"Lucius Brown, do you have a death wish?"
The threat was clear and unmistakable.
Lucius shrank back, managing an awkward smile, before making a hasty exit.
That was her answer,
How could there be feelings involved?
She wasn''t a masochist, after all.
Lucius hurried out of the building and stood under the towering Cross Group headquarters, calling Orion.
"Dude. I''ve never thought you and Seraphina were such a perfect match."
Their personalities, presence, family backgrounds-everything fit perfectly!
A woman like Seraphina is exactly who should be by Orion''s side.
Who else could match up to him?
Orion''s voice came through as cold and questioning. "Hmm?"N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
There was a hint of perplexity, but strangely, he felt secretly delighted at Lucius'' words.
Lucius sighed and continued, "But it''s a lost cause now!
Orion immediately hung up, muttering. "What a lunatic!"
After Lucius left, Seraphina received a call from Justin about an auction that evening.
Given the rampant rumours about Justin and Seraphina, Emeris even beat Justin for it.
Therefore, Justin no longer had the nerve to ask Seraphina to be his femalepanion again. Instead, he chose Sarah.
Justin arranged for Albert Reed to be Seraphina''spanion. Albert Reed, a young actor under Justin''spany, was just beginning to gain fame. This arrangement was also a strategy to use Seraphina''s reputation to boost Albert''s profile.
Albert looked visibly nervous. He looked like a prince in his white suit.
He blushed with a touch of shyness when he met Seraphina.
Seraphina simply smiled. She said nothing and took his arm, leading him inside to their seats.
Therge screen in front disyed images of the auction items.
Most were luxury goods, artworks, and items used by famous people.

Albert''s eyes sparkled as lie stared at one item on the screen.
"Is that a brooch made by Dale Haynes?!" He muttered to himself in disbelief.
"Do you like it?" Seraphina asked.
Albert nodded eagerly and said..
"Before I entered the industry. I was a designer. Dale Haynes is my idol. If he could take me on as his apprentice, I''d leave acting in a heartbeat to learn from him! Seraphina didn''t know much about brooches but remembered that Orion had a penchant for collecting them, especially Dale''s creations.
What a coincidence!
Why was she thinking about him? So annoying!
Seraphina''s gaze drifted andnded on Orion, seated a few rows away.
A woman was chattering away alongside him. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him.
Orion turned and saw Seraphina talking to Albert, noticing a cold stare.
Her profile was soft and beautiful, with a lovely, dimpled smile.
So, this was how beautiful she could be when she wasn''t angry.
They sat close together, seemingly very intimate.
Orion felt a wave of irritation in his chest, his expression darkening and his eyes growing colder.
The woman beside him noticed his change in demeanour and followed his gaze.
She remarked exaggeratedly.
"Oh, Ms. Cross has a new boyfriend. What great taste she has! Albert is a rising star; his first drama was a huge hit. Ms. Crass is really popr!" Orion cast a sidelong nce at her, his tone frosty.
"I don''t think your seat is here."
Jane Wheeler was taken aback but quickly masked her surprise with an awkward smile, making an excuse for herself.
"My dad is the organizer. They were willing to switch seats with me."
This implied that she had the freedom to choose her seat.
Jane had just returned to the country, and she was hereto join in the fun.
She was surprised to see Orion here, and she couldn''t pass up the chance to get close to him.
