5 Chapter 35 : Held in Caleb Lockwood's Palm Serena Jennings immediately reached out to Peter after leaving the meeting room . 1 She wasn't hoping for Peter to prove anything ; she was worried that Claire Shaw might copy her design and cause losses to FY . However , Peter reassured her . It was later that she learned Peter had registered the design patent with the intellectual property department upon receiving her draft , which led to The Lockwood Group urgently recalling the new jewelry that had entered the market . Today , Caleb Lockwood took a day off . Serena could see the empty office of the president as soon as she looked up . As Caleb Lockwood's secretary , she was very clear on his schedule every day . Including today . So she knew Caleb had gone to accompany Claire Shaw on a yacht for sea fishing . For this , he canceled all meetings and business . Serena still remembers that when she was hospitalized due to miscarriage , Caleb was also on a fishing vacation with Claire and didn't visit her at all . " Do you guys think President Lockwood is married to Claire ? " Christine Warren was gossiping with colleagues by the coffee maker . " They probably aren't yet ! Feels like they're still in the pursuit phase ? " " Probably almost there , otherwise why would LC's new model be recalled without President Lockwood saying anything or holding Claire accountable ! " " Not only did he not blame her , I heard from friends in the HR department that President Lockwood plans to give Claire a raise ! " 35 Chapter 35 : Held in Caleb Lockwood's Palm " Wow ... That's called being favored and fearless . " Serena listened nearby , sipping her cold coffee . If it was her causing The Lockwood Group to recall the new product this time , Caleb might have handled it differently . Today she didn't have to work overtime , so after work , Serena wandered through the supermarket alone , unconsciously heading to the refrigerated section . A yogurt brand that was quite niche caught her eye . There are countless yogurts , and Serena thinks they all taste pretty similar , but Caleb preferred only this one . Previously , to buy this brand of yogurt for Caleb , she had to run to several supermarkets every day . In an inexplicable urge , Serena reached out her hand and grabbed a carton of yogurt , just as another hand clasped hers . Serena turned her head , and her gaze met Caleb's eyes unexpectedly . Caleb was as usual , sharply dressed , looking like someone who wouldn't be shopping at a supermarket . Yet here he was , indeed at the supermarket . Serena saw Caleb pushing a shopping cart with his other hand , filled with items , including a fair amount of fresh produce . In her impression , Caleb surely couldn't cook , nor had he ever . So what was he buying so much fresh food for ? Serena's first thought was someone else was going to cook for Caleb . Like Claire . In the midst of thinking about this , she forgot to pull her hand back , letting Caleb hold it for a long while . The charming smile on Caleb's lips deepened . " Caleb , I bought halibut . " 122 < 35 Chapter 35 : Held in Caleb Lockwood's Palm Claire rounded the corner , seeing Serena instantly made her expression constrict . Caleb was the first to let go of his hand . It wasn't until Caleb let go that Serena realized he had been holding her hand . Her hand was burning with heat , making Serena embarrassed . She was afraid Caleb might misunderstand her feelings for him . However , she wouldn't mind if Claire saw this scene . " How about we buy some yogurt to drink ? " Caleb suggested to Claire . " But I want to drink milk more . " Claire stepped to Caleb's side and wrapped her arm around his . " Let's buy milk then . " Serena watched as Claire picked up a brand of milk Caleb never drank , but Caleb offered no opinions . This was a brand she once bought , only once , back when they first got married . But Caleb hadn't drunk a drop , and she eventually stopped buying it . Serena pushed her cart , walking past Caleb and Claire . " How long has it been since you last cooked for me ? Tonight , I must indulge ." Claire's words made Serena halt . Caleb can cook ? She turned around , watching as their two figures drifted further from her , but the distance between them grew closer . So , Caleb knows how to cook ... She never knew . Her hands gripping the cart handle turned white from the pressure . Serena couldn't fathom that Claire , despite being firmly accused of plagiarism , was rewarded with yacht fishing , promotion , a raise , and Caleb personally cooking for her . 13:36 37 > 35 Chapter 35 : Held in Caleb Lockwood's Palm She had initially thought the forced product recall by The Lockwood Group indirectly proved her innocence , and she planned to cook an extra dish to treat herself tonight . But now , that mood and appetite were gone . Serena placed the ingredients back one by one in their original spots , ending up buying just two vegetable buns for dinner . On the other side , Caleb accompanied Claire back to her house and personally cooked a meal of four dishes and a soup , three meat , two vegetables , very nutritious . " I haven't cooked in a while ; my skills have gotten rusty . " Caleb placed the last dish on the table and said to Claire , " Sorry to keep you waiting , Ellie ." Claire froze for a moment , and Caleb then realized . During high school , he always called Claire " Ellie ," but before graduation , Claire suddenly asked him to call her " Claire " from then on . " Sorry , it slipped out . " " That's okay ." Claire's expression was a bit awkward , but she still sweetly leaned closer to Caleb , reaching both hands around to unfasten his apron . " The fact that you are willing to believe I was framed by Serena and FY , and offer me so much compensation , I'm already content . " She nestled her face against Caleb's solid chest . Caleb replied with a faint " Hmm ." The copyright department could only prove FY registered the design patent first , but could not prove who drew it initially . Between Claire Shaw and Serena Jennings , Caleb had no reason to believe the latter . Thinking of Serena , his gaze wandered to the four dishes and soup on the dining table . Light shone from the old house on Vornath Street . 12.30 < 35 Chapter 35 : Held in Caleb Lockwood's Palm Serena finished her vegetable buns and received an audio message from Zhao Sister . Zhao Sister was the store manager of the emerging brand ZM and also a designer herself . " Your group is having a year - end party next week ; stop by after work tomorrow to try the new gown , Ellie ." Serena , as an employee of The Lockwood Group , didn't even know about the year - end party next week , but Zhao seemed to have more insider information . Picking up her phone , she replied : Call me by that name again and I'll cry for you . The next second , Zhao Sister withdrew the audio message . Serena couldn't hold back a chuckle , chatting with Zhao Sister on WeChat while also tapping on Lana Xavier's avatar . In the friend list , Caleb's avatar had been pushed way down . Even though this avatar used to be at the top for her . Serena hadn't blocked Caleb . Caleb hadn't blocked Serena either . But Caleb's avatar probably won't appear on her main screen on WeChat in the future , and she's quite alright with that . After finishing voice chats with Zhao Sister and Lana Xavier , just as Serena was about to sleep , someone else messaged her on WeChat . It was Caleb's avatar appearing on the top screen . Comment 0
