Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 33: He Must Have Done It on Purpose Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This floor level was very quiet, and her shout earlier was not soft either so it was impossible for him to not have heard her. He must have done it on purpose!

This man was indeed eccentric, just like what the rumors said. Helpless, she could only wait for the next lift to come. When she arrived in the lobby, everyone had already taken their bath and changed their clothes and were waiting for her.

With so many people waiting for her, she was very embarrassed. Moreover, those who waited for her were old presidents from companies.

Benjamin glanced at her with a cold gaze. She looked at the miniature tree at the lobby entrance, which was at least half a man tall, pretending not to see him.

Her gaze glossed over to the man who was surrounded by others, and the fury in her heart subsided.

He did not purposely leave her outside the lift. It was because if both of them were to appear together, it may result in misunderstandings. So, he was being thoughtful.

When they reached the restaurant, the manager personally welcomed them and brought them to a private room. Serenity went to the washroom, and when she returned to the private room, there was one empty seat beside Benjamin. She came with her father, so, naturally, she would sit with him, yet on the other side of the empty seat was Gabriel.

Was this on purpose or was it a coincidence?

If it was really a coincidence, this was too coincidental!

Gabriel leaned back on the chair as he lowered his eyes. His black eyelashes covered his deep eyes, and no one knew what he was doing.

She hesitated for a moment before walking over and pulling the chair to sit down. She then took a short glance at the person beside her.

Acertain someone was playing with his phone; his fingers were swiping the phone screen and in his eyes was a look of concentration.

She took a quick glance at the phone screen again. She feared that others would notice and dared not to look carefully, but she could still see that he was looking at the stock market.

This man really knew how to make use of his time as he was busy even when he was eating.

While they were dining, Benjamin mentioned the topic of Camdell Resort a few more times, but the topic was changed by Gabriel.

Mr. Zion gave Benjamin a look before both of them started to toast him. It should make it easier for them to talk about the collaboration after he was drunk.

Gabriel had been surviving in the corporate world for many years, so how could he not see through their little tricks? He asked for a pot of tea and did not touch a single drop of wine.

Toward Benjamin’s and Mr. Zion’s toasts, he always gave an excuse of “stomach pain,” angering them.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Serenity ate her food silently. This restaurant's prawns were big and delicious. The meat in the prawns was very fresh and spicy. It suited her taste very well, and she had eaten quite a few.

Gabriel sipped his tea and glanced at the plate beside him, which was half-filled with prawn shells. It tilted his gaze toward her

further.

Entering his sight were fair and slender fingers pinching the prawn tail, and when her thin blouse sleeves slid down to her elbow, it exposed her white arm.

There were many dishes on the dining table, yet only that plate of prawns was in her eyes. Her small mouth had turned red due to the spiciness, and after she was finished with her prawns, she would lick her lips.

He pretended to have glanced at her by accident. She was very proficient in eating prawns, biting its head off while her thumb and index finger were pinching the prawn tail. Then, her red lips would gently suck and the meat would enter her mouth.

As he saw her eating with relish, it evoked his appetite. He took a prawn as well and gently sucked it. The taste was really not bad. It was no wonder that she ate so deliciously.

He peeled the prawn shell off, and when the meat had just entered his mouth, he heard Mr. Dion saying, “Is President Jones’s stomach not in pain anymore since you can eat spicy food now?”

With that, he took his wine glass and was prepared to toast him. Gabriel slowly digested the prawn meat and said at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, “I’m hungry.”

His implied meaning was that he had to eat food..
