Chapter 48: Politics and Business Do Not Mix

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With a call from Ms. Lewis, Serenity and Sam were ordered to her office, and she asked about the progress of the interview with Mayor Hall.

...

The two of them looked at each other before Sam said in a crestfallen tone, “Mayor Hall is very stubborn and refuses to accept our interview. You better switch to someone else.”

Ms. Lewis looked at both of them and said, “Sam, you are the backbone of the editorial department, and you have a serious attitude during work so I always have faith in you. Serenity, you are good at interpersonal relationships, so both of you are the best people suited to interview Mayor Hall.”

When they left the chief editor’s office, Sam scratched his head in despondence and asked Serenity, “What kind of interpersonal relationships do you have?”

In the whole magazine society, only Ms. Lewis knew that she was the daughter of the Rivers Group.

If it was someone else, they would definitely be proud of being the daughter of the Rivers Group, but she refused to say a single word about her identity.

She casually said, “I just know a few bosses from the corporate world.”

Sam widened his eyes. Just? That was already very impressive!

No wonder that with just a call from her, someone brought them into the resort.

He continued to ask, “Who do you know? Are they familiar with Mayor Hall? Can you use your relationship with them and tell them to help us ask a few questions so we can complete this interview mission?”

Serenity packed the document files on the table. “Politics and business do not mix.”

After they got off work, Serenity ate her dinner at a restaurant near the magazine agency before taking a cab to the hotel.

When she reached the hotel, it was not even six o’clock yet. Gabriel had not arrived, and since it was still early, she took a bath first.

After she walked out of the bathroom, she was bored, so she turned the television on and opened a bottle of wine that she took from the bar. She poured half a glass of wine and drank as she waited for him.

When she was really bored, she started to swipe through Instagram. As time passed by, her patience became thinner and thinner.

When Gabriel arrived at the hotel, it was already close to nine o’clock. He opened the room door with his room card and saw that the room was in a state of darkness. He furrowed his brows and turned the lights on before someone hugged him from behind.

From behind him, a grumbling yet coquettish voice drifted to his ears. “Why did you come so late?”

He tugged his tie and pried her hands off his waist. He took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. When he turned back, he saw that her face was flushed red and smelled the alcoholic scent on her before glancing at the wine bottle and glasses left on the table.

“Your alcohol tolerance is not bad.” The wine bottle was almost empty.

As she was drunk, her cheeks were puffed red while her eyes were glazed over, which gave a hint of allure. She said with a smile, “I used to be bad at drinking so I trained it by drinking every day when I was in California.”

Her eyes were coquettish and looked crystal-clear under the lights. It was black and shiny like a diamond crystal.

Gabriel took off his watch and placed it on the table before entering the bathroom to take a bath. Suddenly, she hugged him from behind. “Shower later.”

He had not said anything and she had already circled to his front before tiptoeing and kissing him on the lips.

He became dominant upon finding that her mouth was filled with the taste of the red wine mixed with her sweetness. It made one become even more intoxicated with her.

After it ended, Serenity used his shoulder as a pillow. Her whole body sagged down as she was too tired to even move.

Bam! Gabriel lit a cigarette, and he took a drag before puffing out smoke. He lightly said, “On the following day, Mrs. Sawyer is going to hold a charity fundraiser event. Mayor Hall is going as well.”

Undoubtedly, this was him indirectly telling her about Zander’s whereabouts, and her eyes became even brighter…
