Chapter 80: Don’t Disappoint Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Serenity walked out of the building and noticed Gabriel’s car parked by the roadside. She looked around and saw that no one so she quickly opened the car door and got in.

Her guilty conscience made her look like she was having an affair, not a work-related dinner party.

As soon as she got into the car, Caleb, who was sitting in the front row, got out of the car. Gabriel was still flipping through the magazine in his hands slowly and did not look up at all.

The atmosphere in the car was a little strange. She couldn’t help but steal a few glances at him. After a moment of deliberation, she said, “President Jones, erm… 1 don’t have any motive for working at Zephyr Group, and 1 won’t tell anyone about our relationship, so don’t worry.”

Gabriel looked up slowly at her from the corner of his eyes. She was expecting him to say something like, “At least you know what’s good for you.” Or “Smart women are cute.”

But instead, he simply returned his attention to the magazine silently without much of a reaction.

She rubbed her face, which was stiff from smiling, and took out her phone to browse through Facebook out of boredom.

She had just unlocked her phone when she heard Gabriel ask in a low voice, “Was it Benjamin Rivers’s idea?”

She wanted to deny it, but with Gabriel’s wisdom, he would never believe that she had come to Zephyr Group for no reason.

“Of course,” said she frankly.

Gabriel let out a soft sigh but it was hard to tell if he was mocking her.

Caleb had gotten back in and started their journey toward their destination.

The car stopped outside the hotel and Serenity got out first before going to the other side to help Gabriel open his car door.

Gabriel got out of the car and fixed his eyes on her. He said meaningfully, “Don’t disappoint me.”

Before she could think about what he meant, he had already strode towards the hotel. She hurriedly closed the car door and followed him.

When they entered the hotel, the lobby manager greeted them with a smile. “President Jones, this way please.”

The lobby manager led them to a private room. Inside, five or six people were already sitting inside. When Gabriel walked in, the people in the room turned around to look at him.

When Serenity looked at the people, her entire body stiffened. She then regained her composure and followed Gabriel into the private room.

As Gabriel’s secretary, she should be standing behind him, but Gabriel gestured for her to sit down instead.

She was slightly puzzled but still sat down beside him as the rest watched her. As she tucked her hair behind her ear, she tried to steal a glance glancing at the person opposite her.

John Grant was sitting opposite her, wearing only a white shirt and a

red-striped tie. He was looking at her with a deep gaze.

A man in a gray suit asked, “President Jones, is this your new secretary?”

Gabriel calmly grunted in acknowledgment. He took off his coat and handed it to Serenity who hung it up on the coat rack in the corner.

The so-called dinner was not just about eating and drinking. The main purpose was to discuss collaboration potentials. Many of the people present wanted to curry favor with Gabriel. Naturally, there was no lack of toasts.

But Gabriel remained as his usual composed and cool self.” My stomach hasn’t been feeling well recently, so 1 will have my assistant drink on my behalf.”

Serenity was shocked. She did not expect Gabriel to let her drink on his behalf. Moreover, her period was in two days. If she drank today, she would definitely be in pain on the day of her period.

She was still thinking about how to phrase her response when the person who was toasting turned to her with a smile, “May 1 know how to address this young lady?”

“Serenity Rivers.” She gave a simple answer and had no choice but to raise her glass and drink the wine to toast with President Zeigler.

Once one had drunk the first cup, there would naturally be a second cup, a third cup…

She finally understood what Gabriel meant when he told her not to disappoint him earlier..
