“But you said it yourself, ’used to’,” said Shia as he glanced at Serenity. Although he was talking to Simon, he was looking at John from the corner of his eyes as well. When he saw John’s expression change slightly, the provocation in his eyes grew stronger.
Serenity turned a deaf ear to Shia’s words and walked towards the bed calmly. She placed the fruit basket and flowers on the bedside and said, “Uncle Grant, are you feeling better?”
It had only been three years since Serenity last saw Chris, so she almost could not recognize him. He looked terrible. He was only in his forties, but his hair had already turned gray. His cheekbones were protruding from his flabby face. He looked terribly old.
Chris recognized her at a glance but his tone was not as arrogant as before, sounding more approachable as he said, “Serene, you’re here.”
“I heard that Uncle Grant is sick, so I came to see you,” said she gently.
Serenity didn’t stay in the hospital for too long, only for half an hour before leaving. John left with her but she tactfully rejected his suggestion to have a meal together.
She drove herself there, so she left separately from John.
After all, the Grant and Rivers residences were not in the same direction. When they reached the intersection and she took the turn toward home, she noticed John still following her from the rearview mirror. But there was nothing she could do if he wanted to send her back to the Rivers residence before turning around and leaving.
Gabriel held the document in his hand and frowned. “What happened to her these past two days?”
He had asked her to print out a document but it had many typos on it, a few were quite obvious too. Did she not notice them?
And this wasn’t the first time it had happened recently. During the morning meeting, Caleb had asked her to copy the information of the latest real estate project into the USB drive. Who knew she would copy it into something else, embarrassing Caleb during the meeting?
Caleb didn’t know what was wrong with her either. She wouldn’t say anything even if he asked. “She might be in a bad mood or feeling unwell.”
Gabriel remained silent as he stood up and walked to the shredding machine. He shredded the document into pieces. “Ask her to print a new copy and send it in.”
Caleb walked out of the president’s office and walked to Serenity’s desk. She was holding a calendar and drawing circles on it. He didn’t know what they meant but he had been standing at her desk for three minutes and she had yet to notice.
He knocked on the table and she looked up at him with blank eyes. “Caleb.”
She was completely out of sorts. Caleb asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Her slightly upturned little face regained its spirit and she now looked like a different person from before. “Nothing.”
Seeing that she was unwilling to say it, Caleb decided not to ask further. “There are many mistakes in the document just now. Please edit it carefully and print a copy to send to the president’s office.”
Serenity pulled herself together and opened the file on the computer. She then took the original file from the folder and started to edit it. Only then did she realize how many mistakes she had made.
After she edited it, she printed the document out and sent it to the president’s office. Afraid that Gabriel would get angry because of her mistake at work, she carefully said, “President Jones, there’s definitely no problem this time.”
Gabriel took the document and gave it a quick glance through. Indeed, there were no more mistakes. He casually asked, “What’s going on with you recently?”
After the Gilbert and Rivers families’ engagement was temporarily canceled, he had already helped the Rivers family behind the scenes so it should not be because of that.
Serenity touched her cheek.. Why was everyone asking her? Was she being very obvious?
