Chapter 126: Give This to President Jones

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the opening day of the resort, many guests were invited. Moreover, the event happened on a Friday, which meant the staff of Zephyr Group who received invitations could experience it for free for two days – they could stay on Friday night and leave on Sunday.

The opening ceremony was held at 11:30 am. Serenity went straight from her home early in the morning, taking her an hour and a half to reach the resort at 9:42 am.

At 10:30 am, guests started arriving. It was not time for the opening ceremony yet, so those who had arrived early took the opportunity to tour the resort.

As the next successor of the Grant family, John brought his wife, Selena, along. With a handsome man and a beautiful woman as a couple, they were like a pair of the golden boy and jade girl, making everyone envious.

Serenity’s emotions were complicated as she looked at the couple walking in together. She tried her best to force a smile as she said, “Sis, Brother-in-law, do you want to rest in the guest room first or have a look around?”

This was the first time she had called him ‘Brother-in-law’ in public so John was slightly taken aback as he pursed his lips and remained silent.

Selena turned to look at John. Since he did not state his opinion, she smiled gently and said, “We’ll have a walk around. You do what you need to do. Don’t worry about us.”

Serenity was a staff member today and had many things to do so she nodded and said, “Please enter.”

After John and Selena left, a colleague from the secretary department beside them approach her with widened eyes. “Serenity, did you just call President Grant and his wife ‘Sister’ and ‘Brother-in-law’?

Serenity smiled and nodded.

The female colleague remembered Serenity’s surname was Rivers, and the lady earlier was surnamed Rivers. Immediately coming to a realization, the colleague said, “So you are the daughter of the Rivers family.”

The colleague often saw her associated with a luxury car whenever she came to and left from the office for the past few days. The colleague simply thought that she was a rich man’s sugar baby. She didn’t expect her to be a socialite.

At eleven o’clock, all the staff members were ready. The opening ceremony was held at the entrance of the resort. There was a stage set up where performers had got on to liven up the celebration. The sound of firecrackers was deafening.

Guests started heading to the entrance of the resort, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Serenity remembered that the speech was still in the car, so she went to the parking lot to get it. As she was leaving the parking lot with the speech in hand, she ran into an acquaintance.

It was Linda, getting out of the car as she tidied up her dress. When she turned and saw Serenity, her expression froze, but it was only for a moment before she regained her composure. “Serenity.”

Linda was dressed beautifully today, and her exquisite makeup matched her outfit. The aqua green dress made her skin look even fairer while the ten-inch high heels made her tall and more slender.

Serenity saw that she had just gotten out of the car and glanced at the car with suspicion.

When Linda saw her gaze fall on the car behind her, she became nervous and went forward to hold her arm. “Didn’t you say that the opening ceremony will be held at 11:30? The time is almost upon us. Let’s hurry in.”

Serenity looked at the time and saw that it was already 11:18 am. She no longer cared who was in the car and hurried to the ceremony venue.

Since she was walking too fast, she twisted her heel and accidentally sprained her ankle. It was so painful that her face turned pale.

Linda bent down and asked, “Are you alright?”

“I sprained my ankle,” said she with a frown.

Linda helped her up. “Can you try walking slowly?”

Serenity stood up and took a step forward but the sharp pain from her leg made her face pale. The ceremony was about to begin. With her current walking speed, she would not be able to deliver the speech to Gabriel in time.

“Give this to President Jones before the ceremony begins..”
