After the pain subsided, Serenity slowly calmed down and looked at the assistant who was crying. “Clean this up, I’ll go make another cup.”
Gabriel had a habit of only drinking freshly brewed coffee. He was also very picky about the taste so all the coffee he drank was bought from overseas.
She did not dare delay another moment and quickly brewed coffee before bringing it to the meeting room.
The assistant had already returned to her post and was taking down the meeting minutes seriously.
When he saw her come in with coffee, he smiled gratefully at her. She smiled slightly in return.
She placed the coffee to the right of Gabriel. When she bent over, her hair slid down to her chest and accidentally brushed past Gabriel’s ears.
He was shocked and turned to look at her reflexively.
She immediately straightened her body and tucked her hair behind her ears with an apologetic expression.
There was an obvious stain on her white clothes so he asked, “What’s wrong?”
The moment the question left his lips, everyone’s eyes fell on her with faces full of curiosity.
In the past two days, the company had been filled with gossip about the two of them. And it was no surprise that these high-level leaders had heard about them.
Gabriel realized he had asked something he shouldn’t have asked. Ignoring their stares, he looked straight at a certain high-ranking official who had stopped talking through his report and asked in a deep voice, “Finished?”
The higher-up immediately came back to his senses and continued to report on his department’s performance.
Serenity realized that she had nothing else to do for the meeting so she quietly left. Since the stain on her clothes was too obvious, she went to the washroom to clean it up.
In the washroom, she untucked her shirt to take a closer look at how badly she been burned. The area where she had been scalded was red. No wonder it hurt so much.
After the meeting was done, Gabriel returned to his office and Caleb handed him the acquisition proposal of Tensel Corporation in the United States. Gabriel took the proposal and read through it.
“It’s not detailed enough. It can be better.”
In other words, it was not to Gabriel’s satisfaction. Caleb took the proposal and said, “Okay, I’ll get President Lamberg to draft a new one.” After saying that, Caleb was about to leave.
“Wait a minute.” Gabriel suddenly called Caleb back. The latter turned around and looked at him in confusion. Gabriel pulled open his drawer and took out an ointment for burns.
Confused, Caleb took it from Gabriel.
“It should be about to expire soon. Give it to someone who needs it.”
Caleb was still trying to figure out who ‘people in need’ Gabriel was referring to when he saw Serenity walk out of the washroom.
She had her head lowered as she walked, still wiping away at her clothes with a piece of tissue. Serenity had managed to wash off the stain, but her clothes were wet.
He finally why President Jones gave him the ointment.
Serenity looked at the ointment in her hand for a long time, unable to believe that Gabriel had given it to her.
How could he have such a good heart?
Or rather, would he be kind enough to care about the lives of others?
What kind of person was Gabriel, really? Why would he be interested in a woman?
She did not think he would take good care of her based on what kind of relationship they had.
“Did President Jones really have you give me this?” asked she uncertainly for the third time. “Could it be that you misheard or misunderstood him?”
Caleb wondered why this woman did not know how lucky she was. President Jones had never cared about any woman. Although he had ‘casually’ given her this ointment, it was still an exception, wasn’t it?
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask President Jones himself.”
But Serenity knew better than to be foolish enough to bother Gabriel over such a small matter. Regardless of whether he was the one who gave it to her or what his intentions were, she needed it anyway.
“Thank you, Caleb.”
“I’m just saying that you should be thankful to President Jones.” Caleb felt that she was a better fit to be in such a relationship with him, unlike the other women who liked to curry favor with him..
