Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 403

Serena pressed her lips together.

So, was this Hugh's way of letting more people come to know her mother's name?

Art and design often crossed paths, so collaborations between the two industries were common. And this gesture—it was Hugh's way of showing he cared.

"Alright," she said softly. "I'll follow his arrangements."

"Please follow me," Holly said warmly, leading her inside.

Outside, one of the associates was still holding the black card, speaking quietly with the assistant manager.

"A black card even covers limited editions for free?"

"Of course not!" The assistant manager scoffed. "Not even royalty gets limited editions for free. That was Mr. Hugh. He called just now to cover the cost.

"It's between husband and wife, so don't go blabbing. Mr. Hugh isn't someone you want to cross."

While he was at it, the assistant manager gave the whole staff a stern warning to keep this under wraps.

Cole, who was waiting near the entrance with Sarah, caught snippets of the conversation.

His gaze darkened slightly. So, his uncle liked Serena, huh? Too bad that affection only went so far—just enough to buy her gifts and dresses.

After her fitting, Serena even made time to head back to the office for a quick meeting. By the time she clocked out, the sky was painted in sunset hues.

She arrived at the Nebula Design event dressed in a deep green silk evening gown with elegant embroidery. A soft rabbit-fur shawl rested on her shoulders—perfect for a breezy rooftop evening party.

The outfit made her bright eyes even more striking. With her delicate jaw occasionally tucked into the fur collar, the sharpness she normally carried softened into something unexpectedly charming.

Serena was starving.

Scanning the venue for food, she realized that, for a gathering of designers and collectors, there wasn't much to eat. There were hardly any cookies or desserts in sight. With a sigh, she settled for a glass of juice.

Then, she looked around.
