Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Rejection 

Seraphina had just finished dealing with Julia and now had to focus on the Giant Group project. Securing this profert was a must. Besides Dros Company, no other company had a financial background as solid as Cross Groups and was capable of competing at this level. 

According to what she knew. Dros Company had no plans to venture into the Al field, which gave her a lot of confidence. 

As the evening approached, Thomas walked into her office with some documents. “The dinner with Gianit Group has transformed into a business banquet,” he reported. “They’ve invited a lot of people, and they plan to announce their project partners on the company’s anniversary. We received a VIP invitation. Should I reach out to them?” 

Seraphina massaged the centre of her eyebrows and said. “Giant Group has all the resources they need and knows they have a lucrative opportunity. There’s no need to reach out to them beforehand. Our terms are the best. Just attend the event on time.” 

Thomas nodded and said, “Understood. Should I arrange for a car to take you home?” 

Seraphina glanced at the tinte. It was indeed late. Just as she was about to wrap up, there was a knock on the door. Hansen stood there with a charming smile. He looked stunningly handsome and captivating. asking. “Do I have the honour of inviting you to dinner?” 

Seraphina couldn’t help but smile at the sight of him. She said, “Of course, when you extend an invite, I can’t refuse.” 

Thomas discreetly exited the room. 

Hansen walked over and gentlemanly draped a coat over her shoulders. He helped her grab her bag and said, “I’ve gotten rid of the biggest third wheel between us. Tonight, it’ll be just the two of us.” 

Seraphina rolled her eyes. Hansen was always carefree and playful, flirting with every woman in his vicinity. Seraphina never took him seriously. 

“I am hungry. What do we have tonight?” 

“There’s a new couple’s restaurant opened in Southvale… ” Hansen barely started; he stopped when Seraphina’s gaze fell on him. He quickly corrected himself and said, “I opened it. You have to come to support my business.” 

Seraphina walked out in her high heels, with Hansen swaggering behind her, and overcame with delight. 

The restaurant was on the top floor of a skyscraper. It offered a breathtaking view of the city’s beauty. The exquisite neon lights that adorned the night sky exuded luxury and charm. 

On the west side, couples danced gracefully to the music; the irresistible romantic atmosphere was hard to 

resist. 

Once they started to relax, Seraphina found the music quite moving; it was one of her favourite tunes. She closed her eyes briefly and smelled the rich scent of flowers in the air. When she opened her eyes, she saw Hansen standing before her with a bouquet. His smile was captivating. 

“This is for you. It’s your favourite Uchea lilies.”

Finished 

Music and flowers were the perfect match for a couple restaurant. However, Seraphina felt nothing romantic with Hansen sitting across from her. 

She smiled, took the flowers, and set them aside. “Thank you. This place is worthy of being a couple’s restaurant. The service here is top–notch.” 

Hansen’s gaze hardened. Did she believe this was part of the restaurant’s service? 

The flowers were freshly flown in from Uchea, and even the soil was still moist. Such an expensive service wasn’t for everyone. 

He shook his head in resignation. Forget it! I had plenty of patience. 

After the food arrived, Seraphina showed little interest in the surroundings or the music. She focused solely on her meal. Hansen eagerly explained each dish’s preparation and origin, maintaining a pleasant atmosphere. 

Seraphina wasn’t particular about food. Hansen’s excitement grew as he watched her eat. 

“Did you get the flowers I sent?” he asked.
