The night outside the window was lonely. The drawn curtains were printed with two intertwined figures, and the silent night was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
The air in the room kept rising. Men’s shirts, trousers, women’s dresses, and underwear were scattered on the clean floor.
Gabriel was full of energy. At first, Serenity clenched her teeth tightly, but later on, she started to beg for mercy. She did not know how many times they had done it before she completely passed out.
The next day, Serenity stood up in front of the washroom. Through the mirror, she saw that her neck and collarbone were covered in marks. She cursed Gabriel in her heart.

When she went downstairs, Gabriel was already having breakfast in the living room. Seeing her come down, Mrs. Winstead called out to her, “Ms. Serenity.” Then, she took out her breakfast and placed it on the dining table.
Gabriel put down the milk and raised his head to meet her gaze. She glared at him resentfully, and he frowned slightly. When he saw the hair that she had let down, he came to a realization.”You took three days off?”
She had taken three days off because of the engagement, but the engagement was canceled by the man opposite her yesterday, so the three days of leave were for nothing.
Gabriel closed the newspaper in his hands and placed it on the dining table. “Call Francesca to cancel your leave.”
She put the toast back on the plate and reached out to take the newspaper. The headline on it was striking: Due to the turmoil and crisis of Gilbert Group, the engagement ceremony with the daughter of the Rivers family was canceled midway.
There were also photos of Calvin Gilbert leaving the hotel yesterday, as well as John Grant. The two of them were surrounded by reporters. Calvin’s face was anxious and irritable, and John’s handsome face was dark.
She closed the newspaper and put it aside. “I want to rest for a few days.”
“You can’t even face such rumors?” Gabriel said with a half-smile.
His merciless sarcasm made her stop breathing. She tightened her grip on the glass of milk and almost subconsciously wanted to pour the milk on him.
If it wasn’t for him, would she have to face this awkward situation?

His warm tone carried an unexpected surprise. “Although Calvin Gilbert, who almost became your fiance, is a little simple-minded, your brother-in-law is an outstanding person. I admire him.” She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but he deliberately emphasized the word ‘brother-in-law’.
Although his words were vague, Serenity understood what he meant. With John’s help, Gilbert Group could smoothly tide over the crisis.
Gabriel lifted his sleeves slightly and looked at an expensive watch. “It’s about time. Let’s go.”
She took a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth slowly. Her gentle voice carried a hint of a smile. “President Jones, I’m on leave today.”
Gabriel bent down and leaned closer with both hands on the table. A masculine aura assaulted her senses, and his deep eyes were like ice under the moon. “You seem to have forgotten my identity.”
His words were to remind her that her leave was not up to Francesca. He was the boss of Zephyr Group after all.
Serenity’s chest heaved up and down violently. She stood up with a thud. The chair and the floor made a sharp sound, like a knife cutting through their warm relationship..
