Chapter 38: Developing into a boyfriend
“You’re not going to explain?” Blair looked at Serena up and down, angry. It wasn’t because Serena slept with someone else, but because it was with Penn. They had hung out a few times before, and Blair hadn’t noticed anything, which was a fatal blow to her professional ability as an emotional blogger.
“It’s just as you saw it,” Serena gave up on explaining.
“So, the sleeping partner you mentioned is him?”
“Yes,” she answered truthfully.
Blair was even angrier after hearing her answer.
“Serena, have you lost your mind?” Blair was exasperated.
“I thought it was just once, so I didn’t tell you. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. If you think he’s not suitable, then I won’t let him come again.” Serena absolutely trusted Blair’s ability to judge people in this regard. If Blair thought Penn wasn’t good enough, then he really wasn’t.
Blair was so angry she was about to spit blood.
“I’m saying you’ve lost your mind. You develop a relationship with a high–quality man like him into just sleeping partner? What on earth are you thinking?”
Serena was about to argue back a few words, but Blair interrupted her. “Shut up!” Blair was too lazy to listen.

Finally, she came back to her senses from the shock and began to look for Penn’s figure out of the corner of her eye. As a result…she saw Penn’s back in the kitchen and was shocked again. She stammered and asked Serena, “What is he doing?”
“He’s making breakfast. He’s good at cooking,” Serena replied.
Blair wanted to swear again but held back. Penn had come out of the kitchen and called out to them, “Breakfast is ready.”
Blair immediately changed her expression and walked towards the kitchen with a warm smile. Serena followed behind with her head down like a guilty child. Blair was a shrewd person, and now that Serena’s relationship with Penn had become like this, she didn’t need to ask any more questions. Seeing Penn skilfully pouring hot milk and handing sandwiches to Serena, Blair suddenly remembered that at the Future Better employee cafeteria and the restaurant yesterday, Penn’s first action was always to pour water for Serena, and Serena would just pass it to her.
It turned out that there were already clues!
As she drank her milk and ate her sandwich, she looked at Penn and Serena strangely, with a sinister smile on her face. “Mr. Humphrey, can I hitch a ride with you to Future Better Technology Company later?” she asked proactively. Penn didn’t answer, so it was taken as a default response. After finishing breakfast, Serena took the opportunity while Blair was getting ready to do her makeup and changed clothes to apologise to Penn, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know Blair was

coming. Whatever she said, don’t take it to heart. She didn’t mean any harm.”
“Hmm, what did she say?” Penn asked blandly.
“Nothing, but sometimes her words can be quite cutting,” Serena preemptively defended Blair’s comments as being solely Blair’s personal opinions and having nothing to do with her.
“Do you care about her?” Penn asked.
“Of course, she’s like family to me.”
“Okay, I understand. I’ll take you to the law firm first.”
The three of them got into the car, and Penn dropped off Serena at the law firm across the street. As he watched her disappeared into the revolving doors of the building, he rolled up the car window.
Blair looked at Penn with a smile and tried to test the waters, “Mr. Humphery has fallen in love with my Serena, hasn’t he?”
Penn ignored her and treated her as if she were invisible, focusing on driving with an indifferent attitude, as if to say, “Don’t bother me, I have more important things to do.”
Blair considered herself an expert in matters of the heart, able to judge whether a man’s intentions were genuine or fake with just one glance. But Penn’s deep city tactics left her completely puzzled.
“Good family background, high education, successful career,

high social status. This type of person is the most opportunistic and practical, looking for a partner who is a match in every sense. As for my Serena, he probably just wants her for her beauty and naivety, as a plaything.” Blair cursed Penn in her heart, thinking he was a scumbag.
But on the surface, she showed no signs of her inner turmoil. When it came to matters of the heart, she stuck to her usual theories, “As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone and doesn’t violate any moral principles, it’s all good.
“Moreover, with the conditions of someone like Penn, who has slept with Serena, she has hit the jackpot. Why can’t women sleep with men?
When both of them arrived at Future Better Technology Company during rush hour, as she got out of Penn’s car, passing employees all showed expressions of gossip, ambiguity, or understanding. Previously, it was just rumoured that she was Mr. Humphery’s connection.
But now, it had been confirmed that the two are in a romantic relationship, living together.
As the news spreads, it would only become more exaggerated, from a cohabiting relationship to a relationship on the brink of marriage. “I miscalculated,” Blair thought.
Even if her face was thick–skinned, she could not withstand the envy and passion that erupt from the employees of Future Better Technology Company when they looked at her.
Before this, Future Better Technology Company spread rumours about her relationship with Penn, which she didn’t care about and even used it to gain more resources for

herself.

But now, Penn belonged to her friend Serena, and although her relationship with Serena was good enough to be able to wear the same pants, men still needed to be distinguished.
She applied to be transferred back to her own company, but the boss refused and even urged her with a heavy tone: “We will entrust the heavy task of entering the intelligent
industry to you.
I will promote you immediately to become a partner of the Intelligent Business Division.” A partner?
Love whoever she wanted to love. Being labelled as Penn’s girlfriend at Future Better Technology Company, Blair found it difficult to get off the tiger’s back.
In the afternoon, Serena officially reported to Future Better Technology Company. Julia warmly received her and
personally arranged her workstation and handed over all her work.
During this period, Blair sent her a few messages, but she was too busy to reply and only replied with a voice message: “Blair, I’m a bit busy now. Let’s talk about it when I get back tonight.”
Julia was considerate and said, “Is Miss Abrams looking for you? You can handle her affairs first. We are not in a hurry.” “She’s fine. Let’s continue,” replied Serena.
Serena came to work and had no time to pay attention to
anything else. Whatever messages Blair sent afterwards, she

neither read nor replied to them. It wasn’t until after work that Blair came to wait for her and they walked out together.
When they arrived at the entrance of the building, Penn’s car happened to pass by, and he rolled down the window
And said, “Get in.”
Serena instinctively wanted to refuse, but Blair had already taken the lead and got into the car in front of the public eye, so Serena had no choice but to follow. In the car, Serena was actually thinking about tomorrow’s work arrangements. As the person in charge of communicating with the Justice Law Office, she needed to establish a reasonable process to improve work efficiency, but at this time, she had no idea.
Penn didn’t talk much, and didn’t say much throughout the journey, only Blair spoke a few words from time to time.
