Chapter 342 The Princess and the Cinderella
At Giant Group.
Seraphina received a message from Aiden inviting her to attend a project meeting to discuss the next steps of the project.
Simultaneously, Lucinda received her job notification.
She temporarily stayed in a high–end residential area not far from Dros Group, with excellent facilities and a quiet, elegant environment,
However, the place where she was informed to report wasn’t Cross Group but Giant Group.
Thomas was the one who organized it
When Seraphina arrived at Giant Group, Aiden was already waiting at the entrance. As the heiress of such a prestigious family, her arrival couldn’t be handled carelessly.
Seraphina walked in with an air of grace. Aiden greeted her with a smile.
“Ms. Cross, you’re right on time.”
Seraphina replied, “Punctuality is a habit of mine
and chatted as they entered the elevator, where they ran into Thomas, who was carrying
The two laughed some materials with Lucinda in tow.
Thomas stopped and respectfully bows. He introduced, “Ms. Cross, this is our new employee.”
Lucinda didn’t greet Seraphina. She stood there, staring at the elegantly poised Seraphina, hoping the woman would notice her.
But Seraphina didn’t.
She didn’t seem to care what Thomas said or who he introduced.
She merely nodded slightly, her steps not faltering in the slightest, and she maintained a calm smile. She didn’t give Lucianda as much as a glance as she followed Aiden into the meeting room.
Lucinda’s hands clenched slightly as she watched her leave.
She was under the impression that, this was her first time she encountered Seraphina, but she knew it
wasn’t.
The woman before her was flawless in every way, yet nothing about her was overly emphasized. Her calm, indifferent elegance, exuding a subtle arrogance, was something Lucinda could never hope to reach or imitate in her lifetime.
“Let’s go, Lucinda. Three cups of coffee–two without sugar or milk, and one with milk but no sugar, Thomas instructed coolly.
Lucinda nodded and headed to the break room.

family business, Fiona could navigate the socialite circles with case. Even Clarke couldn’t stop praising his eldest daughter.
He catered to Fiona’s feelings so much that he was willing to never acknowledge Lucinda as his daughter. If it weren’t for their need for an unmarried daughter for an arranged marriage, she would’ve been left to rot in that cramped, outdated apartment forever.
Lucinda carried the tray of coffee into the meeting room.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Orion talking and laughing with Aiden. His demeanor was calm and composed. However, when his gaze fell on Seraphina, it softened in an unmistakable way.
It was a stark contrast to the disgust and coldness he displayed towards Lucinda. It was the kind of gentleness that could make someone drown in it.
Those three people seemed to exist in a distant world, one that ordinary people couldn’t touch.
Orion looked up and noticed Lucinda. His expression immediately darkened.
Lucinda pretended not to notice and quietly walked in, placing the coffee on the table. “Please, enjoy your coffee.
Upon hearing the voice, Seraphina calmly turned her head but remained silent. It was Orion’s icy voice, that broke the silence.
“What are you doing here?”
