Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She was about to put Serenity’s phone back on the table when she suddenly rembered sothing. She scrolled to Gabriel’s phone number and sent him a text ssage.
[Have you eaten?]
As she waited for the ssage, she looked in the direction of the washroom. After about two minutes, Gabriel replied.
[I’m eating.]
Although it was just two simple words, it was enough to shock Linda.
If the relationship between the two of them was purely professional, knowing Gabriel, he would have ignored this ssage.
However, he replied to Serenity’s ssage. Although these two words didn’t an anything, the fact that he responded was too unusual.
She wasn’t the only one who was shocked. Caleb, who was in the president’s office, was also shocked.
Caleb had packed a light al for Gabriel from the restaurant. Just as he was about to leave after placing it on Gabriel’s desk and opening it for him, he heard Gabriel’s phone ring due to an incoming ssage.
Gabriel took the phone and glanced at it. Although his expression was as cold and indifferent as usual, Caleb could see a shift in Gabriel’s eyes. Then, his boss’s fingers quickly tapped a few tis, and a chi rang out in the quiet office, indicating that a text ssage had been sent.
Caleb’s jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock. President Jones had always scoffed at those who texted. It was the kind of thing that he did not care about.
All this while, Gabriel had always felt that it was not only brainless to type a long string of words that could be explained in a few words over the phone, but it was also a waste of ti.
Other people knew this about him, so they would call if they needed him, knowing that any text sent would be ignored no matter how urgent it was.
And yet, now, Gabriel had just sent a text response to soone!
Linda stared at the two words on the ssage for a while before sending another ssage.
[See you at Chorley Park at 8 p.m.]
This ti Gabriel didn’t reply. She deleted the text ssage and put her phone back. Then, she started eating as if nothing had happened.
Serenity ca out of the washroom and saw that Linda had not finished eating. She did not deliberately wait for her and said, “I still have work to do so I’ll go back to the company first.”
Without the slightest hint of guilt, Linda calmly said, “Alright.”
Serenity called the waiter over for the bill and paid for Linda’s portion as well. After saying goodbye to Linda, Serenity picked up her bag and left the restaurant.
Linda looked at her departing figure with a complicated gaze.
Gabriel stared at the latest text ssage on his phone and frowned slightly. If there was anything inconvenient at work, she could have said it over the phone. Why did she want to et at a place like the park?
Gabriel did not plan to go at first, but thinking about how she had been so preoccupied lately, he thought that she had sothing on and worked overti for a while after work. He left the company at 7:30 p.m. and drove to Chorley Park.
He arrived at the park at 7:58 p.m. Since the park was not far from C University, there were couples eting everywhere.
He got out of the car, leaned against the car, and lit a cigarette. Looking at the couples who walked past him hand in hand, he thought of himself in the past.
At that ti, he had loved soone at the best age and did the sa thing as these people.
At the entrance of the park, Linda looked at the man leaning against the car not far away. He smoked so elegantly under the dim street lights that elongated his figure.
She had only wanted to test him, but she did not expect him to co and wait patiently.
She clutched the bag in her hand with jealousy.. What right did she, Serenity, have to be liked by him?
