But Serenity wondered if this woman had really fallen for Gabriel or if it was Johnson’s idea.
“I’m just his assistant. If you’re asking about work, I will most likely have the answers to your questions. But if it’s about President Jones’s private life, I’m afraid I am not able to help.” Serenity decided to respond politely and professionally.
Johnson’s assistant smiled awkwardly. “I was just asking.”
The two of them went back to the meeting room as the discussion on the acquisition continued between Gabriel and the others. After they finalized the proposal and printed out the contract, Gabriel signed it off.
The acquisition went smoothly this time. It was almost effortless.
When it was lunchtime, Johnson had arranged everything as well. The dining place was very luxurious, like a crystal palace.
Gabriel was now the largest shareholder of Tensel Corporation, so Johnson naturally had to suck up to him. In the name of being the host, he invited Gabriel to a bar after giving him a warm welcome.
But since everyone was an adult, they knew what came next after lunch.
Gabriel had just become the boss of Tensel Corporation, so he could not put on airs. He followed Johnson’s arrangements and went to the bar with them.
Serenity was no stranger to bars either. When she first went to California, she often got drunk in places like these. It was also from then on that her alcohol tolerance became better.
Once, she got drunk in a bar and was almost taken advantage of. It was Robin who saved her and that was when she met him.
The bar today was unusual. It was holding an auction of beauties, so it was full of people. Excited voices screamed in their ears.
Johnson must have informed the owner of the place in advance, as they were led to the VIP area as soon as they arrived.
This was a foreign country so most of the people in the bar were foreigners. The appearance of a few people from Serenity’s country was already very eye-catching. Moreover, Gabriel was very good-looking so people would look in their direction from time to time.
There were even bold women who blew kisses or winked at him, but he turned a blind eye to them.
Johnson ordered drinks for the table. Gabriel had just taken a sip of Lafite when he heard the emcee on stage say into the microphone, “May we welcome the first beauty of the day.”
Two staff members pushed a square box and opened the lid. A blonde woman in a bikini stood up and walked out with long legs. She blew kisses at the audience below the stage.
Her seductive movements prompted the audience to shout or whistle. Their passionate voices almost overturn the entire bar.
Serenity was sitting beside Gabriel and she glanced at him. Other people looked at that woman with lust and desire to possess her, but Gabriel simply looked at her like he was looking at a squatting statue.
The bidding began and the price was raised to four million. Seeing that no one else raised the price further, the emcee made the final decision. “Sold!
After that, beauty number one was taken away by the person who had made the highest bid.
“Beauty number two, 500 thousand…”
“Beauty number three, seven million…”
Gabriel swirled his wine glass lazily. The expensive Lafite in the glass reflected a brilliant light as he looked at everything on stage indifferently, showing no interest in the decadent and crazy scene.
Johnson had been paying attention to Gabriel’s expression. When he noticed how disinterested Gabriel was looking, Johnson knew these beauties were not his cup of tea.
Serenity shouldn’t have followed him to such an occasion. She was bored and scrolled through Facebook a few times.. Seeing that Gabriel was not interested either, she leaned closer to him and asked, “None of them caught your eye?”
