At the back of the hotel was a round flower garden. A long table was placed on the grass, and the table was covered with a white cloth. On top of it, there was a variety of delicious food.
When Serenity found Sam, he was holding a plate of cake while his gaze was on Zander Hall, who was talking with another person by the water fountain.
She patted his shoulder from behind. Perhaps he was frightened, so his reaction was very big and the cake in his hands almost dropped to the ground.
Sam saw her and heaved a sigh of relief before asking, “How did you get in?”
“I walked in with my own two legs.” She took the cake that was yet to be touched from his hands and took a bite. It was her favorite blueberry flavor.
Sam did not like to eat food that was sweet anyways and only took the cake as a cover. “No, I meant…”
She knew what he was going to ask and quickly cut off his words. “Have you talked to Mayor Hall?”
Sam scratched his head. “I haven’t had the right timing.”
She glanced at Zander Hall who was near the water fountain. “This cake is not bad. Keep an eye on him while I look for more food.”
Zander was having a conversation with two or three people. Thus, it was not a great time to ask for an interview. If Zander called for the security guards, they would really be kicked out of the hotel.
Unintentionally, she noticed that at the side of the venue, there was an attic balcony. As the lights were too dim, it was difficult for others to notice.
She had just turned around the corner when she heard a man’s and a woman’s voice from the balcony.
“President Jones.” The woman’s voice had a soft tenderness that was on purpose. “I’m really sorry for dirtying your clothes the previous time.”
Serenity pried the curtains to the side and had a clear look at the two people with help from the lights in the venue. Gabriel was holding a glass of champagne, and opposite him was Linda, who had a shy look.
If it was not for Linda’s reminder, she never would have remembered that Gabriel’s clothes were still with her.
Initially, she wanted to find an opportunity to return them to him, but she was too busy with the matter of interviewing Mayor Hall and forgot about it.
Gabriel stood with his side facing her, and she could see only his cold and handsome side view as well as hear his indifferent voice.
“It’s just a piece of clothing, you don’t have to take it too seriously.”
“I have already bought a new one for you. If President Jones does not mind, I can give it to you tomorrow and treat you to a meal as well.”
Linda’s voice was soft. As she stared at that handsome man, her heartbeat suddenly quickened. She feared that she would reject him and stared at him with anxiousness.
Gabriel furrowed his brows with a slight frustration but still patiently said with an indifferent voice, “I’ve already forgotten about this matter. You should just forget it too.”
“But…” When she saw his lack of reply, Linda became a little panicky. She had finally found a chance to get closer to him.
“President Jones? Ms. Sawyer?” Serenity appeared at the right timing and pretended to look at them with a surprised look before asking in a curious tone, “Why are both of you here?”
Her appearance interrupted the words that Linda wanted to say, and Linda turned to look at her. Her eyes had a hint of complaint, but as Gabriel was still here, she could only suppress her grievance and smiled as she greeted Serenity. “Ms. Serenity.”
Serenity looked at both of them and seemed to understand something before she widened her eyes in sudden realization. “Did I just interrupt something?”
Gabriel looked at Serenity. That woman was clearly apologizing, but there was cheekiness in her eyes and her face was as innocent as a child who’d done something wrong.
Serenity’s words and her expression made it seem as though they were doing something shameful..
