After dinner, Gabriel sent Serenity back. She unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when Gabriel grabbed her wrist.âTell your parents about this as soon as possible. If youâre afraid of being scolded, Iâll do it.â
While Serenity was thinking about how to tell her family this, he continued to say, âIâll give you three days.â
Caleb realized that President Jones was in a good mood these days. Even when a certain high-ranking official had caused a problem at work, he only pointed out the problem and made a few comments without any signs of anger.
However, the more he acted like this, the more everyone felt that something was amiss. A high-ranking executive came out of the presidentâs office and pulled Caleb to his side, anxiously asking, âAssistant Caleb, President Jones was too calm just now. Is he going toâ¦â
âYouâre thinking too much.â Caleb interrupted him, knowing what he was worried about. âPresident Jones has been in a good mood for the past two days, so he wonât hold you accountable. Do you want him to scold you so you can feel better?â
A certain higher-up was very skeptical of his statement. President Jones? Happy? He couldnât tell at all.
Caleb felt that although these high-level leaders were very capable, their observation skills needed to be improved.
With President Jonesâs stoic face, he wouldnât show his happiness on the surface. So how could anyone tell what he was thinking or feeling?
The higher-up left doubtfully, remaining tense for the entire day. He did not receive a call from Gabriel until he got off work. Only then did his anxious heart finally feel at ease.
The employees of Zephyr Group had a total of one and a half hours to eat and rest. Serenity returned to the office after eating while the other colleagues went to the reception room or back to their desks to rest.
Serenity ate with her colleagues in the companyâs cafeteria. One of the dishes was a little salty so she took a cup of water and went to the pantry. After getting some water, she received a call from Gabriel on her way back to the office.
Upon hearing her quiet and gentle voice, Gabrielâs usually indifferent voice softened a little. âCome rest in my office.â
âI donât think thatâs a good idea.â She stopped walking towards the office area, turned around, and went into the coffee shop next door.â If others saw this, they would definitely think I am being violated by my superiors.â
Gabrielâs lips curled up slightly. âNot everyone gets a chance like this.â
She thought about it and felt that it was still inappropriate. âIâll just rest at my desk.â
But Gabriel was not done with the conversation. âDid you know that I had to spend my wedding night alone?â
What a lethal comeback.
Serenity threw her worries aside and immediately stood her ground. âIâll be right there.â
She returned to the office with a glass of water and glanced at her colleagues who were resting on their stomachs. Then, she sneaked into the presidentâs office like a thief.
Gabriel stood up and walked towards her. âWeâre in a legal relationship, yet your sneaky behavior makes it seem like youâre having an affair.â
âThereâs no difference between resting here and out there.â
âI just wanted to talk to you about this.â Gabriel held her in his arms as they walked towards the rest area in his office. âThe radiation from the computer is too strong and will affect the fetus. You should quit your job and focus on being Mrs. Jones at home.â
âNo!â She rejected it immediately.â Itâs boring to stay at home all day doing nothing.â
No one dared to go against Gabrielâs decision so his expression darkened slightly. âThis is also your child. As a mother, you should be responsible for him. Besides, when your belly gets big, youâll be regarded as someone who got pregnant before marriage..ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
