Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Serenity put her cutlery down too and indifferently said, “He just doesn’t want to see me. So no matter how much you cook, you won’t persuade him otherwise.”
‘Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to see me? Why did youe back then?’
She remembered every single word he said yesterday which lingered like thorns in her heart.
Gabriel’s expression turned colder when he heard her words. He walked away to pick up the car keys on the coffee table and grabbed his coat at the entrance.
He must have used too much force because the hanger shook twice and almost fell to the ground.
Gabriel walked out and not long after, the sound of a car engine came from outside.
Mrs. Winstead walked to the living room and saw Gabriel driving away. She returned to the dining room with a gloomy expression. “Young Madam…”
After Gabriel left, Serenity lost her appetite so she stood up and walked towards the stairs.
Mrs. Winstead looked on and sighed heavily. When Young Master had not beening back over the past few weeks, Mrs. Winstead had suspected that it was because a conflict had arisen between the couple. It was indeed the case today.
Gabriel was supposed to attend a dinner party that night, but since he knew he had hurt Serenity, he rejected the invitation and went home to have dinner with his wife, only for such a thing to happen over the meal.
He didn’t want to go back to thepany after leaving South Bay, but he had nowhere to go, so he drove to Palene Hotel.
The door of the private room opened and everyone was surprised to see the man who entered. The happiest person was Linda, who was sitting next to Jack.
Linda was the future heir of Sawyer Group so she had been turning up at thepany to learn the ropes. She had recently been put in charge of a new project that was a coboration between threepanies.
She was hoping Gabriel toe today, so she had dressed up beautifully. However, when he did not arrive at the start of the dinner, she was disappointed. Now that he was here, her mood flipped 180.
Afraid that she would be ridiculed if she made it too obvious, she immediately stopped smiling and rposed herself. She then looked at the man with a smile.
Gabriel nodded his head gently. Jack Sawyer called for the waiter to add a chair for Gabriel. It was unknown whether he did it intentionally or not, but the chair was ced next to Linda. “Linde dear, pour some wine for President Jones.”
Linda happily did as she was told. After all, this was the first time she was in close contact with Gabriel. The man’s handsome eyes and reserved mature temperament made her gaze involuntarily linger for a while longer.
Afraid that he would be disgusted, she restrained her excitement and neatly ced the cutlery set the waiter had brought in.
Gabriel’s arrival surprised and delighted everyone so they toasted him. Though he was not in a good mood, he did not reject anyone. As soon as he finished his drink, Linda automatically filled his cup again.
During the dinner, Linda put on a dignified facade, trying to get his attention. However, the only time Gabriel looked at her was when he first greeted her. After that, there was not even a second look.
Gabriel had to ept several toasts before he could eat. Linda thoughtfully served him a few dishes and said, “President Jones, you should eat some food before drinking to avoid hurting your stomach.”
Zephyr Group was the biggest investor in her project, so the others simply thought that Linda’s actions were to please Gabriel. Moreover, they had always seen her as a magnanimous person, so no one thought too much about it.
Gabriel listened to the person beside him indifferently and did not reply to her. Linda thought that he did not hear her, so she did not mind it too much.
After a while, the others started toasting again. After Gabriel drank the wine in his ss, he picked up his cutlery and pushed the food that she served him to the side. Then, he served himself some food and took a sip of wine..
