Chapter 411: The Young Madam Hasn’t Come Home YetTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy TranslationSerenity had been waiting in the parking lot of Zephyr Group since 4 p.m.

Afraid that she would be seen by her colleagues, she chose to hide in an inconspicuous corner while keeping her eyes onGabriel's car.

One hour, two hours, three hours passed, but Gabriel still did not appear.The sky gradually darkened and the lights in the parking lot were a little dim, making the place gloomy and cold.

She wrapped her coat tightly around her body and crouched as if to curl herself into a ball. Since she stayed in that position forquite some time, her legs started to feel a little numb. She decided to stand and walk a few steps to return blood flow to her legs.After stretching for a while, she resumed her crouched position.

With the night approaching, the cold in the dim parking lot grew heavier — Serenity started to shiver. She wanted to go home inahuff, but she was also unwilling to do so without having confronted Gabriel.

What right did he have to treat her like this?

Even if he was angry, he had to let her know what she had done to offend him. Although she knew that he was unpredictable,there had to be a reason why he was suddenly so angry that he refused to go home and continued to ignore her. The more shethought about it, the more aggrieved she felt and the corners of her eyes started to feel sour. She sniffed and suppressed theteardrops welling up in her eyes.

It was already nine o’clock at night by the time Gabriel was done with his work. He massaged the space between his eyebrowsand brought his coffee cup to his mouth only to realize it was already cold.

He got up and took a glass to the water dispenser for some water. As he drank, he walked to the French windows, looking at thebeautiful neon lights against the night sky outside.

Only the president's office was lit up in the entire building, with the tall figure forming a dark silhouette against the floor-to-ceilingglass.

Serenity should be asleep by now. Mrs. Winstead said that she had been sleeping well these few days, even taking hour-longnaps at noon.

Although he hadn't seen her for half a month, Wendy Jones had been sending him photos of Serenity every day.

And each photo showed such happiness and bright smiles from Serenity that she looked just like a beautiful flower. This waswhat relieved his fatigue from work every day for the past few weeks.

After taking a short break, Gabriel sat back at his desk and dealt with the latest emails. When he looked at the time again, it wasalmost 10:30 p.m. He turned off his computer and walked to the lounge next door.

Instead of going home, Gabriel had been spending his nights in his office, living from his office lounge — it was about to turn intohis second home.

He had just taken off his coat when his phone rang. It was the landline of South Bay but Gabriel didn’t think it would be Mrs.Winstead calling him at this hour so he put his phone aside and let it ring.

It didn’t take long for it to ring again but this time he had already gone into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, hesaw three missed calls on his phone. He dried his hair and was about to go to bed when his phone rang again. This time, it wasfrom Lenny.

His eyebrows suddenly twitched. Now, he suspected that he had been wrong earlier — the calls earlier were not from Serenity butMrs. Winstead instead.

He answered the call and heard Mrs. Winstead’s voice instead of Lenny’s. “Young Master, Young Madam hasn’t come homeyet.”

“When did she leave?” Gabriel frowned.

“Around three in the afternoon,” said Mrs. Winstead anxiously.

His eyebrows twitched even more violently and he raised his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows. With his deep cold,he said, “Why didn’t anyone follow her?”

“Young Madam didn’t allow anyone to follow her,” said Mrs. Winstead timidly.

After hanging up the phone, Gabriel called Wendy only to hear that the latter did not hear from or hang out with Serenity today. Inthe end, Gabriel dialed Serenity’s number but she did not pick up her phone.

He took off his bathrobe, quickly put on his clothes, and left the lounge. He strode over to his desk, grabbed his car keys, andwalked out.

The documents on the table got caught in his sleeve and fell to the ground but he couldn’t be bothered as he opened the officedoor, and left quickly..
