Although he was going to the neighboring city for a business trip, due to the complexity of the project, the estimated time he had to spend there was a week. The plan could not keep up with the changes, and he only returned after about ten days.

Francesca came to pick him up. Gabriel closed his eyes and rested. “Your phone has been very quiet recently.”

Caleb, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was stunned for a moment before he understood what his boss meant. “Young Madam must have known that you’ll be very busy on a business trip.”

Gabriel did not say anything. His cold face looked a little tired and his fine black coat looked travel-worn.

“President Jones, are you going to the office or home?” asked Francesca as the car left the airport.

The man behind her was silent for a moment. Then, he said…

As she went to the orphanage with Wendy Jones last night, Serenity returned a little late and ended up waking a little later in the morning.

After washing up, she went downstairs and Mrs. Winstead served her breakfast. Seeing that she was wearing home clothes, she asked, “Young Madam, are you not going out today?”

“No, I’m not.” She sat at the dining table and took the newspaper from the rack. She flipped through it while eating breakfast.

Since it was all unimportant news, she glanced through it casually before putting it back. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a magazine from a long time ago.

On the cover of the magazine was a cold man dressed in a fine black suit, looking very handsome. His eyes were filled with the decisive ruthlessness of a businessman.

He had been on a business trip for half a month and she still did not know when he would return.

She was baffled by his anger so she was determined to ask him about it when he came back.

“Did he call home these past few days?” asked she to Mrs. Winstead after drinking some milk.

“No.” Mrs. Winstead stopped what she was doing, avoiding Serenity’s eyes.

Serenity felt a little disappointed as she bit on the edge of the glass and finished the milk. The rest of the breakfast was left untouched. “I’m done.”

“Young Madam, breakfast is very important. Even if you don’t want to eat it, you have to think about the baby in your stomach,” said Mrs. Winstead as she looked at the untouched breakfast.

Serenity ignored Mrs. Winstead and walked to the sofa. After thinking about it, she decided to call Caleb and ask when they would be back. After the call was connected, she asked, “Caleb, are you back?”

Caleb was once more put in a difficult position. He did not dare say that President Jones was back. They had already been back for a week.

Serenity could hear his hesitation and also the voice of a colleague from the secretary’s office. She knew. “Caleb, please inform me when he is coming back so that I can pick him up.”

The word ‘OK’ was stuck in Caleb’s throat for a long time before he spat it out. After the call ended, Caleb’s heart felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping on it. He was sandwiched between the boss and the lady boss. It was not easy being an assistant.

Serenity went back to her room to change her clothes. When she came down from the second floor, Mrs. Winstead saw that she was about to go out. She said, “Young Madam, arc you going out?” I’ll get Lenny to prepare the car.”

She took out a pair of flat boots from the shoe cabinet at the entrance and put them on. “I’ll drive myself.”

Mrs. Winstead was put in a difficult position. “Young Madam, you should let Lenny go with you. What will I say to Young Master if anything happens?” “I can do it by myself,” said she coldly.

Serenity was usually friendly to the servants and smiled when she spoke. Now that her expression had darkened, Mrs. Winstead could not say anything else, only reminding her to drive carefully..
