If it was Selena, even if the receptionist had not seen her in real life before, she should have seen her on television or in the magazines.

...

Hence, he was very sure that the person who sent the clothes over was Serenity.

He passed the clothes to Caleb and asked the receptionist, “Where is she?”

The receptionist replied while trembling in fear, “It’s been a while since she left.”

Gabriel did not say anything, only walking toward the elevator with big strides. Caleb quickly followed him and pressed the elevator for him. With a “ding” of the elevator, both of them walked in.

When they went up the elevator, Gabriel suddenly said, “Give a call to Serenity and tell her to come to the hotel tonight.”

When Caleb called, Serenity was sitting at a cafe. The waiter had come to take her order, and she was just about to reply when Caleb called. It was not until she had ordered a cup of cappuccino and the waiter had left did she answer the call.

After hearing Caleb’s words, she glanced at the people around her before covering the phone with her hand and lowering her voice as it was peak hour. “Secretary Xiao, can you pass the phone to him? I’ve got something to say to him.”

Caleb replied with a “please give me a moment” and knocked on the door of the President’s office. “President Jones, Ms. Serenity has something to say to you.”

Gabriel was currently reading some documents. Upon hearing those words, he immediately put down his work and raised his head. Caleb passed him the phone, which Gabriel placed next to his ear. “What is it?”

During this period, Serenity had already rushed to the washroom. Yet, upon hearing his deep and thick voice, she had actually turned speechless.

Gabriel seemed to be unsure as to whether she was listening to him or not and said a “hello,” after which Serenity slowly opened her mouth to say, “I’ll not be free for the next few days.”

Gabriel could not understand her and leaned back against his chair while his delicate fingers softly knocked on his table. “Are you busy with work?”

Just then, somebody walked out of the washroom and pressed the tap to wash her hands before taking out her lipstick to touch up her makeup.

Serenity took a glance at the woman and felt a little awkward before stuttering, “I don’t feel well.”

In the afternoon, her menstruation suddenly came and her stomach was in so much pain that she had to ask for a day off from Mr. Langdon.

When she went to work this morning, she realized that she had already brought Gabriel’s clothes along. Thus, she could only bear the pain and sent it to his office. She initially wanted to rest for a while at the cafe before going home, but she did not expect that Caleb would call her.

Although her words sounded a little vague, Gabriel had had so many women in his life. After hearing her hint, he finally understood what she meant by “she was not free.”

He did not have a single hint of awkwardness or discomfort, only raising his hand to look at his watch. It had not even been over thirty minutes since she’d sent the clothes over. “Where are you?”

“I am in the cafe opposite your office.” Her face turned a little pale while she leaned against the door with seemingly no energy left in her.

Gabriel replied with a “wait there” and hung up the call, making her feel very strange and confused.

She came out of the washroom, and it had not been long since she sat there when she saw Caleb walking across the road toward the cafe.

Caleb entered the cafe and slowly walked toward her. He glanced at her pale face and said in a gentle tone of voice, “Ms. Serenity, President Jones told me to send you home.”

Gabriel asking Caleb to come over right now was just as though he was giving her charcoal during winter. She felt very thankful and thanked him.

Caleb smiled and said, “You are welcome. President Jones told me to do so.”

After all, all he did was listen to Gabriel’s orders. Hence, if she really wanted to thank someone, she should thank Gabriel..
