John spoke first, “Serene, were you looking for me?”
Upon hearing his voice, Serenity no longer felt the dull pain from before. Her state of mind also calmed down a lot. “What happened between you and Jocelyn White?”
Her calm tone did not sound like a question, but one could tell that she was angry.
John was taken aback “What?”
“I saw it on TV.” She closed her eyes and suppressed the anger in her heart.
Although she was slowly forgetting him, he was still her brother-in-law. If he did anything wrong to her sister, she had the right to ask.
Moreover, Jocelyn White was entangled with many men, such as Jacob Smith.
Gu Jinchen could hear the slight disappointment in her light tone. But rather than angry, he smiled.
“Jocelyn White is the spokesperson of our new product so 1 brought her with me to attend the charity event today to better establish her image.”
Serenity listened to his words while watching the ships passing by along the sparkling river as the breeze blew past her gently.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and sarcastically said, “Aren’t you afraid that she’ll ruin your hard work by getting her to endorse your products?”
John looked at the neon lights outside through the car window, imagining her disdainful expression right now.
“Serene, you have a huge prejudice against her.”
Serenity was too lazy to waste time on this topic so she simply said, “No matter what, you’d better keep a certain distance from such a woman. Don’t let my sis down and don’t lower your status.”
Having known John for more than ten years, she believed in his character. It was just that the entertainment industry was complicated. A woman who came out of that kind of big dye vat must have her own methods.
John looked at the darkened phone screen, his handsome face surprisingly gentle. There was even a faint smile that reached his eyes.
Alfred glanced at him through the rearview mirror and knew only one person who could make John that happy with just a simple phone call.
At six o’clock in the afternoon, Serenity took her phone and room card to Gabriel’s presidential suite to start cooking.
But even after she was done, Gabriel had yet to return. So she took a shower in another room and sat on the sofa to watch some entertainment programs while waiting for him.
The sky outside gradually darkened and after watching for a few minutes, she began to doze off.
Gabriel finally came back at nine o’clock at night and noticed the lights in the living room were on, and so was the television, but he did not see anyone.
He changed into the bedroom slippers and walked to the sofa only to find the woman fast asleep. Her black hair was combed to the side, revealing her loose collar and her black bra strap. The room lighting made her skin look porcelain white.
She was lying on her side with one hand under her head, sleeping peacefully like a cat.
He stood in front of the sofa with his hands in his pockets and looked down at her, blocking the light.
She must have been in a deep sleep because no matter how long he stood there, she showed no indications of waking up anytime soon.
His gaze swept down from her eyebrows to her delicate nose bridge, then to her polished lips. Recalling the softness in his memory, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and a wave of heat surged in his body.
Gabriel had been thinking about many things on his way back to the hotel earlier, especially what happened at the construction site.
This woman had not done much and yet he found himself frequently losing control of his emotions easily.
He stared at her with a complicated gaze and a mixture of emotions turmoiled in his eyes.
If she didn’t go back to her room to sleep, was she waiting for him?
