Chapter 89: A Gift For You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the most inconspicuous spot in the close-up, Serenity noticed Linda squeezed out of the crowd, holding her handbag alone.

She had dressed up meticulously, wearing a strapless dress that revealed her slender and fair legs while her face was fully made-up gorgeously.

Linda could be seen gripping her bag tightly and biting her lower lip as she stared at the handsome man and beautiful woman in the crowd with resentment.

Gabriel went straight back to the company after he got off the plane. And it was no wonder he looked so upset the moment he stepped foot into the building. Serenity thought it was Linda who had angered him by picking him up at the airport, so she was wracking her brain for ways to explain herself if he asked about this.

In the President’s office.

Gabriel flung the newspaper onto the office table and frowned. “Didn’t you say that everything was settled? Tell me, what’s going on?”

Caleb stood on the other side of the desk and glanced meekly at the huge headline. De lowered his head slightly and apologetically said, “President Jones, I apologize for my oversight.”

Gabriel leaned against the back of the chair and held his forehead with one hand. He was silent for a moment. “I don’t want to see this South Cador Entertainment Weekly again.”

Caleb sighed and nodded. “I’ll handle it.”

Gabriel had been on a business trip for more than a week and there were many documents that needed his attention. Frank knew Gabriel’s temper very well and did not want to be in the line of fire.

So she decided to pass the document to Serenity. “These documents need President Jones’s signature. It’s urgent.”

Serenity was not a fool and could easily tell that the secretariat office was walking on eggshells today. They were a hundred times more serious than usual.

She hesitated for a long time, wondering if Gabriel would vent his anger on her if she knocked on the door rashly.

She did not want to be the innocent victim either.

But since Frank had been urging her repeatedly, Serenity simply had to brace herself before knocking on President Jones’s door. With his permission, she pushed the office door open and walked in uneasily. Once she was at his desk, she carefully placed the documents in her hands on the surface.

“President Jones, these documents need your signature.”

Gabriel did not look up, but it was not difficult to tell that although his expression was not as gloomy as when he first entered the company, it was still not very good. His tie had been pulled loosely by him, making him look lazy and casual.

He took the documents and flipped through them. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he took a pen and signed his name on the necessary pages. After signing them, he handed the documents back to her.

She took them without saying a word and stole a quick glance at him. Since he was busy with other things, she turned around to leave.

“Wait a minute.”

She turned back toward him and looked at him blankly. He put down the pen in his hand and pulled open the drawer on his left. He took out a small black velvet gift box from inside. “A gift for you.”

She was slightly stunned. Then, she reached out and took it. When she opened the box, she saw an exquisite brooch.

The brooch wasn’t a popular design at the moment. It looked a little retro and didn’t seem like it was worth much. But she also knew it was quite a rare item on the market.

Although she had never been to the United States, she could tell at a glance that these were artifacts from Chinatown. They could not be bought on the market at any high price.

This was because Robin had bought her many small accessories in Chinatown in the United States before, such as hair clips, bracelets, and so on.

Her eyes were filled with joy as she walked around the desk and leaned forward to kiss his cheek. Then, she whispered in his ear, “Thank you, I like it very much.”

Although this brooch wasn’t worth much, it was a gift to her regardless. And because of that, it was more deeply ingrained in her heart than the things he had given her before that were worth tens of thousands..
