Of course, he couldnât possibly be alone. Caleb was right behind him. She walked out of the elevator and nodded slightly. âPresident Jones.â
Gabrielâs gaze swept across her body to her feet. Seeing that she was walking steadily, he said, âBetter?â
âAlmost. Iâll go to work tomorrow.â Today was the last day of her leave period. Even if she did not meet him today, she was going to tomorrow anyway.
âItâs good that you remember.â Gabriel walked past her and entered the elevator.â
The low and magnetic voice did not reveal much emotion. It was like a cello, slow and mellow.
The moment he walked past her, she could feel the slight breeze brush past her, accompanied by the scent of his body. It was clear and mixed with the smell of tobacco. How pleasant.
Serenity arrived at Benjamin Riversâs office. She had already informed Mr. Charlie of her arrival earlier so he was waiting for her. She handed the document to Mr. Charlie and said, âMr. Charlie, is this the right one?â
Mr. Charlie took it and flipped through a page. After confirming that it was what he wanted for the meeting later, he smiled and said, âMiss Serenity, apologies for troubling you. Why donât you hand it over directly to President Rivers? President Grant is here too.â
She wasnât surprised John was here. Putting aside the fact that the two companies had a cooperative relationship, it was completely reasonable for him to appear in Rivers Group since the was Selenaâs husband anyway.
She smiled and said, âI canât. 1 have an appointment.â
After exiting the Rivers Group, she saw Gabrielâs car parked by the roadside. The car window was half rolled down with the manâs hand placed outside the car window. There was a cigarette between his fingers, glowing brightly.
The manâs strong and handsome side profile was like a hand-carved statue. The smoke ring left his cold and thin lips like fog.
She wouldnât think that he was waiting for her. But since she didnât drive here, she walked to the side of the road, ready to hail a taxi.
Suddenly, two honks came from behind her. She looked back and saw the car slowly gliding toward her.
After Gabriel finished his last puff, he gracefully extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it out of the car. His deep voice sounded slightly hoarse as he said, âGet in the car.â
Although his tone was indifferent, it carried an order that could not be refuted.
She was still on leave today. Why should she listen to him?
She frowned and wanted to refuse, but after working for him for three months, she also understood his temper.
Most men could be persuaded but not forced, but this man would not have either. He made his own decisions.
He probably hadnât met the person who could move his heart yet. Otherwise, why would he still behave like this?
Such a man was so shrewd that it was hard to fathom him.
Fortunately, she was not his opponent in the business world. Otherwise, if she met such a powerful opponent, she would probably have a headache every day.
She went around and opened the car door. The air conditioner was on in the car, so it was very cool, contrasting well with the furnace-like heat outside.
She closed the car door and Caleb started the car immediately. He did not say where he was going or that he was going to send her back.
âWhere are we going?â She turned to look at Gabriel.
But Gabriel did not say anything. He looked straight ahead, his exquisite side profile smooth and firm, his thin lips pursed slightly.
The car stopped at a teahouse which was built in a very retro style. There were two red lanterns hanging outside. Even the floor was made of wood. The style was quiet and elegant as the place had a faint smell of sandalwood.
Serenity followed Gabriel out of the car and looked at the teahouse in front of her.. âWhat are we doing here?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
