Seeing that she was standing there without moving, Gabriel said, “Get in the car. I’m in a hurry.”
This was the first time he had spoken to her in the past few days. His unique voice was clear and slow, and it passed through her eardrums with tension.
He was still wearing the classic three-piece suit, but today a black shirt was part of the combo. He had wide shoulders and a narrow waist, so he looked good no matter what color he wore.
He looked elegant in white shirts, but the black shirt exuded a cold aura. It was as if anyone who approached him would fall into the abyss and be doomed forever.
Caleb returned to the driver’s seat. Seeing that she had not gotten into the car yet, he said, “Serenity, please be quick. We’re in a hurry.”
Serenity finally got into the car. As the car door closed, the air instantly felt suffocating.
It wasn’t that Serenity didn’t feel the cold and indifferent aura coming from the man beside her. She just couldn’t figure out how she had made him unhappy.
He was fine on his first day in Jonan City, but he changed after she went to the construction site to deliver lunch to him.
He was always expressionless when he faced her. In the next few days, he became even more indifferent and now asked her to return to Andalas ahead of them.
She thought about what had happened over the past few days and could only conclude that he was in a bad mood because of her.
People who were in a bad mood and didn’t play by the rules were usually unreasonable, so she decided not to argue with him. As her mind wandered, the car finally stopped outside the airport.
“We’re here.” Caleb stopped the car by the roadside and helped Serenity with her luggage.
When Serenity was about to step out of the car, she turned around to look at Gabriel. His eyes were closed so she did not know if he had fallen asleep. His left hand was no longer wrapped in a bandage and the wound had already formed a scab, staining his otherwise good-looking and smooth hands.
It was as if the scab had smudged an important beautiful piece of art.
Her lips quivered slightly before she finally retracted her gaze and got out of the car.
As the car door closed, the man slowly opened his eyes. The car still had the fragrance of her body lingering in the stifling air.
More than ten minutes later, Caleb returned to the car. Gabriel gently rubbed the scab on the back of his left hand. “You walked her to the plane?”
Caleb glanced at his watch. “It’s not time yet. She’s still in the waiting room. There’s still half an hour before boarding. William called. Should we go over now?”
“Wait a little longer,” said Gabriel calmly.
Caleb was surprised. Then, he understood.
Last night, he received a call from Gabriel asking him to book a flight back to Andalas today. Caleb wondered if they were returning to Andalas prematurely before they were able to ensure the project in Jonan City was officially on track. Who knew Gabriel would say, “It’s only for Serenity.”
Caleb had already sensed the strangeness in the relationship between President Jones and Serenity in the past few days. He tried probing Serenity about it, but even she didn’t know. So the problem was probably with President Jones.
If President Jones was so willing to save Serenity at the construction site the other day, why did he suddenly flip 180 and change his attitude toward her now?
At 10:40 a.m., the plane to Andalas finally took off on time. It left a white trail in the sky and disappeared into the distance.
Caleb glanced at Gabriel again from the rearview mirror silently. After a moment, Gabriel said, “Let’s go..”
