Undoubtedly, he was indirectly telling her about Zander Hall’s whereabouts. Her dark eyes lit up while she lifted her head to kiss him.
Gabriel took another drag of his cigarette, causing his sexy Adam’s apple to move. “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”
Serenity looked at him, confused while she waited for him to continue his sentence. He disposed of his cigarette and continued, “You need an invitation to enter.”
She looked at him with hopeful eyes. “You are invited too?”
Gabriel replied with a “Hmm,” and her eyes looked even brighter, only for her to hear his next sentence: “But I have never brought a female date to any banquet parties before.”
The excitement and joy she felt a moment ago suddenly disappeared after hearing his words.
That’s right. Although Gabriel changed his lover every once in a while, he had never been involved in scandals with any woman before. This was because he always attended banquets alone and never brought a female date along.
“In that case, can I get an invitation?”
Judging from his status, as long as he asked, Mrs. Sawyer would definitely give him another invitation.
He said without hesitation, “No.”
Serenity chuckled and tugged her hair behind her ear before using a towel to cover herself. “I am going to bathe.”
After she entered the bathroom, she placed the towel on the shelf and turned on the shower, allowing the warm water to slowly flow down her snowy white back.
She seemed to have heard someone knocking on the door and Gabriel opening it. However, they did not communicate with each other. After a while, she heard the door close again.
When she came out of the bathroom, she immediately saw the latest handbag that she saw on the magazine cover two days ago on the table. The handbag was rose-red in color, which looked very bright, making it very easy to match with other apparel.
Gabriel stood up and walked to the bathroom. Before he reached the bathroom door, he said, “In the future, if you like anything, you can directly tell Frank.”
After the bathroom door closed, Serenity shrugged her shoulders and saw a name card placed beside the new bag.
She picked it up to take a look, only to realize that it was Frank’s name card. She scoffed and placed the name card back onto the table.
As per usual, Gabriel left after he came out of the bathroom. He would never stay overnight in the hotel, and regardless of how late it was in the night, he would always take his leave.
After Gabriel left, Serenity walked out of the hotel with the exquisite luxury bag that he bought for her and walked toward the trash bin outside of the hotel.
She stopped in her tracks, and her lips curled up to form a self-mocking smile while she threw the bag into the dustbin.
Not too far away, in the black Maybach, Gabriel silently watched the whole scene while his deep and dark eyes darkened and looked more mysterious.
Caleb, who was sitting on the driver’s seat, and Frank, who was sitting on the passenger seat, looked at each other while wearing a stiff expression on their face as they held their breaths.
Serenity hailed a cab by the roadside and bent down to enter it. With the closing of the car door, the cab slowly disappeared from their line of sight.
Gabriel remained very silent, and Caleb and Frank could clearly sense the tense atmosphere within the car.
Frank boldly mumbled, “President Jones, perhaps Ms. Serenity doesn’t like the color of the bag.”
Although it was said this way, Frank’s mind was filled with confusion as the rose-red bag looked very striking and suited Ms. Serenity very much.
Besides, she always had a good eye when it came to choosing bags. In the past, whenever President Jones wanted to give presents to his lovers, she never failed to choose a present that his lovers liked, be it the brand or design.
Yet Ms. Serenity was an exception. She threw away a bag that was worth a hundred thousand dollars just like that without even feeling sorry for it. However, what made it even worse was that it was actually seen by President Jones. Indeed, as the saying went, it never rained but it poured.
Gabriel remained silent for a moment before saying in a deep and cold voice, “Start the car.”
Upon hearing that, Caleb immediately started the car and drove the car away from the scene..
