Serenity dragged her luggage out of the passageway. Francesca, who had been waiting outside, came up to her. Serenity was surprised to see him. “Francesca, are you here to pick someone up?”

“I’m here to pick you up.” Caleb had called her early in the morning to pick Serenity up at noon.

Serenity was surprised once more. She was not a big boss like Gabriel and yet they had arranged for someone to pick her up?

“You don’t have to go to work today. Go back and have a good rest.”

Francesca was a very charming person with a good and well-proportioned figure. However, the pair of glasses and stiff expression on her face hid her charm.

Francesca’s car was parked outside the airport. The two got into the car and Francesca sent Serenity back to the Rivers residence.

She had returned from a business trip so suddenly that she did not tell her family beforehand. When Mrs. Walter saw her dragging her luggage back, she quickly helped Serenity. “Miss Serenity, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming back? It would have been easier for Mr. Geoffrey to pick you up.”

Serenity changed her shoes at the entrance. “Don’t worry, my company had arranged for someone to pick me up.”

Helena Turner came downstairs. She must have just taken an afternoon nap because her eyes still looked a little sleepy. Serenity called out to her mother and the latter pulled her daughter to sit on the sofa. “Are you tired?”

“I’m not tired.” She smiled and shook her head.

This time, she went to Jonan City to play the role of a nanny. She did not have to run between the construction site and the branch office, so she did not feel tired at all.

After speaking a few more words with Helena, Serenity returned to her room and took a hot shower. She found a set of home clothes from the closet and put them on. When she went downstairs to get some water, she saw Helena on the phone.

“She just came back and needs to rest well. We’ll talk about this in a few days… You’ve always known that I don’t approve of this matter. I can’t say…”

Helena heard light footsteps on the stairs and turned around to see Serenity, so she quickly hung up the phone.

Serenity noticed the slight nervousness in her mother. After taking a sip of water, she asked, “Mom, who was it on the phone?”

“Your dad,” said Helena a little awkwardly.

Serenity didn’t say anything else and drank a few more mouthfuls of water. Mrs. Waiter cooked a simple bowl of egg noodles for the young lady. After eating, Serenity went back to her room to rest.

After sleeping until three o’clock in the afternoon, Serenity woke up, though still feeling a little sleepy. She thought that she was still in Jonan City so she walked to the window to admire the river and passing ships, only to realize that she had returned to A City.

Serenity remembered that she had forgotten to turn on her phone after getting off the plane so she quickly turned it on and saw that an unfamiliar number had called her on the plane. She checked the address and found that it was from Andalas. Despite looking at it carefully a few times, the number was still unfamiliar to her.

Benjamin returned at 5:15 p.m. Serenity and Helena were sitting on the sofa, chatting. As he entered, Serenity called him. “Dad.”

Benjamin hummed a response and took off his suit jacket. The servant took it from him and hung it on the clothes rack at the entrance.

Serenity was already used to her father’s lukewarm attitude. Benjamin walked over and sat down on the single-seater sofa. She poured him a cup of tea that she had brewed on the table.

“Meet with President Fulton’s family tonight,” said Benjamin bluntly.

Serenity froze. She had been on a business trip to Jonan City for the past few days and had forgotten about this matter.. Now that she had just returned, he was already so impatient?
