She awkwardly chuckled and gave a witty explanation. “President Jones, my father was afraid that he could not attend to you well, so he asked me to accompany you. In case you need anything, you can ask me anytime. After all, you are our special guest tonight.”
Gabriel gave her an indifferent glare and did not say anything further, only turning around to enter the banquet hall.
Serenity and Sam failed their mission again and decided to leave the hotel when the auction started.
Outside the hotel, Sam dispiritedly sat on the steps. “Serenity, how about we just tell Ms. Lewis to change the interviewee for this week’s celebrity interview? Eh, oh right—” He seemed to have remembered something. “You know President Grant?”
Both of them became partners due to this project, and after hanging out with him for a while, she realized that Sam was not bad as a person. She always treated her friends with sincerity. Hence, she did not want to hide from him. “He is my brother-in-law.”
Sam widened his eyes in astonishment and looked at her with wide-open eyes. It was not until a few moments passed that he silently calmed down his heart.
If President Grant was her brother-in-law and President Grant’s wife was Selena of the Rivers family, didn’t that make her the Serenity of the Rivers family?
She was Serenity of the Rivers family!
His eyes became wider again. She was actually a daughter of a rich family!
In the end, a realization struck him. “No wonder Ms. Lewis asked you, a person from the editorial department, to interview Mayor Hall with me.”
Serenity was well aware of Ms. Lewis’s intention from the start. However, on account of her giving her this job and treating her well, she decided to take on this mission. Yet, the outcome just had to be so disappointing.
“Although I am Benjamin Rivers’ daughter, Mayor Hall still doesn’t want to help me.”
Upon seeing her dejected expression, Sam consoled, “Just as you said, business and politics are not the same. Besides, Mayor Hall doesn’t have to be the one appearing on this week’s celebrity interview.”
“Really?” Ms. Lewis took very good care of her at the magazine agency, yet the mission was not progressing smoothly and there was almost a close to zero chance in completing it. Hence, she still felt like she let her down.
Upon seeing that glint of hope in her eyes, Sam could not bear to pour cold water on her, but he had to say the truth. “Unless Ms. Lewis doesn’t agree to change the interviewee.”
Both of them continued waiting outside of the hotel until the auction ended. A crowd of people came out of the hotel, and first among them was Gabriel, who was immediately surrounded by people the moment he walked out.
Serenity could not help but admit that this man was just like a dazzling star. No matter where he went, he always gave off an eye-catching glow.
With such a handsome appearance, muscular body, as well as a calm and restrained demeanor, he walked out of the hotel at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. Yet, with him at the front, everyone behind him seemed as if they were born to make him look good.
While she was going into a daze, Sam’s sharp eyes noticed Zander walking out of the hotel and quickly dragged her toward him as he wanted to make one final attempt.
Both of them had just walked a little closer to him when Zander immediately furrowed his eyebrows while giving them an icy cold glare. “Would the two of you cut it out?!”
Sam pleaded with him in a soft voice, “Mayor Hall, we need just a few minutes of your time to do a simple interview. The ME Magazine Agency would not write nonsense like how other entertainment news agencies do. Please give us a chance.”
Those people who came to the charity drive today were all people with status and power, which was why they did not have the curiosity of a commoner. They only turned around to take a few glances and did not stay to observe further.
Zander had completely lost his patience and looked at them with his eyes filled with disdain. His stiff expression slowly darkened, and it looked as if he was going to lose his temper until his secretary behind him tug on his clothes and shook his head at him..
