Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 378

"We are entirely committed to this partnership!"

Several executives scrambled out of their chairs, swarming forward as they elbowed Cynthia aside. "Ms. Ross, please stop talking."

"This project cannot proceed without Orca Materials. Your company holds the exclusive core technology for The SmartCare Initiative. Mr. Lockwood has prepared for this for so long. If this falls apart today, we're out of options!"

Dominic had already shoved his chair back and was taking long strides to intercept her.

Moving in a rush, his shoulder accidentally clipped Cynthia.

The impact sent Cynthia stumbling back two steps. She barely managed to stay upright by grabbing the edge of the conference table.

She looked up, watching Dominic sprint toward the door without giving her a second thought. The sheer indignation in her eyes practically boiled over.

Why?

How could Dominic just chase after Seraphina without even checking on her?

"Seraphina."

Out in the hallway, Dominic finally caught up to her, his tone urgent. "It was a lapse in our security protocols. Irrelevant personnel should never have interrupted a meeting of this caliber. It's entirely my fault."

Seraphina stopped and turned to look at him, remaining silent. She simply waited for his explanation.

Seeing that she was at least willing to listen, Dominic let out a quiet breath of relief.

His Adam's apple bobbed as his voice dropped lower. "I apologize. To make amends, I will concede an additional ten percent profit margin on top of our original terms."

The moment the words left his mouth, the executives trailing behind him let out a collective gasp.

Another ten percent?

The Lockwood Group had already squeezed their margins to the absolute limit for this project. Giving up another ten percent practically meant working for free.

But no one dared utter a word of protest.

If they let Seraphina walk out today, the deal was dead in the water.

There wasn't a single company in the industry capable of replacing Orca's technology.

Cynthia had followed them out just in time to hear Dominic's insane offer of conceding another ten percent. The color instantly drained from her face.
