And despite both now safe and sound, the fear still lingered within him.
He closed his eyes and realized that he had never felt this way since that person left six years ago.
He had not lost control for many years.
This was a bad sign.
Although there were many bruises, Gabriel’s injury was not serious. It was just a cut. After cleaning his wound, Serenity wrapped his hand with a layer of gauze before bandaging it up briefly.
While Gabriel and Serenity were lost in their thoughts, the construction team was terrified and panicking because their boss encountered an accident at the construction site.
This was especially so for William since he was in charge of this project. He cautiously said, “President Jones, do you want to go to the hospital for a full-body checkup?”
Gabriel did not answer him and instead asked, “Why would pieces of steel suddenly fall from above? Is there a problem with the equipment?”
William noticed Gabriel’s sullen face and felt even more uneasy. “I’ll go check it out now.”
William left the resting area and was secretly grateful that Miss Rivers was fine. If President Jones had risked his life to save her just now, then their relationship was not as simple as that of a superior and subordinate. If anything were to happen to Miss Rivers, William would be lucky to get away with resigning from his position.
Mr. Lang came back with a few people, all of them carrying light meals in their hands to be distributed to the leaders.
It was true that Gabriel did not fancy Jonan City’s food, and after that ordeal earlier, he had completely lost his appetite.
Gabriel had spare clothes in his car which Caleb brought over. As there was no bathroom where they were, Caleb fetched over a basin of water for Gabriel to wash up quickly before changing into a set of clean clothes.
When he opened the door of the rest area, he saw Serenity standing outside the door with her head hung low, feeling guilty. She had not washed up yet and was still covered in dust. She looked as if she was about to be abandoned and it was hard not to feel sad just from looking at her.
Serenity did her best to apologize sincerely by saying, “President Jones, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come.”
No matter what her motive for coming was, it was a fact that Gabriel was injured because of her.
“Let’s go back to the hotel.” Gabriel was relatively calm.
Serenity nodded and then hesitantly said, “You should stay for your lunch. I’ll make you dinner tonight.”
Gabriel remained silent as Serenity left. Then, he joined the others for lunch. When he opened the packed food, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still endured it and took two bites.
Serenity hailed a taxi back to the hotel. Before she got into the car, she patted the dust off her body, but she could still see that she was in a sorry state.
The driver saw her unkempt hair and dirty face and wanted to say something but hesitated.
Sitting in silence, Serenity decided to close her eyes and rest. The driver looked at her again from the rearview mirror and wondered if she had been robbed. Serenity knew the driver was itching to know what happened to her but she was too tired to explain.
Serenity finally arrived at the hotel. She paid for the taxi and went straight to her room without waiting for the driver’s change.
After a nice shower, Serenity came out of the bathroom, sat on the sofa, and turned on the television while drying her hair.
The latest news flash showed a charity event and the camera landed on a man and a woman. The man was handsome, wearing a classic white shirt and a black high-end custom-made suit. He looked quite elegant..
