Chapter 200: The Anticipation in Her Heart
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I didn’t ask for this.” Serenity was confused.
The waiter smiled as he explained that the guest in room 8866 ordered it for her.
Serenity took the brown sugar water from the waiter and felt the strings in her heart strummed again, causing ripples to spread in her heart.
Once she drank the brown sugar water, her stomach felt warm. She looked at the phone on the bedside table and hesitated for a while before giving Gabriel a call. It had been a long time since someone had shown such concern for her.
Gabriel had just finished tying his tie when his phone rang beside him. Her name was displayed on the screen so he took the phone and put it to his ear. When he heard her words of thanks, he smiled. “There’s a welcome banquet tonight. 1 just don’t want to see you sick when 1 need you.”
His calm explanation made Serenity’s surging emotions fall to the bottom of the lake.
So that was the case.
Serenity hung up in disappointment and laughed at herself. He only said that he had different feelings for you, but he didn’t say that he liked you. What exactly were you hoping for?
And that was when she shocked herself.
Was she looking forward to it?
Was she looking forward to receiving Gabriel’s concern?
Hoping that Gabriel would like her?
When a woman had expectations for a man, it meant that she was moved.
She was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to continue thinking about it.
At six o’clock in the evening, William came to the hotel to pick them up. She and Caleb went to the lobby first. Gabriel walked out of the elevator and saw that she was wearing a rose-red dress. His brows furrowed slightly.
Serene thought his reaction meant that she had dressed inappropriately so she lowered her head to take a look. But she didn’t think there was anything wrong.
After about twenty minutes, the car stopped in front of a clubhouse. William and Caleb went to the parking lot to park the car while Gabriel and Serenity waited in the temporary resting area of the clubhouse.
“Jonan City is near the river so it’s not like Andalas. The wind will be very strong at night,” said Gabriel all of a sudden.
Shen Serene was puzzled by his words. “What?”
“Wearing such a dress when you’re not feeling well?” Gabriel looked at her expressionlessly.
Serenity thought of wearing jeans, but had a feeling that would be more inappropriate. That was why she changed into a dress. When she heard him say this, she felt a little wronged. “I’m just afraid that 1’11 embarrass you.”
“One more embarrassment doesn’t make too much of a difference in my account book.”
Serenity;’s eyes widened. What did he mean and when was the last time she embarrassed him?
William and Caleb finally joined them as they entered the clubhouse and the group followed William to the private room. William pushed the door of the private room open, and everyone sitting inside looked over. Then, they stood up and said in unison, “President Jones.”
His aura was strict and respectful, with a hint of grandeur. He was also wearing a three-piece suit, which made him look like the king of the underworld.
Serenity was shocked and turned to look at Caleb, who looked relatively calm. She instantly understood that Caleb had been by Gabriel’s side for many years and had probably seen such a scene many times.
William moved to the side to make way for Gabriel. Gabriel nodded at everyone with a dull expression and strode into the private room. He swept his gaze across everyone indifferently before saying, “Have a seat.”
After Gabriel sat down, Serenity and Caleb sat on either side of him. William left to instruct the waiter to quickly serve the dishes.
A glass of wine was soon placed in front of Serenity. But without missing a beat, Gabriel said, “Get her a glass of warm milk..”
