Chapter 402 Warning
As Seraphina drove back to the company, her phone rang. It was Orion.
Initially, she considered not picking up the call, but after a moment’s he she answered.
“Mr. Dros, is there something you need?”
Orion’s voice was warm and upbeat, clearly struggling to contain his good mood.
ood mood.
“I just found out what Aiden has done, and it’s outrageous! Despite being the director of Giant Group, I was completely unaware of Aiden’s actions. I’ve issued a stern warning, so don’t worry–this won’t delay the project.”
Seraphina fell silent momentarily before letting out a scoff.
“Do you take me as a fool?”
Did Aiden really have the audacity to delay things?
No, he must be acting on someone else’s orders!
-Orion also fell silent, then pretended to be taken aback and asked, “What do you mean? Are you suggesting that you think I’m the one who directed Aiden’s unauthorized decisions? I would never mix business with personal.”
A wave of tension washed over Orion. If Seraphina was truly angry, all his past efforts would be for nothing.
He couldn’t accept that.
The nervousness gnawed at him; each second of her hesitation felt like a torment, cutting at his heart.
Finally, she let out a cold chuckle, her voice chilling.
“Orion, you’ve truly changed my perception of you.”
With no interest in hearing his defense, Seraphina decisively hung up the phone.
Thomas approached her desk to make a report. He noted her grim expression and asked with concern, “Ms. Cross, are you feeling unwell? Should I call a doctor?”
Seraphina’s expression stiffened slightly, her voice calm and cold. “No need.”
Quickly, she focused on the documents in front of her and signed her name on the paper.
Then she turned to Thomas and urged, “Tell the legal department to expedite the ownership agreement with the Giant Group. No matter what demands they make, we will not comply.”
Thomas was taken aback. It was the first time he had witnessed such a decisive break from any room for negotiation.
“Understood.”

Suddenly, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Wilson. “Seraphina, would you like to join me for dinner tonight?”
Seraphina paused for a moment, then another message came in,
We are celebrating the successful launch of the project
She smiled.
Wilson always found pleasant and non–pressuring reasons to invite her out.
Reflecting on her own faults, she decided to use this opportunity to apologize.
“Sure,” she replied.
After agreeing on a time and place, Seraphina drove straight to the restaurant.
It was an upscale private establishment, featuring semi–open seating arrangements rather than completely enclosed booths.
Unless one intentionally peeked, it was difficult to see the people around them.
As Seraphina glanced around, she noted the serene, quiet atmosphere, more suited for couples than for business meetings.
Wilson had chosen a table by the window. It was the perfect spot for enjoying the view. A gentle halo of light surrounded his profile, giving him an almost ethereal quality, devoid of any worldly distractions.
As she approached, Wilson spotted her immediately. He stood up and pulled out the chair across from him.
“I also heard great things about this place, especially the desserts. They say girls love them.”
His thoughtful gesture was more than just a professional courtesy; Seraphina understood this but chose not to address it.
She offered him no expectations, nor would she give him any response.
“Thank you.”
Wilson smiled warmly, his demeanor calm and studious, with an air of quiet intellect.
“Yesterday, Aiden came to my hotel to apologize. He said many nice things and asked me to speak well of him in front of you. I realized that I owe this to you.”
Seraphina chuckled lightly and said, “It’s nothing. It’s what I ought to do. My company is also a partner, and I have recommended Giant Group to you. Should they delay their progress, I would opt for a different
company.
Wilson was momentarily stunned, not expecting such straightforwardness from Seraphina. But soon, he understood.
Leaked into who the stakeholders of Giant Group were.
