Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Judy’s Backer 

The alarm clock rang Seraphina woke up to a bright morning. 

Last night, she insisted on returning to her apartment. Waking up without seeing a swarm of servants felt much more relaxing. 

Checking her phone, she saw that the photos from last night’s banquet had pushed her and Orion into the 

headlines. 

Are the Wealthy Couple Getting Back Together?‘ 

The photo captured their kiss at the end of the dance, with the lighting and background artistically enhanced. 

Seraphina scoffed and was uninterested. She closed the page, then opened her email. 

Thomas had sent today’s work schedule to her phone carly in the morning. After a quick washup, Seraphina began listening to the financial news in the Eituni language. 

She seemed to have moved past the unpleasantness of la night; she would no longer allow Orion’s name to affect her. 

Olivia’s phone calls came in and started to bombard her. She had just seen the pictures and wanted to confirm the truth. 

Seraphina answered and explained. Olivia sighed in relief before she ranted, “Hey, look, the news is gone!” 

Seraphina checked, and indeed, it was! 

She wouldn’t spend money on that. So, who did? 

Orion? 

Olivia laughed on the other end. She said, “Look at the group chat; it’s Hansen who paid to remove the 

news!” 

Seraphina opened the conversation, which was buzzing with excitement. 

Hansen wrote: ‘150 thousand for PR fees! They really have a lot of nerve to ask me that!‘ 

Olivia replied: ‘Weren’t you at the party last night? Why didn’t they take a photo of you?” 

Sarah teased: ‘Who’d be willing to pay to remove his picture?‘ 

Olivia replied: ‘Hahaha!‘ 

Hansen chided: “Traitor!‘ 

Seraphina added: ‘Next time, just transfer the money to me directly. I’ll clarify myself. 

Hansen stopped replying. He was devastated. 

After hanging up, Seraphina felt much better.

Chapter 4 Jury’s Backer 

Around seven in the morning. Thomas arrived to pick her up. He also brought breakfast with him and said, “I got this on the way. I hope it’s to your liking” 

Not being picky, she took it and thanked him. “Thanks, let’s go.” 

I’ve notified everyone about the 8 o’clock meeting. Mr Cross said the cooperation with Giant Group is entirely up to you. He won’t interfere 

Sivir gave her autonomy and the opportunity to train herself. Seraphina nodded. “Have we coordinated with Giant Group? We need to move up the inspection 

“I heard Dros Company would be there in a week, so I scheduled it for tomorrow morning” 

“Well done.”

Seraphina reviewed the materials. She didn’t want to meet anyone from the Dros Company, Orion might not personally be involved, but she didn’t want to take chances. 

Throughout the drive, the conversation was productive. Sivir had indeed given her capable support with Thomas, making her job much easier. 

When she arrived at the office, the receptionist greeted her with a bouquet of flowers. “Madam, someone sent you flowers.” 

Seraphina frowned slightly as she glanced at the card. 

‘Dear Seraphina, I love you forever, Hansen Colombo!!! 

She rolled her eyes internally and told the receptionist, “Throw them out, please.” 

She took a few steps, then turned to look at the receptionist. “In the future, refuse any flower deliveries.” 

She couldn’t give Hansen any hope; she had to extinguish that spark completely. 

“Yes, ma’am.” The receptionist sighed at the beautiful flowers doomed for the trash. 

At 8 o’clock, the meeting started on time. 

By the time Seraphina arrived, everyone was already seated. She took the lead, overseeing the project team’s formation. She said, “Here’s the list. Thomas will send it out shortly.” 

Everyone knew the collaboration with Giant Group was a new venture. Being part of this project could be a significant career milestone, which stirring excitement. 

After the meeting, Julia wasted no time seeking her out. 

“Seraphina, why isn’t my name on the list?” 

This crucial project was a prime opportunity to make money, and she couldn’t miss out. 

Seraphina looked up at Julia from her chair. She raised an eyebrow and said, “If every employee not on the list came to ask me that question, thousands would be lining up at my door. How should I answer them?” 

Julia resented her, but she couldn’t openly confront her, fearing the leverage Seraphina had.

“I have ample team–leading experience and top performance among senior managers. Are you still upset about last time?” 

Julia was visibly dissatished. 

Seraphina looked down, smiled faintly, and said, “Not at all. I recall you didn’t think much of collaborating with Giant Group. Your attitude might affect the project’s direction, so…” 

“I will, of course, follow the company’s decision, Julia hastily assured. 

Seraphina gave a polite smile and said, “The list has been submitted to the board. It’s out of my hands. Maybe next time…” 

She began gathering her things, clearly indicating the inceting was over. 

Julia gritted her teeth and declared, “I’ll find a way to make the team, Seraphina. Just wait and see.” 

She turned on her heel, swaying her hips as she walked away in her high heels. Seraphina’s gaze deepened, raising an eyebrow. Perfect, the bait was taken. 

Not long after, Thomas called her through the internal line. He relayed, “Director Kris wants to see you in his office.” 

An old man who was about to retire? 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, “Alright.” 

Her identity in the company was known only to Sivir and Thomas. She wondered what Kris wanted to discuss with the newly appointed vice president. 

Kris was known for his speculative tactics. He had skilfully gained a position on the board and remained steadfast, yet his small shareholding did not pose any threat, leading to his largely ignored status. 

She knocked on the door. A tired voice called out, “Come in.” 

Seraphina walked in with a smile and asked, “Director Kris, you wanted to see me?” 

His eyes lit up upon seeing her, but then dimmed with regret. 

“Have a seat,” he said, gesturing to the chair in front. 

Seraphina sat down obediently. 

Kris chuckled and cleared his throat. “Ms. Cross, you’re truly beautiful. No wonder Sivir went to such lengths to secure this position for you.” 

Seraphina’s smile deepened. So he feared her connection to Sivir? 

She said nothing; she just smiled at him. 

Since she didn’t take the bait, Kris snorted coldly and said, “This position of yours was meant for Julia; did you know that?” 

Trying to intimidate her?

Seraphina paused a little and said, “Ms. Lane is excellent, but I’m more suitable.
