Chapter 162: Make Sure Nothing Goes Wrong
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
President Jones had called Francesca to get her to inform the Rivers family that Serenity would be staying with Francesca for the night. Although she was puzzled at the time, she did not dare to ask too much. But Francesca had her suspicions.
It was quite strange. President Jones had always been a man of principle. Since their relationship had already ended, what happened between the two last night?
Serenity felt relieved when she heard Francesca’s words. “Thank you, Ms. Francesca.”
“You’re welcome.” Francesca looked around and saw that everyone was busy with their work. She lowered his voice and said, “Last night, what did you and President Jones…”
She did not mean to pry into President Jones’s private matters, but she found it unbelievable. All these years, President Jones never broke his rules for any woman.
However, this woman…
Serenity could guess what she wanted to ask and calmly said, “Nothing happened last night.”
Francesca instantly believed her words without a doubt. After all, she had been by President Jones’s side for so many years and knew what kind of person he was.
Caleb knocked on the door of the president’s office and heard a low voice saying, “Come in.” Caleb pushed the door open and entered.
There was no one on the chair behind the desk – Gabriel was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window. The sunlight shone through the transparent glass, making his figure look tall and slender.
The temperature in the room was just right so he was only wearing a sapphire blue shirt while his long legs were wrapped under his trousers. His calm aura had an eye-catching charm.
Caleb stood in front of Gabriel’s desk and reported on what he had been instructed to do last night. “The various media outlets were prepared to report that you and Miss Serenity attended the banquet together last night, but they have been dealt with.”
Gabriel turned around and sat back on the leather office chair. “John?”
A look of surprise flashed across Caleb’s face. “How did you know?”
Gabriel twirled the fountain pen in his hand, his deep and boundless eyes dark and calm. “We have to make sure that nothing goes wrong.”
Caleb said, “Yes.”
Since Serenity had not been at work for an entire week and her first day back happened to be a Monday, she was busy the entire morning.
After she was done with her work, she picked up the phone on the table but her screen did not light up.
Her phone battery was still full last night.
She pressed the power button and waited for a few seconds. The screen finally lit up. She looked at the upper right corner and saw that the battery was indeed full.
There was a red mark for missed calls in her phone book. She opened the app and saw that John had called four times starting 10:45 pm last night while Selena called once.
A minute later, there was another buzz from her phone as a series of messages came in. They were call transfer messages since her phone had been turned off.
She knew the numbers in the messages by heart and saw that the last message came in at 12:01 am last night.
She held her phone in silence for a while before deleting all the messages and missed calls.
After work, she walked out of the building with her colleagues. There was a Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside that she found familiar.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing John’s well-defined facial features. His expression was tense and terrifying. “Get in the car.”
His car was parked very conspicuously, attracting the attention of many people. When the others saw his face, they exclaimed. “Oh my god, it’s John!”
Serenity pursed her lips and wanted to turn around to leave. However, she was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she hesitated for a moment before walking closer to his vehicle.
Alfred got out of the car and opened the door for her. She bent down and sat in. Although the air conditioner was on, there was still a strong smell of tobacco. She frowned..
