Fight for Her Favor
The diving scene had to be retaken eleven times before it finally passed. The cold drove Henry to the brink of madness by the end. The director, finally satisfied with the result, allowed him to go home and get some rest.
Henry was so freezing cold that he had forgotten all about Seraphina. Shivering uncontrollably, he walked off without a word, too exhausted to even keep his eyes open.
The director was pleased with the day's work. He turned to Seraphina and said, "Ms. Cross, we owe it all to you."
Seraphina grinned and said, "Director, Henry needs more training. If there are any more scenes he can do, let him have them. We can always edit them later. Newcomers need to train and endure hardships, don't you think?" Her words, however, didn't sound like she was doing Henry any favors.
The director was sharp; he immediately understood her intentions.
So, Ms. Cross had waited here all this time just to tell me that?
She is clearly defining her boundaries with Henry.
Henry's assistant approached from the side. He asked, "Ms. Cross, shall I have the driver take you home?"
Seraphina nodded and said, "Don't forget to remind Henry that he has another commercial shoot in three hours."
He treated her like a sugar mommy.
She saw him as a cash cow.
Each getting what they needed.
Henry's assistant nodded. Even though he was assigned as Henry's assistant, being from Aurora Entertainment, he naturally knew who the real boss was.
When Seraphina got home, she felt exhausted. Justin was in the living room playing a game, giving her a strange look as if he wanted to say something but decided it wasn't worth it.
She had no interest in guessing Justin's thoughts and went straight upstairs to sleep.
The next morning.
Dros Group.
Ken reported in a low voice, "Yesterday, after Ms. Cross had dinner with him, she went to the set to watch his shoot. She returned home alone not long after; he didn't follow her." He dared not mention Henry's name directly, worried it would make Orion lose his temper.
Orion's expression softened slightly as he continued, "Get in touch with the director of that production and plant a few people there."

Ken nodded, understanding without needing Orion to explain further.
Finished
Orion's cold voice was slightly hoarse as he instructed, "Order 99 roses and send them to Seraphina. Actually, I'll deliver them myself." Ken paused for a moment, then quickly caught on.
"Understood, Mr. Dros!"
It seemed like his boss was ready to make his move.
Four hours later.
Orion had just finished a meeting. Holding the bouquet Ken had brought, he went straight to Cross Group.
With his status, the receptionist didn't dare to stop him and immediately informed Thomas. Thomas personally greeted him.
In the executive lounge on the higher level of the building, Thomas respectfully had coffee brought in and spoke politely, "Boss is still in a meeting. Mr. Dros, if it's urgent, I could ask Mr. Sivir to meet with you." Orion waved his hand and sat casually. "No need. I'll wait."
His icy, imposing presence felt like a warning.
Who would dare to make him wait?
Thomas immediately informed Seraphina.
Seraphina cursed under her breath. Orion was practically haunting her. That guy was getting bolder by the day.
When the end of the workday drew near, Seraphina hurried over to prevent her colleagues from spotting Orion. "Mr. Dros, is there something important?"
She emphasized the word 'important'.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Holding the bouquet, Orion suppressed the emotions within, maintaining a calm facade.
"I heard you like flowers."
Heard?
Who told him that?
Seraphina sneered coldly and asked, "Are you jealous, Mr. Dros?"
Orion pursed his lips and said, "I just want another chance to pursue you."
"I won't marry a jerk again."
She raised an eyebrow, her eyes cold and distant.

"A jerk?"
**Finished
Orion fell silent briefly before speaking with a heavy tobe. "I'm not that person anymore. If I get the chance, I'll prove it to you,"
"No need. Even if wounds heal, scars remain. I don't want to reopen them."
Seraphina felt restless. This guy was having a pipe dream.
Orion took a deep breath and said, "How will you know how sincere I am if you don't give me a chance? You keep rejecting me because you're afraid of facing the past. Can't you show a bit of courage?" Seraphina remained silent.
