“Do you know what time it is?” Gabriel interrupted her.

“Huh?” Serenity was dazed after being cut off so abruptly.

“It’s almost midnight. You might not be sleepy since you slept for the whole day. But 1 didn’t get that luxury.” Gabriel had not gotten much rest the night before, afraid something would happen to Serenity when he was asleep. Now, he was so sleepy that he couldn’t open his eyes. He just wanted to fall asleep immediately.

“Alright then, let’s sleep.”

The next day, when Gabriel woke up, Serenity was still sound asleep. He reached out to touch her forehead. Her fever had subsided and the complexion on her face had returned to normal.

He got out of bed and walked two steps before turning back. He took her phone and turned off the alarm before walking to the cloakroom, grabbing his clothes, and entering the bathroom.

When he came out of the bathroom, Serenity was already awake. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

He took out a dark blue checkered tie from the cloakroom and tied it in front of the mirror. “Have a good rest at home. If you’re bored, you can watch TV for an hour or read some books in the study.”

“Is there no room for negotiation?” She looked at him pitifully.

“No.” Gabriel turned around after he was done with his tie without any hesitation.

“Then 1’11 go down and have breakfast with you.” She pouted.

Gabriel had no objections to that. He passed her a set of loose loungewear to put on after she washed up. Then, they went downstairs together.

“Young Madam, are you going to work today?” asked Mrs. Winstead as she served breakfast the moment she saw the two come down the stairs.

Serenity sat at the dining table. “The boss is too considerate of his employees so he gave me three days off.”

There was no comment from Gabriel for a moment. Then, he said, as calmly as ever, “Others don’t get to enjoy this kind of treatment.”

Serenity raised her eyebrows and looked at the man opposite her. “Does the company have a rule that employees have to go to work sick?”

Gabriel took a sip of milk. “Have you ever seen an employee who was sick and asked for leave from me?”

To the others working in Zephyr Group, Gabriel was simply the boss. But to Serenity, he was not only her immediate superior but also her husband. How could she be compared to the others?

Besides, he only needed to inform Francesca – why would a request for leave need to be written?

“I am honored.” Serenity smiled.

After breakfast, Serenity sent him off from the living room. Gabriel took two steps forward and saw that she was still standing on the steps. He gently said, “It’s cold outside. You should go back inside quickly.”

Serenity smiled faintly and said, “Okay. Come back early tonight.”

With the bright and warm sunlight on her face, her faint smile still looked delicate and beautiful. He calmly looked away and turned to walk towards the car.

Caleb got out of the car and opened the car door for Gabriel who bent over to sit down. Caleb then closed the car door, took two steps forward, and got in the driver’s seat door. “President Jones, yesterday’s meeting was canceled at the last minute. The directors are a little upset.”

“I know.” Gabriel was indifferent to Caleb’s report as he looked at the woman outside the living room through the car window. She was still standing on the steps, looking at him.

After Gabriel left, Serenity returned to the living room. She had been wearing rather thin clothes because the house was quite warm from the heater. Standing outside earlier had made her feel quite cold so now that she was back indoors, the warmth was quite welcome.

After Mrs. Winstead was done with her work, she sat on the sofa with Serenity to watch television. Before Gabriel went to work, he had specially instructed Mrs. Winstead to only allow Serenity to watch television for one hour. Thus, after an hour, Mrs. Winstead turned off the television. “Young Madam, you should go back to your room to rest.”

Helpless, Serenity went upstairs, found a few books in the study, and lay on the bed to read. Soon, the morning had passed and the afternoon came. Yet, Serenity didn’t have a chance to leave her room as Mrs. Winstead brought lunch to her.

After Serenity was done with her meal, A^rs. Winstead brought the dishes back into the kitchen to be washed when the landline rang. She rinsed the foam off her hands and walked to the living room while drying her hands on her apron. She looked at the display on the screen and raised the receiver to her ear. “Young Master..”
