Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After dinner, Gabriel sent Serenity back. She unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when Gabriel grabbed her wrist.’Tell your parents about this as soon as possible. If you’re afraid of being scolded, I’ll do it.”
While Serenity was thinking about how to tell her family this, he continued to say, “I’ll give you three days.”
Caleb realized that President Jones was in a good mood these days. Even when a certain high-ranking official had caused a problem at work, he only pointed out the problem and made a few comments without any signs of anger.
However, the more he acted like this, the more everyone felt that something was amiss. A high-ranking executive came out of the president’s office and pulled Caleb to his side, anxiously asking, “Assistant Caleb, President Jones was too calm just now. Is he going to…”
“You’re thinking too much.” Caleb interrupted him, knowing what he was worried about. “President Jones has been in a good mood for the past two days, so he won’t hold you accountable. Do you want him to scold you so you can feel better?”
A certain higher-up was very skeptical of his statement. President Jones? Happy? He couldn’t tell at all.
Caleb felt that although these high-level leaders were very capable, their observation skills needed to be improved.
With President Jones’s stoic face, he wouldn’t show his happiness on the surface. So how could anyone tell what he was thinking or feeling?
The higher-up left doubtfully, remaining tense for the entire day. He did not receive a call from Gabriel until he got off work. Only then did his anxious heart finally feel at ease.
The employees of Zephyr Group had a total of one and a half hours to eat and rest. Serenity returned to the office after eating while the other colleagues went to the reception room or back to their desks to rest.
Serenity ate with her colleagues in the company’s cafeteria. One of the dishes was a little salty so she took a cup of water and went to the pantry. After getting some water, she received a call from Gabriel on her way back to the office.
Upon hearing her quiet and gentle voice, Gabriel’s usually indifferent voice softened a little. “Come rest in my office.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” She stopped walking towards the office area, turned around, and went into the coffee shop next door.” If others saw this, they would definitely think I am being violated by my superiors.”
Gabriel’s lips curled up slightly. “Not everyone gets a chance like this.”
She thought about it and felt that it was still inappropriate. “I’ll just rest at my desk.”
But Gabriel was not done with the conversation. “Did you know that I had to spend my wedding night alone?”
What a lethal comeback.
Serenity threw her worries aside and immediately stood her ground. “I’ll be right there.”
She returned to the office with a glass of water and glanced at her colleagues who were resting on their stomachs. Then, she sneaked into the president’s office like a thief.
Gabriel stood up and walked towards her. “We’re in a legal relationship, yet your sneaky behavior makes it seem like you’re having an affair.”
“There’s no difference between resting here and out there.”
“I just wanted to talk to you about this.” Gabriel held her in his arms as they walked towards the rest area in his office. “The radiation from the computer is too strong and will affect the fetus. You should quit your job and focus on being Mrs. Jones at home.”
“No!” She rejected it immediately.” It’s boring to stay at home all day doing nothing.”
No one dared to go against Gabriel’s decision so his expression darkened slightly. “This is also your child. As a mother, you should be responsible for him. Besides, when your belly gets big, you’ll be regarded as someone who got pregnant before marriage..”
