The man red at her, then ignored her and continued to talk on the phone.
She was kind, but she had been hit by a cloud of dust. She felt so bad that she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to take a nap.
A stewardess walked in and stopped in front of her. She said, “Sir, the ne is about to take off. Please turn off your phone.”
The fat man cursed at her and reluctantly turned off his phone.
After the ne took off, Serenity casually picked up a magazine and flipped through it. The man beside her had already fallen asleep and was even snoring. Since the cabin was quite quiet, his snores were deafening.
She turned around to look at him. In fact, she was not the only one as other passengers were also very dissatisfied.
She scratched her head in frustration, wishing she could throw this person out.
She started to me Caleb. What kind of lousy seat did he book?
Helpless, she could only cover her ears with her hands to block out the noise around her.
When sheined about Caleb for the eighth time in her head, he appeared in front of her. He noticed how resentful she looked and rubbed his nose awkwardly. “Miss Serenity, I’ll switch ces with you.”
Her pitch-ck eyes suddenly lit up and her face was filled with unconceble joy. “Really?”
Caleb saw how her mood flipped 180 andughed. “Of course.”
Since he had offered, she could not be med for being unkind. She picked up her backpack and walked towards Gabriel before taking her seat beside him.
Gabriel was reading the newspaper. His long and slender legs were crossed over one another. His head was slightly lowered and his side profile was cold yet handsome.
His body carried a faint mint fragrance mixed with a faint hint of tobo. It was very pleasant to smell.
As soon as she got close to him, she could smell a refreshing scent that made her feelfortable.
It would take seven to eight hours to travel from Ands to the United States. She yawned and gradually fell asleep.
When Gabriel felt a weight on his shoulder, he turned to take a look. Serenity had fallen asleep on his shoulder.
The temperature on the ne was a little low and a stewardess happened to pass by. He asked the stewardess for a thin nket and covered her with it.
When he moved, she let out a soft whimper as if she was feeling ufortable. She snuggled up against his shoulders and hugged his arms with both hands before falling asleep again.
He frowned slightly and continued to flip through the newspaper.
When Serenity woke up and realized that she was leaning on Gabriel’s arm, she immediately sat up straight. Gabriel put away the newspaper in his hand and pressed down on his arm which had gone numb. “1 thought you were going to sleep all the way to America.”
She smiled awkwardly as she watched him stretch his arms. She embarrassedly said, “You could have woken me up.”
Gabriel looked at her and did not say anything. Then, he got up and went to the washroom.
When the nended, it was already past six in the evening. The other party’spany had arranged for someone to pick them up – his name was Johnson, the person in charge of the acquisition of Tensel Corporation.
Johnson was a handsome man in his thirties. He extended a hand to Gabriel. “President Jones, it must have been a long and exhausting journey.”
Gabriel shook Johnson’s hand and smiled politely. The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries before they arrived at the hotel.
Gabriel’s, Caleb’s, and Serenity’s rooms were next to each other. They went into their rooms to put their things and then went to eat.
Johnson took them to a restaurant and left, leaving the three of them for dinner.
The ce was a high-end restaurant on the street. Upon finishing their dinner, they returned to the hotel.
Serenity came out of the bathroom and realized that Gabriel was in her room. He had already taken a shower and was wearing casual clothes though his hair was still a little wet..
