Chapter 208 - 208:I Overstepped
The woman, on the other hand, looked bright and beautiful in a V-neck red dress. Her chestnut hair was styled and draped on one side while her makeup was exquisite, especially her gorgeous red lips.
Serenity’s pupils constricted and her face turned pale as her long black eyelashes trembled slightly. She almost crushed the remote control in her hand.
She rummaged for her phone from the bag beside her anxiously, but couldn’t find what she was looking for. Frustrated, she emptied her bag on the sofa and grabbed the phone to call a certain someone.
After the phone rang for a minute, a sweet voice came from the other end. “The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”
Serenity glared at the couple shining so dazzlingly on the television, her hand still gripping her phone tightly. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to call another number.
Selena had just come out of the meeting room when her phone rang. She saw that it was Serenity so she picked up the call. “Serene?”
The television was still playing as Serenity said, “Sis…”
Selena thought that something had happened to Serenity since this was quite a sudden call. “Did something happen?”
After hearing Selena’s gentle voice, she could no longer say the words she wanted to. The tip of her tongue twirled. “Actually, it’s nothing. 1 just missed you a little, so 1 called you.”
Selena was surprised but happy. Serenity rarely did something like this in recent years, especially since the two sisters had been separated for a long time. She knew Serenity had a knot in her heart and blamed Selena for it.
“I heard that you went to Jonan City for a business trip. Are you settling in well?”
Selena had been under quite some pressure at work and was feeling a little worn out. So when she heard Serenity’s reason for calling, Selena felt as if the heavy burden on her shoulders seemed to have lightened in an instant. Even her tone of voice became much more relaxed.
Serenity was stunned for a moment when she heard the familiar words of concern. “Everything is fine.”
Selena asked a few more questions about Jonan City and the two chatted casually for a while before hanging up.
The camera seemed to have stopped on the couple again, showcasing their glow.
Serenity bit her lip and turned off the television. She continued drying her hair as her frustration grew stronger.
After the charity event ended, a large group of reporters waited outside the hotel to catch a glimpse of the upper-class guests. If the reporters could interview one or two of them, the sales of both newspapers and magazines were sure to increase.
John had already expected this, so he avoided the reporters and left with Jocelyn White through the back door.
Alfred had already driven the car over and was waiting for them. When he saw John and Jocelyn stepping out, Alfred got out of the car to open the door for them. John bent down and sat inside while Jocelyn White opened the other door and got in.
John leaned back in his seat tiredly and pinched the space between his eyebrows. His handsome face was dark and gloomy under the dim headlights.
A strong perfume smell wafted into his nose and a soft hand caressed his temple, gently rubbing it.
He opened his eyes abruptly and swatted her hand away with displeasure, glaring at Jocelyn White.
Jocelyn was filled with grievance. “I saw that you were too tired, so… I’m sorry, I crossed the line..”
