The lady boss gave a warm chuckle, and her smile looked as peaceful as ever. “If you are bored, you can read some books. This way, time passes faster.”
The lady boss returned to the book house, and Serenity lazily opened the book to read it while occasionally taking a few sips of her coffee.
However, it was almost lunchtime, yet she still had not seen Gabriel and Zander.
Sam came back. Upon seeing that there was a cup of coffee on the table, he picked it up as he wanted to drink it. However, she said, “I drank from it before.”
He did not seem to care and said, “It’s not like you have a virus or something.” After saying that, he took a huge gulp and put it back to its original place. “I’ve returned it to you.”
Serenity was made speechless by his actions and looked at the cup in disdain. After all, she was not in the habit of sharing cups with other people. “You can have it.”
Sam happily accepted it as he happened to be very thirsty and this cup of coffee would be a good way to quench his thirst.
He placed his camera in front of Serenity as though he was showing off his treasure and said in a gloating tone of voice, “The scenery is so beautiful here! After the resort is constructed, I must come here for a vacation.”
Serenity closed the book in her hands. Just as she was about to say, “Not bad — when that time comes, please remember to count me in,” she raised her head and saw Gabriel and Zander on the chain bridge while they were slowly walking over.
She used her head to signal Sam to look over. They waited until they had crossed the bridge and immediately went forward to them. “President Jones, Mayor Hall.”
Gabriel saw that there was a camera around Sam’s neck. His gaze darkened while a hint of displeasure could be seen on his handsome face.
After being complained about by the nearby citizens due to the construction of the Camdell Resort, Zephyr Group was going through difficult times at present. Yet, upon seeing that Sam had a camera on him, Gabriel thought that he was a paparazzi from a random press agency.
Serenity saw that something was not right and immediately took two steps forward. She took out a voice recorder and said to Zander, “Mayor Hall, we are from the ME Magazine Agency. We heard that you are going to be promoted to Deputy Governor and would like to interview you. May I know if you are free now?”
Zander slightly furrowed his eyebrows and did not stop walking. “Sorry, but I don’t accept interviews from magazine agencies.”
She had already started the voice recorder and was thoroughly prepared. “We will not take too much of your time. Please give us a chance to interview you.”
Zander widened his footsteps and ignored her. Just as she was about to chase after him, Zander’s secretary put his hand out to block her.
Upon looking at Zander’s departing figure, she anxiously shouted, “Mayor Hall, please give us a chance!”
Even after Zander and Gabriel had left, Serenity and Sam were still waiting at the original place.
Although they finally got a chance to talk to Zander today, they still did not complete their mission. As such, both of them wore a depressing expression on their faces.
After they exited the resort, Serenity used settling personal matters as an excuse to let Sam return to the city first while she continued waiting under a tree at the roadside.
Gabriel and Zander used their own cars to return to the hotel. When Caleb drove the car out of the car park, Gabriel got in the car and massaged his temples while he leaned against the chair. He asked, “How did she get into the resort?”
Upon hearing Gabriel’s question, Caleb whispered, “Ms. Serenity called you just now and I answered it. I was the one who let her in.”
Gabriel fished out his phone to look at his call history, and she indeed had called him before. He put his phone back into his pocket and leaned against the chair while he closed his eyes to rest.
Caleb had driven the car for a distance when a person suddenly popped out of nowhere and blocked their car. Luckily, he had a fast reaction and stepped on the brakes in time.
Gabriel, who was sitting at the back seat, steadied his body by supporting himself with the front seat. He knitted his brow.. “What happened?”
