Throughout the entire meeting, Seraphina and Wilson had a lot of interaction, showing an effortless understanding between them. A single glance was enough to convey what the other wanted to say. Orion, however, felt neglected, a pang of sorrow rising within him.

As soon as the meeting ended, Wilson leaned toward Seraphina. Wilson spoke in a gentle tone, asking, "Ms. Cross, how about dinner? Are you craving anything?"

Before Seraphina could respond, Aiden interjected, "I'll join too."

Orion added, "Me as well."

Seraphina shrugged and said, "Well, then you all should go." I have other matters to attend to."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

With a composed grace, Seraphina gathered her things and left.

Sensing the sudden tension, Aiden glanced at Wilson.

He said, "Mr. Rockwell, you could have invited us all together. Only inviting Ms. Cross could easily be misunderstood. People might assume that you are interested in going on a date with her." Wilson gave a faint smile, his gaze locking onto Orion.

"That's exactly what I intended."

Aiden's smile vanished immediately.

He fully grasped the subtle tension in the air.

But what he didn't understand was when Wilson had started pursuing Seraphina.

This woman, with her damned irresistible charm!

Orion's eyes grew colder as they met Wilson's. Orion's eyes were filled with arrogance and intensity, unwilling to back down.

He mocked, "It seems some people don't realize their own place."

"Mr. Dros doesn't. Why should I?"

The confrontation was now in full swing.

Wilson gave another brief smile before turning to leave.

Orion let out a harsh chuckle, his grin wild yet tinged with a faint helplessness.

The atmosphere had indeed grown colder.

On the ground floor of Giant Group's building, Seraphina stood by the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

outside. A faint smile played on her lips, a hint of smug satisfaction lingering there.

Seraphina ended the call as Wilson approached. "Mr. Rockwell, anything else?"

Hands in his pockets, Wilson smiled at her and said, "The most important matter right now is taking Ms. Cross to dinner."

This was the second time he extended the invitation,

Refusing now would be impolite.

Seraphina paused, then smiled lightly. "Alright, but it should be treat."

She had initially declined because she didn't want to sit at the same table as Orion. Now that he wasn't coming, she no longer had any reservations.

The two of them got into the same car. Orion saw it all from the upper floors.

The chilling aura that enveloped him grew thicker.

Orion's irritation was written all over his face, his deep frustration tightening in his chest.

Aiden coughed and comforted, "Don't be upset. Just because they left together doesn't mean anything."

That was the only weak comfort he could offer.

Looking back, why did things have to turn out this way?

The private restaurant they headed to wasn't open to the public, only serving familiar guests.

It was located in a villa on the outskirts of town, known for its exquisite ambiance and taste.

Seraphina had been there a few times before, usually accompanied by Olivia and others; reservations were required in advance.

The business must have been doing quite well. When they arrived, they bumped into several acquaintances.

Lucius and Aron were there as well.

Seraphina had no particular connection with them, so there was no need for pleasantries. She headed straight for a quiet spot to sit down.

Wilson handed her a napkin to wipe her hands, his smile warm. "I couldn't help but feel that Ms. Cross was a bit uncomfortable because of something I said last time." "Mm, a little."

Seraphina's response was direct, not one to hide the truth.

Pretending not to care would've been odd.

Wilson smiled again and said, "That was my fault. I was too blunt, but it worked quite effectively."

"I'm not one to waste time on emotional matters Mr Rockwell Lannreciate your

"Ms. Cross," Wilson interrupted, still smiling, "May ask why you're so quick to reject me? Do you have any particular grievances with me?"

Wilson understood immediately. If it was for profit, a marriage alliance held no allure for her.

She wasn't someone who sold herself for material gain

And if not for profit, there wasn't much emotional connection between them either.
