Chapter 128: She Was So Stupid
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Serenity limped from the parking lot to the ceremony venue. The ribbon-cutting event was already over and Gabriel was about to give a speech on stage.
She finally reached the crowd and looked on with the others.
With his suit and leather shoes, he looked dashing as he spoke in an orderly manner. The sun shone on his body, making him look tall and straight. The banner behind him read, ‘Congratulations on the Official Opening of Camdell Resort’.
The celebration banquet was arranged at the resort’s grand hall. After the ceremony, the guests went over accordingly.
Serenity endured the pain in her ankle and slowly walked behind the crowd.
Linda had been searching for Serenity in the crowd. When she saw who she had been looking for, Linda’s eyes darkened and she walked toward Serenity.
“Serenity, I’m sorry. I lost the thing you asked me to give to President Jones.”
No wonder Gabriel’s speech on stage was different from what she had written.
She thought that he had added a few points in at the last minute, but she did not expect that the speech had never been delivered to him.
Fortunately, Gabriel had given a few speeches in the past so he was able to improvise smoothly.
If they messed it up, everyone’s hard work over the past few days would be in vain.
Even if Gabriel did not chase her away, she would be too embarrassed to stay in Zephyr.
When Serenity did not say a word, Linda pouted. “1 really didn’t do it on purpose. I’ve been looking for it for a long time but I can’t find it.”
Since the opening ceremony had ended successfully, there was no need for that. She smiled slightly and said, “It’s okay. It’s not something important.”
When everyone had entered the hall, Linda supported Serenity and asked, “Shall I send you to the hospital?”
It was just a sprained ankle, not a serious injury. Serenity shook her head. “No, there’s no need for that. Let’s go in.”
When the ceremony was about to end, John’s phone rang. He found a quiet place to answer the phone. It seemed that there was a problem with a part of the new project, so he was on the phone for quite some time.
After the call, the ceremony was over. He walked towards the hall and saw Serenity limping.
“What’s wrong with your foot?” asked he.
John’s sudden appearance caught Serenity off guard. She looked at him in shock and forgot to answer him.
Linda smiled and greeted him, “President Grant.”
John glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and nodded slightly in response. Then, his gaze fell on Serenity’s abnormal right foot.
“A sprain?”
When she heard his voice again, she came back to her senses. She lowered her head with an unnatural expression and let out a soft hum of affirmation.
Linda was very beautiful, so many men would flock to her. However, Gabriel did not give a damn about her, and now, John did not look at her either.
This was a serious blow to her as she had always been confident with her face and figure.
John bent down to check on Serenity’s foot injury. Just as his hand touched her foot, she flinched and took half a step back.
John looked up at her and the emotions in his dark eyes were unclear. Since she was a little resistant, he was about to say something but then changed his mind. He looked back at her foot again.
Serenity lowered her eyes and looked at the man bent over at her foot.
His hair was as black as satin. From her line of sight, she could see his smooth forehead and well-defined facial features.
Her gaze gradually became absent-minded as she recalled the past.
In the past, whenever she was hurt even a little, his heart would ache for a long time. He was afraid that she would not learn her lesson and hurt herself again, so he would always reprimand her with a straight face.
“Why are you so stupid? You should be more careful or you might not be able to get married..”
