The voice that just spoke is not Serin's because obviously it is a guy's voice.

But hearing a different person instead of Serin on the other line doesn't dishearten Jeremy because he knows that voice. It's familiar. 

"Good afternoon. May I speak with your boss?" Jeremy tried his best to hide his shaky voice.

"I'm sorry but may I know who this is first? We can't just transfer this call to our boss unless we confirm who is calling on the other line. I am very sorry, sir. But I'm only following an order."

That voice is definitely familiar. Jeremy can't help but flash a smile on his face.

He cleared his throat. "I understand. Thank you for answer

    Looking at the huge frame displayed on the wall, he gulped out of growing nervousness. Then, he looked at the event proposal. Attached in it was a sample drawing. A peaceful mountain under the scattered bright afternoon sun where the dancing leaves and embracing wind were filled with consoling tranquility. This sample drawing would be used as an immense visual background on the four walls in the event hall for the grand opening of Venere Art Gallery & Studio. Serin thought of having that magnificent visual background, not only to complement the theme of the grand opening of Venere but more especially to turn that lovely and consoling view into a meaningful painting.

    There was no response from Jeremy while putting on his black hoodie. How Jeremy usually dresses up makes him completely stand out among the CEOs. Normally, male CEOs would look formal in their properly groomed hair, expensive business suits and shoes. But Jeremy is totally different from them. While growing up, he never put too much attention to what he would wear. He's usually in his most comfy attire; shirt, jeans and sneakers. But despite his simplicity, he would still look charismatically appealing because he has good physique and obviously, he is effortlessly handsome.

    "Surprise!!" Chris' excitement blasted while showing his best friends invitation cards. Ken and Jeremy could not take their eyes off the invitations that are in his hands. Yenny's smile widened. "Serin gave those invitations to us. She wants us to come to the grand opening of her art gallery and studio next month." Ken pulled out one invitation card from Chris' hand. THE GRAND OPENING OF VENERE IN CRIMSON HOTEL "So, this was the reason why you had to meet Yenny after our race? Why didn't you guys tell me that you would meet Serin? I wanted to see her, too." Ken looks disappointed.

    "Wow! Mr. Christian Carter, you haven't changed until now. Is this how you welcomed a friend who just came back from London?" Gail is standing in front of the door. She has become more elegantly beautiful. "Why are you taking so long?" Ken asked, walking to the door. Ken suddenly appeared behind Chris. "Look who is here." Chris responded without a soul. As soon as Ken stood by the door, the sight of Gail flustered him. "Why are you here?" Chris and Ken's same question annoyed Gail in an instant. "Are you really my friends?? Aren't you too ungrateful that I

    Gail suddenly feels annoyed. The way Jeremy called Yenny is driving her crazy. It is just a name but it is obvious that the guy's treatment towards Yenny is completely different from how it is towards her. Gail is getting extremely jealous. That's for sure. She might not be sure if Yenny still likes Jeremy but how the guy is treating her with gentleness is sending her over the edge. "Y..Yes, Sir Jeremy?" Yenny answered timidly. Sitting in front of Yenny, Jeremy leaned forward to face her a lot closer. "Look at me." He said, looking at Yenny. Even though Yenny is

    Out of sudden nervousness, Gail gulped. She got a bad feeling about it. "What truth??" She asked, intently looking at him. Dave exchanged intent stares with her. "That was a lie. On that day, I never showed up before Yenny. I lied when I told you that I had convinced her not to return to Marionne City anymore." "You lied to me????" Gail's anger roared inside the office. "You heard me right." Dave rose up and sat on the couch. "Now that I already told you the truth, you can leave. You're disturbing me at this hour." Gail wants to explode in both anger and frustration. But she chose to compose herself. Her deep sighs filled the office room

    With great surprise, Gail's body almost froze. Her heart began to pound nervously. Right before her trembling eyes, she can clearly see that it is really Serin. She can't be mistaken. Serin, who is with the two guys and two girls, is crossing the road. "What the hell are you doing here???" She uttered angrily, eyes fixed on the girl she hates to see. Gail wants to cuss at Serin face to face. The sight of her is infuriating her so much. Her hateful eyes are following Serin as they are walking to Feron Park on the other side of the road. She can't take her eyes off her despite the surging hate, annoyance and frustration in her hear

    There is a moment of silence. 'Boss? That cheap girl?' Gail can't believe her ears. Kaye placed a calling card on the table. "Venere is a five-minute walk from here. And that art gallery and studio is owned by Ma'am Serin." The sight of the calling card on the table infuriated Gail more. "I never thought that you would come this far, Serin. You were just a homeless housemaid before." Gail's cruel insult dumbfounded Serin's colleagues. They have never met someone like her, annoying and rude. "Did your boss tell you about that? If not, I'm so sorry. Serin's shameful past

That voice, he knew it.That was him, the old man whom he ran into Campbell Park across Tiffany Blue the night when odd occurrences terribly knocked him with shocking terror and absurd affliction.

    Gail simpered. "You think you can fool me??" Gail thought that Dave was just fooling around to tease her since he already knew that she had feelings for Jeremy."What if she really likes my brother, will you do something?""I won't do anything because that's not true and that will never happen." There was certainty in her voice. "Since when did you become fond of playing jokes on someone?She let out a heavy sigh. "Driving for almost three hours now must bore you. If boredom is killing you, play some music. Stop spitting non-sense.""What will I get if I play a joke on you?" He sounded so serious while his eyes were focused on driving.Gail looked at him. How his face plastered seriousness could tell that he was no longer teasing her. That's what Gail felt but the truth was, Dave was only acting. He had to fake seriousness in his voice and expression to persuade her that he was telling the truth.
