When Gabriel did not speak for a long time, Sulia could not hold it in anymore. âLinda and I happened to pass by the company, so we came up to see you.
âThis is Mrs. Ruthâs daughter, Linda.â She pulled Linda forward to introduce her to Gabriel.
Linda lowered her head slightly and stole a glance at the man behind the desk. The heater in the office was turned on, so he was only wearing a white shirt. His nose was high and sharp and his face was cold yet bright. Gabriel was truly an unbelievably handsome man.
Sulia placed a hand on her waist to give her a sign. Linda stopped imagining things and greeted Gabriel openly. âHello, President Jones. Iâm Linda. Do you still remember me?â
Gabriel looked at her calmly and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up.
Linda felt extremely happy at the sight of his smile. âMadam Jones and I must have disturbed your work today. Please donât be angry.â
The consideration in her tone made it seem like she was very sensible and Suliaâs impression of her increased and she cast Linda an appreciative look.
Gabrielâs smile deepened but it also grew colder. âMiss Linda, Iâm so busy with work every day so 1 donât usually remember every woman who clings to me. However, 1 remember you. Do you want to know why?â
Linda was no longer happy upon hearing his words. She even felt embarrassed for a moment because he had essentially called her one of the women who clung to him.
Even so, she still wanted to know what he was going to say next. Was there something special about her?
If that was the case, then as long as she grasped the opportunity and displayed this special trait, she might be able to win his favor.
âWhy?â asked Linda shamelessly.
âBecause youâre the woman whoâs still shamelessly pestering me after Iâm married.â Gabriel sneered coldly the moment he spoke.
Linda was in shock. Him? Married?
Impossible. Such news would have been announced far and wide but all the major media outlets by now. Yet, nothing as such had happened.
He must have made up an excuse to get rid of her.
She looked at Sulia, hoping the latter could reassure her his words were not true.
Unfortunately for Linda, Sulia nodded helplessly, unable to bear seeing Lindaâs dejected expression.
Before they came, Sulia had tested Lindaâs feelings for Gabriel. When Linda made it explicit that she liked Gabriel very much, Sulia no longer had any hesitation to bring Linda to meet with Gabriel immediately.
Besides, since Gabriel and that woman got married so quietly, no one would know if they ended up getting a divorce.
Suliaâs casual nod shocked Linda. Gabriel was married!
This news exploded in her heart like thunder, making Linda feel uneasy.
She had finally managed to convince her mother to befriend Sulia Silver just so that she could find her way back to Gabriel.
Her determination motivated her to spend the past few days trying to please Sulia just to get one step closer to becoming Mrs. Jones. Now, she was told that Gabriel had gotten married!
How could she accept this shocking news so easily?
Now that she thought about it, she realized that Gabrielâs first words to her earlier were spoken to humiliate her.
Her face instantly turned pale. The heavy humiliation made her eyes turn red and tears started to well up.
Gabrielâs cold gaze landed on her again. âEven a married man is willing to advise you properly like this. Are you unable to hold your composure even in a situation like this?â
âGabriel!â Sulia snapped.
Gabriel shifted his gaze to look at his mother. Her eyes were warning him but Gabriel simply sneered back silently.
Linda bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying. She must have bit it too hard because her beautiful lips had turned white..
