Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 392: It Will Be Too Late Once Someone Is Dead Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After parting ways with Sam, Serenity opened her contact list. It had been a long time since she cleaned it up, so her colleague’s number was still there. She dialed it.

That day, Zoe Mcida was also at the resort so she knew what happened. Zoe asked Serenity about her physical condition and the two chatted for a while.

“What happened to Sam recently?” asked Serenity. “He seems to have a lot on his mind.” “I still have work to do. Let's talk next time.”

Zoe's change in attitude was too sudden which only made Serenity’s suspicions grow stronger. “If you don’t tell me now, | will ask someone else. And | don’t think we can be friends then. | don’t need dishonesty in my friendships.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end but Serenity waited patiently, holding the steering wheel with one hand as she followed behind Sam. He was wandering aimlessly on the street.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Sam and Ms. Lewis have left the magazine agency.”

*Screech!*

Serenity abruptly stopped her car by the roadside. Shocked, she asked, “Why?”

“Because you're Mrs. Jones,” said Zoe vaguely.

Serenity gave it a thought and it finally dawned on her what had happened. “When did this happen?” “The day after your accident,” said Zoe.

After hanging up the phone, she called Caleb and asked him for the details. He knew she would find out sooner or later, so Caleb told her everything.

It seemed that Gabriel had ‘persuaded’ Ms. Lewis and Sam to leave the magazine agency. Manager Howards, who was in charge of the construction of the resort, and the rest of the team were fired too.

Serenity looked at Sam in the square and felt very upset. He had lost his job because of her, but he did not complain at all. He even asked her out to check on her health.

In the conference room, Gabriel sat at the front of the oval conference table while the company’s senior leaders sat on both sides of the table. The atmosphere of the meeting was solemn and stiff as if everyone was prepared for war, their swords and bows drawn.

Manager Howards was an experienced senior and one of the long-time backbone of the company. But he was also just a poor inspector when the signal tower suddenly collapsed.

After all, he couldn’t possibly be there all the time during the construction so he felt that Gabriel’s punishment was too merciless. How could Gabriel dismiss such a senior who had been in the company for more than ten years just like that?

What they didn’t know was that the female tourist caught in the incident was the president's wife. One of the high-ranking officials said, “Manager Howards has been in the company for many years and is a diligent worker. We

can’t blame him for what happened this time. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Besides, there’s a new project we can assign him to redeem himself.”

Gabriel remained seated, coldly indifferent. “It will be too late once someone dies.” Suddenly, Gabriel’s cell phone rang, breaking the stiff atmosphere and all the higher-ups looked at him.

Gabriel slowly took his phone out of his pocket and saw Serenity’s name on the display. He stood up slowly and said, “Meeting dismissed.”

The phone continued to ring until he stepped out of the conference room. He put the phone to his car. “Hello?”

Serenity still had one hand on the steering wheel. Her tone was a little unpleasant as she angrily asked, “That incident at the resort was an accident.. Why did you implicate innocent people?”
