When Serenity arrived at the company the next day, she instantly knew something was not right.

Normally, at 8:15 am, a few colleagues would gather to discuss where they went shopping after work the day before. However, when she arrived today, she found everyone sitting in their seats, busy with work.

The atmosphere was quite strange.

She walked to her seat and asked a colleague sitting next to her, “What's wrong with everyone today?”

The female colleague sitting next to her was usually a chatterbox, but today she was very cautious when she spoke. She first looked around before saying in a low voice, “You still don’t know? The bid for Haverford Corporation's land...” Before she could finish her words, Frank walked over and grunted loudly. The female colleague sitting next to her immediately shut up and started working seriously.

Although the female colleague did not finish her sentence, Serenity heard enough to guess the situation. The keywords: Haverford Corporation.

She had almost forgotten that the results of the land bid should have been out. Gabriel had been in a meeting the entire morning and it lasted for three hours. When he walked out, he had a gloomy expression. Behind him was Manager York, who was in charge of the bid for Haverford Corporation's land.

When Gabriel passed by the secretariat office, everyone was focused on their work. They did not even dare to raise their heads, afraid that they would be implicated.

Manager York followed him into the President's office. In less than a minute, they heard a deep roar coming from inside. “Explain these results to me.”

This roar frightened the secretaries as they all looked at each other.

Serenity was even more shocked. Ever since she knew Gabriel, she had never seen him lose his temper.

But today, she could tell by his gloomy face how angry he was.

A few minutes later, Frank and Caleb were called into the office. Not long after, there were banging sounds coming from inside.

The atmosphere in the office turned even more depressing. Even those who had nothing to do were trying their best to find something to do, afraid that Gabriel would see them idling around.

For the entire morning, Serenity was in a state of absent-mindedness. She did not even realize that the machine had run out of paper when she was photocopying documents.

It was a colleague who kindly reminded her when he saw her standing in front of the printer in a daze.

When it was almost time to get off work, Frank told her that she was going to accompany Gabriel to a banquet tonight. Gabriel had never brought a female companion to a banquet, so she was quite surprised that he actually asked her to accompany him tonight.

Frank pushed the glasses up his nose bridge and said, “It’s probably to clarify his relationship with Jocelyn White.”

Serenity did not know the true relationship between Gabriel and Jocelyn White, but she had seen the latter get into the former’s car with her own eyes.

Jocelyn White had almost been kicked out of the entertainment industry, but it had only been less than a month and she had made quite a comeback. It seemed that there was indeed a powerful financial backer supporting her.

Frank gave Serenity a shopping bag from a certain mall, containing a gown and a pair of stilettos with heels that were ten centimeters long.

After work, she waited for everyone to leave before she carried her gown into the bathroom. When she came out, she had already changed into the gown that Frank had prepared.

She slowly walked out of the building with her handbag. Caleb stopped the car by the roadside and she quickly opened the door and got in.

There was no one else in the car so she curiously asked, “Where’s President Jones?”
