Chapter 194: Planning to Live Here in the Future?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gabriel was going to the nearby Jonan City for a business trip, accompanied by Caleb, as usual, and Serenity.

Serenity had been very depressed because of recent events so she was hoping this business trip would give her a chance to relax a little.

It took more than a three-hour drive to Jonan City as it was located along the coast, which meant that it was also quite a humid place. Compared to Andalas, Jonan City was quite developed and continues to grow by the day.

For such an influential and successful company like Zephyr Group, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there would also be a branch in Jonan City.

Gabriel decided to visit the branch personally because a new project with an investment of more than a billion dollars has been tabled. So it was natural that he would feel the need to supervise it in person.

The branch had arranged for someone to pick them up the moment Gabriel and the team arrived. So after getting off the highway, Caleb contacted the person in charge and sent them their location.

The person who came to meet them was a man in his thirties. He looked refined wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His temperament was quite gentle and one would not be guilty for mistaking him for a university lecturer.

The man extended his hand and introduced himself. “Hello, President Jones.

I’m William, the person in charge of this project.”

Gabriel returned the greeting with a slight nod and a shake of William’s hand. “Nice to meet you.”

After a few more simple greetings, they each got into their respective cars.

Serenity sat in the front passenger seat, supporting her head with one hand as she looked at the scenery outside the window.

This was her first time in Jonan City, and for some reason, she felt that the air here was better than in Andalas.

“Jonan City is not so bad.”

Gabriel had been to Jonan City a few times, but it had been a few years since he last came. From his perspective, Jonan City had changed quite a lot.

He looked at the skyscraper through the window and softly said, “That looks like a good place to settle down.”

When Serenity heard his words, she turned around to look at him and met his warm black eyes. Her lips curved into a light arc.

“Does President Jones plan to settle down in Jonan City in the future?”

“It was just a passing comment,” said Gabriel as he looked back at her.

Serenity pouted and turned around, mumbling something only audible to her.

Caleb noticed that Serenity had taken a liking to Jonan City, so, with a smile, he said, “If you marry and settle here, you can spend time with your loved one at the river watching the ships pass every day.”

Benjamin Rivers had placed all hopes on her to save their company through marriage, so she no longer had the luxury to marry for love, let alone where to settle.

William’s car led them to a hotel he had arranged for them. It was in the downtown area and about half an hour’s drive from the branch office.

Since Gabriel was the big boss of Zephyr Group making a personal visit to Jonan City, a welcome banquet was a must.

William showed them to their rooms. “President Jones, there’s a welcome banquet tonight. 1’11 pick you up later.”

“Alright.” President Jones took the room card and unlocked the door to his room. Caleb then placed Gabriel’s luggage accordingly.

William had ensured Gabriel was given the luxurious presidential suite of the hotel since the latter was the owner of the company the former was working for.

Serenity and Caleb’s rooms were a level below Gabriel’s, junior suites and next to each other. When they reached their rooms, Caleb helped Serenity carry her luggage in before he retreated.

Although it was an ordinary room, it was clean and bright with a scenery of the river and coast as ships sailed past.

There was a large balcony in the room accessible by a glass door. Once open, one would be greeted by a fresh breeze.

Serenity spread her arms and took a deep breath as the breeze greeted her. Her hair flew silkily behind her, but not without a few strands getting caught on her face and blocking her vision..
