Dominic pressed his lips into a tight line.
If this were the past, if Seraphina had dared to disrespect him publicly like this, he would have been furious.
But today, he didn't utter a word of rebuttal.
His hands simply clenched at his sides as he faded into heavy silence.
Seraphina turned her attention back to Priscilla Yates, a faint smile touching her lips.
"Ms. Yates, you have feelings for Gideon?"
Priscilla froze for a second before lifting her chin defiantly.
"So what if I do? Gideon and I have been promised to each other since we were kids!"
Seraphina let out a soft sound of realization.
So, it really was her.
She smiled, but the warmth completely vanished from her voice.
"So, just because you have a crush on him, you went out of your way to spread rumors about me?"
Priscilla's face flushed.
"Who spread rumors about you? You were the one who..."
"Priscilla."
Seraphina cut her off sharply.
"Since you care so much about my relationship with Gideon, I'll spell it out for you today. I am his official girlfriend."
Priscilla's eyes widened in shock.
"What did you just say?"
Seraphina maintained her composure.
She had already agreed to help Gideon fend off unwanted advances, so she certainly wasn't going to drop the act now.
"Gideon and I are in a committed relationship. I am not involved with any other men, and I am certainly not stringing anyone along like you claimed."
Her gaze swept coldly over the other woman. "Who you like is your own business, but that doesn't give you the right to slander others. I expect this to be the end of it. Otherwise, I have no problem making you pay for your actions."
Seraphina spoke evenly, but her commanding presence was undeniable.
Priscilla wanted to argue, but under that piercing gaze, she suddenly found herself faltering.
She never expected Seraphina to publicly admit to dating Gideon.
