Chapter 201: She Was Not Used to Those FlavorsTranslator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy TranslationWith a smile, the man who poured the wine said, “Do have some wine, Miss Rivers.”

Gabriel's faint smile carried a hint of coldness. “We'll all be drunk later and she’s in charge of hailing a cab to bring us back to thehotel.”

He was the big boss indeed to be more thoughtful than the rest. The man who poured the wine looked at Serenity.“Then can 1 get Miss Rivers a famous cold drink from Jonan City?”

Serenity Rivers was about to reject him when Gabriel said, “It’s her first time here, so she’s not used to those flavors. A glass ofhot milk will do.”

Serenity’s ears turned slightly red as the rest of the room watched with silent smiles. She tucked a strand of hair behind her earin embarrassment.

As the party proceeded, Gabriel was unable to reject his subordinates’ enthusiastic toasts.

He didn’t put on airs like a typical boss would either, so everyone felt more relaxed and the dull atmosphere gradually becamemuch more easygoing.

Serenity took a sip of milk and glanced at everyone, noticing that some were already drunk.

Then, she glanced at the man beside her from the corner of her eye. He was no longer as cold as he usually was, listening to theconversations happening around him with a gentle expression.

He already had a few glasses of wine, but he did not look drunk at all. Instead, his deep and quiet eyes shone even more brightlywith the private room lighting.

Gabriel must have sensed Serenity staring at him as he turned to look back at her.Caught off guard, Serenity turned her head away guiltily while taking a big sip of the milk in her hand.

The corners of Gabriel’s cold lips curled up as his warm voice was coated with a sexy raspiness to it, perhaps due to the amountof alcohol he had consumed. “Don't drink it if it's cold.”

Although he did not say it too loudly, he was the main character of the event, so it was almost inevitable that the others hadheard him.

And the crowd couldn’t help their curiosity from getting the better of them as their eyes darted between Gabriel and Serenity.Their boss had been showing quite a considerable amount of concern for her this evening, after all.

With their intense gazes on her, Serenity felt as if the private room was heating up and the air felt thinner.Her pretty face flushed as she softly said, “It’s still drinkable.”When she placed the milk back on the table, Gabriel touched it and said, “It’s a little cold. Change it to a hot one.”

The crowd’s suspicions had been confirmed as they looked on with confidence that there was something more going on betweenGabriel and Serenity.

William was the first to react as he immediately called the waiter over to change Serenity’s milk to a fresh hot glass.

Gabriel took off his suit jacket, and Serenity and Caleb reached out to receive it at the same time.

Since Caleb was a step faster than Serenity, his hand had already touched the corner of his shirt. But something instantly clickedin his mind and he quickly said, “I... drank too much and need to go to the washroom.”

And with that, Caleb left the room.

Serenity ended up being the one to receive Gabriel’s coat as the rest of the room looked on. Despite their eyes on her, shecalmly walked to the rack and hung Gabriel’s coat.

Doubts rose among the crowd again, wondering if perhaps they had speculated wrongly about Gabriel and Serenity.As an assistant, it was normal for her to help him hang his coat. What were the rest of them thinking?

Serenity sat back down and looked at Gabriel from the side. His dark eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyes as his usualindifference had been overshadowed by a sudden warmth, making him look approachable and easygoing.

People who worked in the business world had excellent alcohol tolerance. But after three rounds of drinking, Serenity heaved asigh of relief as the crowd was almost done drinking. It was finally over..
