Runaway Mommy: My Boss is the Father novel Chapter 20

"Hiding in here for a date? What kind of behavior is this? You're interfering with our work."

Jaxson's face darkened, but he didn't bother explaining. He simply turned and walked away.

That afternoon, Seraphina spent all her time prying information about Phoebe out of Simon.

When she learned that Phoebe was married with a child, shock completely took over her face.

Phoebe was married and already had a kid?

Simon added, "Phoebe and her husband have a pretty good relationship, but unfortunately, the kid took after her husband and has health issues. Oh, by the way, Seraphina, the marketing department is having a gathering tomorrow night. Go inform them."

Simon's reasoning was simple: if Seraphina couldn't handle any other tasks, running errands shouldn't be a problem.

Seraphina's initial reaction was to throw a tantrum. She was here to get close to Jaxson and build a relationship with him, not to actually work hard and suffer as an intern.

But then she remembered that Phoebe was also in the marketing department, so she agreed.

Strutting in her five-figure designer heels, Seraphina walked into the marketing department. She casually stopped by Phoebe's cubicle, her eyes sweeping over the items on the desk.

She couldn't help but scoff. "Our company pays pretty well. Why are you using such cheap garbage?"

Phoebe looked up, utterly baffled. She felt like this girl looked somewhat familiar, but after thinking for a moment, she couldn't place her.

"Who are you?"

Seraphina: "..."

Phoebe actually didn't recognize her?

Autumn glanced over and let out a small "oh." "She's the new intern from the secretarial department. I was the one who brought her to her floor this morning. Can we help you with something?"

Seraphina flashed a seductive smile and brushed her hair back, revealing a pair of diamond earrings.

"I'm just here to inform everyone that there's a marketing department gathering tomorrow night. Everyone is expected to attend."

With that, she locked eyes with Phoebe.

"Phoebe, you might not know me. I'm Sebastian's sister."

No wonder she looked familiar. She was Sebastian's sister.

Having claimed her victory, she turned and strutted out of the marketing department.

Autumn rolled her chair over. "What did she say to you? Do you know her?"

Phoebe shook her head and lied casually. "I don't know her. She was asking where the company restrooms are. Said she got lost."

Autumn: "...Huh?"

She couldn't even find the restroom? Was there something wrong with the new intern's brain?

As it neared the end of the workday, Seraphina used the excuse of delivering documents to seek out Jaxson.

Standing in front of him, she smiled brightly. "Jaxson, Eleanor told us to get dinner together after work, and she asked you to drop me off at home afterward."

Jaxson frowned. "I'm not going. Have Sebastian pick you up."

Seraphina stood there looking pitiful, the smile on her face becoming strained.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Jaxson, I ran into Phoebe this afternoon. She said she had no idea you were even at this company."
