Chapter 472 Clueless
In the end, Orion managed to finish that plate of salad, but once he returned home, he called Ken to deliver a steak.
Back at the hotel, Seraphina began to pack her bags.
She briefed Joseph on the remaining tasks and prepared to catch her flight home the next day.
Everything went smoothly on Joseph’s end; perhaps Senator Long had given a heads–up. The investigation team officially took over the company’s affairs after Blake’s arrest. Once the accounts were in order, talks about the acquisition could begin.
Blake didn’t put up much of a fight either. After a few days of intense questioning, the evidence was so compelling that he had no choice but to confess.
Seraphina had deliberately arranged for herself a two–day break, passing all company responsibilities to Sivir.
She went to see Olivia. The two had a beauty treatment. After shopping for a while, they finally sat down to rest.
When Olivia heard about Seraphina’s experiences in Eldoria Bay, she was utterly impressed.
Especially the part where Seraphina had won against Orion; it filled Olivia with envy.
“If this gets out, Orion will never live it down!” Olivia exclaimed.
Seraphina shot her a glare and warned, “Don’t go spreading that around. Our families still maintain a balanced relationship. If that changes, some people with ulterior motives will definitely take advantage of it.”
She didn’t want to expend more energy maintaining the balance between them–just enough to keep things steady.
“Is Orion genuinely willing to accept his defeat?” Olivia pressed further.
Seraphina smirked slightly and inquired, “So what if he’s not happy about it? A loss is a loss. Given Orion’s stature and character, he wouldn’t throw a tantrum just because he lost a project.”
The worst that could happen was that he might have lost his appetite a bit.

Olivia couldn’t help but laugh. “Maybe he’s sad inside, but can Orion even lose? I think if his opponent wasn’t you, he wouldn’t have lost so easily.”
With that comment. Seraphina was momentarily iolted.

Chapter 472–Clueless
Her presence alone diverted much of Orion’s attention; he worried for her safety and therefore couldn’t fully focus on the project.
If it had been someone else, the outcome might have been entirely different!

Olivia thought for a moment and concluded, “He’s utterly captivated by your beauty; he can’t break free from your charm.”
Seraphina rolled her eyes and said, “Being careless is also a lesson. There will be plenty more situations like this in the future; consider it a way for him to get used to the feeling of losing ahead of time.”
Olivia couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. “Ms. Cross is always impressive! The things you say could drive someone insane!”
Suddenly, a thought struck her. She looked at Seraphina and asked, “Why did I always run into Justin when I see Sarah? Has he given up being an actor?”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow, realizing Olivia was even slower than she thought–she didn’t know about Sarah and Justin.
“Filming isn’t as important as dating,” she replied.
Olivia gasped and stood up in shock. “Holy crap!”
Seraphina raised her finger to hush her.
“Keep your voice down! Your reaction is so over the top!”
Olivia sat down in a daze and said, “Never in my wildest dream would I dream of Justin seeing Sarah.”
Seraphina sighed and said, “They’re probably in the pursuing stage; they still haven’t gotten together yet.”
Olivia clicked her tongue. “No wonder. Every time I have dinner with them, Justin looks like he wants to bore a hole through my face! And every time I invite them to a movie, Justin only buys two bags of popcorn. Was he hinting for me to leave?”
Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh. Olivia was such a clueless third wheel; she must be driving Justin up the wall after all this time.
Just as she was about to say something, Seraphina’s phone rang. It was Emeris.
He urged her to return home, as Wilson had arrived to collect little Dani.

Seraphina frowned and simply said okay as she prepared to leave.
After parting ways with Olivia, she headed straight home.
