“President Jones has gone ahead. I’ll send you there now to join him,” said Caleb.
The so-called banquet was just a small celebration at a private villa.
For the banquet, the villa had been beautifully decorated with roses as the host’s wife’s favorite flower. The host was Mr. Lopez and it was obvious that he doted on his wife very much.
The banquet was held in celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Lopez’s one-month-old twins.
Although the banquet wasn’t big, the guests were prominent figures in Andalas. Serenity still hadn’t found Gabriel yet so she took a glass of champagne and attempted to find a quiet place to stand when she bumped into someone she knew.
Calvin Gilbert walked past her with his partner when he turned to look at her in surprise. “Serenity?”
“Mr. Gilbert, long time no see.” She gently swayed the champagne in her hand and gave his female companion a meaningful gaze.
Calvin was afraid Serenity would do the same thing as she did the last time they met, so he immediately gave her a warning glare to not mess around.
Serenity simply responded with a light smile. It was fun to tease him, but the rest of those present were from prestigious families. She was not stupid enough to embarrass the Gilbert family in front of them.
Curiously, she asked, “Who is Joseph Lopez?”
For Gabriel to attend this banquet, Joseph Lopez must be a person with a powerful background. However, she had never heard of this person in Andalas before.
Calvin did not find it strange that Serenity did not know of Joseph Lope.
“Joseph Lopez isn’t from Andalas. He’s from the city called Jidorn.”
No wonder she had never heard of him.
With a sudden exclamation, Calvin asked, “If you don’t know Joseph Lopez, then why did he invite you?”
Although the Rivers family was quite a prestigious family, it was not at the level of the Lopez and Jones families, so the Rivers would not have usually made Joseph Lopez’s guest list.
“I’m working at Zephyr Group now.”
Calvin Gilbert was confused. “So?”
How was her response related to his question?
“I’m accompanying President Jones.”
Gabriel Jones was on the way down into the hall with Joseph Lopez when he saw Serenity Rivers and Calving Gilbert chatting happily.
Today, she was wearing a long, pearl-white dress with a flat collar. The dress was embellished with sequins, making it very eye-catching.
Her slightly curly hair was casually tied up, revealing her exquisite collarbone and beautiful nape. He couldn’t help but think that she looked charmingly sexy this evening.
Joseph Lopez noticed Gabriel’s slight change in behavior and expression and followed his gaze. Then, he chuckled. “Is she the female companion you brought today?”
Gabriel recollected his thoughts and hummed an affirmation indifferently.
“Good choice.” Joseph patted him on the shoulder, then touched his chin while giving Serenity a good look. “Although she’s not as pretty as others, your taste is not bad. 1 told you to bring a female companion here just to make fun of you, but I didn’t expect you to really bring one. It seemed that President Jones’s game is still as good as before.”
Gabriel did not mind his teasing, which showed how close they are. It was obvious the two of them were quite close.
Joseph watched Serenity and Calvin interact and kindly said, “Don’t say I didn’t remind you that Calvin Gilbert is quite a famous playboy. If you don’t go over now, your female companion will fall into someone else’s hands.”
He was already in a bad mood for losing the bid on Haverford Corporation’s land, so the sight of Serenity smiling and happily chatting away with another man became quite an eyesore to him.
He gave an inaudible snort and proudly said, “If she’s that stupid, how can she be worthy of being Gabriel Jones’s companion?”
Joseph’s eyes lit up when he heard Gabriel.. “Oh my, so you’re saying that your companion tonight is someone who matters to you, and not some random person you picked?”
