Seraphina frowned, turning her head to meet a pair of cold, piercing eyes.
He stood under the opposite eave, watching her for who knows how long.
Henry’s hand, which was holding the fruit, trembled slightly, and the piece slipped from his fingers, landing on the ground.
For some reason, hearing Orion’s name made his face turn pale with fear.
Well, they were rivals.
Although Orion was wealthy and influential, he believes Seprahina still preferred him over Orion.
After all, she wouldn’t have elevated him to this position if she hadn’t.
With newfound confidence, Henry picked up another piece of fruit with his fork and brought it to Seraphina’s lips.
“Ah…” he encouraged.
No matter what happened, his patron would certainly be able to protect him.
Distracted, Seraphina opened her lips instinctively as the fruit approached her mouth.
By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.
When she looked up, the man standing under the eave was already gone.
That was a relief.
She sighed a breath of relief.
Seeing this should have made him give up, right?
Yet an unexpected restlessness stirred within her. She stood up from her chair and glanced at Henry.
“You should go shoot your scene. The director is calling for you.”
Henry looked over. Sure enough, the director was waving him over.
He suppressed the excitement bubbling inside him, his trembling hands betraying his joy as he looked at Seraphina meaningfully.
“Ms. Dros, once I finish filming, I’ll personally escort you back to the hotel.”
Without waiting for her response, he dashed off.
Seraphina stared after him, puzzled. Why would she need to rest in a hotel?
Suddenly, it dawned on her–in Henry’s eyes, she was his golden ticket, and serving her was his obligation.
A cold smile curled her lips, her elegant features sharpening with disdain.

Then she turned around, only to find the man who had just been lurking in the shadows was now standing right behind her.
His gaze was dark and brooding as it bore into her with an undercurrent of unspoken hurt.
Damn, he startled her.
Orion had approached, exuding a chilling, aggressive energy.
“Going to the hotel to get some rest?“,
His voice was low and gravelly, clearly straining to keep his emotions in check.
He didn’t want to face her as his true self, exposing the parts of him that were ugly.
But he couldn’t help it. When he saw the face so similar to his own getting close to Seraphina, jealousy roared within him like a wild vine, threatening to tear his heart out and leave him in unbearable pain.
Didn’t she realize what that lowly substitute was after?
Yet she still tolerated his presence, acting as if they were so intimate.
She ignored the shrimp he had meticulously peeled for her but welcomed the penniless fool’s advances.
He studied her exquisite features, the chill in her gaze making it hard for him to breathe.
Seraphina didn’t respond, merely smirking. “Didn’t you hear everything?”
If there was a misunderstanding, she decided to keep it that way.
Whatever she did was none of his business now.
Surely he would back off now.
His jaw tightened as he leaned in closer, inhaling her faintly sweet scent, which only served to aggravate his emotions.
“Seraphina, you better stay away from him, or I can’t guarantee what I might do.”
With that, he forcefully brushed his fingers against her lips, as if wiping away something dirty.
His eyes darkened as he stared at her.
If another man had her, he would lose his mind!
Seraphina frowned, and his touch only made her expression colder.
The arrogance and defiance that Orion had kept hidden for so long finally burst forth.
Was he unable to hold it together any longer?
But she didn’t care,
“What you want to do is your concern. What I do with him is ours.”

Her words undoubtedly struck a nerve.

Orion’s gaze hardened, gripping her arm and pushing her against the wooden beam behind her.
He gazed deeply into her eyes, his voice as cold as ice. You dare to say that? A mere imitation of me–are you really not treating him as my substitute?”
The moment the words escaped his lips, he felt his heart race.
If that were the case, it meant Seraphina still held a place for him in her heart.
That man was merely a substitute; how could he even compare to him?
His jaw tightened, betraying his growing anxiety.

Chapter 396 I’ve Slept with Him Before
Seraphina looked at him with a mix of amusement and disbelief. “How could a gentle, kind, polite, and charming boy like him be your stand–in?”
She raised her eyes slightly, me
