Serenity raised her head and took a look at the skyscraper, which looked so tall that it seemed like it could touch the clouds. The beautiful sun overflowed with the colors of the rainbow.
She pushed the glass door and entered. The receptionist was on the phone, so she waited for a while.
After the receptionist put down the phone, she smiled and said, “Hi, I am Serenity Rivers. I have an appointment with the chief editor, Ms. Lewis.”
The receptionist gave her a polite smile and led her to the guest room before pouring a glass of water for her. “Please wait for a while, Ms. Serenity.”
After a short while, a woman in her thirties pushed the door open and entered the room. She took great care of her skin, which made her look younger than her actual age. She was also very fashionable and walked with style.
“Ms. Serenity, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Serenity stood up and extended her hand out. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Lewis.”
Ms. Lewis shook hands with her and sat on the opposite chair while giving her an elegant smile.
“Since you were recommended by Mo An, you didn’t have to specially make a trip here. You can just directly come to work.”
Her tone of voice was very calm and even sounded very kind.
Serenity curled her lips up and could not help but remind her, “Ms. Lewis, I don’t know if Robin has mentioned this to you, but I don’t have any work experience.”
After she graduated from the University of California, she only sketched on her own and did not have any work experience.
Although the job was recommended by Robin, and she got it through the backdoor, she still felt that she should go through the whole process to prevent being outcast by her colleagues in the future.
However, Ms. Lewis did not seem to care. “The job is not as complicated as you think it is. If you don’t know anything, you can just ask someone.”
“Thank you for the opportunity.” She shook hands with Ms. Lewis again and agreed that she would start work tomorrow before walking out of the magazine agency.
Since it was still early, she went to a nearby cafe, which was near a river. The river bay was filled with greenery, which made the scenery look very elegant and peaceful.
It was ten in the morning, and there was almost nobody in the cafe. Serenity sat under the shade and ordered a cup of coffee. She took a small sip and closed her eyes.
At a table not too far away from hers, there sat a handsome playboy. Even if he was burned into ashes, she would still recognize him.
The lady sitting beside him looked very sweet and cute. She wore a white dress, which made her look very pretty while having a girl-next-door feel.
Serenity could not hear what the man was saying, but the girl shyly lowered her head and her long slick hair flowed down to her chest, exposing her fair neck.
Serenity gave a gentle sigh. Another innocent girl had fallen into the big bad wolf’s trap.
Just look at her shy face that was filled with admiration; the girl was totally bewitched by that playboy, Calvin Gilbert.
Thinking that kind people would always be rewarded, she decided to help the girl. She put down her cup of coffee and walked forward. A brilliant smile was plastered on her face as she intimately greeted Calvin, “Hi, Cal.”
Her intimate greeting, “Cal” hit Calvin back to reality. He had seen her just now, but since his female partner was with him, it was not very convenient for him to say hi to her.
He thought that she would stay away from everything related to John and did not think she would voluntarily come to him and greet him. She even greeted him so intimately.
In the past, she would call him by his full name, but then again, he did not dare to ask her to call him without his surname.
He had remembered it very clearly. She had called him Calvin once and he was scolded by John for an entire month.
Back then, when John had introduced her to him, she was only 16 and was as innocent as a lamb. She always called him Master Calvin, which sounded very awkward to him.
She was his best friend’s girlfriend, and yet, she acted as if she was so unfamiliar with him. Hence, he had tried to get her to call him by his name..
