Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For the next two days, Gabriel waited patiently for news from the police.
Since they had extra time and it wasn’t easy for Serenity to visit the United States often, she and Robin agreed to meet up at a cafe.
When she arrived, Robin had already arrived. He was sitting by the window and reading the newspaper, donning a white shirt under a silver-gray vest. His hair was combed back, revealing his smooth forehead. Combined with his outfit choice and posture, Robin was looking quite the elegant gentleman.
She approached him and teased him. “Hey, handsome, can 1 sit here?”
Robin looked up with a gentle smile on his face and said, “Of course, you can.”
She pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down happily. “I haven’t seen you for half a year, but you still look the same.”
“How much can a thirty-year-old man change in such a short period of time?” Robin closed the newspaper in his hand and put it back on the shelf next to him. “But you, on the other hand, seem to be smiling more radiantly than before. It seems that you made the right choice to return to your home country this time.”
She touched her face and blinked. “Really? Haven’t 1 always looked like this in the past?”
Robin decided to play along and said, “Well, there’s nothing wrong with that either.”
Since he arrived earlier, Robin had ordered coffee for her in advance. She stirred it with a spoon and changed the topic. “How’s the company recently?”
“Still busy.” Robin picked up his coffee and took a sip. “You have to know that I’ve canceled all my plans just to accompany you today. Don’t you feel honored?”
She smiled sweetly and her pitch-black eyes sparkling. She nodded and said, “It’s my honor.”
Robin could not understand how John Grant could break the heart of a woman like her.
The two chatted for a while, then, Robin took her to Wall Street to see the old Ferris wheel, finally fulfilling her dream.
As she stood under the old Ferris wheel, Serenity made a wish like a teenager.
Robin continued to bring her on a tour around the city brought her around. When it was time for dinner, the two of them ate at the nearest restaurant.
During dinner, Serenity texted Caleb to ask how things were. Caleb replied saying that the forensic doctor’s results were out, but he was not clear about the exact cause of death.
Robin noticed saw her looking at her phone frequently and decided to tease her. “Why? Are you waiting for a call?”
She was indeed waiting for a call, but she knew he was overthinking things judging by the playful sparkle in his eyes, so she told him the whole story.
He didn’t elicit much of a reaction. But when he saw how gloomy she looked, he said, “Your boss will handle it. What are you worried about?”
That was true, but she was also an employee of Zephyr Group.
Wasn’t it normal for an employee to worry about their boss especially when such a situation occurred?
Halfway through their meal, three people walked in. Serenity was facing the door, so she saw that it was Gabriel and two others.
Johnson’s assistant noticed Serenity and made a mention of her to Gabriel. He looked in Serenity’s direction and then away.
She suddenly felt a little guilty, as if she had been caught having an affair. But then, she and Robin were good friends who had been through thick and thin. What was wrong with the two of them having a meal together?
Robin noticed the changes in her expression and followed the direction of her sight. “You know him?”
“Gabriel, my current boss.”
Although she did not specify which among the three was her boss, since the person in the front was the only one who looked different and most similar to her, it was obvious who she was referring to. Furthermore, he had an outstanding temperament, steady and reserved. Robin did not need to ask any further to figure out which among the three was her boss..
