Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Serenity was ecstatic by the time she hung up. She hummed merrily as she started to change out of her pajamas and into her work clothes. Right before leaving her room, Serenity made sure to grab her work bag.
...While changing out of her bedroom slippers and into her work shoes, she looked at the clock. It was almost ten o’clock. Since she was already late, she might as well have some food before leaving.
She went into the kitchen and chased out Mrs. Walter to personally make her meal. Serenity made sure to prepare an extra portion as well.
Lunchtime at the company started at noon. By the time she arrived, it was already 11:50 pm. Afraid that her colleagues would see her, she waited in the lounge on the same floor until twelve before entering.
Serenity had timed it so that by the time she walked in, her colleagues had already gone to eat. She placed her bag on the office table and knocked on Gabriel’s office door with a light meal in her hand. When she heard his ‘come in’, she pushed the door open and entered.
Gabriel looked up and saw that it was her. He looked back at his documents and asked, “What’s the matter?”
She squeezed out a bright smile and went forward to put the light meal on the table. “President Jones, it’s time to eat. I brought you a light meal.”
Gabriel furrowed his brows slightly since she was trying to curry favor with him. However, it was only for a moment before he relaxed and said, “I’m a very picky eater.”
Although she was the second daughter of the Rivers family, she had been living alone in California for a few years, giving her plenty of time to hone her cooking skills. Thus, she was feeling rather confident with her cooking skills.
“You can try it first. If you don’t like it, you can have Caleb order some food for you.”
Upon hearing this, Gabriel put the documents in his hands down, got up from his office chair, and walked over. He sat down at the dining table and saw that the food had been prepared for two people. He raised his eyebrows as he looked at her. “You haven’t eaten yet?”
She had rushed over, afraid that he would go to the restaurant to eat if she was a step late which meant all her effort would only go down the drain. How could she afford to waste time eating before arriving at the office?
Gabriel picked up his utensils. “Let’s eat.”
Serenity felt nervous as she watched Gabriel use his utensils to pick up the food and place it in his mouth. She stared as he chewed a few times before swallowing. Then, she carefully asked, “How is it?”
“Not bad.” Gabriel’s evaluation was not very exciting.
But even so, she was already very satisfied.
Gabriel was born with a silver spoon in his mouth so it was not easy for him to find a meal that was not bad.
She happily picked up some food and gave it to him. “Eat more, then.”
Even John Grant had never eaten the dishes she cooked.
It was not that she didn’t want to cook for him, but she was too young at that time and John Grant had always spoiled her.
When they were still dating and it was his birthday, Serenity wanted to make a cake for him, but he was afraid that she would hurt herself, so he refused.
Afraid that he would get angry if she went against him, she gave up on the idea as well. Now that she thought about it, she realized how ridiculous it had all been.
Caleb approached with food from the food hall. But when he saw that Gabriel was already eating with Serenity, his eyes widened in shock.
No woman had ever had a meal with President Jones in his office. The sight of Serenity and Gabriel having a meal together in there was simply too shocking.
“President Jones, the meal…” Caleb lifted the packed food in his hands.
“I’ve already eaten enough.”
Caleb got the hint and silently left the office with the food in his hands, leaving the two of them alone.
After the meal, Serenity cleaned up the dining table. She did not sleep well last night because of all that anxiety about getting fired. So she was feeling a little sleepy now and wanted to lie on the sofa to rest for a while.
By the time Gabriel was done with the documents, he loosened his collar to relax for a moment. That was when he caught sight of Serenity dozing off on the sofa.
A few minutes later, when he looked up again, she was already asleep, just as he had expected..
