Chapter 391: A Rich Lady Is Just Different
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She took a sip from the glass of water. Since they were already married, there would always be a chance for her to meet the aunt in the future.
Still, since she was angry at him for acting on his own and Gabriel was not someone who would admit his mistake or apologize first, the couple did not speak to each other for the rest of the day – they simply minded their own business and nonchalantly ignored each other.
Gabriel rested at home for a week before going back to work. Once he did, only Serenity and Mrs. Winstead were left at home.
One day after lunch, Serenity drove to the cafe at which she had agreed to meet Sam.
It had been a week since they last met and Sam seemed to have become a lot more dispirited. But when he saw her, his usual cheeky smile returned. “A rich lady is indeed different. I would never dare dream of driving a car like this in my entire life.”
Indeed, Serenity was driving a luxury car worth millions. He hadn’t even saved enough money to wed a wife yet. Such was the difference between people of two financial standings.
Serenity sat opposite him and placed her handbag next to her before calling a waiter over to order a cup of coffee. After the waiter left, she said, “You knew?” “Know what?” Sam held back his laughter.
And Serenity instantly knew he was teasing her. Since he already knew her identity, she decided not to hide it anymore. “As Mrs. Jones, wouldn’t driving a car like a Beetle QQ.be a slap to Gabriel’s face?”
“That’s true.” Sam nodded in agreement.
The waiter arrived with their order and Serenity thanked him as she stirred her cup with a small spoon. “Why did you ask me out today?”
“Can’t I treat you to a cup of coffee as a friend?” Sam took a closer look at her and saw that the rosiness had returned to her face. Her complexion had improved as well. He knew her body had almost recovered.
“Really?” Serenity looked at him suspiciously. There was obvious disbelief in her eyes.
“Hey, hey, Serene.” Sam felt uncomfortable under her intense gaze and decided to be frank. “I just wanted to see if you’re feeling better.”
“I can eat, drink, and sleep,” said she, relaxed.
Even though he had spoken to her over the phone two days ago and she had told him that she was fine, he was only able to feel relief after seeing her today. “So, not only are you married to President Jones, but you also have a child. You’ve done a good job keeping this a secret. As former colleagues, I can’t believe you hid it from me. My heart is about to break into pieces.”
A fake pained expression immediately followed on Sam’s face, and he made sure to make it as exaggerated as he could be as if he had been abandoned.
“I’ll definitely send you an invitation when the wedding is held.” Serenity smiled naturally without any guilt. “Oh right, it’s Wednesday today. Don’t you have to go to work?”
Sam’s expression turned awkward as he picked up his coffee for a sip.
Serenity remembered the time when she interviewed Mayor Hall at the resort. He was amazed by the beauty of the place and even said that he would save up his annual leave to stay for a few days after the resort opened. After all, there was a 20% discount for the first three days post-opening, be it accommodation or food.
“Didn’t you just take annual leave?” She looked at him, wondering.
Sam was momentarily stumped before he said, “Since you’ve already guessed that I am slacking off, don’t expose me. It’ll be embarrassing for me.”
Serenity burst out laughing. “Be careful. If Ms. Lewis finds out, your bonus will be gone.”
“She’s not clairvoyant,” said Sam, scoffing.
The two chatted for about half an hour. Once they finished their coffee and were about to leave, Serenity rushed to pay the bill. But Sam glared at her so she could only remain silent. Sam placed the money on the table and the two left the cafe..
