Calvin smiled and was about to speak when Gabriel’s well-defined fingers rubbed the teacup on the table. He said with a faint smile, “The engagement party was canceled, so the two of them are not engaged yet.”
His voice was gentle and indifferent. In the eyes of others, he was just stating a real-time situation. Even though he was speaking casually, Serenity could hear the stiff tone in his voice.
The man who spoke just now continued to laugh. “When your company situation stabilizes, 1’11 be able to attend your engagement party.” After he finished speaking, his gaze swept across Serenity and Calvin.
“That’s not necessarily true. It might be a wedding banquet.” Calvin said with a smile on his face.
Gabriel’s deep eyes swept across Calvin with a cold and distant gaze. There was a hint of calmness between his deep brows, and his cold lips were curved into a sharp arc. There was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.
After three rounds of drinks, the dinner table began to talk about business matters. Serenity did not listen carefully. Her gaze was fixed on the plate of prawns diagonally opposite her.
Gabriel caught a glimpse of her eager expression from the corner of his eye. There was a faint smile in his eyes. He quietly placed the plate of prawns in front of him, picked up his chopsticks, and placed one in his bowl before continuing to discuss matters with the others.
In front of Gabriel, the plate of spicy prawns was on her right. She picked them up very easily and ate a few of them in a row.
Upon hearing her panting, Gabriel tilted his head and glanced at her. Seeing that her entire mouth was red from the spiciness, he frowned slightly. “Eat less if it’s spicy. It’s not good for your stomach.”
She picked up the cup of water beside her and drank it in one gulp. However, she still couldn’t resist the spiciness. Gabriel called for the waiter and poured her another cup of warm water.
When everyone saw Gabriel taking care of her as if it was normal, they looked at each other tacitly and guessed in their hearts.
Calvin narrowed his eyes at the two people opposite him, his gaze complicated.
After they finished their discussion, Serenity finished the plate of prawns. She licked her lips as if she had not had enough. After drinking two glasses of water, she went to the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, she met Calvin who was waiting for her. She smiled and said, “Have you been very busy recently? 1 tried calling but only your assistant picked up.”
“I am quite busy.” He had completely taken over Gilbert Group’s affairs, and because of the turmoil and crisis a few days ago, he had been very busy recently. There was a hint of drunkenness on his face. “Stay away from Gabriel.”
Serenity frowned. John had said the same thing to him before. The two of them were really bros. Even their tone was the same.
“I’m only pretending to get engaged to you, so give me a good reason?”
When John said this to her, she could understand that it was with reluctance, but Calvin did not like her, so she did not think that he was jealous.
Calvin looked at her solemnly and said, “Anyway, just remember my advice. Stay away from him, or you’ll regret it.”
Serenity’s heart sank. The Calvin that she knew had always been sloppy and had a cheeky smile when he spoke. She had never seen him speak to her in such a serious manner.
“He’s just my boss,” she explained after a moment of silence.
“If that’s the case, then that’s for the best.”
The two of them returned to the private room one after another.. Someone teased, “Did the two of them go out to make out?”
