“Wait here, then.” Linda took the item from her. “I’ll get someone to help you after I hand it over to President Jones.”
She nodded. Worried that Linda would be a step late and not be able to deliver the speech to Gabriel, she urgingly said, “Go quickly.”
Linda left with the speech, but she could not find Gabriel anywhere. She asked the staff who said, “I think 1 saw President Jones go to the bathroom just now.” Linda headed towards the bathroom and remembered how anxious Serenity looked just now, so she took out the item that Serenity had given her from her bag. She opened it and saw that it was the opening speech.
Her brows furrowed slightly and a trace of contemplation flashed across her eyes.

When Linda heard his voice, she hid the thing in her hand behind her back in a panic and looked at him in fear.
Gabriel noticed that she seemed to be a little afraid of him. He looked at her strangely and said, “Miss Sawyer, if you need anything, you can ask the staff.” Because of her guilty conscience, Linda’s throat tightened. She tried to calm herself and said, “Thank you for the reminder, President Jones.”
Gabriel brushed away the creases on his lapel and did not look at her anymore. He was about to return to the hall when the two of them brushed past each other. Linda hurriedly turned around and clenched the things in her hands tightly.
Gabriel paused slightly when he saw her big reaction, looking at her suspiciously.
“President Jones, it’s almost time. The ceremony is about to begin.” Linda reminded him.
Gabriel didn’t think too much about it as he narrowed his eyes and strode towards the main hall.
With Gabriel’s back toward her, Linda let out a long sigh. After the man disappeared, she took out the item she had hidden behind her. With a smile that did not have a deeper meaning, she tore the speech into pieces and threw them into the trash can beside her before leaving.
Gabriel bumped into Frank, who was looking for him anxiously. Frank heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his boss. “President Jones, the ceremony is about to begin.”
Gabriel replied with a faint nod. “Where’s Serenity?”
Frank pushed up his glasses. “I didn’t see her.”
Gabriel paused and turned around to look at him. “Call her. The speech is with her.”
Frank immediately took out her phone and dialed Serenity’s number. Serenity was wearing work clothes today, and they did not have pockets so she did not have her phone with her. It was in her handbag, which was in the car.
After a while of ringing, a sweet voice said, “The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrank kept calling Serenity’s phone while looking at the time and saw that the ceremony was about to begin. No one picked up the phone and he didn’t know where she went.
Frank was running around anxiously when Caleb walked over and asked, “What should we do?”
Frank sounded anxious. “The speech is with Serenity, but she’s gone. She’s not picking up her phone either.”
Caleb glanced at his watch. “i’ll look for her.”
When Gabriel arrived at the ceremony venue, many people came up to greet him. He responded to them politely. Frank walked over and said, “President Jones, no one picked up.”
Gabriel frowned. “Haven’t you seen her today?”
“She was here half an hour ago,” said Frank.
When Serenity was still nowhere to be seen at 11:30 am, Gabriel’s frown deepened. “Let’s begin..”
