Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Awaiter walked over with a ss of champagne and Gabriel and Serenity each took a ss. Gabriel looked back at President
Wilbur with his dark eyes and calmly said, “President Wilbur, you’re quite the jokester. It’s already nighttime, so why would the
sun be rising now?”
President Wilbur studied Serenity from the corner of his eyes and smiled. “President Jones, aren’t you going to introduce your
companion?”
Gabriel frankly said, “This is Serenity, my femalepanion tonight.”
Most in the world of business had a shrewd mind, and President Wilbur was no different. Curiosity got the better of him as he
started to wonder about the rtionship between the two as he politely greeted Serenity.
“Miss Serenity, President Jones never brings a femalepanion to a banquet. To be the first one to get his attention, you must
count your lucky stars.”
Serenity still had her arm in Gabriel’s so she raised her ss of champagne in one hand and said with a smile, “It is indeed my
honor.”
Since it was the first time Gabriel brought a femalepanion to a business banquet, there was quite a stir in the hall.
The man was dressed in a suit while the woman was quiet and elegant. With such a handsome man and beautiful woman, it was
hardly an exaggeration to say that they made a very eye-catching andpatible couple.
Almost everyone''s gazended on Gabriel and Serenity. Some looked incredulous, some were shocked, some were jealous, and
some were already letting their imaginations go wild as they wondered about the couple’s true rtionship.
As the whispers of spections grew increasingly outrageous, John’s grip on his champagne ss grew so tight that his
knuckles turned white and his veins started to bulge.
Selena looked at him and, equally as shocked as the others. “Serene... When did she... She and Gabriel... What''s their
rtionship?”Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
John looked at the couple through the crowd and his pitch-ck eyes seemed to be shrouded in ayer of mist, making it
impossible to see his emotions.
Quite a number of people began to approach Gabriel to chat him up. Since Serenity did not know them, she walked away with
her champagne. But she was not spared as many socialites still approached her with greetings and inquiries about her
rtionship with Gabriel Jones.
“| work at Zephyr Group.” She decided to be honest about her answer.
However, little did she know that it only added fuel to the mes of curiosity and gossip. A socialite sourly said, “For President
Jones to bring Miss Serenity here today, he must treat you quite differently from his other employees. How lucky you are. Tell us,
how did you get to know President Jones so well?”
The rest were also very curious about how she and Gabriel met and how she managed to attract him.
With a smile on her face, she did not hesitate to say, “Purely by chance.”
But the crowd was clearly not satisfied as one of them asked, “Are the two of you here as a superior and his subordinate or as a
couple?”
“I''m his femalepanion today.” Serenity was starting to get annoyed by their questions but she still maintained some level of
patience as she responded to them with a dignified smile on her face.
And once more, her answer was not what they wanted to hear — the crowd was disappointed. Some started to disperse but that
only left the persistent few.
Serenity took a sip of her champagne before saying to the rest, “I’m sorry, please excuse me.”
She ced the champagne on a tray of a passing waiter, walked through the crowd, and out of the banquet hall to the garden
outside to get some fresh air.
The sky was like an ink painting as the stars twinkled like diamonds. The soft light of the moon shone through the quiet night,
creating quite a few beautiful illusions.
She wasn’t used to noisy ces so the barrage of questions made her ear feel a little numb. She walked along a small path
under the light of the streetmps, stretching her shadow..
