Gabriel turned his head to look at her and raised his eyebrows. “Are you trying to help me find your successor?”
She was speechless, glancing at Johnson and his assistant. When they didn’t react, she heaved a sigh of relief.
If Johnson’s assistant heard this, Serenity wouldn’t know how to explain herself.
She could tell that the assistant was eyeing Gabriel with admiration and desire.
When Gabriel saw how relieved she looked, he frowned in confusion. “Is it that embarrassing to be my woman?”
“That’s not it. Johnson’s assistant is interested in you so I’m just afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble.”
The next time she looked up, she saw Johnson’s assistant looking at them. She had only exchanged a few words with Gabriel, but that woman was already watching her. If she found out about their relationship, would she skin Serenity alive?
There was probably an 80%. Not wanting to make an enemy in unfamiliar territory, she inched closer to Caleb to put some distance between herself and Gabriel.
Her actions did not go unnoticed by Gabriel. And though he remained looking indifferent, it was obvious through his eyes that he judged her lack of confidence.
Serenity responded with her eyes as well: ‘I am a coward so don’t pick on me.”
The emcee on stage suddenly turned mysterious when he said, “Here comes our last beauty of the night.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the venue dimmed in an instant, leaving only a beam of light cast on stage. A woman in a red dress descended from the sky. Her curly hair reached her waist and she wore a crown.
She landed lightly on the stage and it was obvious that she had very beautiful facial features. Her red lips shimmered like fire, enchanting and flirtatious. She had a hot figure and the V-necked dress accentuated her snow-white cleavage. Beneath the hair, make-up, and costume, she seemed to be someone from Serenity and Gabriel’s country.
Even Serenity, a woman, acknowledged this woman’s beauty. She had the charm and sexiness of a woman from her country, like a thorny rose.
She must be the finale of the night.
Gabriel, who had been swirling the wine in his glass distractedly, only turned to look at the stage, albeit lazily, when he heard the commotion.
Johnson noticed Gabriel’s attention turning to the stage and waved at his assistant. After whispering a few words into her ear, the assistant nodded knowingly and took a glance at Gabriel before leaving.
The starting bid on the last beauty was very high, and it rose sharply with each bid. The first bid took the price from 5 million to 8 million. In the end, the emcee said, “The last beauty of the night has been claimed by a mysterious winner for ten million.”
A few members of the audience sighed in disappointment.
After the auction ended, Serenity and the others left the bar. The three from Zephyr Group returned to the hotel. The moment Gabriel entered his room, he felt that something was off: the unfamiliar scent of a woman’s perfume wafted into his nostrils.
He turned on the lights in the room and saw a woman lying on the bed. She was the last beauty who had been bought for 10 million.
His dark eyes turned cold. “What are you doing here?”
The woman was still wearing the bright red dress that outlined her curvaceous body. With an extremely charming smile, she asked, “Didn’t you buy me?”
Gabriel immediately knew what had happened and coldly said, “Get out!”
The woman was expecting to serve a fat or old man, but when such a fine man walked in instead, how could she bear to let him go?
