Chapter 436 An Uninvited Guest
Once Seraphina calmed down, Henry’s incident began to sink in.
His actions were inconsistent with his typically cautious nature.
Now, with Zora suddenly acquiring several contracts from Dros Group, everything fell into place.
Clearly, this was Orion’s act of revenge, as he used Zora to force Henry to completely distance himself from her.
Poor Henry had become a sacrificial pawn.
Yet Seraphina had no intention of confronting Orion.
It wasn’t out of kindness; rather, it was simply that Henry, in his position, wasn’t worth her seeking revenge for.
Just then, a knock echoed through the office. Before she could respond, the door swung open.
Seraphina frowned, her gaze turning icy. Who dared to intrude unannounced?
Sivir cast a glance at her and raised an eyebrow, a slight frown creasing his forehead. He then cleared his throat. “Someone’s here.”
Seraphina hadn’t even had the chance to pull her legs back from the table when the sound of calm, measured footsteps entered the room.
Orion stood there, taking in the sight of her lounging comfortably in her chair, his expression tightening/ slightly. Well, wasn’t she a picture of leisure?
But she wasn’t alone; there was a man in the room. Thofnas sat across from her, and she seemed utterly indifferent to how she presented herself.
Orion shot a cold look at Thomas, who shivered, unsure of what offense he had committed.
If anyone was at fault, it was Seraphina!
At that moment, Seraphina gracefully returned to an elegant posture, eyeing both Sivir and Orion with a hint of surprise.
“Mr. Dros? What brings you here? I had no idea you would drop by.”
Seraphina looked at her brother with a smile.
With a resigned sigh, Sivir adjusted his tie and explained, “I just got back from a meeting and happened to run into Mr. Dros. We came up together.”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, “Mr. Dros didn’t even send word beforehand. How ungracious of us not to welcome you properly.”
Orion’s gaze darkened as he shot her a penetrating look, his jaw clenched.
He let out a low chuckle and said, “I was afraid that if I announced my arrival, I wouldn’t be allowed in.”

Dumbfounded, a brief chuckle escaped Seraphina’s lips. Well, he had a point!

She fell silent, not intending to seek revenge for Henry. Still, Orion had ruined her means of making money, so he shouldn’t expect any warmth from her.
Sivir pursed his lips and coughed lightly. “How about we go out for lunch together?”
Seraphina shot him a look. Is this man my brother?
Is he blind to the tension hanging in the air?
“Sure!” Orion replied, his tone sharper than necessary.
Apparently, there was no escaping this situation.
The three of them silently agreed not to eat out and headed to the cafeteria instead.
The spacious cafeteria had everything one could desire. They settled into a private VIP room. Seraphina instructed Thomas to go out and order, while the three waited for him in the room.
An uneasy silence enveloped them.
Orion gazed intently at Seraphina, his once calm demeanor now tinged with irritation.
Seraphina felt confused by his intensity.
Orion kept staring at Seraphina. The gloomy expression on his face was not pleasing to the eye.
Last night had been restless; he had boasted confidently to himself that Seraphina only had eyes for him.
But reality struck him hard, like a slap across the face!
His heart felt heavy, especially when he recalled how she had played piano with Wilson the night before, winning the couple’s prize–a prize he had paid for!
He was on the verge of losing his mind.
Orion’s face darkened; his eyes were icy cold as he questioned, “Who were you with last night?”
Seraphina’s smile slightly faded. She met his gaze with icy resolve.
“Why does it matter who I was with?”
Orion shoot, “Let me guess: it was that old man Wilson”
“Mr. Dros, don’t you think you’re meddling a bit too much in my business?” Seraphina crossed her arms, her tone as cool as her demeanor.
Orion’s eyes narrowed. Obviously, Seraphina wanted to distance herself from Wilson.
He pulled out his phone, found the video, and tossed it onto the table.
“Quite the pianist, aren’t you? When will you play for me?”
