Ms. Lewis gave them two weeks to settle the interview. A week had passed, yet Zander Hall had a firm attitude and would not speak up any time soon.
Serenity and Sam proceeded to Ms. Lewis’ office and wanted to tell her about this matter.
Before the two of them went in, they had already mentally prepared themselves and was ready to receive her scoldings. Yet they never thought the Ms. Lewis would look at them in bewilderment as she closed the magazine booklet in her hands and said, “Mayor Hall has already agreed to the interview. Didn’t you know?”
The two people widened their eyes in astonishment. Serenity thought that she had heard wrongly and looked at Sam. But upon seeing Sam’s surprised expression, she knew that she had heard correctly.
The two people walked out of Ms. Lewis’s office in an unimaginable state.
Sam could not get it. “Is Mayor Hall crazy?”
Serenity wanted to know as well. Yesterday, she had utterly offended Mayor Hall and he was very firm in rejecting the interview. It was already something to be grateful for that she did not receive his lawyer’s letter, so why did he suddenly change his mind?
Seeing her troubled look, Sam went closer to her in a secretive manner and asked, “Could it be that your brother-in-law helped us?”
Serenity heaved a sigh, but seeing Sam staring at her, she acted as if nothing happened and smiled. “You wish! He is the president of a large company. How would he have the time to care about such small matters?”
Sam stuck out his tongue at her and proceeded back to his seat to prepare for the interview of Mayor Hall.
For the whole afternoon, Serenity was not in the mood to do her work and was a little absent-minded. She took her phone from the table and walked to the passageway outside. She found a quiet place and typed in that person’s cell phone number with nimble fingers.
As she stared at the bunch of numbers on the screen, she hesitated again. In the end, she had no courage to call that number.
Serenity looked at the tall building before taking a paper bag and entering Zephyr Group. The receptionist was on the phone and motioned to her to wait for a while.
She waited momentarily before the receptionist ended the call and gave her a smile. She said, “May I ask who you are…?”
She smiled. “I’m here to look for President Jones.”
She had just spoken when the receptionist’s smile stiffened. She sized her up with an indiscernible gaze.
Serenity calmly let her size her up and did not show any hint of impatience.
With Gabriel’s social status, there must be many women who came to the company to find him, so the receptionist must have thought her to be the same as them.
After she looked at her, being a staff member of a large company, the receptionist did not show any contempt or frustration. She only retracted her smile and asked her in a professional manner, “Do you have an appointment with him?”
Serenity shook her head and wanted to speak, but the receptionist was a step faster and said, “Sorry, you can’t meet President Jones without an appointment.”
She placed the paper bag on the table and calmly said, “1 never said I wanted to see President Jones. Please pass this to him.”
The receptionist was a little hesitant. “If it is any valuable thing, please pass it to him personally.”
She gave a gentle smile. “They’re just clothes.”
The receptionist then took the bag. After Serenity left, she looked inside the bag and saw that there was an exquisite suit inside it.
Although it was in a common black color, one could see that it was high-quality clothing.
She recalled that Gabriel had worn these clothes before as the buttons were very unique with a beautiful amber color..
