At the end of the path was a flowerbed. She sat on a bench and looked up at the stars in the night sky. The night breeze blew past and lifted the stray hairs by her ears.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a handsome and slender figure entered her sight.
He had the scent of Selena's perfume on him and his dark eyes stared at her unblinkingly like an abyss.
He stood against the light so it was not easy to make out his facial features.
"Why did you attend the banquet with Gabriel?"
His voice was very calm, making it sound as if he was asking a normal question. However, Serenity was familiar with him and heard a hint of interrogation.
Although she did not understand why Gabriel had brought her here tonight, what right did he have to question her about her private matters now?
A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she responded lightly. "It is just as you saw, I'm his female companion tonight."
