Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 77: Let Her Look for Embarrassment Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment Serenity returned home and stepped foot into the living room, she heard Master Samson’s authoritative voice boom. “Where did you go last night?”

She was switching to her indoor slippers when she stopped and slowly looked up. Helena Turner was watching television with Master Samson on the sofa in the living room.

But Master Samson’s eyes were fixed on her instead of the screen. She changed into her slippers and replied nonchalantly, “At the hospital.”

Helena saw how unhappy her father was with Serenity’s cold attitude and handed a slice of apple to him. “Dad, one of Serenity’s colleagues was hospitalized last night. She went to the hospital to accompany her.”

This was the excuse Serenity had made up when she called back to the Rivers residence this morning. She did not expect Helena Turner to not suspect anything.

Still, Master Samson's expression did not ease up. Instead, it became even colder and uglier. “Even if you were occupied, you should have at least called home to inform us. How could a twenty-three-year-old not understand to perform such a simple courtesy?”

Serenity stood straight at the entrance with her eyes slightly lowered. “Grandpa, I’m sorry.” Master Samson snorted coldly and picked up the remote control to change the TV channel. It was obvious that he was still angry. Helena Turner gave Serenity a look and the latter nodded knowingly. She went up to the second floor to return to her room.

Amoment later, a knock came from outside her room. When Serenity welcomed the person to enter, Mrs. Walter appeared at the door with food. “Miss Serenity, Madam has instructed me to bring you some food.”

But Serenity was in no mood to eat anything yet so she simply said, “Just leave it there.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Walter followed her instructions and placed the food on the table. Seeing how gloomy Serenity looked, Mrs. Walter was a little hesitant to just let her be. But in the end, she decided to leave silently.

Serenity knew Mrs. Walter had something to say so she asked, “Mrs. Walter, what would you like to say?”

Mrs. Walter turned around and looked at Serenity. “Miss Serenity, in the future, if you have something to do and don’t come home at night, please at least can call home to inform us. Madam was worried about you last night.”

Mrs. Walter recalled how Helena Turner had forced herself to stay awake and watch television with Master Samson all night. Upon hearing that, Serenity felt guilty and pursed her lips slightly. “I understand.”

When Benjamin Rivers returned at night, it was already almost eleven o'clock. Serenity was about to leave her room when she heard a knock on the door. When she saw that it was Benjamin, she was slightly stunned before she regained her composure. “Dad, it’s so late. What’s the matter?”

Benjamin did not say anything as he stepped into the room and sat down at her desk. Seeing this, she knew that he had something to say to him. Could it be because she didn’t come home last night?

Benjamin was still wearing his formal attire - he must have just arrived home and came to see her immediately. He pondered for a moment before saying, “From tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to work at the magazine agency anymore.”

She was slightly shocked, not understanding what he meant. “Dad, what do you mean...?”

Benjamin did not beat around the bush and bluntly said, “You will be working at Zephyr Group.”

She felt a chill down her spine. President Zabinski’s words from last night were still vivid in her mind. So he was right, Rivers Group was facing some issues. The cash flow must not be good and it was almost an empty shell.

Benjamin’s intention was obvious when he asked her to work at Zephyr Group at this time.

And he knew Gabriel’s attitude towards her had been very cold the past few times, but he still asked her to go. Was he trying to make her suffer and embarrass herself?

Her heart turned cold. “My ability is limited. I’m afraid | can’t enter Zephyr Group so easily.” “I'll handle the necessary arrangements. You just get started there,” said Benjamin Rivers in a deep voice.

“But
