Chapter 398 A Secret Relationship
Seraphina’s expression was calmer than anyone could have imagined.
“You invested in this production?”
“That’s right.”
Seraphina continued, “Henry is playing the second male lead. Stay out of it.”
Orion’s breath stiffled; the air around him felt as if it had frozen, a faint chill creeping in.
His eyes narrowed in disbelief; her first demand was for that fake?
He licked his lips, a shadow flickering in his narrowed eyes.
A discomfort stirred in his throat.
“What’s the matter? Can’t let him go?”
Seraphina admitted, “Of course not. I’m the one who brought him in.”
She hadn’t even drained the last drops of value from Henry. How could she let him miss out on such a great opportunity?
Orion’s stare was locked onto Seraphina, the lightness and joy from just moments ago evaporating in an instant, like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
He felt chilled to the bone.
Yet all he could do was stand there, glaring at her, afraid to utter another word.
It was a self–inflicted torment, a humiliation he chose for himself.
Justin cleared his throat, feeling rather superfluous in this tense atmosphere.
Orion was clearly no match for Seraphina.
His concerns were completely pointless.
He rose to his feet, found an excuse, and slipped away.
Only the two of them remained in the cabin.

Seraphina appeared remarkably composed. Was this his breaking point?
She didn’t fear his anger, nor was she worried he might walk away disappointed.
Seated there, she smiled softly, her delicate features betraying no real emotion.
“I can give you a chance, but it’s best if no one else knows about our relationship,” she added with a grin.

Seraphina shook her head and said, “I’m merely considering the interests of both our companies, trying to minimize unnecessary losses.”
What a visionary plan!
Other women would want the whole world to know if they were involved with him.
But Seraphina didn’t want anyone to find out.
She was ready to end things at any moment, which meant she never intended to take it seriously.
Orion’s expression darkened immediately.
“Of course, if Mr. Dros is reluctant, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything just now.”
She could backtrack at any time.
Orion gritted his teeth and uttered, “I agree.”
Did he have a choice?
Compromise was his only option!
Seraphina stood, smiling as she patted his shoulder. Suddenly, she leaned closer, her voice dropping to a whisper.
“Learn well from Henry how to serve me properly.”
With that, she strode away in her high heels, taking Justin with her.
Orion stood frozen for a moment, his body rigid. A storm brewed in his eyes, tumultuous and fierce.
No one noticed the undercurrents swirling between the two.
The crew speculated about whether their relationship had finally thawed; this monumental news sent shockwaves through everyone present.
Orion returned to the Dros Group, not lingering long. He immediately called one of his employees.
“Bring someone to me.”
He had agreed not to expel that damned fake from the production, but he never promised not to teach him a lesson.
