The Rivers residence was an old residence, where many of the parasol trees were older than Serenity. Even though it was the scorching hot season, they still stood proudly.

The sunlight shone through the gaps and cast mottled spots of light on the tree-lined path, like copper coins in ancient times.

Serenity sat on the wide windowsill with a book in her hands. As she was in her room, she was dressed very casually. She wore a pink tank top and shorts. Her black hair was tied into a bun, revealing her small and flawless fair face. She looked like an underage girl due to her youthful aura.

Her foot was still injured so it was inconvenient for her to move. That was why she decided to stay in her room for a week to read. For meals, food was sent to her room by the servants. Without much else to do, reading was the best medicine to pass the time.

There was a knock on the door and she called for the person to enter. The servant entered the room with a cut watermelon. She placed the plate of fruits on the table and said, “Miss Serenity, Master asked you to send a document from the study to the company.”

It had already been four or five days, so her foot injury was almost healed. She had been in her room all day, so she should take a walk anyway. If she continued to sit in her, she was afraid of turning moldy.

She folded a corner of the book t9 mark her page before closing it. “Got it.”

Half an hour ago, in the president’s office, Gabriel, Benjamin Rivers, and John had just finished their business discussion. Gabriel got up and tidied up his suit jacket. He was about to leave when Benjamin said, “President Jones, why don’t we have dinner together?”

Benjamin Rivers’s expectant gaze was too obvious. Gabriel indifferently said, “I have an appointment with Master Hoffman.”

Everyone in Andalas knew that the Hoffman and Jones families were once family friends. However, due to Renan Hoffman’s accidental death, the relationship between the two families had soured. Hence, it was uncertain whether Gabriel would be able to talk to Master Hoffman.

Benjamin Rivers knew about the relationship between the Jones and Hoffman families so he thought to give some advice. “Master Hoffman likes tea and Serenity is quite good at brewing tea. Perhaps this would prove a good opportunity for President Jones to cater to Master Hoffman’s preferences.”

John’s hand that was holding the document paused. He frowned and said, “Dad, Serene’s leg is injured.”

“It’s healed.” Benjamin Rivers’s tone was cold.

John looked at the indifferent Benjamin Rivers and pursed his lips which turned pale from the force. In the end, he took the project proposal in his hand and left the office.

Following the sound of the office door closing, Benjamin Rivers looked at Gabriel and asked, “What do you think, President Jones?”

Gabriel’s dark pupils were calm and indifferent. “If Ms. Serenity has time to accompany me, that would be great.”

“I’ll ask her to come over now,” said Benjamin Rivers with a smile.

The servant left the room and Serenity alighted from the windowsill. She took out a beige dress from the wardrobe and changed into it. Then, she released her hair from the bun before tying it up into a ponytail. She also applied some moisturizer on her face, making her skin look supple and tender like a newly peeled egg.

She went to Benjamin Rivers’s study and found the documents he wanted on the desk. She called Mr. Charlie to confirm it again and left with her bag.

This was her first time stepping into the Rivers Group’s building. She told the receptionist her name and although the receptionist had never seen her before, how many people in the entire Andalas were named Serenity?

The receptionist was in her early twenties and had a professional smile on her beautiful face as she said, “Miss Serenity, the president has been waiting for you.”

Serenity took the president’s exclusive elevator to the top floor. Upon arrival, the door slowly opened on both sides.

The man standing on the other side had a well-chiseled and handsome face with an outstanding temperament while his dark eyes were like a bottomless pool.

Why was he here?
