Chapter 83 - 83: Can Be Satisfied at Any Time
The office was very quiet. It was so quiet that one could hear the scraping of the pen tip against the paper as Gabriel signed.
“President Jones, this is the document Mr. Frank wants me to pass to you.”
Upon hearing her voice, Gabriel lifted his head slowly. Perhaps it was because he was wearing glasses, but the coldness in his deep eyes was blocked so he did not look as intimidating.
He looked at her face and could tell that she didn’t sleep well last night as her dark circles were very obvious. Even with light makeup, he could still see her slightly swollen eye bags.
He lowered his head and flipped through the documents again. “You didn’t sleep well last night?”
She looked at him and the corners of her mouth suddenly curved into a bright smile. “Of course, because I dreamed of someone last night which interrupted my sleep.”
Gabriel’s hand paused midway through his signature as he narrowed his eyes at her. With a cheeky smile, he asked, “So? Are you trying to tell me that you need it now?”
Before she could say anything, he closed the document in his hand and said, “Now that I think about it, a few days have passed since we last did it. I have a lounge in here. If you need it, I can satisfy you at any time.”
Serenity was flabbergasted at his words, afraid that he would do something stupid while they were at work, so she threw the documents in her hand onto his table and hurriedly said, “President Jones, I forgot that Mr. Frank needs me for something else.”
With that, their conversation was cut off by the closing of Gabriel’s office door.
In the afternoon, Linda Sawyer came to look for Gabriel but was stopped by Frank. At the same time, Serenity had just walked out of the pantry with a cup of water and saw the two of them arguing.
Frank had been Gabriel’s secretary for many years and was very tactful in handling his boss’s matters. He knew President Jones did not like women who came to him for no reason, especially women who wanted to climb into his bed.
“Miss Sawyer, President Jones is in a meeting. It’s working hours now, so please wait in the waiting lounge.”
“I have an appointment.” Linda’s voice was slightly loud, attracting the attention of others.
Today, she was wearing a skirt that wrapped around her hips and a pair of ten-centimeter high heels. Her legs were slender and fair, while her hair was styled according to the latest fashion trend.
Frank was wearing a black business suit and black-rimmed glasses. Next to Linda, Frank looked a little old-school.
“Even if you have an appointment, you have to wait in the waiting lounge,” said Frank patiently.
Linda was planning to wait in Gabriel’s office, but Frank’s stiff expression told her that there was no room for negotiation, so she did not insist.
She did not understand Gabriel’s temper very well, so it was better not to provoke him rashly.
The moment Linda turned around and saw Serenity, she was very surprised. “Serenity, why are you here?”
From the corner of her eye, she saw the nameplate on the desk next to her and knew that Serenity was now working at Zephyr. Her eyes could not hide her admiration.
Serenity smiled and said, “I changed my job and am now working at Zephyr.”
Frank saw that the two of them knew each other, so he had Serenity bring Linda to the waiting lounge. The moment it was just the two of them, Linda started asking questions, mainly about Gabriel.
Serenity poured Linda a glass of water and answered the latter’s questions. “I just arrived yesterday, so I’m not sure.”
Linda was bored and asked her how she entered Zephyr, but she gave a vague answer.
Not long after Serenity returned to her desk, Gabriel returned from his meeting. Frank was not around, so he must have gone to do something else.
Serenity followed him into the office and reported that Linda was waiting to see him.
Gabriel took off his suit jacket and she went forward to take it. She hung it in the cloakroom while he unbuttoned his cufflinks. “Miss Sawyer?”
His voice rose slightly in confusion.
“Her father is Jack Sawyer from Sawyer Group..”
