Chapter 275

Violet went upstairs, changed into a set of casual clothes, and went downstairs to meet Gabriel.

The first thing she saw was Gabriel sitting on the sofa in the lobby, looking especially eye-catching in the crowd.

She walked over quickly. “Let’s go! We’ll come back after a walk. It’s time for lunch!”

Gabriel smiled and nodded. As soon as he left the hotel, his burgundy hair became even more apparent under the sunlight.

Gabriel’s expression was unruly.

If it were before Violet knew Gabriel, she would have stayed away from him. But now, when Gabriel saved her, she had already treated him as a friend.

She could tell that although Gabriel looked like a thug, he was a nice man.

After taking a few steps, Violet suddenly remembered that when Gabriel came to look for her in the lobby, he seemed to have walked in from outside..

She looked at Gabriel curiously. “By the way, since you’re on the mountain, where do you live?”

Gabriel pointed at the green forest beside Mount Summerwood Resort & Spa. “Over there! There’s a private villa a distance away. I live over there!”

Violet nodded in understanding of what he meant. She had guessed that Gabriel would not stay in a suite at Mount Summerwood Resort & Spa.

Gabriel suddenly looked at Violet and said meaningfully, “Speaking of which, althought the villa over there is private, it was also planned and built with Mount Summerwood Resort & Spa!”

Violet understood. “You’re saying that the private villa over there was owned by the same developer as Mount Summerwood Resort & Spa!”

Gabriel smiled and gave her a smart look. “Yes, they were all developed by the Stanton family!”

Violet was stunned. His expression changed. “Freddie Stanton?”

Gabriel laughed. He clicked his tongue and said in a soft voice, “You know Freddie? Then do you know the Stanton family and the Herse…

Before Gabriel could finish speaking, he suddenly heard someone shout Violet’s name.

He and Violet turned around at the same time and saw Patrick standing not far in front of them. Nelson seemed to be reporting something to him.

Violet looked a little stunned. “Mr. Hersey. Mr. Massy!”

Patrick looked at Violet and Gabriel standing together. He frowned and was about to say something.

Suddenly, Riley walked out from the side path and said with a smile, “Mr. Hersey, the environment on this mountain is really good!”

Violet’s expression froze when she saw Riley walking over to them.

After Riley finished speaking, she seemed to have just seen Violet. She stared at Violet and Gabriel with an ambiguous expression and sized them up. She said meaningfully, “I didn’t know Ms. Webb and Mr. Williamson have such a good relationship!”

Displeasure flashed across Violet’s face. Her voice was cold and harsh. “Mr. Hersey, may I know why you called me just now?”

Patrick looked at Gabriel beside Violet and felt that it was an eyesore. He said in a low voice, “It’s nothing serious. I’m just asking what you’re doing. Don’t run around. The company has to be responsible for the safety of every employee!”

Violet pursed her l*ps. “Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Hersey. I’ll be careful. I’m just walking along the road. The company can’t possibly detain all the employees in the hotel!”

Patrick’s expression stiffened slightly, and his tone was a little unpleasant. “The company paid for you to come to the team building to let the company employees interact more, not for you to interact with non-company personnel!”

Violet only felt that Patrick had a beautiful lady by his side. So, he didn’t like her and kept looking for trouble.

Her expression was a little unpleasant. “I understand. I’ll be back later after a walk!”

Violet looked at Gabriel. “Gabriel, let’s go!”

Gabriel smiled as he watched the show. When he heard Violet’s words, he curled his l*ps. and immediately followed Violet. He reached his hand behind him and gave Patrick the middle finger.

Patrick’s handsome face turned gloomier.

Riley raised his eyebrows and said, “Mr. Hersey, the air on the mountain is so good. Why don’t we take a walk, too?”

Patrick’s voice was emotionless. “That’s a good suggestion!”

With that, he glanced at Nelson. “If there’s any work, wait for me to come back!”

After Patrick finished speaking, he strode toward where Violet and Gabriel had left.

A meaningful smile flashed across Riley’s face.

Since Patrick rejected her because of Violet, she would let Patrick see how Violet was solicitous and flattering to other men.

To be honest, she really did not expect Violet to have such ability. She could seduce Patrick and have such a good relationship with Gabriel.

Patrick walked not far behind Gabriel and Violet, observing them.

Gabriel was sensitive, to begin with. He immediately sensed that someone was following behind him. Moreover, the other party did not seem to have any intention of hiding.

He turned his head slightly and saw the gloomy Patrick

A cold glint flashed across Gabriel’s eyes.

He smiled and deliberately reached out to take a leaf from the top of Violet’s head. He smiled and said, “Look, the leaf landed on your head!”

Violet was still thinking about the scene just now. Her voice sounded a little gloomy. “Really? I didn’t even notice!”

Not far behind him, Patrick clenched his fists. He wished he could chop off Gabriel’s hand and feed them to the dogs.

Violet thought of what Patrick had interrupted her. She looked at Gabriel. “What did you want to say to me before?”

When Gabriel heard this, he hesitated for a moment and smiled. “Nothing!”

He suddenly changed his mind. He did not want Violet and Patrick to be entangled too much, so he did not want her to know too much about Patrick.

Violet saw that Gabriel did not want to talk about it, so he did not ask further.

Gabriel would find a topic to chat with Violet from time to time. Violet was a little distracted.

They walked along the road until they reached a stand at the top of the mountain. Violet turned to look at the scenery beside him and suddenly saw Patrick and Riley not

far away.

Riley happened to be looking at Violet. Their eyes met.

Riley suddenly tilted and pulled Patrick’s arm, falling into his arms. “Oh, Mr. Hersey, I think I sprained my ankle!”

Patrick frowned in disgust when Riley grabbed his arm. “Go back on your own if you sprained your ankle. Don’t tell me you want me to carry you?”

Riley looked at Patrick pitifully. “How would I dare to have such thoughts? However, can you hold me first, Mr. Hersey? I should at least call someone to come over and get me!”

Patrick looked at her coldly. “I’m already nice enough by not throwing you on the ground. Riley, my patience is limited. What do you want to help me with? There’s a tree. beside me. Stay away from me!”

Riley’s expression changed again. She had never seen such an unromantic man.

In the end, she gave herself to fate and found a tree to support herself. She stood on one foot not far from Patrick and called her assistant.

Although her foot was not injured, she still had to put on a show.

Violet looked at the scenery for a while and-remembered that Patrick and Riley were not far behind her. He was extremely frustrated and could not watch anymore.

She calmly said to Gabriel, “Let’s go back first!”

Gabriel smiled. “Let’s go then!”

As soon as the two of them turned around, Patrick’s hands and feet immediately. stiffened. He looked a little helpless.

Who was Riley? She had filmed so many scenes, so she was still very attentive to microexpressions.

When she saw Patrick’s expression was not right, she immediately gave him a way out and said gently, “Mr. Hersey, this place is really beautiful. Can you take a photo of me?”
