Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Every Monday, the secretariat would hold a weekly meeting where every person would report a summary of their work from the previous week.

After the meeting, Frank asked Serenity to stay back. “Go home and pack your things. You’re leaving for America with President Jones on a business trip at noon.” Frank noticed the hesitation in Serenity’s eyes and said, “Caleb will be going too.”

Caleb and Frank were Gabriel’s right-hand men. However, Frank had to manage the entire secretariat so he was not able to go with President Jones.

Serenity looked at the time. She had just arrived at the company for less than an hour and now had to return to pack her things. Why didn’t he tell her this yesterday?

But despite her complaints, she still smiled and said, “Understood.”

She immediately took a taxi back to the Rivers residence. When she passed the flower garden, Helena Turner was trimming the flower bushes. She was surprised to see Serenity return home so early. “Serenity, are you not working today? Or are you not feeling well?”

Serenity shook her head and said, “I’m going to America for a business trip with President Jones.”

Gardening was a favorite pastime of Helena Turner who was born in Willow Town, Jurvik. Her hobby had allowed her to develop a gentle and quiet temperament.

Serena Rivers inherited Helena’s good temperament so no one would doubt that the former was the daughter of the latter.

Helena Turner put down the shears and took the towel from the maid to wipe her hands. “Going to the United States on a business trip? That far? How long will you be gone?”

“About a week.” Frank didn’t give her too much of the details, so she didn’t know much either.

Helena adjusted her shawl and came out of the flower shed. “Then go and get packing. If you need anything, tell the butler so he can go buy it now.”

She nodded and returned to her room. She pulled out a suitcase from under the bed and packed a few clothes.

Seeing that it was still early, she called Robin to tell him that she was working at Zephyr Group and was going to the United States for a business trip with her boss.

Robin was surprised to hear that and decided to tease Serenity. “So you want me to pick you up from the airport? 1’11 be your tour guide then. There’s a really good restaurant that you’ll definitely like.”

“Hey, hey, hey, I’m going on a business trip with the big boss, not a vacation.” She pouted and protested unhappily. “How could I let a busy person like you personally pick me up? When 1 get to America, if you have time, you can take me out for a big meal and let me exploit you, a capitalist.”

Since she was on a business trip with her boss, her boss would have definitely made arrangements, so Robin did not insist on picking her up.

At 10:30 pm, she asked the driver to send her to the airport. By the time she arrived, Gabriel and Caleb had already arrived.

As it was not yet time to depart yet, several people were waiting at the VIP lounge area. When 11.40 pm came around, the group headed over to the entrance to hand in their boarding passes. After passing the security check, they checked in their luggage and boarded the plane.

The environment in the first-class cabin was not bad. Caleb and Gabriel sat together while Serenity sat diagonally behind them. The person sitting with her was a fat man with a thick gold necklace on his round neck. Due to his large size, he had spilled into one-third of her seat.

As soon as she sat down, she heard the man talking on the phone. He seemed to be discussing business and was quite loud.

The chief flight attendant announced that the passengers needed to turn off their phones, but the man did not seem to hear it and was still on the phone.

Serenity wondered if she should remind him so she tugged at the man’s sleeve. He turned around to look at her. She pointed at the radio in front of her and then at the phone beside his ear, indicating for him to turn it off..
