“I’m sorry,” said Serenity apologetically. “I will convince him to change his mind.”
Sam’s lips curved. Compared to his usual cheeky smile, this one looked a little sad. “You should know better than us what kind of person President Jones is. There’s no room for negotiation when he makes a decision.”
The only time he had interacted with Gabriel was at the resort, so he did not know about his temperament before. He only found out about it from Ms. Lewis after the incident, she naturally found out about it through her younger brother, Xeno Lewis.
Moreover, Xeno had already gone to plead for mercy but the result was the same.
Serenity held the cup of water and did not know what to say. Everything started because of her. Based on the phone conversation with Gabriel earlier, his attitude was very firm, so truthfully, she was not confident to what extent she could convince him otherwise either.
Sam saw the self-reproach on her face and smiled nonchalantly. “Don’t look so sad. If you feel bad about it, you can treat me to this meal as compensation.”
He was the victim and yet he still had to comfort her. Serenity felt sour. “Forget about one meal. I will buy you at least ten meals.”
“Then I’m going to eat a lot today.” Sam waved to the waiter and asked for the menu. He happily flipped through the menu and ordered a few more dishes. He also ordered a fruit platter and dessert after dinner.
Once done, he handed the menu to the waiter who left with the additional orders. Serenity said, “Ah, I forgot to bring my wallet when I left.”
Sam immediately shouted for the waiter who had left: “Waiter, the dishes we ordered just now…”
“Stop it.” Serenity covered his mouth in time as she leaned over the table and smiled apologetically at the waiter who was holding the menu and looking back at them. “Please bring us a pot of tea first.”
“Okay, please wait a moment.” The waiter looked at them suspiciously.
After the waiter left, Serenity let go of Sam. “I lied. Don’t worry and eat your food.”
Sam stared at her. Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the new shop. Otherwise, he would have been so embarrassed today.
After this little scene, the depressing mood between them disappeared. Soon, the waiter arrived with the dishes.
There were eight dishes, a bowl of soup, a fruit plate, and dessert. Everything tasted good so the two finished them all.
Serenity didn’t dare to eat too much, afraid that she would feel uncomfortable otherwise. So she ate until she was 80% full. The rest was taken care of by Sam.
When she saw the empty plate, she gave him a thumbs up in admiration, looking at him as if to praise how awesome he was.
Sam rubbed his round belly. “The food was too good. My life is finally complete.”
Serenity called for the waiter to refill their pot of hot tea. “Now that you’re free from the magazine agency, have you thought about what you plan to do next?”
Since he had eaten quite a lot, Sam leaned back in his seat and didn’t move. “Ms. Lewis plans to open up her own agency and asked me to join her.” “Really?” She paused, slightly surprised.
“Of course, she will start working on it after her foot injury is healed.” Sam continued to rub his bloated stomach, almost as if he was enduring the pain of being too full.
Serenity got up and went to the washroom. When she was washing her hands, she accidentally wet her sleeves so she wiped them with a tissue before coming out of the washroom.
Just as she did, she almost bumped into someone. Serenity was about to apologize when she recognized the scent of the person. She looked up at John..
