Chapter 406:I Want to See Him
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With Caleb or Francesca always picking up her calls and saying that Gabriel was busy and would call her back after he was done, Serenity was initially willing to be patient.
However, no matter how long she waited, there would never be a single text message, let alone a phone call, back from him.
Cold sweat was already dripping down Caleb’s forehead as he glanced at the man who was typing quickly on the keyboard. “President Jones is just really busy.”
Serenity drove out of South Bay past lush trees lining the road. “Alright then. Tell him not to tire himself out when working and to take care of his health.”
After hanging up the phone, Caleb looked at Gabriel but the latter showed no intentions of asking him anything. Caleb pondered for a moment before reporting the contents of the call to his boss.
The man remained indifferent and Caleb eventually left the office silently.
Serenity drove to the hotel. Since Gabriel was hiding from her, she would wait there. She wanted to know why he had not returned home and was hiding from her. Even if she had to die, she needed to know.
She went to the front desk and reported the VIP room number Gabriel usually used. The lady at the front desk smiled. “President Jones checked out a week ago.”
“When?” asked she.
“October 22nd,” said the receptionist with a professional smile.
Wasn’t that the second day he didn’t go home?
In other words, he only stayed in the hotel on the first day.
With Gabriel’s status, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for him not to have other villas and private residences outside. Hence, there was no need to doubt where he had stayed for the past few days.
Serenity casually ate something in the restaurant and went to Zephyr Group.
Only Caleb and Francesca knew her identity and since she had already resigned, she would have to register at the front desk. But if she did so, she knew he would reject her. So she waited in the cafe opposite the company.
She stirred her coffee gently and looked at the entrance of the building opposite her, sitting the entire afternoon. When it was time to get off work, people came out of the company one after another. After everyone had left, she called the waiter to pay the bill and prepared to go to the company to look for him.
The security guard at the door refused to let her in so she had no choice but to call Caleb. “I’m downstairs. I want to see him.”
Caleb had already boarded the plane with Gabriel when he received her call. The beautiful air stewardess was reminding everyone to switch off their phones which Serenity heard on the other end of the phone. Without waiting for him to reply, she asked, “Are you guys on the plane?”
“Yes, President Jones is going to the neighboring city for a business trip,” said Caleb.
Serenity’s heart was on the verge of breaking down. She had waited for nothing the entire afternoon. “Why didn’t I see you guys leave the company?”
“We left the company at lunchtime to pack up at my place,” said Caleb truthfully.
“How long will you be gone for?” asked she.
Caleb looked at the man beside him, not daring to tell the truth. So, he vaguely said, “I don’t know. It would be a while.”
Serenity bit her lip and hung up the phone silently.
Initially, Serenity did not call Gabriel but relented on the third day of their supposed business trip when she texted Caleb to ask when they would be back. And still, Caleb did not give her a clear answer.
Serenity had been accompanying Helena to the hospital every day and, as requested by Master Samson, John had not shown up ever since, doing everyone a favor to avoid being in such a tense and awkward situation again..
