She threw the remote control onto the coffee table and stepped out onto the balcony. The view was wide and bright. She could see the lake in the northwest at a glance. What a scene!

There was a glass awning above her head, just translucent enough to shade her from the sunlight. She lay down on the rattan chair and closed her eyes to enjoy the silence.

Then, there was a beep from the door – someone had swiped their access card to enter the room. She opened her eyes abruptly and turned around to look. The person was Gabriel, dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

Gabriel glanced around the room and saw that the television had been switched on and Serenity was nowhere to be seen. He frowned slightly but then caught a glimpse of the figure on the balcony from the corner of his eye. His furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

He threw the access card in his hand on the coffee table and slowly walked to the balcony.

Serenity was slightly surprised to see him. She then pointed at her feet and said, “President Jones, I’m not slacking off on purpose. My leg is injured and it’s inconvenient for me to move.”

Gabriel looked down at her ankle, which was rather red and swollen. He frowned as he said in a low and cold voice, “How did that happen?”

But Serenity simply said, “I’m sorry.”

Could it be that she was the one who harmed herself so that she could take a break?

Gabriel frowned and did not say anything.

Just then, someone knocked on the door and Serenity’s heart skipped a beat. Did Selena or John return?

***

Gabriel did not close the door when he came in so it had been left ajar. Frank peeked into the room through the gap and could only see the tall figure of the man on the balcony. Gabriel just so happened to be blocking his view of Serenity so he thought there was no one else in the room.

Gabriel turned around and walked towards the door. He closed the door fully after taking the items from Frank and returning to the balcony.

When Serenity saw him holding a pack of ice cubes, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She immediately understood what was happening and said with a smile, “President Jones, are you going to give me an ice compress?”

Gabriel looked at her with an eyebrow raised and said with a fake smile, “I have a better idea.”

He handed her the ice cube and she pursed her lips. Serenity sat up from the recliner and took the ice cube to place it on her ankle.

She was wearing a business suit and the gap between the top two buttons of her shirt had spread open slightly. Gabriel was standing right in front of her and he caught sight of the gap in her shirt. He crossed his arms and leaned against the handrail. “You’re still up for it even though you’re injured?”

Serenity looked up at him in confusion. When she saw that his gaze had landed on her chest, she looked down as well. A button on her chest had been unbuttoned at some point…

She immediately felt extremely awkward and placed the ice cube on the round glass table beside her to button up her shirt. When she looked up, she saw Gabriel’s lips curled into a sly smile and her face turned hot.

Then, a light flashed in her eyes and she said with a smile, “Did I just seduce President Jones?”

Although Gabriel was not an innocent man, he had his principles.

“I’ve never touched a woman who’s not mine.”

He raised his chin at the ice cubes on the glass table, indicating for her to continue applying it to her ankle.

Serenity picked up the pack and stuck it on her ankle. She heard a click and looked up to see Gabriel lighting a cigarette. She asked, “The ceremony isn’t over yet. Aren’t you going back down?”

Gabriel lifted his chin slightly and exhaled the smoke from his mouth. “I’ll go down after smoking this cigarette.”

She didn’t say anything else and focused on the ice pack on her foot. Soon, the red and swollen areas had subsided quite a bit.

After Gabriel finished smoking, he returned to the room to take the medicine that Selena had left behind. He then returned to the balcony and handed the medicine to Serenity..
