The air-conditioner in the office had been set to a rtively low temperature so Serenity had unconsciously wrapped her arms
around herself. Soon, Gabriel heard a slight cough.
He looked up at her and continued to browse through the information on theputer. After a few minutes, he heard her cough
again. He started to feel slightly frustrated and lost concentration for work.
He got up and took his coat from the cloakroom to cover her with it. Feeling as if his frustration had been appeased, he was
ready to go back to work. Two stepster, he thought of something. Gabriel turned back to look at Serenity.
If someone came and saw her sleeping in his office, he didn’t want to wait to find out how much chaos it would cause.
It would also affect her future work.
He went up to her and loudly said, “Serenity Rivers?”
She must have been really sleepy because she simply muttered something softly before flipping over to the other side.
He frowned and picked her up to be carried to the lounge in the office — there was a bed there. He then pulled the thin nket
over her.
She looked very peaceful while sleeping. As he watched her sleep, he noticed her long and curly eyshes on her small face
framed by smooth ck hair.
When he hugged her just now, he did not need to use much strength. She was too thin.
By the time Serenity woke up, she realized that she had been moved to Gabriel’s private lounge. She was extremely surprised
and hurriedly looked at the time. Seeing that there were still a few minutes before work resumed, she heaved a sigh of relief.
There was only one door between the lounge and the President''s office. Still slightly in a sleepy daze, she opened the door
without hesitation.
Other than Gabriel, there was another person from the secretary’s office with him. She was an intellectual and beautiful woman
named Xochitl Cameron.
Frank had applied for leave so Xochitl took over his duties for the rest of the day. She was reporting the afternoon schedule to
Gabriel when she heard the door open. So she instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
When she saw Serenitying out of President Jones’s private lounge, she was shocked and in disbelief.
Serenity smiled awkwardly at her and knew that she was done for. She would definitely be the topic of gossip among her
colleagues for the next two days at least.
Gabriel gave a quick and indifferent nce at Serenity before looking away. He said to Xochitl, “Inform them of the meeting at
two o''clock. Tell them that no one can be absent.”
Xochitl took the schedule from his hand and smiled professionally. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, 1’11 be taking my leave.”
Gabriel nodded. When he walked past Serenity, he gave her a meaningful look.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
After Xochitl left, the office returned to silence. Serenity looked at Gabriel and said. “I’m going out to work.”
Gabriel was buried in his documents again and did not say a word until thendline rang, breaking the silence in the office. He
picked up the receiver and ced it beside his ear. “Hello...”
Serenity opened the door and left the office, returning to her seat to start working.
After working for two hours straight, her eyes started to feel a little tired. She took a cup to the pantry to get some water. Just as
she reached the pantry, she heard voicesing from inside.
“No wonder she was able to enter thepany so easily. It turns out that she’s hooked up with President Jones. | didn’t expect
her to be that kind of person.”
“| had thought that it was Mr. Frank that she was close to, seeing how well he watches over her. Now that 1 think about it, it’s
most likely because she’s President Jones’s bed warmer so he had instructed Mr. Frank to take good care of her.”
“She’s as thin as a green bean. 1 wonder what President Jones sees in her.”
As the women in the pantry chatted away happily, none of them noticed the main character of their gossip standing outside the
door..
