Chapter 32: Aborting the pup
"It’s done!"
Amelie turned off the dryer and placed it back in its original spot before stepping away.
Gabriel ran a hand through his hair, smoothing it into place before picking up a comb to adjust it to his usual style. "Thank you," he said casually.
Amelie tilted her head slightly, watching him with a curious expression. ’Why did he ask me to do that?’ she wondered. Still, she masked her thoughts with a polite smile. "You’re welcome."
She shifted her stance and clasped her hands in front of her. "You’ll have a busy day at the office. Your schedule includes three back-to-back meetings, starting from ten in the morning and running until two in the afternoon," she informed him.
Gabriel turned to face her. "In that case, let’s have breakfast before heading to work," he suggested.
Amelie nodded in agreement and left for the dining room ahead of him. Gabriel, on the other hand, took his time arriving. As he entered, Albus stepped forward, whispering something discreetly in his ear.
Gabriel sighed in mild irritation before speaking. "You should just block Casaio’s number."
Albus straightened and shook his head. "I’m afraid I can’t do that, Sir. You know this well."
Gabriel smirked slightly. "Then enjoy being pestered by his constant nagging," he remarked dryly. "Now, enough talk. I’d like to eat in peace."
His gaze shifted to Amelie, who was patiently waiting for him to start before she touched her food. Once he picked up his utensils and took the first bite, she followed suit.
