Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the time Serenity regained her senses, Gabriel had already left.
Caleb drove the car to the banquet hall. Then, he helped Serenity into the car. Gabriel’s black Maybach was parked outside too.
She opened the door to the front passenger seat and felt that something was wrong the moment she sat in it. She turned around and saw Gabriel sitting in the backseat. He was typing rapidly on his laptop with two fingers.
It was true that men at work were the most charming.
With his head lowered and his eyes focused on his screen, Gabriel’s thin lips started to purse into a line. His angular face was calm and indifferent while a strand of hair playfully hung over his forehead, making his forehead look even more plump and smooth.
Why was he in the car?
Serenity immediately realized that this car was his, so it was reasonable for him to be in there with her.
She turned to look at Caleb, who had just gotten into the car, and asked him what Gabriel was up to.
Caleb shrugged. Since the person in question was right behind him, he didn’t say anything and drove out of the resort.
Tomorrow was the weekend and the staff of Zephyr Group could experience the resort for two days for free. Even though it was hot, many people were still strolling around with umbrellas.
Everyone recognized Gabriel’s car. When his car passed by, people would turn their heads to look.
Although the car’s glass window could not be seen from the outside, Serenity was sitting in the front passenger seat. The windshield was transparent, so others could see everything inside clearly.
If others saw her in Gabriel’s car, who knew how they would add fuel to the fire and spread rumors?
“Stop the car!” Serenity suddenly shouted.
Caleb was confused, but he still stopped the car. She got out of the car, opened the back door, and got in.
Gabriel, who was busy dealing with emails, heard the sound of the car door closing. He cast a sidelong glance at her before returning his attention to the laptop.
The car left the resort and was stopped by someone. Caleb glanced at the woman in a light green dress in front of him and frowned. He turned around and said to Gabriel, “President Jones, Miss Sawyer would like a ride.”
Gabriel’s hand paused over the keyboard. Then, he closed the laptop and placed it on the side. He frowned, looking displeased.
When Serenity heard that Linda had stopped the car, she immediately slid further down her seat. She and Linda were almost more acquaintances than friends. She was avoiding her not because she was afraid that Linda Sawyer would see her in Gabriel’s car and their relationship would become strained because of that, but because she did not want to cause trouble.
Her face ended up buried between Gabriel’s legs. She didn’t realize the implications of her movements but Gabriel froze in an instant.
Just as he w^as about to lift her by her collar, there w^as a knock on the car window. He f rowmed slightly and rolled down the window. He looked at Linda from the corner of his eyes and indifferently said, “What’s the matter?”
Linda had already thought of an excuse before she stopped the car. Looking at the well-defined man in front of her, she put on a generous smile. “President Jones, it’s not easy to get a taxi here. Can you give me a ride?”
The resort was located in the southern suburbs of the city. It was indeed not easy to get a taxi in this place, so Linda’s excuse w^ere flawless.
Although Gabriel w^as born into an aristocratic family and had the elegance and nobility he should have, he did not have the demeanor of a gentleman.
Or rather, he would never use w^aste his gentlemanly demeanor on an irrelevant person.
He glanced at her coldly with his deep eyes and sneered. “Miss Sawyer, didn’t you come with President Sawyer?”
Linda smiled elegantly, her slightly made-up face looking more beautiful. “My dad has something to do, so he’s leaving in a separate direction..”
