She turned around and saw Gabriel standing behind her. It was indeed rude of her to peek, and now she had been caught.
âWhy are you out here too?â She smiled awkwardly.
Gabriel raised his left arm and tapped the dial on his wrist. Although he did not say it explicitly, she knew that he was referring to the fact that she had been away for a long time.
Meanwhile, in the private room of which they were standing outside, Julian Hall hugged his female companion and looked down at the woman kneeling before him. âIâll give you a sum of money to abort the child.â
Although Serenity pitied Faye, that was the extent to which she would do for her. Serenity was not stupid enough to provoke Julian Hall for a stranger.
Faye could only blame herself for falling in love with the wrong person, Julian Hall the scumbag.
Everyone in Andalas knew what kind of person Julian Hall was, everyone except Faye.
At the other end of the corridor, a person rushed over: Calvin Gilbert. When he saw Serenity Rivers, he was stunned for a moment. But he did not bother to greet her as rushed into the private room and pulled Faye up from the ground.
Calvin looked quickly between the ruffian-like Julian Hall and the crying Faye before asking what had happened.
Serenity was about to return to the private room but stopped in her tracks. Oh, a hero saving a damsel in distress. However, based on Calvin Gilbertâs behavior, he probably did not know about the entanglement between Faye and Julian Hall.
Calvinâs appearance here wasnât surprising otherwise because Berlin Restaurant was a property of the Gilbert family.
Gabriel was slightly displeased with Serenityâs current behavior. With a frown, he asked, âStill not leaving?â
Serenity smiled awkwardly at him and quickly followed him back to their private room.
The moment they entered, the dishes had already been served. All that was left for them was to seat themselves at the table. After a few bites of the dishes, Gabrielâs phone rang. He picked it up but did not say anything immediately, simply listening to the other party quietly. However, his expression did not look too good.
After he hung up, Serenity curiously asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Gabriel Jones wiped his mouth with his napkin slowly. âSomething came up that I have to deal with. Iâll be leaving first.â
She was tempted to act like other women, to cling on to him sulkily so that he would stay to finish the meal with her. But she knew that she couldnât and wouldnât.
To Gabriel Jones, she was just a bedwarmer, not a lover. Their relationship was simply sexual.
Ever since she started her relationship with Gabriel, she had treated him as her half-boyfriend.
And it was only because they only had a relationship in bed.
Other than asking about her well-being, a real boyfriend would also be at her beck and call. However, it was obvious this was impossible for Gabriel Jones.
The man stood up and took his coat. When he reached the door, Serenity Rivers suddenly said, âWait a minute.â
He turned around and looked at her in confusion as she put down the utensils in her hand and slowly stood up as the chair scraped against the ground.
She walked over to him with a smile, tidied up his crooked tie clip, and tiptoed to kiss his cheeks. âYou owe me todayâs meal but you can pay me back another day.â
Gabriel Jones used his thumb to wipe the place she had kissed, which was quite close to his red lips. His eyes narrowed as he asked, âWhy?â
She blinked her eyes in disbelief. With a lowered head, she softly said, âItâs rare for you to have a meal with me, but since something came up and cut our quality time together short, donât you think that you owe me an arrangement of a replacement meal?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI donât like women who push their luck,â said Gabriel gently with a frown.
She stuck out her tongue playfully and pushed him out with a smile. âI was just joking with you..â
