Benjamin Rivers had wanted John to be the guarantor but when he called his son-in-law, Alfred answered instead, saying that John was on a business trip for at least half a month. The following calls to John immediately went to voicemail.
If the bank refused to lend them money, then Serenity would have to marry someone through a business marriage. That was why she came to look for Yanis Linde but did not expect to be rejected twice.
The lobby manager came out of the private room and saw that Serenity was still there. He remembered what President Linde had told him earlier and walked up to her. âMiss, please leave. President Linde doesnât have time to see you.â
But Serenity was not going to go down easily. In all seriousness, she said, âIf heâs not free, I shall wait until he is.â
The lobby manager still had a smile on as he said, âMiss, this is a restaurant. If youâre waiting for someone, please wait elsewhere.â
âThis is the hotel lounge. Besides, I am not obstructing your business. The person Iâm waiting for is your distinguished guest.â
The lobby manager was speechless by her eloquence. His expression changed slightly but he still forced a stiff smile. âAs you can see from just now, President Linde is having a meal with a client. If you need him for something, you can ask him out another day.â
Serenity would if she could, but he didnât want to see her, so this was her best chance of speaking to him. âWill you leave me alone if I dine here?â
The lobby manager did not know what she meant and thought that she was ready to retreat. So, he nodded and said, âYes.â
Serenity picked up her bag and stood up. âAlright then. Get me a private room. I want the room next to President Lindeâs.â
The lobby manager no longer looked pleasant. âMiss, if you donât leave now, 1â11 have to call security to chase you away.â
He didnât know who this woman was, but he definitely couldnât offend President Linde who was a regular here. The lobby manager had to do what he told him to do.
Serenityâs face stiffened. Tm here to eat. What right do you have to chase me away?â
The two parties were about to start arguing when a male voice came from behind them, âMiss Serenity?â
Serenity looked past the lobby manager and saw Joseph Lopez dressed in a white shirt. His left hand was holding his coat while his other hand was intimately hugging a beautiful woman.
She remembered the woman to be Joseph Lopezâs wife, Wanita Sanchez.
Such a charismatically charming couple would attract attention no matter where they went, especially with the Lopezsâ elegant and noble aura.
Seeing that she and Joseph Lopez seemed to know each other, the lobby manager asked, âMr. Lopez, do you know her?â
âA friend.â Joseph Lopez walked forward with his wife in his arms.
Joseph Lopez and his wife had just finished their meal and were leaving when they saw the scene. When he asked about what happened, Serenity briefly explained the reason she was looking for President Linde. Joseph raised his eyebrows when he heard her. âWhy do you have to go through so much trouble? Just go to Gabriel. With him stepping in, President Linde will suck up to you, no questions asked.â
He had misunderstood her relationship with Gabriel Jones so Serenity felt the need to explain to Joseph. âMr. Lopez, I think youâve misunderstood. President Jones is my boss and I am simply his employee.â
A dark glint flashed across Joseph Lopezâs eyes. âThatâs not necessarily true. How would you know if you donât try?â
But Serenity already knew the outcome without even trying. Gabriel would simply say, âWhy should I help Benjamin Rivers?â
It was all about profit in the business world. The Rivers family was already in a precarious situation, and there was no profit to be made. Even if there was, Gabriel Jones would not care about a meager amount, so he would not bother getting involved in this mess..
