Chapter 268: He Already Knows

In the president’s office.
Gabriel stood in front of the window and looked at the work area of the secretary’s office. His gaze was fixed on Serenity.
Today was Wednesday, the day she had made an appointment for the abortion.
He had given her many chances these past few days to tell him that she was pregnant, but she didn’t say anything.
Caleb knocked on the office door before entering. Seeing that Gabriel had been standing by the window looking at the secretary’s office all morning, Caleb knew what was going on in his boss’s head.
He walked to the desk and picked up the documents needed by the marketing department. He flipped through them and noticed that the approval section was still blank.
Half an hour ago, when Caleb sent the documents over, he told President Jones that he needed them urgently. But it seemed that President Jones had not read them yet.
“President Jones, you haven’t signed these documents yet.”
Gabriel returned to his desk but did not even look at the contents of the document as he took a fountain pen and signed his name. After Caleb left, he leaned against the back of his office chair and touched his chin with one hand, deep in thought.
Serenity was not in the right state of mind at work today. When she arrived at the office in the morning, she stared at the date circled on the calendar in a daze. She spent the rest of the day in the same state, even after she got off work and went straight to the hospital.
Gabriel had a business banquet to attend that night but Caleb noticed that he had been absent-minded the entire day. Afraid that Gabriel would forget, Caleb wanted to remind him. But just as he reached the door of the president’s office, Gabriel barged out with his jacket and walked quickly towards the elevator.
It turned out that President Jones still remembered. Caleb hurriedly followed after him. But he could also tell that Gabriel was still not in his right mind judging from his walk. “President Jones, the banquet is at eight o’clock in the evening. It’s still early, so there’s no need to rush.”
Serenity was planning to take the staff elevator. But when it arrived, everyone else rushed in so she decided to take the next one.
She finally walked out of the company and hailed a taxi by the roadside. After getting in the taxi, she leaned her head against the car window and looked at the green trees that flashed past the window in a daze.
From the rearview mirror, the driver saw a black Maybach following behind her. He wanted to say something to his passenger, but he thought that a person who could afford a Maybach would not be interested in a single woman. Perhaps it was a quarrel between a couple.
They were taxi drivers, so this kind of thing happened often. Moreover, Serenity was currently unhappy and looked down. The more the driver looked at her, the more she looked like she had just quarreled with her boyfriend, so the driver didn’t bother saying anything.
When she arrived at the hospital, Serenity got out of the car and paid the driver. She took the driver’s change and turned around to walk into the hospital.
The black Maybach stopped by the roadside and Gabriel watched her thin back through the glass window. His cold lips were tightly pressed together and there was no trace of an arc.
Caleb looked out the window and then at the man in the backseat. If President Jones did not care, why would he make this trip? If he did, it would not be right for him to sit in the car without saying a word.
After thinking about it for a while, he carefully started to say, “President Jones…”
Before Serenity reached the gynecology department, Caleb stopped her, “Serenity, President Jones is waiting for you in the car.”
Serenity was extremely shocked by Caleb’s sudden appearance. As soon as he said that, she broke out in a cold sweat and her voice trembled slightly. “President Jones, he…”
Xiao Cheng glanced at the gynecology and obstetrics department in front of him. Serenity’s heart skipped a beat. He knew?
Why did he ask Caleb to intercept her then?
