Chapter 229 - 229: He Caught Me Trying On A Wedding Dress
He could imagine how calm President Jones’s tone would be.
But Manager Yates was quite unlucky to be reprimanded today.
It seemed that President Jones would be in a bad mood for the next few days, so Caleb had to be more careful than usual to avoid getting himself into trouble.
There were still ten days before the engagement but Serenity and Calvin Gilbert had agreed to try on the wedding dress one day after work.
In order to prevent a repeat of the previous incident, she told Calvin Gilbert that he did not need to pick her up. She would drive there herself.
After work, she drove to Elisa’s bridal shop. Calvin Gilbert arrived two minutes earlier than her so when she got out of the car, she saw him already leaning against the car, talking on the phone.
After Calvin Gilbert hung up, the two entered the bridal shop together.
Immediately, a shop assistant came up to him, turning more cordial when she noticed the brand of his outfit.
As soon as he entered the shop, Calvin Gilbert sat down on the sofa in the lounge area and played games on his phone.
Serenity went to pick her wedding dress with two shop assistants following behind her to introduce the designs enthusiastically.
The various styles of wedding gowns made Serenity dizzy. So she casually pointed at one of them and said, “This one then.”
“Alright, Miss. This way please.”
A shop assistant led her into the changing room, and another two dragged the wedding dress in.
Half an hour later, Serenity came out of the changing room. Calvin Gilbert shifted his gaze away from his phone and looked up. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. “Not bad.”
Serenity had picked a strapless wedding dress that revealed her elegant fair neck and exquisite collarbone. Her slender waist was accentuated and the wedding dress was decorated with exquisite lace.
Her slightly curly hair draped over her shoulders, making her look serene and gentle. Coupled with her good temperament, it made her even more noble and elegant.
Outside Elisa’s bridal shop, a black Maybach was parked on the opposite side of the road. The window was half rolled down as Gabriel looked through the floor-to-ceiling window of the bridal shop at the woman in the bridal dress. His gaze became more complicated.
Caleb saw the situation in the bridal shop and felt that the days ahead would be even more difficult.
They were supposed to attend a dinner party, but just as they were about to arrive, President Jones suddenly called for them to stop the car.
From the rearview mirror, he saw President Jones staring at the bridal shop across the street and knew why his expression was so cold.
If he had known earlier, he would have taken a detour. These few days, when Caleb went to work, he had been trembling with fear, afraid that if he made a mistake, he would be told to pack up and leave.
He glanced at Gabriel’s expression through the rearview mirror. There was no emotion on his cold face, and it was so calm that it was scary.
The dinner was at 6:30 p.m., so he had to bite the bullet and remind his boss that it was about time.
Gabriel turned a deaf ear. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, “The Gilbert Group and Demei Corporation are in a cooperative relationship?”
Caleb searched his mind before saying, “The two companies have a long-term partnership, and they recently had a new project. Germany and the United States invested more than half of the funds.”
Gabriel did not react for a long time after he finished speaking. Caleb glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Gabriel pursing his thin lips as his gaze fell on the woman in the bridal shop.
Calvin took the opportunity when Serenity was looking in the mirror to secretly take a photo and send it to a certain someone.
John, who was still working overtime, received his text message. When he saw Serenity in her wedding dress, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then, it gradually froze and his expression became dazed..
