Chapter 242: Don’t Take It To Heart

She suppressed the anger in her heart and gritted her teeth with a smile. “If it’s possible, please give me a ride, President Jones. I’m going to be late for work, and it’s not easy to get a taxi here.”

According to Serenity’s request, the car stopped 200 meters away from Zephyr Group. Serenity walked to the company and immediately looked for Francesca to cancel her leave.

When Francesca saw her coming to work, she didn’t look surprised at all. He only said, “Okay, no problem.” She acted as if nothing had happened, as if she had already known that he would come to cancel her leave.

Serenity found it strange. Could it be that Gabriel had already informed her?

However, in reality, on the day she applied for leave, Francesca had sent an urgent document to Gabriel’s office and mentioned, “Serenity is getting engaged and will be talcing days off.”

She had also wanted to take this opportunity to test Gabriel’s attitude towards Serenity. After all, Gabriel had no other woman after Serenity.

Gabriel did not even raise his head and said indifferently, “There’s no need to report it to HR.”

Francesca was surprised. Even Caleb and she had never taken leave from work President Jones but Serenity had actually received special care from him.

However, when Serenity came to cancel her leave today, she finally understood that everything was within President Jones’s expectations.

In the afternoon, Serenity overheard the discussion between her colleagues in the washroom. She was in the cubicle, and the sound of running water and gloating discussions could be heard from outside.

“I really thought that she was going to marry into the Gilbert family and become the young mistress of a wealthy family. 1 didn’t expect it to be a false hope.”

Another voice sighed unwillingly, “No matter how bad Miss Rivers is, she can at least be considered a rich young lady, and we are just a laborious life. God is really unfair.”

“So what if she’s a rich missy? I’m afraid she won’t be one after a while. Rivers Group is on the verge of death now. How long can she be a rich missy? Otherwise, why would she abandon her good position and come to Zephyr Group to work?”

“That’s true.”

Serenity only came out of the cubicle when she heard that the conversation outside had stopped. She stood in front of the sink and turned on the tap, washing her hands absentmindedly.

Although she was born in the Rivers family and bore the surname Rivers, she had only been the second daughter for a few years.

She returned to the Rivers residence at thirteen and went to California at twenty. It was only a short seven years in between.

The people at the secretary’s office were envious of her status as a socialite. In fact, she, the so-called second Rivers daughter, was not as glamorous as they had imagined. There was nothing worthy of their envy.

The sound of running water could be heard from another cubicle. The cubicle door opened and Francesca walked out. Serenity’s gaze met her in the mirror and both of them were stunned.

Francesca walked to the sink and turned on the tap beside her. “Sometimes, women talk too much. Don’t take what they say to heart.”

She smiled and shook the water off her hands. “Thank you.”

Since she could come to work today, she had already expected to hear some bad comments, so she was mentally prepared.

When she heard the discussion between the two colleagues just now, other than being disgusted by other people’s discussions, she did not care about the content of their discussion at all.

Serenity grabbed a tissue and wiped the water off her hands. Then, she took the lead and left the washroom.

Francesca watched her leave and suddenly understood why President Jones treated her differently.

This woman had a stubborn and arrogant nature down to her core, making people unable to help but peek into her heart to see if she was as strong as she appeared to be..
