12 She Wasn't A Nobody After All The moment she opened the door of the private room, someone also came out of the opposite room. Their eyes met and they were slightly stunned.

Out of politeness, she was about to greet him. The words “President Jones” almost left her mouth, but she stopped. Gabriel glanced at her coldly and walked past her like she was a stranger without even pausing.

Watching his tall and upright figure, she rubbed her nose. Seeing as he was walking towards the bathroom, she decided not to head in that direction.

She walked along the corridor and played with her phone in a safe corner. Seeing as quite some time had passed, she put away her cell phone and walked back towards the private room.

Just as she was about to reach it, she saw John leaning against the wall in the corridor. He was wearing a V-neck t-shirt and casual brown pants today. Just as it had always been, he wore simple clothes and yet always managed to look good.

There was a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke around it and the faint light reflecting off of his face made him look even more handsome.

Upon seeing her, he took a deep drag from the cigarette before snuffing it out and tossing it into the bin nearby. Glancing at her, he pushed open the door and went back into the private room.

Her relationship with John was sensitive, and the two of them entering together might cause misunderstandings, so she waited a while before entering the room.

At the dining table, Helena saw that her daughter was too thin, so she took good care of her, constantly giving her more food from each dish.

She had a small appetite, yet she didn’t want to let Helena’s kindness go to waste, so she kept forcing down the food and hiding her discomfort.

After the meal, a few of them left the private room.

At the same time, a few men in suits exited the opposite room.

The men looked extraordinarily handsome and regal.

Benjamin stepped forward and extended his hand in greeting. “President Jones, it’s been a while.” Gabriel shook his hand with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of indifference within his polite smile. His gaze swept disinterestedly over the people behind Benjamin. “President Rivers, is this a family banquet?” This lady turned out to be the daughter of the Rivers family!

Benjamin answered politely, “Master Samson came back today, so we're here to welcome him home.” Gabriel’s gaze shifted from Serenity and landed on Master Samson.

Although they weren't acquainted, he had good manners, so he greeted him. “Mr. Rivers.”

His casual gaze swept past Serenity.

Although it was just a short moment, she could clearly see the coldness within his eyes.

Since when had she offended him?

Upon hearing Benjamin address Gabriel as President Jones, Master Samson guessed that this man was the well-known head of the Jones family.

When he was young, he had also dabbled in the business and thus was acquainted with his grandfather, so his face was full of smiles.

“| remember you were only six years old the last time | saw you. You’ve grown up.” This friendship...ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Gabriel raised his eyebrows and smiled. The crystal lamp on the corridor shone on him, highlighting his features, making him seem more handsome and perfect.

John also stepped forward to shake his hand. He glanced at the people behind Gabriel and recognized some of them. They were all bosses of a certain company. “President Jones, were you discussing a project?”

Gabriel nodded, the light reflecting off of his eyes. The people behind Gabriel exchanged greetings with John, all being superficially polite.

After exchanging greetings, the two groups of people left the hotel.
