Gabriel’s brows furrowed slightly. He unbuttoned his other cufflink and sat on the executive chair. The transparent lunch box was brightly colored and looked very good. He could even smell a faint fragrance.
Caleb looked at the breakfast, trying to figure out where and why Francesca bought it. But he could tell it was made well and felt a little greedy.
Gabriel put the lunch box aside and turned on his computer. Caleb began to report his schedule for the day. When he mentioned that President Linde had invited him for afternoon tea, he interrupted him. “Refuse it.”
“Alright.” Caleb continued his report. After he was done, he said, “President Jones, you have to eat breakfast while it’s hot.”
Gabriel took the important documents that needed to be signed every morning. Then, he reached into the pen holder for a pen. Just as he placed the pen cap on the table, it rolled down the table and fell into the trash can.
He bent down to pick up the pen cap from the trash can and saw a small ball of paper inside. He frowned slightly. Every day at 7:30 am, a cleaner would come to his office to clean and throw away the trash. The trash bag was new, so where did the trash come from?
He picked up the small ball of paper with two fingers and opened it. Although it was already wrinkled, the elegant handwriting could still be seen clearly. It read: ‘Breakfast is very important to the body, remember to eat it.’
There was even a smiley face at the back. It was a very childish expression, but one could imagine her bright and beautiful smile.
He glanced at the lunchbox beside him. She was the one who brought breakfast. Heh, was she hoping this could bribe him?
He didn’t need to think to know why the note was in the trash can. It was Francesca. As his secretary, Francesca not only had to do her job well but also had to deal with the girls who tried to get close to him.
He remembered that Caleb had sent the information about Serenity and John to his email last night. He opened his email.
The information was very detailed. It even wrote clearly why Serenity was sent to Willow Town. There were also all sorts of things that happened when they were in school. She always liked to chase after him, and he always protected her.
They met when they were five, parted when they were thirteen, and reunited when they were sixteen. She went to California when she was twenty, and he married her sister, Selena.
Gabriel’s gaze was stern and the corners of his lips curled into a cold smile. They were childhood sweethearts. He raised his hand to take the lunch box on the table and threw it into the trash can.
When it was lunchtime, everyone went to the dining hall one after another. Serenity saw Gabriel coming out of the office, leaving with Caleb.
Seeing that everyone had left, she went into Gabriel’s office to get the lunch box. She searched the entire office but could not find it. She glanced at the white lunch box in the trash can and was stunned.
She woke up early to make breakfast, but it was lying alone in the trash can as if she had been abandoned.
When Gabriel was waiting for the elevator, he realized he did not bring his wallet along. He returned to his office and saw that the door was ajar. He paused in his tracks as he looked coldly at the woman who was standing in front of his desk in a daze.
She lowered her gaze and looked at the trash can by her feet. There was a strand of hair hanging by her temples that stuck to her cheek which made her look more charming.
Gabriel pursed his sharp lips as complicated emotions appeared in his eyes. Finally, he withdrew his hand from the doorknob and turned to leave.
Looking at the things in the trash can, Serenity felt very upset. The corners of her mouth curled up in a faint mocking smile.
She took a deep breath and let out all the pent-up anger in her chest. She left the office and closed the door behind her..
