As she spoke, she looked at Joseph Lopez, who was playing cards. Her clear eyes were filled with tenderness and warmth while her eyes were filled with love for her husband.
Serenity’s gaze followed her line of sight but it swept past Joseph Lopez and landed on Gabriel instead.
He was sitting facing her and he had taken off his suit jacket as soon as he entered the room. Now, he wore a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up. The light shining on his cold face accentuated his features to make him look even more handsome and elegant.
She did not know how to face him after the surgery the day after tomorrow. Should she resign?
Serenity must have been so focused on her thoughts that Gabriel sensed something and looked up at her. When their eyes met, she immediately recollected her thoughts. Serenity quickly picked up the fruit juice on the table and took a small sip to hide her embarrassment.
Box Novel.comGabriel returned his focus to the card game. The man sitting opposite him took out a lighter and was about to light a cigarette but Gabriel indifferently said, “I don’t want to smell smoke today.”
Joseph was stunned for a moment but put away the lighter resentfully. Then, he playfully placed the cigarette in his mouth on his ear.
Joseph’s eyebrows were raised when he asked, “So you’ve decided to quit smoking too?”
The sentence was verbalized nonchalantly but the rest of the room caught onto the word ‘too’ and couldn’t help themselves from wondering what Gabriel had given up before smoking.
As the person involved, Gabriel knew that Joseph was referring to his history with women. Regardless, Gabriel continued playing his card in silence indifferently.
Since the private room was very big and Wanita Sanchez and Serenity were sitting a little far away, they didn’t hear what the men said just now.
Wanita had noticed the subtle interactions between Serenity and Gabriel. With a smile, she asked, “Do you like President Jones?”
Serenity choked on a mouthful of fruit juice and Wanita Sanchez handed her a tissue. The former took it and covered her lips as she coughed a few more times. “How could that be?”
Wanita smiled silently as she stared at Serenity who started to feel a little guilty. The latter responded with a dry smile which only made Wanita more certain of his own thoughts.
“Isn’t it normal to like him?”
Serenity casually said, “There are plenty of women who like an outstanding man like President Jones.”
Wanita was a smart person so she knew Serenity was not being truthful with herself. Not willing to pursue it any further, Wanita changed the topic.
The two started talking about recent popular variety shows. Then, they realized that they had a celebrity they liked in common. It was a new actor who was handsome and had excellent acting skills. As they talked, it seemed that the two of them had endless things to say.
Gabriel took a glance at the sofa where the two women were seated while he was stacking his cards. He did not know what the two of them were talking about, but they were chatting happily. Serenity’s fair little face was filled with a bright smile and her clear eyes were sparkling. She was in high spirits.
For some reason, his gaze shifted to her abdomen. Suddenly, he felt a surge of frustration. He picked up the cigarette box beside Joseph Lopez’s hand, pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it up.
The man who wanted to smoke earlier was about to say something but hesitated. Gabriel had just said that he did not want to smell the smoke today, but now he was the one smoking. Even if he was dissatisfied, Joseph did not dare to show it because of Gabriel’s identity. In the end, Joseph could only swallow his anger.
Gabriel took a puff of his cigarette and suddenly recalled a memory. He immediately put out the cigarette in his hand.
Wanita still had two children at home. So when it was 10:30 p.m., she left with Joseph Lopez. Serenity and Gabriel did not stay for long after before they left the clubhouse.
Gabriel sent Serenity home and drove away without saying a word..
