Serenity took a step to the side and Gabriel walked out. He closed the office door and walked towards the elevator in an orderly manner. As he walked, he put on his suit jacket.

Serenity picked up her bag from the office table and quickly followed. The empty and quiet office area was filled with the messy sound of leather shoes and high heels.

Gabriel’s legs were long and his steps were big. He walked to the elevator before her and pressed the button to activate the elevator. Gabriel adjusted his cufflinks when he suddenly remembered something. His hands were fumbling around in his pockets.

Serenity was standing behind him. When she saw his actions, she stuck her head out and asked, “President Jones, what’s wrong?”

After Gabriel confirmed that he did not bring it, he said calmly, “I left my phone in the office.”

“I’ll go get it now.”

Serenity returned to the president’s office and pushed open the office door. She heard her phone ringing. She walked closer to the desk and saw the words “Old Manor” on the screen. It rang for a while before it hung up automatically.

She picked up his phone and walked to the office door. His phone rang again, and it was still showing the number of the old manor.

The person had already called twice in a row. She was afraid that something urgent had happened, so she hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

Before she could say anything, she heard a middle-aged woman’s voice on the other end of the phone. “Gabriel, you need to come home right now.”

“President Jones isn’t here right now.” Serenity said slowly. Afraid that the other party would misunderstand, she paused for a moment and introduced herself. “I’m his secretary.”

The other party was silent for a moment before the voice sounded again.’Tell him what 1 just said.”

She could roughly guess that the other party was Gabriel’s mother, so she replied gently, “Yes, Madam.”

She thought that Gabriel would go down first, but she didn’t expect him to wait for her by the elevator. She handed her phone to him and said, “Mrs. Jones called just now. I was afraid that it was an emergency, so 1 picked up. She asked you to come home tonight.”

She glanced at his expression from the corner of her eye. After all, it was rude to answer his call without his consent.

Gabriel opened the call log. There was indeed a call log from the old manor. The call lasted for fourteen seconds, and there was also a missed call from the old manor.

They were taking the president’s elevator, so the elevator had always stopped at this floor. Gabriel put his phone back into his pocket and entered the elevator.

Serenity saw that his expression was the same and there were no signs of anger. She then secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The two of them took the elevator directly to the parking lot on the basement level. Gabriel waited at the same spot while Serenity went to get the car.

During this period, Gabriel called the old manor back. It was a servant who answered the call. He told the servant that he had an important dinner at night and would not be returning to the old manor. He would be going back tomorrow night.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Serenity and Gabriel entered a private room under the lead of the lobby manager. There were four to five people sitting inside. This was the first time Serenity was seeing Calvin Gilbert after half a month.

He was wearing a dark blue suit. When the door of the private room opened, he was talking to the person beside him. The door of the private room was pushed open by the lobby manager who was walking in front of him, interrupting their conversation. When he saw the two of them, he was stunned.

The other people in the private room stood up and shook hands with Gabriel. Gabriel shook hands with everyone with a cold expression and then sat down. Serenity sat down on his left.

Someone recognized Serenity as the Miss Serenity of the Rivers family. “Mr. Gilbert, the secretary beside President Jones seems to be your fiancee, right?”

Serenity was wearing a work suit, so even without introducing herself, everyone could guess that she worked at Zephyr Group and was Gabriel’s secretary..
