Orion furrowed his brow, his gaze sharp as ice. His face was calm and emotionless, yet his entire demeanor radiated discomfort.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

He stared intently at Seraphina, trying to discern something from her expression.

It didn't make sense.

The Cross Group and Corcker Group had no dealings with each other.

Could this really be a pure confidence?

Lucinda eagerly handed the two men their cups of black coffee and gave Seraphina her cup Then, she stepped aside to prepare the minutes for the meeting. with milk.

Seraphina took a small sip of her coffee before placing it to the side, untouched for the rest of the meeting

Lucinda's performance as an assistant left much to be desired. She hadn't asked any of them about their coffee preferences beforehand.

Still, Seraphina chose not to criticize her. It was the girl's first day, after all, and Seraphina decided to give her some leeway.

After briefly touching on work-related topics, the two men wisely chose not to continue. Seraphina shifted the topic of the conversation "Justin's play is opening tonight. Are you guys coming!

"Of course," Aiden said, his tongue clicking Justin's plays are almost impossible to get tickets for. Can I bring a plus one? "Just one, Seraphina replied.

"Ill go as well," Orion's voice rang out, crisp and clear.

Seraphina nodded, casually gathering her things. She declared, "Let's wrap it up. I'll be leaving now."

As she stood up and began to head out, Aiden called after her. "Want to grab lunch together?"

"No, thanks." She declined directly.

On her way out, she glanced at Lucinda and said, "Thomas is going on a business trip, so you'll be coming with me tonight."

She didn't mind giving the poor woman a chance.

After all, it would benefit both Orion and herself.

Lucinda couldn't help but sneak a glance at Orion, her heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and caution. "Yes, Ms. Cross, she replied eagerly. There were always countless opportunities laid before her, and sooner or later, Orion would see her.

the room.

Now, the grand and imposing conference room only had Orion and Aiden remaining.

Aiden glanced at Orion's expression and couldn't help but laugh, a hint of gloating lacing his tone.

"Mr. Dros, I thought your trip was going well. Seems like there were some bumps along the way."

Orion's cold stare pierced him like a dagger, his face devoid of warmth.

"Curiosity killed the cat, he warned icily.

Aiden choked on his words for a moment but recovered with a soft chuckle. He clicked his tongue, standing up and shaking his head.

"Do you think Ms. Cross keeps that little assistant around on purpose or was it just a coincidence?"

Aiden's question struck a chord with Orion, though he wouldn't let it show. He, too, was curious.

His expression remained calm as he glanced up and asked, "Why don't you ask her yourself?"

Aiden wasn't surprised by the lack of response, nor was he disappointed.

After all, not many people had the privilege of seeing Orion lose his cool. To think he would allow anyone to witness him falter? Not a chance. Orion stood up, leaning on his cane. He limped out of the room, radiating the same aloof aura that warned others to stay away.

Once outside the conference room, he walked toward the elevator but didn't get in.

Lucinda, ever eager, rushed forward to press the elevator button for him. "Mr. Dros... she began, hoping he would notice her. Orion said nothing.

The elevator arrived, and no one got off.

"Where's Ms. Cross?" He asked, his tone indifferent, as though speaking to a mere subordinate.

Lucinda's face stiffened, but she pointed to the office nearby.

"She's in the office."

Orion didn't say another word, simply heading towards the office and waiting for Seraphina to emerge.

Lucinda lowered her gaze, hiding her disappointment as she made her way to the pantry. After that, she returned with a cup of coffee. Orion frowned.

"You're not my assistant," he said bluntly, reminding her of her place.

Lucinda bit her lip, her tone soft and sweet, tinged with a desire to please.

"Mr. Dros, this is my first time attending a play premiere. Is there anything I should be mindful of?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Orion replied coldly.

After all, she was just an assistant-what could she possibly need to prepare for?

Lucinda's smile faltered awkwardly.
