Chapter 205: A Thrilling Scene
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While Gabriel and Caleb busied themselves at the construction site, Serenity took a nap in another room of the presidential suite.
She woke up just before 10:30 a.m. and recalled Gabriel asking her to prepare dinner before he left. Did that mean they wouldn’t be back for lunch?
He was not used to eating the food in Jonan City, so how was he going to settle his lunch?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt the onset of a migraine. She was just lamenting about being relegated to being his nanny, and now it was as if she had embraced her role.
She took the room card and went to the supermarket to buy some groceries. When she arrived back at the suite, she quickly cooked up a lunch meal, ate her portion, and then packed the rest into two lunchboxes. And just like earlier in the morning, she left the dishes in the sink and left.
Serenity hailed for a taxi to take her to the construction site at noon.
Mr. Lang, the supervisor at the construction site, had just received Gabriel’s instructions to order lunch. Just as he walked out of the safety zone, he saw Serenity approach and politely asked, “Miss Rivers, what brings you here?”
They had just met last night so Serenity still remembered him. Calmly, she said, “Jonan City’s food is sweet which isn’t something President Jones is used to, so I’m here to bring him food.”
Mr. Lang immediately understood what she meant and said, “President Jones is still inspecting one of our sites. You can find him once you walk straight ahead. If you don’t see him, feel free to ask anyone.”
“Thank you, Mr. Lang,” said she gently.
With a gentlemanly smile on his face, Mr. Lang said, “Be careful when you enter.”
She thanked him politely again and entered the construction area with the lunchbox in her hand. As she walked, she heard the rumbling of machines and cranes.
The construction area was very large but she could already see Gabriel surrounded by a group of people from afar. His tall and straight figure stood out from the crowd despite wearing a blue safety helmet just like the rest of the crowd.
She suddenly touched her head. Did everyone who entered the construction area have to wear a safety helmet?
Gabriel was listening to William explain the properties of the materials he had purchased this time when he heard someone suddenly say, “Who is that woman? Why is she at the construction site?”
Gabriel turned to see Serenity standing quietly a dozen meters away in a T-shirt and a pair of tight-fitting pants. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, perfectly framing her beautiful face.
William pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “It’s Miss Rivers.”
Gabriel took off the construction gloves and handed them to Caleb as he approached Serenity without much of an expression on his face.
When Serenity saw Gabriel walking towards her quickly, her heartbeat suddenly sped up.
The crane operator saw a woman standing below and shouted, “Hey you! Standing down there! Move out of the way!”
Gabriel instantly looked up and his face turned serious immediately.
Caleb and the others were also shocked by the sudden change in events.
Meanwhile, all Serenity could only hear was the rumbling of machines in her ears, completely missing the crane operator’s shouts.
Gabriel rushed forward and pushed her to the ground with a hand on her head as they rolled out of harm’s way.
There was a loud clang as a piece of steel fell from the crane and landed where Serenity was standing. A layer of dust rose from the ground that was blown away by the wind.
Caleb and the others quickly approached the couple and helped them up. The shocking scene was still burned in their minds.
Since he had used his hand to protect Serenity’s head from the impact of the fall, the back of Gabriel’s hand was injured and blood was seeping out. The crowd’s faces turned pale at the sight of their boss bleeding..
