Chapter 391 Do I Owe You for Your Services

Orion felt a wave of irritation wash over him and downed a few more drinks, trying to shake the feeling

A young couple, still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship, sat at the same table, lost in their own little world. Their subtle touches and shared glances caught the eye of everyone around them, sparking envy among the singles

Orion glanced at Seraphina. He noticed her gaze lingered on a dish of sizzling prawns in front of her, but she hadn’t touched it

Without giving it any thought, he reached for his fork and picked up a shrimp. Then, he meticulously peeled the shrimp, discarding the shell and even removing the sand vein

Everyone at the table watched with silent curiosity. So, Mr. Dros likes shrimp

But just as quickly as the thought formed, it dissolved. Orion extended the peeled shrimp toward Seraphina, holding it right by her lips

The crowd was stunned

Oh, it turns out Ms. Cross likes shrimp

Seraphina glanced down, momentarily surprised, before casting a calm, indifferent look in his direction. She didn’t take the shrimp, nor did she lean forward to accept his offer

Instead, she smiled softly, leaning back into her chair, putting more distance between herself, his hand, and the shrimp

Across the table, Aiden observed the exchange with amusement. It reminded him of a recent Instagram post Orion had shared. Suddenly, everything clicked into place

There’s no other woman in the world that Orion would peel shrimp for

Ah, so 

PA 

you two really got back together?Aiden ventured out, his voice tinged with curiosity

Orion’s hand froze in midair

Everyone fell into a heavy silence, waiting for his response

Seraphina’s smile didn’t falter, but it was cold

No, we didn’t.” 

Aiden swallowed back the congratulations that had almost escaped his lips

He glanced at Orion, whose face had darkened. Aiden instantly regretted asking the question, wondering why he had to expose the delicate situation

It was clear to everyone that Orion was deluding himself

No one was more embarrassed than him at that moment

An awkward discomfort settled over the group

With a soft chuckle, Orion withdrew the shrimp, his expression unreadable as he looked at Seraphina. He tapped lightly against his chair

Orion declared, I’m working on it.” 

That’s a bit too humble

Everyone immediately grasped the complicated dynamic between the two

Mr. Dros, don’t give up!” 

Yeah, we’ve got your back!” 

Orion forced a faint smile, the alcohol starting to take effect. As he gazed at Seraphina’s calm, composed demeanor, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness creeping in

He suddenly leaned in closer, his voice tinged with the slur of intoxication

We did spend the night together. Does that mean nothing to you?” 

His voice, whispered, was loud enough for those nearby to hear

Seraphina’s previously calm demeanor cracked at the mention of that night, her annoyance bubbling to the surface

Just thinking about the trouble he had caused her since then made her blood boil. There was something wrong with Orion’s brain

In all honesty, she should have broken his leg that night and abandoned him on the street

Seraphina turned her head slightly, her gaze cool and detached. Though she hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol, Orion couldn’t shake the feeling that she appeared intoxicated

With a soft, attentiongrabbing laugh, she broke the silence

It was just one night, right? Just for fun. You’re not actually expecting me to pay you, are you?” 

As she swirled the glass in her hand, her fingers were flawless, like a work of art

If nothing had happened between themeven something they shared in bedher response would have been the same

He wanted people to misinterpret the situation

Fine. This was her way of handling such a misunderstanding

Yes, we spent the night together, but to me, you were nothing more than a hired boy toy

The weight of her words was palpable and those who overheard the conversation wished they hadn’t

Those revelations were overwhelming, far too awkward for anyone to process

Who would have the nerve to laugh at Orion’s reiectin

Aiden was visibly choked

He realized he had made a terrible mistake by trying to mediate. Aiden found himself in a tough spot

It was painfully clear that these two were like oil and waterutterly incompatible

The meal ended with the food hardly tasting like anything to anyone, but thankfully, there were no awkward silences. The evening wrapped up smoothly, and everyone was seen off without incident

Aiden busied himself with making sure the guests were sent off properly, while Seraphina and Orion remained in the room alone

Seraphina picked up her bag and was about to leave

Orion called out to her. His eyes followed her graceful back as he fought to contain his restless emotions

Do you know the difference between me and Aiden?he asked

Seraphina didn’t respond, but her silence was enough of an answer

Orion stood up and moved toward her

He’s been with his wife for eight years. They’re about to have their second child.” 

His voice was low and raspy, his gaze intense as it bore into her

Seraphina couldn’t understand; she needed to know all about this

And I’m single,Orion continued, his words dripping with bitterness. You should pay more attention to 

me.” 

There was an unmistakable jealousy in his voice

Seraphina pursed her lips, glancing at him with thinly veiled exasperation before walking away

Orion had made his stance perfectly clear, and she found him all the more irritating for it

Outside, the wind picked up, carrying with it a light drizzle

As soon as Seraphina stepped out, her driver approached with an umbrella in hand

She never drove herself to social events; even when she wasn’t drinking, she would never drive

After Seraphina left, Aiden returned after finishing seeing off the last of the guests. He found Orion still sitting there, unmoving, a cigarette now between his fingers

Aiden approached, giving Orion a consoling pat on the shoulder

Buddy,he sighed. The road ahead doesn’t look like it’s going to be easy.”
