Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon return to their home country after being in the United States for a week, Frank picked them up from the airport.
Serenity thought Gabriel would return to the company directly. But instead, he said, “To the hotel.”
He had been busy for the past few days, so he should rest.
Serenity wanted to follow Frank back to the company when Gabriel looked at her. “You’re coming along too.”
When they arrived at the hotel, Frank proceeded to give Gabriel a full report on the company’s situation while they had been away. He even brought a few important documents that had piled up over the past few days – they needed Gabriel’s attention.
Since Serenity had nothing to do, she put on the bath and soaked herself in it. By the time she was done, Frank had left and Gabriel was sitting in front of the computer, busy with work.
She dried her wet hair as she walked towards him. All she needed was a glance at the computer screen to tell that he was dealing with work emails.
Since he was so focused, she did not want to disturb him. She walked to the sofa, sat cross-legged on it, and turned on the television, keeping it to the lowest volume possible.
After switching a few channels, she found the entertainment channel which was reporting about the popular movie star Jocelyn White while showing the scene of her and the boss of a film company walking down the red carpet. It seemed that the two of them had been quite intimate. Sometimes, they would each lean in to whisper something to the other.
A reporter interviewed Jocelyn White and asked about her relationship with the man next to her. Jocelyn White vaguely responded and said, “Take a guess.”
Obviously, people’s imagination was going to run wild.
Serenity took a peek at Gabriel. Although the volume of the TV was low, the room was very quiet. He must have heard it, but he did not react at all.
She softly said, “Your old lover has a new sugar daddy.”
Gabriel looked up at the TV from his computer, then gave a mysterious smile. “Why do you care?”
“Is she really your ex-lover?”
With a slight frown, Gabriel asked, “Is that important?”
She shrugged nonchalantly and turned back to the television.
Jocelyn was interacting with the boss of the film company, who had his piggy hand placed on her waist. The pair smiled at each other as they spoke.
That man was fat, short, and had a big belly, obviously a far cry from Gabriel.
Why did Jocelyn have such bad taste?
However, the entertainment industry was a big dye vat. Many celebrities were forced to follow unspoken rules just to get to the top, and it seemed Jocelyn was no exception.
By the time Gabriel finished processing the documents that Frank had sent over, it was already dark. He called the hotel staff through the internal line to send a light meal to his room.
After the meal, he rested for a few minutes. Serenity went into the bathroom to fill the bathtub for him. When Gabriel was done and stepped out of the bathroom, he saw Serenity standing by the window on the phone.
“I’ll be back a little later. You don’t have to wait for me. Rest early…”
She was thin and petite and his shirt that she was wearing hung loosely on her frame. The length was just enough to cover her hips, revealing her slender legs. And since the shirt was white, it didn’t take too much to see her chest.
Gabriel narrowed his eyes and casually threw the towel he used to dry his hair onto the sofa. He went forward and hugged her waist from behind, and she leaned into his embrace.
It was Helena Turner on the other end of the line. “Serenity, why is your work so hard? You just came back from a business trip and you can’t even come home when you’re done. You even have to work overtime at night. It’s too hard.. Why don’t you quit your job and join our own company…”
