Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Outside the guest room number 6088, a woman wearing a rose-colored strapless gown stood with a look of nervousness. She took a deep breath and knocked on the room door.

After she knocked two times, no one responded. She was a little dejected but was indignant too.

She continued to knock for the third time and the room door was pulled open from inside.

The man who opened the door did not see clearly who was standing outside the door and said with a cold tone, “Don’t you have the room card?”

Linda was frightened by his displeased voice, but as she thought about her purpose for coming here, she calmed herself down. The man had just come out from the bathroom, and a towel was wrapped around him while his hair was dripping with water. Her face immediately flushed red as she stuttered, “President... President Jones, I’m called Linda. | am here to...”

When he heard the unfamiliar woman's voice, Gabriel stopped his footsteps to the inner room and turned back to look at the person outside the door before furrowing his brows. “Why are you here?”

Linda winced under his sharp gaze and lowered her eyes. She dared not meet his gaze while her two hands tugged at her gown at the side.

“President Jones, | am here to apologize to you.”

Gabriel’s gaze was cold and calm with no movements, and one could not see his real emotions either. “You have already apologized. You can leave now.”

He walked over and took a towel to dry his wet hair.

Linda froze but did not leave. Instead, she lifted her eyes up and secretly sized him up.

His back was facing the door and Linda could see his naked back. Her heart started to beat faster.

She bravely walked into the room. She was wearing a long dress with a girdle, and the dress spread out around her legs. It hugged her slender waist and made her figure look exquisite.

“President Jones, my father is Jack Sawyer. I...” “Why haven't you left?” Gabriel cut off her words in displeasure.

Linda hesitated for a moment before humbly giving a bow to him with a sincere attitude. “President Jones, I’m really sorry for today. | will take your clothes and dry-clean them as a form of apology. May | do that?”

Gabriel ignored her words and she waited at the entrance for a while. After hesitating for a moment, she left.

“Ding.” The lift doors opened. Serenity was startled to see Linda, who stood outside the lift.

Her eyes were slightly red as though she had suffered a large grievance.

She recalled her as the woman who spilled the champagne on Gabriel's clothes.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Out of politeness, she smiled at her and walked out of the lift.

She had just walked two steps when Linda called her. “Ms. Serenity.”

She turned back and looked at Linda in curiosity. She did not know Linda and was even clueless about which family she belonged to. “Is something the matter?”

Linda glanced at the bag in her hands and could tell that there were male clothes inside it from the opening of the bag. “Are you delivering clothes to President Jones?”

She gave an honest nod, and Linda stepped forward to grab her hand, which was lowered at her side, before eagerly looking at her.

She did not understand the other woman’s actions and blinked her eyes. She did not like physical contact with strangers, including those who were female.

She unhesitantly took her hands off her grip. “Miss, if you have anything to say, then do tell me. I’m not in a hurry to leave.” Linda’s face looked a little embarrassed, but it was only for a few seconds. Soon, a smile was seen on her face.

“Ms. Serenity, I’m Linda. My dad is Jack Sawyer from Sawyer Group, the construction company.”

Serenity did not say anything and waited for her to continue speaking.

Linda thought that Serenity would ask her if she had any business here, but even after Linda had been waiting for a minute, Serenity still did not seem like she'd initiate the conversation. Linda was a little embarrassed...
