Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534 The New Driver 

Seraphina hesitated for a moment before climbing into the car. For reasons she couldn’t quite explain, being alone with him always left her feeling somewhat uneasy. 

Her phone buzzed with the usual texts from William, a series of quick, cheerful messages. 

He was consistently sending a dozen or more messages per day. When she had the time, she would respond to a few messages, but most of the time, she simply ignored them. 

His enthusiasm was overwhelming, a bit too much for her to keep up with. 

If she were too direct in rejecting him, it could potentially damage their friendship, as he had previously saved her life. 

She felt a sense of indebtedness but wasn’t ready to return that favor with anything more. 

Thankfully, she hadn’t acted on the impulse to give him a chance. 

She was much happier on her own. 

The new driver had no idea why Seraphina had gone out only to return again. 

Then it struck him–he recalled what the butler had told him: whenever Seraphina entered or exited the car, it was his job to open the door. It was a simple rule, but one he couldn’t afford to ignore. 

If he missed it, he’d be failing at his duties. 

Suddenly, it clicked. Is this some sort of test? 

Without further hesitation, he quickly rushed to the other side of the car. He positioned one hand behind his back and used the other to open the door for her. 

“Ms. Cross, be careful … ” he said, his voice filled with anticipation. 

Seraphina was taken by surprise, staring at the door now wide open in front of her. Then her eyes met William’s gaze, who was watching her intently. 

For a brief moment, she was at a loss, unsure of how to react. 

William, who had noticed the scene, immediately brightened and took a step toward her. 

No choice now. I have to get out of the car. 

The driver was so attentive that he even shielded her from the sun with his hand. 

Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle at the ridiculousness of it all, directing her amusement toward the overly attentive driver. 

“Seraphina, what are you doing here? How’s your leg?” William asked, his voice gentle and sincere, his presence calm and refined. 

His warm gaze met hers, causing a brief, inexplicable feeling to flutter in Seraphina’s heart.

for a show I worked on, and I thought I’d stop by since I was getting a little bored at home…” 

+8 Pearls 

Ever the gentleman, William reached for her bag from the backseat, moving as if to support her arm without thinking. 

Seraphina hesitated for a second but then casually stepped forward, avoiding his hand with subtle grace. 

He handed her the bag with a concerned look still on his face, pausing for a moment before asking, “Which floor and room will you be heading to?” 

After a beat, he added, “Let me walk you up.” 

Seraphina smiled slightly. 

“There’s really no need. I’m perfectly fine. If I wasn’t, my dad wouldn’t have let me leave the house.” 

William smiled in return, his tone warm and polite. “But I’d love to meet your friends. Would that be alright?”
