Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“My parents really like her and are urging us to get married.”

John didn’t say anything as Calvin Gilbert babbled on and on about how he showed off outside Zephyr Group today. After he was done, he spoke as if he was asking for credit. “I’m doing this for you. This way, everyone will know that Serenity has a boyfriend and won’t chase her.”

“Cal.” There was a heavy seriousness to John’s tone.

Calvin Gilbert listened attentively, waiting for him to continue.

John paused for a moment and slowly said, “Don’t fall in love with her.”

Calvin thought that he was going to say something grave, so he disapprovingly said, “Don’t worry. We’re friends. I know she’s the treasure in your heart. 1 won’t have any improper thoughts about her. But then again, she is too cold now. She was more in the past.”

After ending the call with Calvin Gilbert, John’s gaze fell on the photo frame on the desk. The girl in the photo frame had bangs, a delicate face, bright and lively eyes, a petite nose, and a childish look on her face. The most dazzling thing was her smile which was brighter than a flower.

The girl in the photo frame was a photo of Serenity when she was sixteen years old. At that time, she was as pure as a piece of white paper. She was also the person that he would do his best to protect in this lifetime.

He took the photo frame and gently caressed her face. His thin lips softly murmured her name. “Serene…”

As expected, the next day, when Serenity entered the office, her colleagues surrounded her and asked, “Serene, was that your boyfriend yesterday?”

She nodded. With their current relationship, although it was just a fake one, they were still considered a couple in name. Moreover, they had already met his parents.

“That man looks like President Gilbert’s only son and heir of the Gilbert Group.”

“Serene, you’re so lucky. Mr. Calvin is not only handsome but also such a romantic.”

When Gabriel passed by the secretary’s office, all these words drifted into his ears. The woman who was surrounded by a few people had a faint smile on her lips.

No matter what those women were chattering about, she maintained her smile. In the eyes of others, it was a happy smile.

Caleb noticed his boss’s expression did not look right so he coughed heavily. The people surrounding Serenity scattered like a swarm of bees and returned to their seats.

Serenity’s gaze met Gabriel’s deep and indifferent eyes.

When he came back from Jonan City yesterday and passed by the office, she heard someone say ‘President Jones’. But by the time she looked up, he was already in his office.

Caleb opened the office door for Gabriel and waited for his boss to enter.

She did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Gabriel’s gaze was especially cold as if it had been tempered with a layer of ice.

She licked her lips resentfully, turned on her computer, and started working.

Gabriel retracted his gaze and strode towards the office.

The floor was very quiet at work, so everyone turned their phones to vibrate mode so as not to disturb others.

At two in the afternoon, Serenity finished her work and went to the washroom.

When she came back, she saw that her phone on the desk was vibrating. It was Calvin Gilbert.

She picked up her phone and found a quiet place to answer the call.

Gabriel walked out of the meeting room and saw a woman standing at the end of the corridor. She was making a call with her phone in one hand and writing on the glass with the other.

The warm autumn sun shone through the glass, illuminating her slender and fair fingers..
