Caleb looked at his expression through the rearview mirror before he said in terror, “Ms. Serenity is stopping our car.”
Serenity walked forward with her high-heels and pulled open the car door before sitting inside the car. She sat in the same row as Gabriel before saying, “Are you going to eat? Bring me along. I’m hungry too.”
Gabriel was not dumb enough to not notice that she clearly had an ulterior motive. He said with a slightly cold expression, “Get off the car!”
“President Jones.” She affectionately hugged Gabriel’s arm and said in a tender voice, “We haven’t eaten a meal together.”
Gabriel crossed his legs and his lips curled up with a hint of mockery. “I think you are more willing to eat with Mayor Hall.”
Naturally, she would not overthink things and assume that he was jealous. Hence, she pretended to not understand his words. Her face was filled with a sweet smiling expression and her black eyes shone with anticipation.
“I know a restaurant that has just opened. When we have time, let’s go there together, okay?”
No emotions could be derived from Gabriel’s cold eyes as he said with an indifferent voice, “Find a friend to accompany you. Just send the bill to my company and Frank will settle it.”
She feigned a look of disappointment and gently muttered, “Okay.” Then, she said in a forlorn tone, “Sam had other things to do so he left earlier. It’s not easy to catch a cab here, so since you are going back to the city, let me tag along as well.”
Caleb stopped the car at the roadside and focused on his thoughts as he turned a deaf ear to their conversation.
Gabriel gently pursed his glossy lips and remained silent for a moment before saying, “Caleb, send me to the restaurant first, then send her back to the city.”
Caleb hesitantly said, “President Jones, going back to the city requires one and a half hours. I’m afraid I won’t be able to fetch you back in time.”
Even if he drove at the maximum speed, he required three hours back and forth, yet a meal only needed one and a half hours.
He indifferently said, “I will take Mayor Hall’s car.”
Caleb sent Gabriel to the restaurant where Zander and he had agreed to meet. He parked the car outside the restaurant, and Caleb got down from the car to pull open the car door for Gabriel.
Gabriel was preparing to get down from the car when Serenity hugged his arm, her exquisite face looking shy and coquettish. “President Jones, are you going to the hotel tonight?”
Her voice was pleasing to the ear, and when she spoke, it was clear like a bell. When she acted cutely, her voice was tender and soft like a whisper in the misty rain, as though a feather brushed past his heart and played havoc with it.
Gabriel went silent for a moment before softly muttering “hmm.” She smiled and kissed his cheeks. “I will wait for you.”
Gabriel buttoned up the middle button of his suit and easily brought about an elegant aura. “Let Caleb accompany you to that newly-opened restaurant.” “Will you not mind that I’m eating with another man?” She blinked her eyes, and her right thumb gently rubbed his palm.
His expression had no change as he got down from the car and ordered Caleb to do a few things. As Caleb had yet to close the car door, Serenity heard him telling Caleb to bring her to the newly-opened restaurant.
After Gabriel left, Caleb closed the car door before pulling over the driver’s seat car door and entering the car. He put on his safety belt and started the car engine to drive her back to the city.
On the way, Serenity and Caleb had a casual conversation to pass the time. The car drove on the highway and Caleb asked, “Ms. Serenity, where is the newly-opened restaurant?”
Serenity was not interested from the start and looked at the time, which told her it was past lunchtime. She was not hungry anymore, so she waved her hand. “I have something on. Send me to the magazine agency.” She then gave the address..
