Feeling less anxious, she said, “I’ll call him later, then.”

She was about to hang up when Caleb suddenly said, “Miss Serenity, President Jones said that you don’t have to come to the company tomorrow.”

She was about to hang up when her hand froze. As if on automatic response mode, she immediately asked, “What do you mean?”

President Jones’s sudden decision came with no clarification, so Caleb did not know the reason behind it. “Perhaps Miss Serenity would know better than me.”

Serenity knew that she was in the wrong so decided not to ask any further. She hung up and stared at the pedestrians outside the cafe in a daze.

How was she going to explain to Benjamin when she got back?

Would Benjamin listen to her explanation?

After thinking about it, she decided to go to the company to see Gabriel. Even if he told her to leave Zephyr Group, she had to find a way to stay.

She first went to the mall to buy some clothes to change into before taking a taxi to the company. However, she did not see Gabriel. Instead, she was told by Frank that Gabriel had a dinner appointment that night and had already left.

“Did President Jones have a meeting at around 230 pm?” asked she.

Frank responded while organizing some documents. “Yes, he left right after the meeting.”

It was almost an hour ago so Caleb wasn’t lying earlier.

She then asked about the location of the dinner. Frank knew about her relationship with Gabriel and also knew Serenity was someone who knew her limits. Hence, Frank decided to be honest with Serenity.

Serenity thanked him and quickly left the company for the hotel in a taxi.

When she arrived outside the hotel, she recalled Frank mentioning that Gabriel was meeting an extremely important client tonight – the president of an international company.

If she were to barge in recklessly, she would only anger Gabriel even more. There would be no room for negotiation, so she could only wait outside.

She waited for more than two hours, and just as she was about to think that Frank had remembered the wrong place, Gabriel and the rest came out.

There were about six to seven people in the group and the person in the lead was of mixed blood. He was extremely tall, even taller than Gabriel by half a head.

They were dressed in suits and leather shoes, so they were very eye-catching.

She hesitated, wondering if she should go up or not. Would she make him even more annoyed if she went up rashly?

The sharp-eyed Caleb noticed her not far away and whispered to Gabriel, saying, “President Jones, Miss Serenity is here.”

Gabriel happened to be walking down the stairs when Caleb whispered into his ear. He followed Caleb’s gaze and saw Serenity standing not far away. She was kicking the stones under her feet with her head lowered. It was hard to tell what exactly she was thinking.

The flashing neon lights behind her made her look even more petite.

The foreign president followed his gaze and said with a smile, “You know her?”

“I don’t.” Gabriel received his gaze indifferently.

The moment Serenity raised her head, she saw Caleb opening the car door for Gabriel. He was about to get into the car and she could no longer care less about the consequences as she hurried over to pull open the car door Caleb was about to close.

She looked straight at the man in the car and said, “President Jones, every company dismisses employees for a reason. Please give me a valid one.”

Although she had been to his villa and seen the bidding proposal, there was no witness or material evidence. How would anyone know that she was the one who did it?

She dared to bet that Gabriel only suspected her because she was working at Zephyr Group and Rivers Group just happened to win the bid. He did not have sufficient evidence.

Gabriel remained calm as he said, “Serenity Rivers, you asked for it. 1 only need to say a word to let you into the company, so it only takes one word to have you out. I don’t need a reason at all..”
