The Ex Wife They Begged To Keep - Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Chapter 246 All the employees around them were staring now, and even Winnie felt embarrassed. "Just let me in. Can't we talk inside?" Winnie bit her lip, clearly flustered, but James still shook his head firmly. "Sorry, Mr. Brannon is busy right now and doesn't have time to see you." Just as James finished speaking, the elevator nearby opened and Serena stepped out, walking straight toward Keith's office. "Serena." James' expression softened the moment he saw her. Serena nodded at James and said gently, "I need to go in. Is Mr. Brannon busy?" "Go right ahead," James said.

James didn't even need to ask. He knew Keith would never turn Serena away. As Keith's closest work assistant, he was well aware of their relationship. But Winnie completely lost it. Winnie grabbed Serena's arm and yelled at James, "Why is Keith always busy when I want to see him, but suddenly free when Serena shows up? You're all just picking on me!" James sighed, "Ms. Banks, don't you get it? I speak for Mr. Brannon. He doesn't want to see you outside of work, and he wants you to focus on your job when you're here, not other things." This was the bluntest rejection possible.

Nobody could handle Winnie's constant harassment anymore. Serena frowned and freed her arm, while Winnie's face turned red with anger. She pointed at James, then at Serena. Winnie yelled, "Fine! You're all ganging up on me. Now I finally see what's going on. Keith's no better than the rest of you, leading this workplace bullying against me!" Serena had been keeping her temper in check, but seeing Winnie act like a victim pushed her over the edge. "You think you're being bullied?

But how much trouble have you caused since you got here?" Seeing even the usually sweet-tempered Serena snap at Winnie like this, James stayed quiet and watched her handle it. "What trouble did I cause?" Winnie asked. "You standing here is trouble enough," Serena sneered. Winnie pointed her finger at Serena, getting more worked up by the second. Serena didn't hesitate to slap her hand away, her eyes turning ice-cold. Serena said coldly, "If nobody's ever told you this before, let me teach you-pointing at people is rude and shows bad manners." Winnie was so angry she couldn't find words.

Her lips trembled, and after a long moment, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. She cried, "Dad! Someone's bullying me at Brannon Creative Group." Nobody expected Winnie to call her parents the second things didn't go her way. Serena caught James' eye and frowned. Winnie whined into the phone for a while, then hung up with a smug look on her face. She crossed her arms. "My dad's gonna text Keith Ha! You think you can mess with me?" rn him. 'This could get messy.' Serena thought. She took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "I'm the one who called you out, not the whole company.
