Chapter 255: Something’s Not Right With Her Lately (3)Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She was about to put Serenity’s phone back on the table when she suddenly remembered something. She scrolled to Gabriel’sphone number and sent him a text message.
[Have you eaten?]
As she waited for the message, she looked in the direction of the washroom. After about two minutes, Gabriel replied.
[I'm eating.]
Although it was just two simple words, it was enough to shock Linda.
If the relationship between the two of them was purely professional, knowing Gabriel, he would have ignored this message.
However, he replied to Serenity’s message. Although these two words didn’t mean anything, the fact that he responded was toounusual.
She wasn’t the only one who was shocked. Caleb, who was in the president’s office, was also shocked.
Caleb had packed a light meal for Gabriel from the restaurant. Just as he was about to leave after placing it on Gabriel’s deskand opening it for him, he heard Gabriel’s phone ring due to an incoming message.
Gabriel took the phone and glanced at it. Although his expression was as cold and indifferent as usual, Caleb could see a shift inGabriel's eyes. Then, his boss’s fingers quickly tapped a few times, and a chime rang out in the quiet office, indicating that a textmessage had been sent.
Caleb's jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock. President Jones had always scoffed at those who texted. It was the kind ofthing that he did not care about.
All this while, Gabriel had always felt that it was not only brainless to type a long string of words that could be explained in a fewwords over the phone, but it was also a waste of time.
Other people knew this about him, so they would call if they needed him, knowing that any text sent would be ignored no matterhow urgent it was.
And yet, now, Gabriel had just sent a text response to someone!Linda stared at the two words on the message for a while before sending another message.[See you at Chorley Park at 8 p.m.]
This time Gabriel didn’t reply. She deleted the text message and put her phone back. Then, she started eating as if nothing hadhappened.
Serenity came out of the washroom and saw that Linda had not finished eating. She did not deliberately wait for her and said, “still have work to do so I'll go back to the company first.”
Without the slightest hint of guilt, Linda calmly said, “Alright.”
Serenity called the waiter over for the bill and paid for Linda’s portion as well. After saying goodbye to Linda, Serenity picked upher bag and left the restaurant.
Linda looked at her departing figure with a complicated gaze.Gabriel stared at the latest text message on his phone and frowned slightly. If there was anything inconvenient at work, shecould have said it over the phone. Why did she want to meet at a place like the park?
Gabriel did not plan to go at first, but thinking about how she had been so preoccupied lately, he thought that she had somethingon and worked overtime for a while after work. He left the company at 7:30 p.m. and drove to Chorley Park.
He arrived at the park at 7:58 p.m. Since the park was not far from C University, there were couples meeting everywhere.
He got out of the car, leaned against the car, and lit a cigarette. Looking at the couples who walked past him hand in hand, hethought of himself in the past.
At that time, he had loved someone at the best age and did the same thing as these people.
At the entrance of the park, Linda looked at the man leaning against the car not far away. He smoked so elegantly under the dimstreet lights that elongated his figure.
She had only wanted to test him, but she did not expect him to come and wait patiently.
She clutched the bag in her hand with jealousy.. What right did she, Serenity, have to be liked by him?
