Chapter 74 - 74: A Man With Strong Self-Control



A black shadow shrouded her and her lips felt warm. The scent of a man overwhelmed her nose as she tasted a faint hint of tobacco smoke on his lips and tongue when she tried to catch her breath.

Serenity’s body stiffened slightly, dumbstruck as she allowed the man before her to kiss and gently suck on her lips.

Their breaths wafted over each other’s faces, causing her heart to tremble uncontrollably.

For a moment, she had the urge to push him away and escape.

Gabriel was so focused on kissing that he did not notice the shock in her eyes. When he did not get a response from her, he bit her lips lightly as punishment. The slight pain on her lips pulled her back to her senses and she no longer knew what to do but wrap her hand around his waist as they continued kissing. They moved from the rooftop to the room through a night ecstasy.

The next day, Serenity was awakened by her alarm clock. When she opened her eyes and saw that she was in an unfamiliar environment, she was momentarily shocked.

But once she had a clear look at the furnishings in the room, she heaved a sigh of relief. She had been too tired from last night and fallen asleep, but Gabriel still did not stay the night.

She couldn’t help but smile coldly. He hadn’t broken the rules despite the atmosphere they were wrapped in last night. He was truly a man with strong self-control.

As soon as she sat up, she saw a black velvet box on the bedside table. She took it and unwrapped it. Inside was a fashionable necklace. It looked very exquisite and she recognized it to be the most popular one at the moment.

She had seen the model on the cover of a fashion magazine wearing it a few days ago, so she knew what she was looking at with one glance. It was about a few hundred thousand dollars.

Wow, he was quite generous.

Her lips curved slightly into a smile, but it was one more of mockery than happiness or gratitude.

Finally, she placed the box back on the bedside table, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom with her clothes.

A few minutes later, she was out of the bathroom already dressed. As she made her way through the room, she picked up her bag from the sofa, ready to leave. When she was about to turn the door handle, she paused slightly and looked back at the box on the bedside table. After a moment of hesitation, she walked over, took the box, threw it into the trash can, and left.

Zephyr Group, President’s office.

After Caleb reported his schedule to Gabriel Jones, the former closed the file in his hand and looked at the man who was signing a document with his head lowered. He wanted to ask something but hesitated.

When Gabriel noticed that Caleb had not left, he looked up and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“President Jones, Miss Serenity didn’t take the gift you gave her when she left the hotel.”

Gabriel’s hand paused midway through his signature for a moment before he continued with the other documents. His face remained cold and indifferent as always as he faintly hummed an acknowledgment and did not say anything else.

“The hotel waiter… found the necklace in the trash can.” Caleb stammered as he tried to gauge Gabriel’s reaction.

Gabriel still did not respond. Once he had signed the last document, he closed his fountain pen and looked up at Caleb calmly.

“Did you tell her that yesterday was my birthday?”

The woman said that she had looked it up online. But he didn’t believe it. The information on the internet showed that his birthday was three days apart from the real one.

Other than the Jones family, only Caleb knew of the real date. He could not think of anyone else who would tell her.

Caleb’s heart skipped a beat as he flusteredly said, “President Jones, I…”

Gabriel glanced at him indifferently and raised his arm to look at his watch. He frowned slightly and reminded Caleb that they still had twenty minutes before the next meeting.

Seeing that he had no intention of pursuing the matter, Caleb heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll go prepare for it now.” And with that, Caleb quickly left..
