Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 412

To avoid drawing suspicion from the Larson family, Serena followed the maid to Hugh's room.

It looked different from last time. A few books now lay scattered on the table. Fresh flowers brightened the coffee table, and several art prints—mostly impressionistic landscapes—adorned the walls.

The only familiar touch was the contemporary rug, clearly chosen with a woman's taste in mind.

But the couch was still the same narrow two-seater. Was Hugh really going to sleep on that again?

Serena recalled the dark shadows beneath his eyes and felt a twinge of concern.

The maid noticed her slight frown and, mistaking it for dissatisfaction, quickly offered an explanation.

"Mr. Larson still has work to attend to. He'll be staying in the study tonight. But if you have trouble sleeping alone, Mrs. Larson, we can arrange something for you there as well."

"The study?" Serena's brows lifted slightly in surprise as she turned to the maid.

The maid nodded. "Bringing back Mr. Cole's fiancée was a last-minute decision. Mr. Eric and Mr. Larson rushed home and had to put off some work. They'll likely be up late tonight.

"But Mr. Larson has instructed us to prepare a light snack or anything else you might need, in case you can't sleep…"

He didn't even plan to sleep? Even the strongest person would break down at this pace.

Serena instinctively felt a surge of indignation for Hugh. But then again, she reminded herself, she was just an ally. Stepping in to interfere with how things were run in the Larson family might be overstepping her bounds.

After a moment's thought, she sent him a message asking how things were going with work.

He replied instantly, "It's important, but the deadline isn't tonight."

So, he meant it could wait.
