Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At around ten in the morning, Serenity went to the bathroom and overheard two colleagues discussing Chairman Grant’s death, the internal strife in Grant Group, and the crisis the family was facing.

Upon returning to her desk, Serenity wasted no time searching the internet for more information. Every news outlet was talking about Chris Grant’s death and how his lawyer had been rescued in the hospital after a car accident.

Horrified by what she was seeing, Serenity quickly found a quiet spot and dialed for John. But the latter was in a meeting with shareholders that was initiated by Shia, so John’s phone was on silent.

She called twice in a row, but no one picked up. In the end, she called Selena. But her sister didn’t know any more than what the news did.

Selena knew the contents of Chris’s will, so she told Serenity not to worry about too much. As long as Mr. Handel woke up and completed the share transfer, everything would be fine.

“What happened to Mr. Handel?” What if he died or became a vegetable?

Selena had called her medical friend at First Hospital earlier to ask about Mr. Handel’s general situation so she relayed what she was told to her sister.” Mr. Handel is out of the woods. So the only thing left is for him to regain consciousness.”

Serenity heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear.”

John eventually returned to his office after the meeting and saw that there were two missed calls on his phone. He wanted to call her back immediately but the moment he heard the first dial tone, he hung up, threw his phone aside, and tried to distract himself with work.

After work, Serenity’s colleagues eventually left. Serenity stayed back, waiting for Gabriel. She eventually grew tired of waiting so she decided to sneak into his office.

He was in a video conference and Serenity could hear some parts of the conversation since the door was not fully closed.

Gabriel looked up at her and she stuck out her tongue playfully before pointing at the sofa beside her. He nodded and smiled before returning his focus to the computer screen and meeting.

Serenity waited quietly for Gabriel on the sofa. Then, she took out her phone out of boredom. Caleb poured some water and placed it beside her hand. She mouthed her thanks and Caleb nodded before returning to Gabriel’s side.

She had been working all day and was now playing with her phone so her neck felt a little sore. She massaged the back of her neck with one hand and grabbed a glass of water with the other. As she tilted her head back to drink, she stole a glance at the man at the desk who had a serious expression on.

He had taken off his suit jacket and was now wearing a white shirt topped with a sapphire-striped tie. Gabriel looked noble and elegant.

With his hands placed relaxedly on the armrests of his office chair, Gabriel looked calm as he spoke softly yet clearly for the meeting.

Serenity looked at him but was not paying attention to the contents of the meeting. Without knowing what was being said, she simply saw Gabriel turn serious before switching back to his calm self in an instant.

As the meeting was about to end, she waved at Caleb who approached her and softly asked, “Have you bought a car?”

“Yes, 1 have. But it’s back at South Bay now,” said Caleb.

Serenity was hoping to take her new car for a quick spin after work.

“Why?” Shouldn’t he give her the keys to her car and let her try it out?

“Young Madam, President Jones was hoping to go shopping with you after this.” Before he went to the 4.S shop in the afternoon, President Jones had told him to buy a car and drive straight back to South Bay. Caleb pondered for a long time before figuring out what his boss meant.

Serenity was speechless. Eventually, she lowered her head and continued to play with her phone.

After more than ten minutes, the meeting ended. Gabriel turned off his computer and picked up a bunch of keys on the table. Serenity took his suit jacket and handed it to him..
