Chapter 266: The Most Expensive Meal (2) Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gabriel pushed the door open to the private room. There were about seven or eight people inside — a mixture of men and women. Joseph's wife, Wanita Sanchez, was sitting next to her husband. He placed his hand on the back of Wanita’s chair and looked at the man who appeared at the door. “Why are you only here now?”

Gabriel's tall figure blocked Serenity so no one could see her. She thought to herself that if everyone saw her later, would they be shocked enough to fall off their chairs?

Before she could imagine that scene, Gabriel strode into the private room and revealed her.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, but the calmest was still Joseph Lopez. He was only stunned for a moment before he regained his composure. “No wonder.”

Serenity entered the private room under everyone’s watchful eyes. Her cheeks turned slightly hot as she followed Gabriel and sat down. Gabriel passed the calligraphy painting to Joseph Lopez sitting next to him. “This is the most expensive meal I’ve ever had.”

The corners of Joseph’s lips curled up slightly. “That’s why you found help. Are you planning to earn back your money?” Gabriel’s deep eyes flashed a fleeting emotion. “Do you think that’s possible?”

Serenity did not quite understand what they meant by this ‘most expensive meal’. The gathering tonight was Joseph Lopez’s treat. What did it have to do with Gabriel?

Moreover, although Palene Hotel was a five-star hotel, how expensive could it be for wealthy people like Gabriel and Joseph Lopez?

There must be a hidden meaning behind Gabriel’s words that she couldn't figure out. Since it was a farewell banquet, there was naturally no lack of wine. Gabriel slid a wine glass away from Serenity. “She doesn’t drink.”

“You're being rather overprotective. Seems like a good announcement is imminent.” Among the people in the room, only Joseph Lopez dared to tease Gabriel. Joseph leaned against the back of his chair and looked at Gabriel calmly. With an unfathomable smile that reached his eyes, Joseph asked, “Are you sure?”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Serenity took the first two sentences as a joke, but the last sentence from Joseph Lopez had a deeper meaning. She looked at Gabriel who calmly said, “Mrs. Lopez, back when Joseph and | were in school-”

Joseph noticed the playful smile on Gabriel's face and realized that this person was definitely more black-bellied than him. He immediately interrupted him and said, “Let's drink, let’s drink!”

Gabriel’s eyebrows were raised as high as the wine glass that was brought to his lips.

After the meal, the group drove over to Golden Sands. Joseph had paid the bill at Palene Hotel, just as Serenity had suspected. Unable to withhold her curiosity any longer, she asked, “Why did you say that today was the most expensive meal?”

Gabriel’s gaze wavered slightly and a rare smile appeared on his lips. “The painting that | gave Joseph Lopez was made by Bill Hudson with a market price of sixty million.”

Serenity’s eyes widened. A meal worth sixty million was definitely quite expensive. This was probably the most expensive meal she had ever eaten in her life.

It was good to follow the boss. Not only could they freeload on food and drink, but they could also broaden their horizons.

Joseph had already booked a private room at Golden Sands. The men gathered to play mahjong while Serenity and Wanita Sanchez sat on the sofa and chatted.

“Are you and President Lopez childhood sweethearts?” asked Serenity in surprise.”

Wanita was a very beautiful woman. Even without makeup, her beauty still shone through. She smiled and nodded. “We still experienced a lot of setbacks, but fortunately, we were able to be together in the end..”
