BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55 - 55: Indulged by Him
He understood what the secretary meant. The charity fundraiser event had just ended and there may still be some reporters around.
Seeing that the two people in front of him were from a magazine agency and it was the period to select a deputy governor, if he was written about badly by them, the loss would only outweigh the gains.
He tried to suppress his anger and harshly said, “Mr. Sam and Ms. Serenity, you have given me a lot of trouble. Tomorrow, your magazine agency will see my lawyer’s letter!”
Serenity and Sam gasped. If Ms. Lewis found out that they did not manage to interview Mayor Hall and even invited a lawsuit, she would definitely be furious.
Caleb went to the parking lot to get the car while Gabriel waited at the steps. Beside him were other presidents who also waited for their assistants to get the car.
They may all be wearing suits and leather shoes, but in terms of looks and disposition, he was like a triton among minnows as he faced those who purposely engaged in a conversation with him.
His expression was indifferent as he remained silent. It made those people who talked with him very embarrassed, and they refrained from talking to him again.
He inadvertently looked back at the few people who stood outside the hotel and his eyes moved slightly. He indifferently narrowed his gaze and asked, “Why don’t 1 see President Grant?”
A president of a company that was just listed stood on his right side. When he heard his words, he replied to him, “Before the charity event ended, 1 saw President Grant heading to the washroom.”
He gently nodded his head and looked at his watch. Caleb drove the car over, then swiftly got down and opened the car door for him. Gabriel bent down and sat in.
Caleb had just sat at the driver’s seat when he immediately spoke. “Tomorrow, I’m having afternoon tea with Mayor Hall.”
Caleb was startled. Politics and business never mixed together, so there was no need for President Jones to have afternoon tea with Mayor Hall.
Moreover, there was an important meeting tomorrow afternoon and he could not have forgotten about it.
Although he was curious about Gabriel’s actions, the reason he’d been able to work by Gabriel’s side for so many years was not only attributable to his capable working skills. Most importantly, it was his principle to talk less and do more.
“Then, the meeting at 3:00 pm tomorrow…” Caleb glanced at him through the rearview mirror.
“Push it back to the following morning.” Gabriel sat on the car seat with crossed legs as he tiredly closed his eyes and rested.
Caleb glanced at the people who stood outside the hotel through the car window and immediately understood. He replied with a “yes” before he drove the car off.
John walked out of the hotel and saw Serenity and Sam pestering Zander. His hand stopped buttoning his sleeves button and his black brows slightly furrowed together.
He did not say anything, but Zander could take it no more and he shouted, “President Grant, as the brother-in-law of Ms. Serenity, I hope you can teach her properly! She has already brought me lots of trouble!”
The term “brother-in-law” was very piercing to Serenity’s ear. In her heart, she was very unwilling to accept John as her brother-in-law, even if it was an unchangeable truth.
She brushed her hair back to her ear and said with an indifferent tone, “Mayor Hall, if you weren’t the mayor, 1 wouldn’t waste my breath on you either. Frankly speaking, you are just relying on your identity as a mayor.”
Ever since she was young, she had not received love from the elders of the Rivers family. Logically speaking, she should have a warm and gentle personality, yet it was the opposite.
After she met John at Willow Town, John had cherished her a lot and her small temper was indulged by him.
Three years ago, they ended their bitter relationship by breaking up. In that ghostly place in California, no one indulged her and she became steadier over time, yet that unyielding personality stayed on..
