Gabriel took a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap before handing it to her. She took it and took a small sip before putting the cap back on.

While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Gabriel skillfully lit a cigarette.

The night breeze blew in through the half-lowered car window, whisking away the white smoke.

“I’ll give you two choices. Either you cancel the engagement with the Gilbert family, or I’ll do it for you.”

His words stunned Serenity. She turned to look at him as he drove with his right hand on the steering wheel and his left hand holding a cigarette he was taking a puff of – his cold face was shrouded in the smoke that he exhaled.

His eyes were focused on the road in front of him, not for once wavering to look at her. However, his strong aura told her that he was serious about what he said. There was no room for negotiation.

“President Jones, although I’m an employee of Zephyr Group, this engagement is a private matter. You have no right to interfere. Besides…” She raised her eyebrows slightly and coldly said, “Calvin and 1 are both bachelors and have every right to like each other.”

Gabriel finally turned to look at her. There was a faint smile in his deep eyes as he said in a bewitching voice, “So, you guys like each other…”

It was clear he was being sarcastic. He suddenly changed the topic and coldly said, “We were getting along so well until now.”

The pain between her legs was so obvious that there was no way she could deny him.

Now that he had said it so openly, her face instantly turned red from embarrassment.

She quickly built up a wall to protect herself, lest she break down from his provocation. “We’re adults. It’s normal for men and women to have sex.”

He let out a light scoff but his voice hit her heart.

“You’ve fallen in love with Calvin Gilbert so quickly? What about John?”

His words stung her like a cold bucket of ice water poured over her already shivering body. Serenity glared at him fiercely.

Gabriel looked at her expression, took another puff of his cigarette nonchalantly, and said, “You and Calvin Gilbert will end things here. Come with me instead. 1 will inject capital into Rivers Group.”

She was momentarily shocked before she let out a soft laugh. With mockery in her smile, she said, “So 1 can’t be the young lady of the Gilbert family, but I can be your secret bedwarmer?”

The indicator light in front finally turned green. Gabriel stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray of the car and stepped on the accelerator. With the lights and shadows flying past his face, it was hard to tell what kind of expression he currently had on his handsome face.

She could only see that his firm jaw was tight and his cold lips were pursed into an indestructible line.

Neither spoke along the way and Serenity no longer wanted him to drop her home. Just as they approached the Rivers residence, she made him stop her a slight distance away.

When she was about to start heading home, she heard Gabriel’s warm voice says “Serenity, don’t forget what I said just now.”

But before she could say anything, the car behind her sped away without hesitation, quickly disappearing from sight.

The night wind was a little cold so she tightened her coat around her and walked towards the Rivers residence.

Just as she was about to reach, a Porsche stopped beside her with a sharp screech..
