Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Benjamin Rivers had wanted John to be the guarantor but when he called his son-in-law, Alfred answered instead, saying that John was on a business trip for at least half a month. The following calls to John immediately went to voicemail.

If the bank refused to lend them money, then Serenity would have to marry someone through a business marriage. That was why she came to look for Yanis Linde but did not expect to be rejected twice.

The lobby manager came out of the private room and saw that Serenity was still there. He remembered what President Linde had told him earlier and walked up to her. “Miss, please leave. President Linde doesn’t have time to see you.”

But Serenity was not going to go down easily. In all seriousness, she said, “If he’s not free, I shall wait until he is.”

The lobby manager still had a smile on as he said, “Miss, this is a restaurant. If you’re waiting for someone, please wait elsewhere.”

“This is the hotel lounge. Besides, I am not obstructing your business. The person I’m waiting for is your distinguished guest.”

The lobby manager was speechless by her eloquence. His expression changed slightly but he still forced a stiff smile. “As you can see from just now, President Linde is having a meal with a client. If you need him for something, you can ask him out another day.”

Serenity would if she could, but he didn’t want to see her, so this was her best chance of speaking to him. “Will you leave me alone if I dine here?”

The lobby manager did not know what she meant and thought that she was ready to retreat. So, he nodded and said, “Yes.”

Serenity picked up her bag and stood up. “Alright then. Get me a private room. I want the room next to President Linde’s.”

The lobby manager no longer looked pleasant. “Miss, if you don’t leave now, 1’11 have to call security to chase you away.”

He didn’t know who this woman was, but he definitely couldn’t offend President Linde who was a regular here. The lobby manager had to do what he told him to do.

Serenity’s face stiffened. Tm here to eat. What right do you have to chase me away?”

The two parties were about to start arguing when a male voice came from behind them, “Miss Serenity?”

Serenity looked past the lobby manager and saw Joseph Lopez dressed in a white shirt. His left hand was holding his coat while his other hand was intimately hugging a beautiful woman.

She remembered the woman to be Joseph Lopez’s wife, Wanita Sanchez.

Such a charismatically charming couple would attract attention no matter where they went, especially with the Lopezs’ elegant and noble aura.

Seeing that she and Joseph Lopez seemed to know each other, the lobby manager asked, “Mr. Lopez, do you know her?”

“A friend.” Joseph Lopez walked forward with his wife in his arms.

Joseph Lopez and his wife had just finished their meal and were leaving when they saw the scene. When he asked about what happened, Serenity briefly explained the reason she was looking for President Linde. Joseph raised his eyebrows when he heard her. “Why do you have to go through so much trouble? Just go to Gabriel. With him stepping in, President Linde will suck up to you, no questions asked.”

He had misunderstood her relationship with Gabriel Jones so Serenity felt the need to explain to Joseph. “Mr. Lopez, I think you’ve misunderstood. President Jones is my boss and I am simply his employee.”

A dark glint flashed across Joseph Lopez’s eyes. “That’s not necessarily true. How would you know if you don’t try?”

But Serenity already knew the outcome without even trying. Gabriel would simply say, “Why should I help Benjamin Rivers?”

It was all about profit in the business world. The Rivers family was already in a precarious situation, and there was no profit to be made. Even if there was, Gabriel Jones would not care about a meager amount, so he would not bother getting involved in this mess..
