Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No matter how calm Serenity tried to be, she couldn’t stop her cheeks from turning red at their words. The rest of the room looked on in silence before bursting into laughter.
Gabriel’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up at her with a gaze as cold as a sharp blade.
Serenity’s gaze met his and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. The heat on her face quickly faded, and even her hands and feet gradually turned cold.
Calvin glanced at Gabriel and smiled. “I’ve been busy these days and neglected her. She threw a tantrum at me just now and so it took me a while to coax her.”
As soon as he said this, everyone laughed. One of them said, “Women are meant to be coaxed. Ms. Serenity looks gentle and quiet but that doesn’t mean her patience is boundless.”
Gabriel’s eyes darkened and a layer of frost appeared on his face as he lit a cigarette nonchalantly.
Serenity slowly returned to her seat and took a sip of water to hide her embarrassment.
After the meal ended, the group walked out of the restaurant. Calvin Gilbert’s assistant drove his car over. Before getting in, he turned around and looked at Serenity, “Serene, 1’11 send you back.”
Before she could respond, she immediately felt a chill coming from the man beside her. So she quickly said, “President Jones drank alcohol, so 1 have to drive him back.”
Gabriel had only brought her along as his assistant today but she had to drive him back just because he was drunk?
Calvin approached Serenity and touched the top of her head affectionately.
Then, he gently said, “Give me a call when you get home so that I won’t worry.”
‘Worry my a**!’
He was behaving too abnormally tonight.
She had been trembling in fear the entire dinner, afraid that she would anger Gabriel. Yet, Calvin was still eagerly leaning toward her.
Gilbert Group’s situation had just stabilized and yet he was courting death. Serenity’s worries grew.
Serenity eventually retrieved her car from the parking lot. Before she could get out of the car to open the car door for Gabriel, he had already done so himself and sat inside. She glanced at his expression before asking, “President Jones, are you going back to the Jones’s residence?”
There was no warmth in Gabriel’s deep eyes as his cold voice calmly said, “Back to South Bay.”
Serenity wanted to remind him that Madam Jones had called him to return to the mansion but upon seeing his cold expression in the rearview mirror, she decided to keep quiet.
A meal couldn’t be all it took for him to forget about it, right?
When they arrived at South Bay, Serenity alighted from the car and went around to the back to open the car door for Gabriel who stepped out of the car with his straight legs. But just as he did, he immediately turned around and pressed her against the car. “You threw a tantrum with him?”
Serenity cursed Calvin Gilbert silently as she braced herself to meet Gabriel’s deep gaze. “President Jones, even if we’re not engaged yet, we were in a relationship that was leading to it. Isn’t it normal for me to throw a tantrum with him?”
Gabriel’s eyes were tainted with a layer of coldness, turning even more unfathomable. His expression was as indifferent as usual, but there was a deepness in his tone of voice when he said, “So you really lost your temper with him and he had to coax you for a long time?”
She immediately cowered at the sight of his gloomy gaze. Her eyes began to drift around as she softly said, “Do 1 look like the kind of person who would cause trouble…”
It was as if she was acting guilty. The gentle playfulness in her voice only made her more lovable in his eyes as he leaned into kiss her red lips..
