Since he asked, she decided to say, “I’ve been a little tired from work recently. 1 want to take a few days off to rest.”

“Tired from work?” Gabriel looked up head from his documents. His eyes were dark. “Are you as tired as me?”

Serenity was speechless because of him. If he did not want her to take leave, he should just say it directly. There was no need to beat around the bush.

After leaving the president’s office, she sat back at her desk and looked at the numbers circled on the calendar. Her heart felt bitter.

After the check-up that day, the hospital saw that her face was pale and her hand was trembling. They said, “If you don’t want it, you can make an appointment for an abortion.”

She thought for a moment, conflicted and struggling. “Then… Next Wednesday.”

The number she circled on the calendar was next Wednesday.

Although she didn’t have morning sickness, she was afraid her colleagues would find out about it. Therefore, she didn’t go to the company’s cafeteria with her colleagues these few days. Instead, she ate at the restaurant opposite the company.

Today was no different. The dishes that Serenity ordered were served and she was about to start eating when she heard someone calling her name.

“Serene.”

She looked up and saw Linda standing a meter away from her with gorgeous makeup. Serenity smiled and said, “It’s you. What a coincidence.”

Seeing that she was alone, Linda asked, “Can I sit?”

Serenity had no reason to refuse. Moreover, Linda had helped her when she had injured her foot. “Sure.”

Linda called the waiter over and also ordered a light meal. While waiting for her meal, she looked at Serenity, who was dressed in a light suit. Linda was of the opinion that Serenity could not be compared to her glamorous self and became even more confident.

She had heard that Gabriel had brought Serenity to the banquet, but she was not sure if the two of them had any relationship beyond that.

The last time she sent the photos of Serenity and Calvin Gilbert to Gabriel, he did not do anything.

“Two days ago, I heard from my mother that she and Mrs. Jones were university classmates,” said Linda. “When the two of them were reminiscing, we suddenly talked about President Jones and me. She said that she wanted us to have a meal together one day. “Serenity, do you know when President Jones will be free?”

Linda was tactful with her words but Serenity could still hear the meaning behind them. She was indirectly saying that the Jones family had the intention of choosing her as their daughter-in-law.

She tightened her grip on her cutlery and her face turned a little pale. But she maintained a calm tone and said, “Assistant Caleb would know President Jones’s schedule the best. You can ask him.”

Linda supported her chin with one hand, her fingernails stained with cardamom polish were gorgeous and dazzling. She stared at Serenity without blinking. “Do you think I’m President Jones’s type?”

Serenity’s initially good appetite had been ruined. She now felt as if she was chewing on wax.

She casually took two bites and put down her cutlery. “You’ll have to ask President Jones about that. I’m going to the washroom.”

After she left, Linda’s gaze fell on the phone on the dining table. She took Serenity’s phone and typed in the password. She knew because she had seen Serenity use it when they were shopping last time.

After unlocking her password, Linda first checked her call history. The ones from a few days ago had been cleared, and the latest ones from the past two days were not from Gabriel.

She flipped through her contact list again. Gabriel’s number was saved as ■President Jones’, so no one could tell.

Finally, she checked Serenity’s messages. Other than a message from the service provider, there were no other messages from her friends.

At this moment, Linda felt that she was being overly suspicious. Perhaps the two were really just a boss and his secretary. Gabriel only needed a female companion to bring to the banquet at that time. There must have not been anything between them..
