Serenity was a little confused by his words. As she wished? Her mind was still scrambling to figure out what he meant when the car stopped outside the international shopping mall.
She looked at the crowd through the car window and turned back to look at him blankly. “What are we doing here?”
Gabriel got out of the car and opened the car door for her like a gentleman. But his face still looked cold and indifferent. “Get out of the car.”
Serenity was feeling a little overwhelmed as she looked at him in surprise. Nevertheless, she got out of the car.
When the two entered the mall, a saleswoman immediately greeted them with eyes glued to Gabriel. “Welcome, may I ask-”
Before she could finish, she was pushed away by another salesperson behind her who smiled obsequiously and said, “Sir, Miss, do you need any help?”
Gabriel’s gaze did not pause on either of them for even a second as his gaze swept across the row of clothes in front of him before he pointed at a lake-green dress. “Take that one and give it to her.”
The saleswoman felt extremely embarrassed for being ignored but she still had to plaster on a smile as part of her job. “Yes, sir. Please wait a moment.”
Serenity looked down at her dress and asked in confusion, “Is there anything wrong with what I’m wearing today?”
“This is a thank-you gift,” said Gabriel without changing his expression.
The saleswoman took the dress Gabriel had chosen from a row of clothes racks. She smiled, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, and gestured for Serenity to follow her. “This way please, Miss.”
“What kind of thank-you gift is this?” How could a dress simply be a thank-you gift?
Didn’t most people treat others to a meal to return a favor?
Or had it become a habit for him since he had given her a necklace before?
“You don’t like my gift?” asked Gabriel.
Was he treating her like one of those vain women? Did he think that she would be elated just from receiving such a material gift from him?
She suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to force her smile to reach her eyes as the corners of her mouth curled up into a sarcastic arc. “Your thank-you gift is quite special. But I’m sorry, I can’t accept it.”
Serenity turned around and was about to leave when there was a firm pressure wrapped around her wrist – Gabriel had grabbed her arm. She turned around to look at him only to be greeted with his pitch-black eyes that shone were as dark as ink. “Try on the clothes first. I’ll bring you somewhere else later.”
He didn’t use much strength, but the temperature of his palm was like a branding iron – her heart trembled slightly at his touch.
When she noticed the saleswomen staring at them, Serenity started to feel embarrassed. “Where will we be going?”
Gabriel let go of her hand. “Try on the dress first.”
She hesitated for a moment before following the saleswoman into the fitting room. She took the dress and finally tried it on.
Gabriel sat on a sofa and casually flipped through a magazine. His slightly lowered head looked emotionless as his thin lips remained pursed tightly together. Coupled with the well-defined and slender fingers holding the magazine, Gabriel looked like he was modeling for a photoshoot.
The saleswoman was standing and staring lovestruck at him. Another saleswoman approached her and they whispered to each other – why did this man look a little familiar? “I think I’ve seen him somewhere before…”
The other saleswoman rolled her eyes at her and said, “Stop daydreaming. Look at that man’s clothes. He’s either rich or noble. With his elegant aura radiating off him, you can tell he’s not an ordinary person with just one look.”
Hearing what her companion said, the saleswoman who was serving Gabriel and Serenity started to have some doubts too, but she was quite sure he looked familiar. She scratched her head and said, “I know I’ve seen him somewhere before..”
