Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mondays were the busiest day of the week, so the staff of the secretariat was occupied the entire day.
When it was time to get off work, Serenity turned off her computer and rolled her head around her neck to ease the soreness. Then, she grabbed her bag and got off work.
Her car had been sent for maintenance, so she had gotten a ride from Benjamin Rivers to work this morning. She stood by the roadside and hailed a taxi but before she could, a luxury car stopped in front of her. Simon stuck his head out of the lowered window. “Serene, where are you going? I’ll send you.”
When she was with John in the past, Simon had harassed her, so she hated him very much. “We’re not that familiar with each other so please call me Ms. Serenity instead,” said Serenity calmly
Simon smiled nonchalantly and glanced at the Zephyr Group building behind her. “Ms. Serenity, did you just get off work? Are you going home now?”
“It has nothing to do with you.” She took a few steps to the side and continued to hail for a taxi.
Just then, a taxi drove over. But before she could react, a man rushed over from behind her and got in. “I’m sorry. I’m in a hurry to pick up my child from school.”
Serenity was flabbergasted. If it was any other time, she wouldn’t have minded it, but she really didn’t want to see Simon, especially after hearing the conversation between Shia and Mrs. Grant. This rascal.
The man’s annoying voice suddenly rang in her ears. “Ms. Serenity, let me send you home. John is your brother-in-law. No matter what, we are related. It is reasonable for me to send you home.”
Without waiting for her to speak, Simon forcefully dragged her to the car, opened the door, and stuffed her in. Then, he went around the front of the car and got in.
Gabriel had just driven out of the parking lot when he saw Serenity being forced into a car by a man. He frowned and drove after Simon’s car.
Serenity searched her handbag in a panic. Just as she took out her phone, Simon reached out and took it away. Then, he looked at her with an evil smile and asked, “Who do you want to call? John? He has to go home to spend time with his wife and children after work, so he probably doesn’t have time to answer your call.”
She had just been caught eavesdropping yesterday, and today Simon ‘bumped’ into her. This was definitely not a simple coincidence.
They probably didn’t know that she had already told John.
“What do you want?” asked she bluntly.
Simon rolled down the window and threw her phone out. “Nothing much. I just want to catch up with you.”
“I have nothing to reminisce about with you!” She sneered as she retorted.
Gabriel had been tailing them. When he saw a white phone tossed out the driver’s window, he frowned and stomped on the accelerator. After passing Simon’s car, he turned the steering wheel and stopped in the middle of the road in a smooth and beautiful arc.
Simon hurriedly slammed on the brakes in fear and the tires shrieked due to the sudden friction.
Serenity closed her eyes in fear, gripping her seatbelt tightly.
Gabriel opened the car door and got out. With long and quick strides, he approached the passenger side of Simon’s car and yanked it open.
When she heard the door on her side open, Serenity opened her eyes and saw the man with a powerful aura in front of her. Her eyes widened in surprise, “Gab-”
Gabriel grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the car before she could say his name in full. Then, he looked at Simon with a dark expression. “Where are you taking her?”
Simon’s face had turned as pale as paper, frightened by the shocking scene on the road. With trembling lips, he only managed to say, “I… I….”
