Just as Serena was about to call Sebastian, she ran into Daniel.

“Mrs.-” Daniel started to speak, but when he noticed the strange looks from employees passing by, he quickly stopped himself. “You’re here, Ms. Steele. Come up with me.”

At the Levine Group, aside from Nathan, the only people who knew about her relationship with Sebastian were probably Daniel and Sebastian’s special assistant.

Serena apologized softly and followed him into the elevator.

“Mrs. Levine, we’ll switch to the president’s private elevator on the third floor. Mr. Levine is still in a meeting. Why don’t you rest in his office for a bit?”

Serena nodded and waited obediently in his office. Sebastian was just like his office–monotoned and clean–cut, disciplined and strict to the extreme.

The only outrageous thing he had probably ever done was marrying her–his former nephew’s ex–fiancee.

Serena casually picked up a magazine from the rack. The man on the cover looked mature and steady, so serious that it was almost rigid. Only she knew that at night, he was like an old house on fire, burning hotter and hotter.

Sebastian looked at Cole, who was more than ten years older than him, and raised an eyebrow.

“Mr. Murphy, don’t you think this is rather inappropriate?”

Cole had a short temper. “What’s inappropriate about it? I’m investing five billion into your project. Send me the account number, and I’ll transfer the money right away.”

Sebastian had never seen someone negotiate business so bluntly, and he merely snorted. “I’ll pass.”

“I just downloaded an anti–fraud app this morning,” he added calmly. “The first rule to avoid getting scammed is realizing there’s no such thing as a free meal.”

Cole was speechless. “Sebastian, what’s making you hesitate? Come on, are you going to give me your bank details or not?”

Sebastian shook his head. “No.”

Investment wasn’t child’s play. Although the Murphy family was the largest foreign family in Euroh, he wasn’t familiar with them at all.

In fact, the Murphy family hadn’t appeared in the country for years. Very few people even knew about

them.

“One hundred billion. That should be enough, right?”

He had the urge to throw the man in front of him straight out the

“Mr. Murphy, if you keep this up, I’m going to call the police. If it’s some sort of shady business deal, it will only bring us trouble.”

Cole’s eyes widened in anger. “Our business is legitimate!”

It might not have been so legitimate fifty years ago, but after the efforts of their generation, they had long since turned everything aboveboard.

In the end, Cole stormed off in frustration.

Only after Sebastian stepped out of the reception room did he learn that Serena had come.

He quickly returned to his office and instructed Mason, “Call me if anything comes up. Don’t come in.”

Clearly, he didn’t want to be interrupted.

Mason’s lips twitched slightly. “Understood, Mr. Levine.”

Meanwhile, Serena had dozed off on the sofa. Suddenly, she vaguely felt a warm breath brush against her cheek.

“Why are you here? Do you miss me?”

She opened her eyes. Every time she looked at his flawless face, she still felt like she had hit the jackpot.

“Yeah. Are you done with your meeting?” She sat up, trying to clear her head.

“Yeah, I am.”

Serena took the black card out of her bag. “Sebastian, this was one of the wedding gift cards we received the other day. I checked the balance, and there’s a hundred million in it.”
