Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63 The Man by Her Side 

The next morning, the sun shone brightly as Seraphina headed to the office. She was ready to tackle the day’s tasks. Julia had been unusually compliant lately, seemingly having submitted to her entirely. However, Seraphina knew better than to trust this apparent docility. Julia was merely biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. 

Seraphina wasn’t about to let this ticking time bomb linger. She had already informed Sivir about the previous incidents. 

Thomas knocked on the door and entered with some documents. He said, “Seraphina, the company has started investigating Julia for embezzlement.” 

Hearing this, Seraphina looked up and asked, “Is Sivir going to make his move?” 

“Yes, Kris is already getting restless, and Mr. Cross has said he won’t tolerate it any longer.” 

Julia would undoubtedly be the first target to take down Kris. She must have realised her precarious situation by now, which explained why she hadn’t pushed to join the Giant Group project team again. 

Seraphina brushed a strand of hair from her face. She said, “Hand over the prepared materials and add a bit of fuel to the fire.” 

These were the things Julia had said during a dinner with Marx and Seraphina. 

“Understood.” Thomas paused before continuing. “There’s one more thing. President Dros’s secretary called. Mr. Dros wants to arrange a lunch meeting with you.” 

Seraphina let out a cold laugh, leaning back in her chair, her eyes icy. 

“Tell them I am busy and turn him down. From now on, you don’t need to ask me about his invitations. Just turn them down.” 

“Yes, Seraphina.”

At noon, as Seraphina was about to leave for lunch, there was a knock on her door. Thomas stood there, holding a bouquet of flowers. He called out to her, “Seraphina.” 

Seraphina looked up and frowned. She asked, “Didn’t I tell you to throw them away?” 

“Seraphina, you break my heart. I painstakingly picked these flowers for you, and you don’t even look at them before throwing them away.” 

Hansen emerged from behind Thomas and walked in angrily, asking her a question. 

Seraphina paused. She glanced at Thomas, who looked apologetic and remained silent. 

Never mind; it must have been Hansen’s idea. She couldn’t blame Hansen for this oversight. 

“You may leave,” she told Thomas. 

Thomas nodded. He exhaled a breath of relief and swiftly departed. 

Seraphina rubbed the centre of her brows and smiled at Hansen. She asked, “Colombo, what brings you

“I came to ask you out for lunch, but instead I got this unpleasant surprise!” Hansen glared at her. He gritted his teeth as he complained; he was obviously annoyed. 

Seraphina smiled apologetically and said, “If I act too openly at the office, people will gossip!” 

“I send you flowers to let everyone know you have a boyfriend!” 

He did that to warn other men who coveted her to back off. 

Hansen declared his intentions, making them clear. Seraphina felt a bit helpless and said, “Hansen, don’t waste your time on me.”
