In the car.

...

Gabriel Jones put the magazine in his hand away and crossed his legs. His palm rested on his thigh as coldly and indifferently said, “This is the last time.”

Jocelyn White put her bag by her side as she faced this outstanding man. She wanted to get closer to him but didn’t dare to. So she simply sat obediently and tried her best to speak softly. “I know, thank you.”

She looked through the tinted window at the paparazzi and smiled.

Half a month ago, her career hit rock bottom when the scandal about her and the director hit the news. There were insults everywhere on the internet, threatening to kick her out of the entertainment industry.

Her management company was about to terminate her contract, so she had no choice but to look for Gabriel Jones to save her career, hoping he would help her out based on their past friendship.

Gabriel Jones rarely interfered in such matters, but since they were once best friends, he eventually agreed to come pick her up from shopping today.

Tomorrow, the headlines of the entertainment section would definitely be about her and Gabriel Jones’s ‘rekindled love’ scandal. With his name up instead, she was confident she would be able to make a comeback this time.

She sized up Gabriel as discreetly as she could. He had always appeared indifferent and uninterested, but she knew there was a tabooed name carved in his heart.

Linda Sawyer looked at the back of the car that had left and muttered softly, “That car looks familiar.”

Serenity Rivers did not say anything.

A moment later, Linda suddenly screamed. “I remember now! That’s President Jones’s car!”

Serenity didn’t think there was anything to make a fuss about as she lightly smiled and said, “Yes, it’s Gabriel Jones’s car.”

Linda gripped the bag in her hand tightly as her eyes filled with envy. With anger, she said, “That woman is just about to be kicked out of the entertainment industry, but she managed to hook up with President Jones this time.”

Serenity’s smile was still plastered on her face as she remained silent. Jealous people were always scary, and Linda was looking particularly ferocious right now.

After leaving the international shopping mall, the car turned a corner before Gabriel dropped Jocelyn off at an intersection. The latter watched as Gabriel’s car disappear into the distance. Then, she stomped her feet in anger. How unromantic could this man be?

But Gabriel was simply helping her out of respect, this was the best he could do to help her.

After Serenity and Linda went their separate ways, the former hailed a taxi and called Gabriel Jones’s number. The phone rang for about ten seconds before it was picked up. She heard his usual clear and deep voice come through the earpiece. “Hello?”

“President Jones, you’re going to be in the headlines tomorrow,” said Serenity teasingly.

Gabriel Jones was slightly surprised but did his best to remain indifferent as his deep and sexy voice said, “You saw?”

She was in a good mood today so she spoke lightheartedly. “By seeing, do you mean seeing Miss White get into your car, or see the photos taken by the paparazzi?”

“So, you called to question me?” Gabriel Jones raised his eyebrows.

“Shouldn’t i?” asked she.

But Gabriel did not get angry. Instead, he smiled very softly as his deep voice turned delicate. “Where are you?”

Serenity Rivers wondered if she had heard wrongly. Although she had not known Gabriel Jones for a long time, she had heard that he was cold and indifferent.

She had only seen him smiling politely yet distantly when he was greeting everyone at Master Samson’s birthday party.

She looked out the window and truthfully said, “On my way back.”

“Let’s have lunch together,” said he..
