Invitation


    For several days, Seraphina hadn''t seen Orion.


    Her excuse? The workload at thepany had piled up and needed her attention.


    Not seeing Orion for a few days actually made Seraphina feel much more rxed.


    Apart from going to the office, she spent her time shopping and sipping tea with Olivia and Sarah. Even Hansen would join in now and then, bringing along some fun. It almost felt like the carefree life she used to havefortable and fulfilling.


    Scrolling through her social media, Seraphina noticed people sharing different parts of their lives. Emeris was always posting healthy living tips, while Olivia and Sarah kept up the elegant socialite vibe, sharing photos of their outfits, bags, and asionallyining about the dull yet luxurious life they led before returning to their entrepreneurial escapades and squandering money away.


    But something was off with Hansen. The usual social butterfly had suddenly changed his style. Histest post?


    "Reforming agriculture! Carrots, cabbage, and potatoes. The local mountain produce isn''t selling well. Anyone interested in pre-ordering, please help spread the word."


    Seraphina stared at the post for a moment before chuckling. She thought about it and shared it on her page to help.


    Momentster, Olivia messaged her privately. "He''s crazy, and you''re following suits too?"


    Seraphina replied, "Just helping him out."


    As they exchanged messages, a notification popped up. Someone had replied to her post.


    Ken wrote, "Mr. Dros has ced an order for two tons. Payment ready anytime."


    Seraphina raised an eyebrow. She was amused. Just as she was about to ask Hansen if two tons were enough, she saw another reply from Wilson.


    "If there''s anything left, no matter how much, I''ll take it all."


    Haha! Impressive.


    When Hansen found out, he nearly jumped with excitement. The order was precisely four tons, split equally between the two buyers.


    He called Seraphina immediately and asked, "You have toe to the celebration party tonight, and make sure to bring those two CEOs for the contract signing and settle the payment. I''m counting on you." Seraphina barely had time to decline before the line went dead. She instantly regretted getting involved in the first ce. All she could do now was check with Orion and Wilson to see if they had time.


    To her surprise, both of them, despite their busy schedules, eagerly epted the invitation.


    Ever since Orion had recovered from his illness, he seemed to have developed a fondness for walking with a cane. With it, he had a stately, old-world charm, looking moreposed and refined than ever.


    1/3  Invitation


    Wilson, as usual, was the picture of grace and elegance


    Seraphina hadn''t expected the celebration party to be filled with so many political and business bigwigs. It wasn''t the kind of gathering that just anyone could attend.


    Hansen was all smiles as he mingled with the crowd. When he saw Seraphina arrive, he hurried over greeted her. "Oh, my lucky charm."


    Seraphina smiled back proudly and nodded to the people around her. Then, raising an eyebrow, she teased. "Hansen, since when are you in the agriculture business?"


    He leaned in closer and whispered, "Just get lucky this tine! I didn''t expect to run into you all-it''s thanks


    to you!"


    Otherwise, he might have had to pay for his bold ims out of his own pocket.


    Both CEOs took their seats. The contract signing was a swift but solemn affair with no unnecessary dys.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    However, Hansen remained the star of the evening. He had organized the entire event. Naturally, all eyes were on him.


    Seraphina sat beside him, as dazzling as always.


    The two were soon surrounded, sharingughs and light conversation, creating a rxed and friendly atmosphere. Meanwhile, other guests were flocking to the two prominent figures in the room, eager to curry favor. Wilson and Orion were far more poprpared with Seraphina and Hansen.


    Midway through the evening, Seraphina noticed Orion walking toward her, leaning on his cane.


    She frowned and took a few steps forward.


    "Mr. Dros, if you''re feeling unwell, you could have sent someone to attend on your behalf." Orion''s expression softened.

    "I wanted to ask you personally," he said, his voice steady. "Next week, my family is holding a banquet. Will youe?"


    Seraphina paused for a moment and smiled slightly.


    "That wouldn''t be appropriate. Lucinda came all the way here for your sake, didn''t she? If I show up, your family will see me as the enemy." Though, she thought, they already did.


    Orion''s eyes darkened at the mention of Lucinda, his expression instantly souring


    Avexpected, Seraphina had seen through his family ns long ago. How could someone as sharp as her not realize what they were up to?


    "No one could rece you. It doesn''t matter what others think," Orion said firmly. "No one decides for me."


    His tone w


    tone was a little stiff but there was no mistaking the resolve in his eves.
