Gabriel’s lips suddenly curled up slightly and it made Linda even more elated.
Didn’t that mean that he agreed?
But Gabriel was not in as good a mood as she had imagined. His dark pupils constricted slightly as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
Linda smiled brightly, her eyes filled with joy. “Is that a yes, President Jones?”
All of Serenity’s breath landed between his legs and the waves of heat caused his soft member that was sleeping to gradually wake up.
Serenity also noticed it and her face flushed red as she immediately held her breath. But she was about to suffocate to death.
Gabriel’s patience had reached its limit and his gaze darkened. He sneered and said, “Since President Sawyer abandoned his daughter, why should 1 be such a good person?”
His attitude had changed too quickly so Linda was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had said something wrong. She thought about what she had said just now, but she did not find anything wrong.
Her eyes were filled with grievance as she looked at him expectantly.
“President Jones, my father is a guest you invited. Since I came with him, I’m considered a guest too. It’s not too much for me to ask you to give me a ride.”
A reasonable person would think that she was not asking for too much. But this was Gabriel who did things his way. Despite her reasonable words, his face suddenly darkened.
“Miss Sawyer, 1 see that you still haven’t figured out where you stand.”
He addressed Jack Sawyer as President Sawyer out of respect. As for the small matter of the invitation letter, of course, he would not personally ask about it. It had all been handled by Francesca. He did not know who exactly was invited.
Gabriel rolled up the car window and said to Caleb, “Drive.”
The car sped away, leaving Linda stomping her feet unwillingly. Since she was young, she believed that as long as she wanted something, there was nothing she couldn’t get.
After the car drove for about two hundred meters, Serenity got up from Gabriel’s lap. The moment she did, her eyes met with his.
Her face was burning hot and she immediately put some distance between the two of them. She sat upright and tucked her hair behind her ears to hide her embarrassment.
Gabriel took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the heat in his body. He retrieved his laptop and continued working, but he could not concentrate no matter how hard he tried.
He rolled down the window halfway and lit a cigarette in frustration. He took a few puffs, letting the smoke be blown away by the wind and turn into nothingness.
Serenity’s nerves were tensed up the entire journey. After leaving the resort, they drove straight to the hospital. Was Gabriel going to the hospital too? Was he accompanying her?
Gabriel was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly opened them. When he saw that it was not the way back to the city, he frowned slightly. “Where are we going?”
“President Jones, didn’t you want to send Ms. Serenity to the hospital first?” Caleb was surprised by Gabriel’s question.
“Which hospital is better than a listed hospital?” Gabriel’s lips twitched.
She wanted to go back to the city, but her car was still at the resort. She took a glance at Gabriel’s well-defined features from the corner of her eyes and pursed her lips slightly. “1 drove here this morning.”
Gabriel narrowed his eyes slightly. He wanted to say that no one would want that broken car of yours, but he remembered that she was not having a good time in the Rivers family. He could not possibly let her squeeze on the public bus to and from work every day, right?
He rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Go back to the resort.”
Caleb turned the car around. They had not gotten on the highway yet so they arrived in about ten minutes..
