Only Linda had been paying him the most attention, so no one else noticed his subtle actions, but she did. Her face turned green, white, then red.
After the dinner, everyone drank more before deciding to leave. The other managers and presidents had brought their assistants so they didn’t have to worry about driving.
But Gabriel came over at the last minute and did not bring an assistant. So the project manager of Zephyr Group planned to find a designated driver for him.
“Don’t bother,” said Jack. “Linda didn’t drink. Let her send President Jones back.”
His motive was too obvious and they knew as they looked at him. He was a sly old fox after all. But Jack was also shameless as he said, “President Jones, Ruth talks about you all day. If you have time, you should pay her a visit.”
His words not only opened up an opportunity for his daughter to win over Gabriel but also indirectly showed the others that the Jones and Sawyers had a good relationship. In the future, they would know to show Jack the same respect as they do for Gabriel.
For the sake of Ruth Johnson, Gabriel did not want to embarrass Jack Sawyer in front of everyone. So he merely curled his lips without saying anything.
Gabriel went to the washroom meanwhile Linda went to wait for him in the private room. She took out a small mirror to look at her makeup and touched up her lipstick.
She had just put the makeup mirror into her bag when an unfamiliar ringtone sounded in the quiet room. She followed the sound and her gaze fell on the suit jacket on the back of the chair beside her.
Her phone rang for a long time. After the first ring ended, it rang for a second time. She hesitated for a moment before taking out the phone from Gabriel’s jacket. ‘Serene’ was displayed on the screen.
At first, she was puzzled, then surprised, and finally jealous.
She did not expect a cold and arrogant man like Gabriel to address Serenity so intimately.
Flames of jealousy burned in her eyes. Like a venomous snake spitting out its red forked tongue, her fingers adorned with red nails swiped across the screen before she pressed the phone to her ear.
After Gabriel left South Bay, Serenity returned to her room and thought about everything that happened the previous night.
Previously, because of the resort incident, their relationship had improved. So why did he suddenly change into a different person overnight?
From his words, she could tell that he had misunderstood her relationship with John. However, from the day she married him, she had already decided to let him go completely.
Wasn’t it obvious since she was wearing a wedding ring?
She had told Gabriel that John was a person from her past. So why was Gabriel still so worried about John’s presence?
Although he was unpredictable, there was always a reason for his anger. Perhaps there was something she was missing.
She felt that the two of them needed to talk about the matter openly to prevent a long-term estrangement.
She took her phone and dialed Gabriel’s number. It rang for the first time, but no one picked up. She continued to call for the second time.
He hadn’t been picking up her calls recently, so she didn’t mind.
She had to make things clear today. She couldn’t be wronged for no reason. So, even if she had to blow up his phone, Serenity was determined to keep calling him until he picked up.
But to her surprise, a woman’s voice came from the other end of the line. The gentle ‘Hello’ felt like a bucket of cold water being poured over her head, instantly extinguishing her determination.
She finally found her voice and dryly said, “I’m looking for Gabriel.”
“President Jones is in the washroom,” said the woman with a gentle voice..
