She took the medicine and squeezed a small amount of the ointment onto her fingers to apply it evenly on her ankle. As she had just applied ice, the medicine did not feel as cold.
Then, she got up to go to the washroom to wash her hands. Just as she stood up, Gabriel grabbed her wrist. With a frown, he said, “What are you doing?”
She raised her fingers that still had a little bit of the ointment and matter-of-factly said, “I’m washing my hands.”
“Sit down.” Gabriel let go of her wrist and entered the room. When he passed by the coffee table, he pressed his cigarette butt into the ashtray and entered the bathroom. He soaked a towel in water and wrung it dry before returning to the balcony.
Serenity decided to take advantage of him, as she pretended to obediently wait for him. She took the towel with a smile and said, “Is this the first time President Jones lowered himself for a woman?”
Gabriel’s eyes narrowed slightly and there was a moment of disappointment in his gaze. Then, he said indifferently, “No.”
Serenity was wiping her hands and did not notice the changes in his expression. She thought that he was afraid that she would laugh at him, so he simply denied to go easy on her.
Gabriel was a little tired from the ceremony earlier and it was rare for him to have some free time, so he smoked another cigarette before leaving.
When Gabriel was waiting for the elevator, a woman peeked out from the corner of the corridor to look at his tall and slender figure.
The elevator door opened and Gabriel walked in before turning back around to face the elevator door. The woman was afraid of being discovered so she quickly hid behind and leaned against the wall.
When she heard the elevator close with a ‘ding’, the woman walked back out and approached the door Gabriel came out from.
Linda had been paying attention to Gabriel since the banquet earlier. When she saw him leave, she had secretly followed him.
She looked at the time. Gabriel had been in there for half an hour. What was he doing inside?
After hesitating for a moment, she knocked on the door. A woman’s voice came from inside. “Wait a minute.”
Serenity was about to take a nap when she heard someone knocking on the door. She frowned slightly. Who was this?
Anyway, it would not be Gabriel. He had the access card, so she thought it was Selena.
She hopped on one foot to the door to open it. When she saw Linda, she was stunned. “Miss Sawyer?”
Linda saw Serenity and her eyes grew wide open. Although Gabriel was Serenity’s boss, they had been alone in a room. Moreover, they stayed together for half an hour. Linda was not stupid to think that the two of them were working in there the entire time.
A hint of anger flashed across her eyes, but she suppressed it without batting an eyelid. She pretended to be concerned and said, “Serene, how’s your foot?” “It’s fine.” She had already applied ice on it so it was much better than before. Linda did not really care about Serenity so when she heard her say this, she did not ask further. “Since you’re fine, I’m relieved.”
After a light sleep, there was another knock on the door. Serenity looked at the time. The banquet was almost over. It should be Selena and John.
She walked over to open the door. Selena was not there so John was the only one standing at the door. She peeked into the corridor and asked, “Where’s my sis?”
Her cheeks were flushed red after a deep sleep and her eyes looked as charming as a little woman’s. John’s eyes narrowed without batting an eyelid. “She had to leave first. I’ll send you to the hospital.”
Serenity was slightly stunned and turned silent. Did Selena just give her husband and his ex-girlfriend some time alone? What was this? Was she testing her?
She calmly said, “My foot is much better. I don’t need to go to the hospital. If it’s possible, please send me home, Mr. Grant..”
