PopularNovelChapter 184 Chris had been a mid-level employee at Amber Group for years.
The company had been filled with people who got in through connections, but stasks still required real expertise.
Chris had been the unlucky one, excelling in his work and handling major responsibilities single-handedly. That was why Serena had chosen to keep him.
Now, Chris watched as the office was filled with new equipment.
Adjusting his glasses, he reminded her, "So what if you fill this place up again? It's just a shiny facade covering a crumbling foundation.
"Amber Group has no projects. Sooner or later, all of this will be sent back where it cfrom. Ms. Jansen, all you're doing is just a desperate struggle." Serena chuckled instead of getting angry.

He had joined Amber Group straight out of college. He knew the company better than any of those hired through connections.
He had no real roots in this city, but Amber Group had given him a stable footing over the years. Even if it was full of connection and people looked down on him, he had at least carved out a place for himself here.
As long as Amber Group stood, he didn't want to leave. He was struggling too. Serena saw through him and smiled. "Want to take a chance on me?" Chris lifted his head.
The evening sunlight streamed through the glass windows, illuminating Serena's confident smile. Behind her, the workers were still moving in the new equipment.
There was new blood, new equipment, and the promise of a new future.
His gaze slowly shifted past her, landing on the massive "Amber Group" sign behind her.
He thought that maybe it was worth one last gamble.
As the sun set, the new equipment and staffing adjustments at Amber Group were finally settled.
Serena still had two sets of accounts left to review. She waved at Alicia and Chris.
"You two can head home. I'll leave once I'm done." There was no point in making them stay late when there was nothing urgent. Knowing her well, Alicia simply said goodbye and left without a second thought.
As a seasoned professional, Chris chose to linger a bit longer. But he was eventually sent hby Serena, who claimed he was blocking her view.
By the tshe finished going through the accounts, the sky outside was pitch black. She left the building alone.
As she walked past the lobby, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and noticed that her foundation wasn't blending well. She pulled out a compact mirror to check her makeup Before she could reach for her powder, she spotted a figure in the reflection. A shadowy figure stood outside the glass windows, staring straight at her.

She pretended to calmly touch up her makeup, noticing the man's gazen growing more intense. She studied him closely. The man looked familiar. He resembled Bryan, Rachel's younger brother.
She had never met Bryan in person, but Rachel had mentioned him countless times. And when she was going through Amber Group's records, she had seen his resand employee photo on the HR list. What was he doing here this late? Was he planning to get back at her? Staying alert, she took the elevator straight down to the underground parking lot.
As soon as she got into her car, another Mercedes-Benz nearby suddenly lit up. "It's way too obvious." Serena buckled her seatbelt, turned the wheel, and drove off. As expected, the Mercedes-Benz followed.
Just as she exited the parking lot, she deliberately made a wrong turn into a Cheng dead-end alley. She pretended to reverse. The moment the Mercedes-Benz saw her backing up, it sped toward her.
