Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife By Lil’ Bamboo Chapter 53

Chapter 53

In fact, at first, it was almost impossible for her to find any job that would enable her lo stand on her own two feet at all. “But you still shouldn’t waste your time staying in this kind of job,” said Xyla. “If you go on like this, you’ll never find a nice man to marry!”

For a woman like Xyla, what concerned her the most was marriage and how to find a suitable match.

“It looks like Peter doesn’t mind your past,” she continued, “so are you really not going to consider him? You can’t find many honest and decent men like him these days, you know.”

“No,” replied Serenity. “I can’t possibly be in a relationship with Peter.”

Xyla paused for a moment before exclaiming, “Serenity! You aren’t rejecting him because he’s just a driver, are you? Granted, he’s not a rich man, especially when compared to your ex–boyfriend, but…”

“Xyla!” Serenity interrupted her. “That’s not what I thought at all! I just.. I’ve been through so much, and I really have no desire to fall in love with anyone ever again”

“Sally girl!” Xyla sighed “Haven’t you considered that if you stay single for the rest of your life, you’d regret it later? You may be fine now, but when you grow old, you’ll be miserable because you’d have no children by your side. You have no idea how unbearable it will be when you’re all alone!”

Children… Serenity smiled wryly. The thought of having her own family sounded like an outlandish fantasy now.

After a whole day of working, Serenity and Xyla started to pack up all their cleaning tools and headed back to the Sanitation Office. When they were returning the tools, Serenity did not see Quinn Fender, the woman who had been terrorizing her every chance she got, anywhere in the office, but just as she was about to go wash her hands, she noticed Quinn standing next to Peter near the sink

“Don’t you know that Serenity used to be in prison?!” she heard Quinn assert angrily. “Why the hell would you want to wait for a woman like that? Am I even worse than a jailbird in your eyes?!”

“Will you shut up about her having been in prison already?!” Peter countered with displeasure. “It was an accident! She didn’t mean to harm anyone!”

“She was drunk driving!” Quinn argued. “That means she meant to harm people! She’s clearly just a slt who’s trying to seduce you!”

“Then I’ll gladly be seduced!” Peter snapped back.

Hearing that these two were talking about her, she instinctively tried to avoid them, but before she could leave, Quinn suddenly noticed her and yelled, “Serenity, you shameless b*tch! You were eavesdropping, weren’t you?”

Serenity sighed and stopped in her tracks. Meanwhile, Peter appeared awkward and embarrassed when he saw Serenity there.

“This Sanitation Office is a public place,” Serenity calmly said, “and I only came here to wash my hands, not to listen in on anyone’s private conversation. If you’re so worried about people overhearing you, you should’ve found yourselves a room and closed the door before you started talking.”

“You…” Quinn gave Serenity a death stare. Before she walked away, she threatened, “Just wait and see what’s coming for you!”

Serenity’s face was mildly flushed red. She had heard the exact same threat more than a few times before in prison.

Peter looked at Serenity with slight embarrassment before telling her, “Don’t take whatever she said just now to heart.”

“I won’t,” she replied.

Sering that she had bumped into him now, Serenity decided that she should take the opportunity to talk to him and settle the imatter once and for all.

“Anyway, I hope you’ll stop wasting your time on me from now on. The fact is, she’s right. I used to be in prison. I’m not at suitable match for you.”

“But I don’t mind it,” he assured her hastily. Seeing her suspicious eyes, he added, “I.. I know that you’re a good person, Serenity, so I really don’t care that you’ve been in prison before.”

As he spoke, he started to blush again while the memory of his first time seeing Serenity flashed in his mind.
