BXBX NOVEL Chapter 123 - 123: Not Satisfied With The Pay
It was July, right in the middle of summer, so the heat from the sun was scorching hot. Even the cicadas chirping on the branches sounded a little lazy.
Camdell Resort was already completed and would open for business in a week. Serenity and the others were busy with the preparations for the opening day.
Everyone was listlessly decorating the venue, missing the cool air conditioning in the office.
Serenity raised her arm to wipe the sweat off her forehead, then she looked up at the blazing sun hanging in the sky and grumbled with slight dissatisfaction.
“President Jones is here for an inspection,” said someone. “Everyone, look alert.”
Serenity turned around to see Gabriel and the others getting out of the car. Despite the hot weather, he was still wearing a tailored suit over a white shirt. He walked in with his long and straight legs.
Since he was walking with his back toward the light, Gabriel looked as if he had walked out of a golden halo, his body carrying a noble and elegant aura.
Caleb followed behind him. A van was parked behind them and two other people got out of it before grabbing a few boxes of soda from the trunk of the van.
Caleb said with a shout, “President Jones has brought soda for everyone. Please take a break and come drink some soda.”
“Thank you, President Jones.” Everyone put down the tools in their hands and walked over to Caleb who was in charge of distributing the drinks.
Serenity only went forward after everyone had taken their share. Caleb handed her a bottle of soda water and noticed that her face was unusually red. He asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
She nodded and thanked him. Then, she opened the bottle and took a sip.
Gabriel looked around the venue they had set up but it was hard to tell if he was happy with what he saw.
Serenity was the person in charge of the venue this time so she approached him to ask, “President Jones, are you satisfied with this arrangement?”
Gabriel was about to say something but paused when he heard the crisp ring of a silver bell behind him. He turned toward her and saw that she was staring at him. He said, “Not bad.”
A relieved smile appeared on her face upon hearing his words.
With the sun shining on her face, her smile made her glow even brighter. She looked incomparably brilliant and beautiful.
Gabriel’s gaze relaxed for a moment before he recollected himself and said, “You’ve worked hard these past few days.”
She widened her eyes in surprise and the smile remained on her lips. “Then, President Jones, why don’t you give me a good bonus this month?”
Gabriel asked indifferently, “Are you indirectly telling me you’re not satisfied with your current salary?”
Serenity was stunned for a moment before she blinked and smiled, “Who would complain about their salary?”
Although she had put on sunblock, the sun was too strong and her exposed arm had turned red. Some parts seemed to have started peeling.
Gabriel cast a sidelong glance at her cheeks twhichwere flushed red from the sun as well. With her smooth forehead covered in sweat, he said, “Go to the rest area and sit for a while.”
“Alright,” said she.
The two entered the resting area where the others were. When they saw Gabriel enter, they hurriedly stood up to offer their seats to him. But Gabriel did not sit down. Instead, he looked at everyone and said, “Everyone has worked hard today. After the successful opening of the resort, you may come here for free.”
Everyone cheered and said, “Thank you, President Jones.”
Gabriel gave a slight nod and left the resting area.
Serenity was surprised. Why did he leave just like that?
She walked towards an empty seat, and after taking two steps, she suddenly realized that there was only one seat here.. Did he leave that seat for her?
