With a face suddenly moving in so closely to his face, Gabriel instinctively took a step back. And she was right, he could see the dark circles under her eyes despite the light makeup she had on.
There was a glint in Serenity’s eyes and she asked, “If President Jones is asking me such a question, could it be that he has realized that he likes me? Even just a little?”
Gabriel laughed coldly and his eyes returned to their usual calm and clear state. He walked to his office, sat down in front of his computer, and said, “Get out!”
Serenity gently lowered her head as she turned around – her eyes had become misty.
In the reception room.
Jack Sawyer, the president of Sawyer Group, had come to Zephyr Group for a visit with his daughter, Linda. The two had been waiting patiently in the reception room for nearly an hour.
Linda took out a small mirror from her bag to look at herself. Since there was nothing she needed to add to her makeup, she put away the mirror with satisfaction.
President Sawyer noticed how meticulous Linda was with her physical appearance and said, “Linda, make sure you seize the opportunity later. If you can work at Zephyr Group, you’ll have many opportunities to interact with President Jones. Then, capture his heart and the title of ‘Mrs. Jones’ will be yours.”
“Dad, 1 know what to do.” Jack Sawyer had said these words to Linda many times during their journey to Zephyr Group, so much so that her ears were about to get calluses.
The title of ‘Mrs. Jones’ was so tempting that Linda was more determined than ever to get Gabriel.
Serenity went into the reception room and poured tea for them. Linda held Serenity’s hand intimately and asked, “Is President Jones not done yet?” “He’s still in a meeting,” said Serenity with a smile.
Linda pouted her lipstick-tinted lips, making them look like beautiful rose petals as she grumbled. “I’ve been waiting for almost an hour.”
Since Serenity was present, Jack Sawyer was afraid she would tell Gabriel about his daughter’s attitude. He immediately reminded his daughter to be patient and said, “I’m sure President Jones will see us after he’s done with his work.”
Linda had been pampered since she was young, so to be scolded in front of an outsider was too much for her to bear as her eyes reddened.
Jack Sawyer turned to Serenity and said with a smile, “Miss Secretary, please remind President Jones about our intention to meet him the moment he is done. Perhaps he has forgotten about us.”
“Alright.” Serenity nodded with a faint smile.
President Jones was in the office with his old friend Joseph Lopez. Their relationship had never been work-related so they could have waited until after office hours to hang out. Serenity truly wondered what the two were up to in that office.
Once she had left the reception room, she knocked on the door of the president’s office. A clear voice came from inside, but it was not Gabriel’s. “Enter.”
She pushed the door open and walked in. Gabriel was on the phone while Joseph sat at the corner of his desk. His long legs hung off the edge of the desk as he casually flipped through the magazine in his hand.
Joseph looked at her in surprise and then at her work clothes. “Ms. Serenity, do you work at Zephyr Group?”
Serenity smiled. “Yes, President Lopez, didn’t you know?”
He closed the magazine in his hand and threw it aside. “I didn’t. He’s never mentioned it.”
She was just an insignificant person so how could she expect Gabriel to mention her to those close to him? She smiled and did not say anything further.
After Gabriel was done with the call, she said, “President Jones, President Sawyer and Miss Linda have been waiting for an hour.”
Gabriel’s long eyes narrowed slightly as he indifferently said, “So what’s a few more minutes of waiting for them?”
Serenity immediately knew Gabriel did not want to see Jack Sawyer and his daughter. Both sides were too stubborn.
“Jack Sawyer?” Joseph Lopez raised his eyebrows.. “The Jack Sawyer from Sawyer Group?”
