Inherit Billions

First Day of Work

Late at night, a tabloid reporter quietly uploaded edited footage online that portrayed Seraphina’s assertive behaviour without any context. To those unaware of the full story, it appeared as if she w needlessly bullying a man.

After a restful night, Seraphina woke up to her first official day at her new job. She got up early to pick out her outfit for the day.

Olivia pulled up in her flashy sports car, clearly distressed. “Seraphina, you’re being criticised online again!”

Seraphina, taken aback, responded, “Criticised? For what?”

Olivia handed her the phone, displaying a brief video clip that showed Seraphina looking stern while the man appeared distressed.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The terms “bar brawl” and “aggressive ex-wife” had pushed her to the top of the trending searches.

Seraphina turned off her phone and shrugged, staying calm. “It doesn’t matter. If I don’t see it, it won’t upset me. Let’s get ready for work.”

However, Olivia was fuming on behalf of her friend. Despite the effects of last night’s drinks, her memory was crystal clear: Seraphina had acted in self-defense. She could not let this go so easily.

“I’ll handle it. Let’s go to work.

As they prepared to leave, the butler Emeris had sent greeted them courteously at the door.

“Miss, your driver is waiting outside.”

Seraphina frowned, considering the unnecessary attention that being driven in a Rolls-Royce might attract. She quickly refused, “No need, I’ll drive myself,

The butler, unfazed, presented a set of car keys.

“Mr. Cross has handpicked several of the newest Maserati and Porsche models for you, all of which are parked in your garage. Several Lamborghini and Ferrari models ordered from overseas are still on their way. In the meantime, you can use these as an option.”

Olivia’s eyes widened, secretly amazed by the generosity. Emeris clearly held Seraphina in high regard. considering cars worth a fortune as merely temporary options.

The sports car Olivia drove probably would not fetch the price of a tire from any of the cars in Seraphina’s collection.

Seraphina sighed, a bit overwhelmed. “I just want to go to work like a normal person. I can’t be too flashy. I don’t need these. Olivia and I will go together.”

The butler paused momentarily, then respectfully bowed to Olivia, saying, “Please take care of her, Olivia.” Olivia grinned. “Leave it to me. It’s an honour to drive Seraphina.”

The two women exchanged smiles, and Seraphina, taking Olivia’s hand, quickly headed out. This butler

At the meeting, Sivir officially introduced Seraphina. The coveted director position, long vacant and highly sought after, was now hers. Even before the meeting concluded, some attendees had already begun to scrutinise Seraphina’s background and credentials.

Despite her previous status as Orion’s ex-wife, details about Seraphina’s own family background remained remarkably scarce.

Julia Lane, who had been confident about securing the position and had her sights on it for some time, was visibly upset.

“What does Seraphina have to offer? Can someone who had been merely a wealthy family’s daughter-in- law for three years be considered fit for this role? I object. I refuse to work in the same company as someone like her, she declared during the meeting.

Sivir glanced at his watch, his voice cold and dismissive. “If you wish to leave, you are free to submit your resignation. I will approve it.”

The room instantly fell into a tense and awkward silence.

Julia’s face soured, her embarrassment palpable. After years of dedication to the company and finally reaching this point, she was reluctant to just walk away.

And yet, it seemed Sivir was willing to risk humiliating a long-time employee for the sake of a newcomer like Seraphina.

The meeting room remained quiet, everyone exchanging disbelieving looks.
