... " 1 Lana remembered correctly , " First loves are hard to let go of , but you were already an adult then . Don't tell me that's why you're so devoted to Caleb Lockwood ? " Serena shook her head , a hint of regret and blame in her tone , " I actually knew Caleb Lockwood long ago , but Caleb forgot about me ." " Wow , he's been a jerk since he was young ! " When Lana said this , even though it was dark around , she saw the bitter smile on Serena's face . " He wasn't a jerk back then ... he was rather cool . " As the image of Caleb Lockwood , rebellious yet dignified in the reformatory , flashed in her mind , the bitter smile on Serena's face grew shyer . " Girl , you're in late - stage love brain . How old were you then ? " 17:20 21 Chapter 21 : Love Bite " About 13 , I think ! " " That's exactly when the love - brain phase attacks . " Serena didn't deny Lana's words . She felt she was quite a love - brain ; otherwise , she wouldn't have willingly been a housewife for three years for Caleb Lockwood . If it weren't for the accidental discovery of that form , and if Claire Shaw hadn't returned to the country , she might have continued like that , immersed in the fantasy of Caleb Lockwood deeply loving her , self - satisfied . " So in high school , you always refused Ethan White . I was wondering why , and now I understand it was because of Caleb Lockwood ." When Lana mentioned Ethan White , Serena felt a bit stuffy inside . The bedroom went quiet , and Lana patted her forehead . " Sorry , sorry , my bad , let's talk about something else ... like Justin Nash ? He's not bad - looking ; even if he's no Caleb Lockwood , he's still a young hunk . " " A married woman seducing a college boy ? " Serena couldn't help but laugh . " Why not ? Your husband's still out there , not being a decent married man , hanging around with that conniving flirt every day . " Every time Caleb Lockwood was mentioned , Lana had nothing good to say . Serena picked up her phone to check the time and inadvertently opened her social circle . Caleb rarely posted in the social circle , but he posted something unprecedented tonight , with a photo . The picture was of a bedroom Serena didn't recognize with its decor and the conspicuous double bed in the middle . However , she understood Patrick Rhodes ' reply below . Patrick Rhodes : " Blew me off for a drink , turns out to be accompanying the wife , prioritizing romance over friendship . " " Your scummy husband again ? " Lana immediately knew it had to do with Caleb Lockwood just from Serena's expression . 13:29 21 Chapter 21 : Love Bite " Nothing much , just Caleb made a post from Claire Shaw's place ." " Wow , seriously shameless ! Taunting you ? " " Probably ! " Serena sighed and briefly recounted to Lana what happened between her and Caleb in the hotel room . " I was the one who told him to find Claire Shaw , so maybe he posted that for me to see ... ? " Serena's tone became increasingly uncertain . Saving Caleb made the post for her , but does Caleb really care that much about her feelings ? Maybe not ! " You too , can't let it go , " Lana couldn't help lightly tapping Serena's head , " You two aren't even divorced . With someone as handsome as Caleb , you should be sleeping with him , then throw him two hundred bucks , tell him that's all his skills were worth . " 1 " Lana , you read too many romance novels ." Serena was left speechless , yet amused . As expected , Serena and Lana both ended up late the next day . Joining them in tardiness was Claire Shaw . In the office , Heather Monroe scolded Serena thoroughly , and when Serena returned to her desk , Chantelle Stone and Megan Ross were still mocking her . Meanwhile , Claire Shaw was also late , yet Heather Monroe only mildly commented , " Even if you're in love , it shouldn't interfere with work ! " 1 " Sorry , team leader , I was too tired last night ... " Claire Shaw blushed deeply , deliberately tugging at her shirt collar . Everyone in the office saw the red marks on Claire Shaw's white skin . Including Serena . " Are those love bites ? " Chantelle Stone was keen for gossip with Megan Ross , " Seeing how shy and happy Claire looks , her boyfriend must be amazing in that department ." 13:29 4/5 21 Chapter 21 : Love Bite " Amazing and wealthy too . I heard all her branded stuff was gifted by her boyfriend . " " Ah ... I want a boyfriend like that too . " Chantelle Stone and Megan Ross were filled with envy . Meanwhile , the pen in Serena's hand remained motionless ; the design inspiration that had once surged vanished completely . For the development of the new product line , Heather Monroe had all team members submit ten design drafts each . In the end , Claire Shaw had three designs selected , while everyone else had one draft selected . Not a single one of Serena's was chosen . As soon as it was lunch break , she knocked on Heather Monroe's office door . Comment 3 Leave the first comment for this chapter .
