Ryan smiled slightly, "Thank you for the kind offer, but I might not have time to come over."Chloe looked into his eyes, seemingly trying to gauge his meaning. Then, she sighed regretfully, smiled, and said, "Well, maybe another time. Here's my number. Once you're back in Elfhedge, you're always welcome to come over and taste some wine with me."She said this as she took out a golden business card holder from her purse, delicately pulled out a scented business card, and handed it to him with both hands.Ryan glanced at the card and then at the smiling woman across from him."Thank you," he said politely as he accepted the card, placing it on the table.At this moment, Seraphina had just picked out her ice cream and was about to take a bite when she noticed that only Ryan and Chloe remained at the table. Chloe seemed to have handed him something—was it a business card?Ryan actually took it?Seraphina furrowed her brows, and instinctively quickened her pace. But after a couple of step
Seraphina had originally wanted to ask more, but seeing Chloe’s demeanor and hearing her tone, she figured that even if Chloe did speak, it might not be the truth. She could probably embellish things and twist the relationship between her and the young master in whatever way she wanted.So, Seraphina nodded and said, “Then I won’t ask.”Then she focused on eating the crab on her plate.It was better to eat crab than to listen to a bad woman talk. She decided to stop listening, so she wouldn’t make herself upset.Just then, the young master came back, and the bad woman also stopped talking.After the young master sat down, Seraphina didn’t respond to him and continued to eat the crab with her head lowered.Out of the corner of her eye, Seraphina sensed that the young master was looking at her, almost as if he was observing her, but she still didn’t look up.Finally, the young master couldn’t hold back and asked, “What’s wrong?”Only then did Seraphina lift her head, her eyes filled wit
Seraphina was quietly peeling shrimp, not even needing to look up to sense the flirtatious glances that Miss Moore was sending the Young Master across the table.Where was the Young Master? He was chatting with Deven, talking about trivial matters, nothing too important, just about what was fun around the area. Miss Moore occasionally chimed in, her voice clear and melodious—such a voice could have been made for singing, it would be a shame not to be a singer.But why was the Young Master helping this Miss Moore? He never got involved in other people's matters, so why would he make an exception for her? Had he developed some sympathy for her?Seraphina couldn't help but inwardly complain that the Young Master was both reserved and flirtatious, liking Anna on one hand and showing sympathy for Miss Moore on the other, while also messing with her…Chuck had once said that men were just animals driven by their lower halves, always thinking about love or not, and women were never too many—
At a quiet resort hotel far from the city, under the twilight of the setting sun, they were lost in a passionate kiss, overwhelmed by desire. They forgot their worries, didn't think about the past, and didn't look to the future.It was as if they were two children forgotten by the world, only having each other left. They clung to each other tightly, not caring about anything, lost in each other’s embrace.Seraphina didn't even realize when she was laid flat on the sofa by the young master, nor when he had removed his shirt, nor when she was left wearing only a light lavender bra.When her skin touched his hot and firm chest, she came to her senses.She felt that the kiss this time was unlike any before, stronger than ever.Things seemed to be progressing to an uncontrollable situation."Young master..." she tapped the man’s shoulder, "What’s going on with you today?"He paused, slightly raised his head, and looked down at her, asking in a hoarse voice, "Seraphina, you're so smart, you
“Enough!” Seraphina interrupted sharply.She reached into her back pocket and pulled out a small metallic object. Glancing at it, it was a USB drive.Without hesitation, she tossed the USB drive at Sid. “Take your stuff back. I know exactly what kind of person the young master is, better than anyone else. I only trust my own heart.”As for what was on the USB drive, she didn’t want to know and didn’t care.With that, she turned and walked away.“Seraphina!” Sid called out desperately, almost hoping she would change her mind.Seraphina paused, turned her head back, and gave him a cold look.“The young master has always been exactly who we know him to be. He’s never done anything wrong by us. If you don’t want to follow him anymore, then leave. If you stay, then stand firm. Don’t let rumors sway you. If you serve the young master well, he’ll never treat you unfairly. As for me…”Seraphina paused for a moment before continuing, “I know what I’m doing. I don’t need anyone to worry about m
Seraphina understood. The excuses didn’t matter; Sid had something he needed to say to her, and that’s why he had called her out. What he wanted to say was probably mostly related to the Young Master.Seraphina looked at him. "If you want to say something, just say it."Sid didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he stared at her face, his heated gaze almost as if it could burn right through her.Seraphina rarely saw him like this. Sid was usually quiet, respectful, and restrained in front of the Young Master. He was a little shy around her, too. But recently, the way Sid looked at her had changed. He seemed angry, disappointed, and frustrated.Once, the Young Master had kissed her in an elevator. He had been so moved that he even unbuttoned two of her shirt buttons...When the elevator doors opened, the Young Master reluctantly pulled away from her lips. Flushed, Seraphina had fastened her buttons, about to step out of the elevator, only to see Sid standing outside, looking directly at h
