Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 34: He Actually Despised Her Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Serenity heard those words and almost laughed. When she opened her mouth, the chili got into her throat and it made her choke. She coughed, and it felt terrible.

She took a cup of water and drank it in one go. As she held the pot of tea to pour herself another cup, she saw everyone staring at her. She blinked her eyes in curiosity as she did not know why they were staring at her.

She looked at everyone and saw Mr. Zion’s gaze on the cup in her hands. She looked down at the cup in her hands and immediately understood.

Her cup was placed on her left side while Gabriel's cup was placed on her right side. She was used to using her right hand so the cup that she drank water from belonged to Gabriel.

She quickly placed the cup down and apologized to Gabriel. “President Jones, sorry. | took the wrong cup.” Gabriel furrowed her brows slightly but did not say anything to her. He shouted toward the door of the private room, “Waiter.”

Outside the private room, there were waiters ready to receive orders. When they heard the shout, they opened the door and entered.

He said, “The cup is dirty. Bring a new one for me.”

Serenity’s expression turned slightly pale, and the private room became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard as everyone looked at each other.

The waiter quickly brought a new cup in and poured tea for Gabriel before taking that “dirty cup” away. After the meal, on the way back, Serenity finally understood the reason why Benjamin brought her along to please Gabriel.

It was because previously, at Master Samson’s birthday banquet, Gabriel and she had a dance together. It made Benjamin misunderstand that Gabriel was interested in her, so he brought her along to “relieve her boredom.”

Today, Gabriel made her look bad in front of others twice. Benjamin would definitely not “betray his daughter for personal gains” again.

Yet, Gabriel had gone too overboard today as he insulted her in front of others.

She was so furious that her brain went haywire as she sent him a message. “President Jones, since you despise me, why did you not think that it’s dirty when you slept with me?”

After she sent the message, it fell on deaf ears. All the same, she never really thought he would reply to her. Someone like him would probably ridicule her for sending such a message.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Benjamin saw her taking frequent looks at her phone and casually asked, “Are you meeting someone?”

She had nothing on anyway and felt that she was unnecessary at home too, so she replied, “I’m meeting a friend for afternoon

tea.

Benjamin’s mood was terrible as he could not clinch the deal with Zephyr Group, but he was not one who liked to vent his anger on another so his tone was a little harsh.

“Where are you going? Let the chauffeur send you there, alright?”

Serenity was slightly shocked. “There's no need. Stop at the road intersection in front. | will take a cab there.”

The chauffeur heard their conversation and stopped the car at the intersection in front. When she got down from the car, Benjamin unexpectantly warned, “Take care of yourself and return home early.”

She froze momentarily. In her memory, her father had always had a cold look and his attitude towards her was neither warm nor extreme.

To her, he fulfilled his responsibility as a father by giving her food and clothes and comfortable living conditions. Yet, his love for her could never compare to his love for Selena.

Benjamin’s car left and she walked around the streets aimlessly. She proceeded to find a cafe for her to sit in for two hours.

She had just entered the cafe when Gabriel called her. She stared at her phone screen for a few seconds before putting it into her bag and letting it ring.

She ordered a cup of coffee and sat beside the window as she stared at the bustling crowd outside..
