Chapter 360: Trapped

Chapter 360: Trapped

Li Na stuttered. “W-what are you saying, Mr. Chen? Father…I don’t get you.”

Jianyu narrowed his eyes and his smile turned cold. “You heard me correctly.”

Hu Zhu also turned a little uncomfortable. When Jianyu saw his uneasiness, he felt strangely satisfied.

Serena gazed at Jianyu for a long time. Her heart started to palpitate faster and faster in her chest.

She didn’t think that Jianyu would reveal it to the clients, jeopardizing the deal. Her chest fluttered with warmth.

Jianyu smiled. “You have quite the guts to call my child illegitimate. People will mock him? Do you think anybody can challenge my child’s status?”

Li Na looked at Serena, stunned.

S-she is pregnant with Chen Jianyu’s child?

If Serena had said it, then Li Na would have just called her crazy to claim that he was the father.

But Jianyu himself declared that the child is his. What was more to say?

Suddenly, all the words and the mockery she said regarding Serena’s boyfriend came flashing to her.

Her cheeks turned red in embarrassment. She was utterly ashamed.

I disdained their relationship in front and his child in front of the father himself who is none other than Chen Jianyu!

Such a dignified man…He had everything anyone would possibly want. Fame, wealth, looks, prestigious family…and this woman is carrying his child.

Li Na couldn’t help but feel envious of Serena.

“I…I…”

Even Hu Zhu’s hopes crashed in an instant. He found Serena very appealing and felt a different charm in her.

It wasn’t love but a sort of crush.

And Jianyu just KO’ed both Li Na and Hi Zhu in an instant with his declaration.

Both of their budding hopes burnt into ashes.

Li Na suddenly got up. “I apologize Mr. Chen. I had no idea that…”

“I am the father?” He snickered. “Leave. Don’t waste my time.”

“But…”

“Didn’t you hear what I said?” He banged his fist on the desk and Li Na stepped back, startled.

Not only she lost the chance to work with Jianyu, now she even wondered if he would do more to take revenge because she insulted his unborn child.

Why would Jianyu let it go?

Hu Zhu said, “I apologize on Li Na’s behalf. We understand your decision. We will leave.”

Li Na didn’t want to and she kept on trying to talk to him but he was already dragging her away.

“Oh and by the way…” Jianyu suddenly spoke in between and they stopped.

Li Na felt a glimmer of hope.

“I hope that extra sweetness in the coffee better rinse your bitter mouth.”

Serena instantly coughed. She looked away in embarrassment.

Li Na froze. She couldn’t believe that he allowed Serena to trick her.

So she did that on purpose! She gritted her teeth.

At first, he talked a bit rudely to Serena but now he was spoiling her. His smile gave a sense of indulgence in it towards her.

Chen Jianyu allowed her to treat Chen Corps clients like that. Their relationship wasn’t simple.

There was nothing more to say so Hu Zhu dragged her away. He glanced one last time at Serena and sighed.

Silence in the office. There were only Serena and Jianyu left.

She peeked at him. The dangerous aura that surrounded him a few minutes ago seemed to dissipate. The tension in between his brows was starting to ease out.

Serena couldn’t help but smile. Jianyu abruptly stood.

He coldly looked at her. “Why are you smiling?”

Serena shook her head. “Jianyu. You knew I would do something to take my revenge so you purposely sent me to make coffee, right?”

“You are thinking too highly of yourself.”

Jianyu narrowed his eyes and grabbed her arm. He pulled her towards him.

“Say the truth now. Why are you here?”

Serena frowned. “I already told you. Mr. Chen Guiren called me here. He asked my help for feedback.”

He silently bore his gaze in her.

“I am not scared of you because I am not lying.”

She took out her phone. “See his name in my call log? If you don’t believe me then you can call him yourself.” She harrumphed.

Jianyu suddenly felt annoyed at his father.

Seriously, what was Dad thinking?

“Whatever. Now, get out. There is no need for you to be here.”

He went back to his seat and started to flip through the documents, completely ignoring her.

Serena pursed her lips.

This is such a good chance to be with him. But why would he let me stay here?

She stood for a few moments in hope of him stopping her.

Jianyu shot a glare at her. “Do you need me to escort you out?”

Serena bit her lip. “Fine! I am going.”

“So heartless…” she muttered so that Jianyu could hear and he did.

A vein popped on his head.

Ignore. Ignore that woman.

When Serena twisted the knob of the door, it didn’t budge.

Hm?

She twisted a few times more but the door didn’t open.

Is it stuck?

She sighed. She turned. “Um Jianyu…The door isn’t opening.”

“Will you stop giving excuses! I know you don’t want to leave.” Jianyu furiously said. “Don’t get too happy just because Dad called you here.”

Serena rolled her eyes. “Alright. Then why don’t you try opening the door?”

Jianyu was getting impatient. He wanted her out of his sight as quickly as possible.

He got up to her side and tried to open the door. But just like she said, it didn’t budge.

Serena put her hands on her waist. “See! Didn’t I tell you?”

Jianyu ignored her and called the security. But nobody picked up his call.

Huh?

What is the matter? This never happened before.

Jianyu tried every department’s landline but not a soul picked up his call.

“What the hell!”

He had no idea what was going on.

Has everybody already left?

He looked at the time. It was six in the evening. Well, it was the time for almost all the employees to leave but the security should be definitely present, he thought. Not all departments completely shut down.

He was unable to reach anybody. Just then his laptop dinged with a message.

‘Chen Corps is now in lockdown mode for automatic electrical and safety maintenance. All rooms and offices are successfully shut. It opens tomorrow at seven am.’

Jianyu read the message in shock.

Lockdown mode? Why wasn’t I informed about it?

I am still stuck here!

It was impossible to get out from the office once the lockdown mode was activated. It was an automatic process which was scheduled at regular intervals.

He tried the emergency button but no response.

Such an important news…All the employees knew and left and I, the CEO, am unaware about it? Nobody even called me!

Serena saw him distressed and didn’t what went wrong.

“Um…”

Jianyu didn’t pay attention to her and called Chen Guiren. “Dad! Why is Chen Corps in lockdown mode? When was the maintenance scheduled?”

“Hm, you didn’t know? There might be miscommunication in the system.”

His brow twitched.

Miscommunication where everyone except him knew?

“Dad, I’m stuck here in the office. Call somebody to get me out. Nobody is picking up my calls.”

“Hello?… Jianyu? I cannot hear you.”

Suddenly, there was some disturbance in the call.

“Dad…Hello Dad?”

The call cut. He tried again but silence again.

So am I stuck with Serena for the entire night!?
