Gabriel placed his fork on the bowl neither lightly nor heavily. Serenity, who was watching the show with great interest, did not notice that his mood was off.
He pushed away the bowl and stood up. As he unbuttoned his shirt, he entered the bedroom. When he passed by her, he glanced at the back of her dark head.
With the sound of the door closing, Serenity looked away from the television. She put down the half-eaten noodles and walked towards the dining room. He had barely touched the food on the table. Did he have a bad appetite today?
Gabriel stood still in the bedroom, not in a hurry to take a shower. Instead, he lit a cigarette and the white smoke that came out of his nose and lips filled the air, shrouding his usually calm and stern face.
The sound of the television came from the living room outside, making him feel extremely depressed and gloomy.
He regretted bringing Serenity along when he came to Jonan City.
Not long after, there was silence from the other side of the door. The woman must have left. He put out the cigarette in his hand and went into the bathroom.
The next day Caleb told Serenity that she had nothing else to do here and asked her to return to Andalas first.
When Serenity heard this news, the first thought in her mind was that it had something to do with Gabriel’s abnormal behavior these few days.
She didn’t ask what the reason was. He was the big boss anyway, so she would do whatever he said.
Besides, she truly had nothing to do here. Other than making three meals for Gabriel every day, she was bored to death.
Perhaps she had gotten used to it over the past few days, but she was started becoming worried about how Gabriel would get his three meals if she returned to Andalas.
However, there was Caleb, his omnipotent special assistant. Moreover, Gabriel had plenty of money. He could buy whatever he wanted to eat.
“Then how long are you going to stay here?” asked she casually.
Caleb said, “At least another week.”
Serenity didn’t say anything else and returned to her room to pack her things. She only brought a few simple clothes with her to Jonan City this time. She didn’t even bring any skincare products so she finished packing in a few minutes.
Caleb watched as she packed up and said, “I’ll send you to the airport. I’ll be downstairs.”
Serenity paused, turned around, and smiled sweetly. “Alright, thank you.”
Outside the hotel, a low-key black Maybach was parked by the roadside. Caleb opened the car door and got into the driver’s seat. The man sitting behind him was browsing the latest news in Andalas on his phone. When he saw John and Jocelyn White attending a charity fund donation event, he couldn’t help but pay a little more attention to the article.
The man in the photo was handsome. His every move carried a confident aura, and there was a faint pride between his brows.
At the age of twenty-five, John was considered outstanding among young people.
He put the phone down and asked calmly, “Did she say anything?”
“She asked when we were going back,” said Caleb.
Gabriel did not say anything else because he had his head lowered as he continued scrolling through his phone. His lowered eyelids concealed the emotions in his eyes so Caleb did not notice anything unusual about him from the rearview mirror.
When Caleb saw Serenity coming out of the hotel, he got out of the car to take the luggage from her hands and placed it in the trunk.
Serenity opened the car door and was shocked to see the person sitting inside. She had checked the time earlier: it was already 9:20 a.m.. Shouldn’t he be at the construction site or the branch office at this time?
